Customer Reviews
I ordered the plant-based shawarma plate to go. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The person at the register came across as quite cold and unfriendly, which set an unwelcoming tone. The meal itself was very bland and largely one-dimensional in flavor. It was also quite heavy, consisting mostly of starches, and lacked fresh vegetables or other components to balance the dish. I arrived very hungry, but found it difficult to continue eating because there wasn’t anything to cut through the heaviness. The restaurant seemed busy and clearly popular, so I imagine there may be better options on the menu. However, based on this experience, I unfortunately wasn’t able to finish the meal.
I got a falafel to eat in the restaurant for dinner and then got some gyros to bring home. I didn’t want lettuce or tomato. The falafel was excellent. Just the right texture and a great flavor. The gyro was above average. The meat was a little too salty for my personal preference but the portion size was great. I loved the welcoming sign inside! The bathroom was in a different building next door which was a bit unusual.
First visit here was today. I loved the Gyro. Tzatziki sauce was very good and the meat was delicious and they're very generous with it. This could be a once a week staple for me. I'll probably go for the plate lunch next to see what the salad is like
I can't remember the last time I loved something so much. This pita wrap was insane. The flavors are so good. They know how to wrap this...I ordered takeout and ate it almost an hour later and it was completely intact. Didn't make it to the other part of meal because this was so good. Standout meal I should add...I've never been to Knoxville before. I stayed at a nearby hotel and looked for a place with great ratings.
The food is good. They seem to have made some changes to the chicken plate that didn't do it any favors, but the falafel side order was amazing. The atmosphere honestly isn't much different from a waffle house and there isn't a bathroom to wash your hands in before eating. Which is a little gross because all the food is served with some kind of finger food.
