★★★★★ 5.0 Mimi · Jan 2025

this is a nice little cafe where you order up at the counter and then pick a place to sit, and they bring you your food. the hummus is exceptional, very creamy and dreamy. combo plate is very good, beef cooked perfectly, and you get to try a little of everything. we didn’t love the yogurt salad but would try a different salad. the shawarma sandwich is great and their garlic sauce is essential. the place is clean and organized and staff are friendly.

Got take out today. Fries and an ultimate feast with side of pickles. Everyrthing was delicious...but my goodness the fries were FIRE. The falafel was the next stand out. Though all the meats were delicious (and wow such tender beef) the fries and falafel were next level. Run don't walk for your next meal here

★★★★★ 5.0 Azu Gama · Jan 2026

The lunch plate is great but it could use more toppings. It was delicious!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Eugene Saban · Jan 2026

Updating review based on owner defensive comments and no class. What you say makes zero sense. If falafel are fried then they should be airy and succulent, not dry,.brittle and flavorless. A sauce sbould not influence whether a falafel is dry. Whoever voted clearly was paid to vote in your favor. Ordered 2 falafel sandwiches with fries on evening of Jan. 5. The fries were very good, but both falafel sandwiches had very, very, very, very dry falafel to the point where my son and I threw the sandwiches away. they crumbled after each bite similar to how stale bread would crumb. Tasted like sand. Perhaps they have falafel for Pick Up orders hoping the freshness isn't noticed and keeping those that are fresh for those who are eating in. Who knows, but will avoid in the future.

Walked in to place an order and was told it was a 10 minute wait, which is fine except it took 20 minutes. Plus, the girl who took my order was extremely rude. Kind of threw my food at me And said nothing. Not even thank you. Won’t be going back.
