Is there such thing as 10 stars? Let’s make it a thing, this place gets 10 stars! Some of the best Shawarma I have had anywhere. Their food is made freshly from scratch with quality ingredients. You truly cannot go wrong coming to eat here. You won’t be disappointed. I will definitely be coming back anytime I’m in this area.

Stumbled into this spot purely by accident after my Caltrain broke down at the Burlingame station making for a surprisingly good delay. Stopped in for lunch and it quite busy, but the service was quick. The vibe is immaculate, with plenty of seating and an open kitchen setup where you can watch the chefs cook through the glass. I grabbed the falafel deluxe pita to go, and easily one of the best falafel wraps I’ve had. The falafel, eggplant, and cauliflower are all fried, yet the wrap somehow still tasted incredibly fresh. Portions were generous and very satisfying, and in my opinion, totally worth the price. I’d absolutely go out of my way to come back.

An absolute must-stop just five minutes from SFO! This family-run spot serves the freshest and most delicious Mediterranean food I've ever had. The #4 lamb & beef shawarma plate was so generous it easily fed two of us for lunch, and the tabouli salad was the perfect fresh complement. For dessert, the baklava was a standout—incredibly juicy with a flaky, crunchy top. (Pro tip: the pistachio slightly edges out the walnut!) Considering the incredible quality, massive portions, and fair price, it was the best value of our entire trip. The process is a breeze: order at the counter and your food is ready quickly. The space is cozy with about eight tables, each seating four.

Loved everything we tried here. The shawarma was flavorful and well-seasoned, the burger was juicy and satisfying, and the falafel was crisp and fresh. Great portion sizes, fast service, and quality food. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.
