Amazing one stop shop for food and specialty grocery items. Great lunch deals, awesome prepared food (get the falafel and cheese roll up), and quality specialty items you won’t find anywhere else. Friendly service! Even if you don’t want to eat, grab a hot chocolate with cardamom for your walk!

The prepared food is delicious and the bowl I ordered was so stuffed that the lid integrity was tested - very generous portions! You can also order a la carte items from bins - falafel, kebbe, zucchini pie, spinach pie... all delicious. They also have Jordan almonds as a snack pack.... a must. The staff is polite and nice. A very welcome addition to the Albemarle/Connecticut Ave corner. We have made a few visits and $35 was enough food to have fed the two of us a couple of meals each.

A very welcome addition to the neighbourhood. The baba ganoush, hummus and moussaka are all fantastic. Four types of feta, lovely olives and halloumi, plus some other treats. There's now also an awesome chicken grill.

The sweetest employees work here! They have an affordable hot shawarma and bowls over the counter, as well as a grocery store stocked with basics such as lentils, freekeh, labne, pita, turmos, spices, cheese, fresh olives, homemade hummus, tabooleh, and other dips. I also got their homemade meat and spinach pies (~$2 each) and heated them at home and they’re so delicious. Highly recommend this shop 😊

The bowls are so good. Staff very nice too. Such big portions. Fresher then cava
