This place gives you undeniable value for the portion sizes. It also appears to be a healthy choice for meals.
Unfortunately, that's about all I can commend them for. The flavor of their sauces and entrees are just too bland and don't do justice to the meal.
We ordered a Lamb-Beef Shawarma Sandwich and a Chicken Shawarma Plate. Everything was extremely mild in flavor (with the exception of a strong lamb odor in the sandwich), the pita that came with the plate was cold and while cooked through, it tasted yeasty and almost doughy in consistency. The chicken was dry and tasteless; there was also black burnt bits among all my meat. We couldn't help but to leave our meals unfinished. The sandwich supposedly comes with pickled vegetables and salad, but we found only some tomatoes and flavorless lettuce in the wrap.
The rice in the plate was solidly normal, but ended up being best-tasting out of everything we ordered...
If you're here at all for a good time and not just a long time, I wouldn't recommend this place to you. If you have a lot of health considerations and insist on low-sodium everything in your life, the hummus here might just be your jam. All I could taste was the beany-ness of the chickpeas.

Live down the street and have been here multiple times. The food is always good and the people are always friendly. I go for the chicken shawarma or the combo shawarma and it always delivers. Price point is great too. I have leftovers for the next meal every time I go.

I have been here a few times before. It surprised me that their tabouli is just tomato, cucumber, parsley, and bulgur. No onion, no lemon juice dressing, no mint. As a result there isn't much flavor. The hummus and rice lack seasoning as well. However, the kofta kebab has lots of flavor (possibly because it's lamb), and is always delicious. And I really love their dolmas. I think they are 50/50 on their dishes. Nothing is bad, but most things don't have as much flavor as what I've experienced elsewhere. That said, I like the staff and location is close by, so I keep coming back for those dolmas!

5 star review. This place has a great bang for your buck. I paid about 12 for all of this food. They give you plenty of sides and most importantly, they don’t skimp out on the meat. The service was also top notch. They were so nice. I was NOT expecting all of this. Would def recommend. Chicken shawarma plate is also pretty healthy.

Lots of food for little money, and the quality is pretty good! Get the shawarma combo plate and call it a day. I’ve had the falafel wrap many a time but it never is as tasty or fresh as others I’ve had elsewhere. It’s open late and great for a quick pick-me-up though, so if you’re hankering for loads of grub you should check it out.

It's a no-frills type of spot with genial staff and a good variety of dishes from which to choose. I had the lamb shawarma plate, each component of the plate was flavorful and served in abundant portions.
