I've been here a few times since it opened and its always delicious. Today was Valentines day and it was a friendly cozy place to spend the evening. We got the Chicken Shawarma plate, Syrian fries wrap, and a Olive and Mushroom Pizza. Everything was so good and the service is quick. Definitely going back again and I fully reccomend coming here.
We love this place. Despite being a fan of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine, I had never heard of some of the dishes here before. This was actually the first place I learned about Sujuk, a ground beef mixed with spices dish. It was really good and not a very heavy meal despite its large appearance. So good in fact that I came back here for my birthday dinner. The chef/owner noticed we were taking pictures so he gave us extra special treatment to make the Sujuk sandwiches look nice. I went here per the recommendation of my coworker and it was one of the best decisions ever. My wife also told me that if we’re to do Middle Eastern again, we should come back here. My dad, who is usually picky about food, was very satisfied selecting this restaurant for my birthday celebration as well.
So delicious! We got chicken shawarma and cheese manakish and both were excellent. The owner is also very welcoming and friendly, and helped us navigate the menu. The place has several tables and a bar for dine-in orders. Our takeout order was nicely packaged. Will definitely come back to try more stuff!
The food here is so good, I got the chicken Shawarma (only 9.99!!) and the fatayer bites which are like mini pizzas. everything was outstanding in taste and very affordable for someone who has jury duty and has to go out and buy lunch every single day. Definitely coming back here, the owner is super nice.
IDK if this place is ran by the same guys that had Lebanese Oven, but I enjoyed it just as much. The food tastes fresh and meticulously well made like they actually care about the quality of their food. I always enjoy trying new things so I had the honey Minakesh with the Chicken shawarma and they both were delicious. Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu!
