Absolutely wonderful store and family! I was blown away at the quality, care, and measures they took to ensure food allergies werent a risk (gluten free at request in the bakery) and how extensive they are willing to go in cooking to ensure flavors. They make EVERYTHING from scratch, from the shawarmas to the baklava. I 100% recommend to everyone, go meet this sweet family and taste the amazing work they brought to the state.

Small to medium size dining area but enjoy the traditional booths and bench seat mixture. The staff were kind. The chicken shawarma over rice and fries is amazing. While you wait for food to come out hot and fresh, take a peek at their dessert case. the pistachio rolls are amazing. there is a lot of baklava varieties also. if you are in a bit of a hurry, suggest calling ahead to get order to go as the 12-20 minute food prep/wait sign is accurate but well worth it. shukran!

Family-owned, homemade, high quality Middle Eastern meals such as kebab, chicken biryani, delicious eggplant dip, and flatbread sandwiches. You will not leave hungry. Attached there is a handmade baklava/pastry bar with a fresh selection of every version of baklava you can imagine plus Turkish simit and other savory pastries. The atmosphere is very beautiful and authentic and the owners are lovely people who make you feel like you are eating in their home.

Absolutely wonderful Middle Eastern cuisine, style and personality!! I’ll be the first to qualify my review by admitting that I am quite limited in my capacity to hand out stars for authenticity. Based on the dozen or so times I’ve had Middle Eastern food (mostly at homes and celebrations), this food fits the bill and expectation for authentically Middle Eastern. But, again, I am from the Deep South of the Pacific Northwest, so take it with a pinch of salt...and some Falafel! I wish I hadn’t been so eager to dish up before getting a photo; and it is not the prettiest photo, but I am sharing it for context. Check out the “leftovers” from our family platter purchase: 3 of the 4 adults, and 5 hungry teens/preteens all ate substantially!! And it covered lunch the next day for several of us! It
