Honestly we were skeptical that a little hole in the wall in a parking lot would have such high reviews but we will definitely go back! For less than 50, we got beef and chicken Schwarma with fries, the burger and a huge portion of loaded fries seen in the photos. Both sandwiches were really good, the burger was super juicy and tender and for what you pay you get decent portions. I will say do expect to wait to get your food, they cook to order so it took us 15 minutes or so to order and get food but it’s worth the wait!

This place is a hidden gem, their food is unique, full of flavor and nothing short of amazing! Not to mention the staff is always friendly and thankful for your business! Try it out, you won't be disappointed, and you can always call ahead with your order so it's ready when you get there. The chicken Tikka plate is my personal favorite!

The food is so good, and honestly the presentation is too. Even in to-go boxes, the dishes are beautifully arranged and so colorful. It tastes even better than it looks, which is saying a lot. The rice is aromatic and wonderfully prepared, and the sides are very fresh. The employees are super friendly and this restaurant deserves your business.

Late night quick trip for some delicious food! Freshly made to order. Beef schwarma and the chicken plate were both delicious. They gave a huge serving of the hummus which was also awesome! It was exceptionally creamy and flavorful. Enjoyed the salad!

I travel a lot for work and always try to explore the various local food fair... But I particularly have a soft spot for shawarma. I must say compared to many other places I've been, for being a hole in the wall, this place offers some of the most authentic tasting Middle Eastern food. I got the beef sandwich, the meat was juicy and perfectly seasoned. Loved the pickled cabbage in the sandwich. The fries were perfectly crispy and the toum was fresh with the perfect amount of garlic and citrus. Chef's kiss. Definitely try this place out if you haven't before!

Food was delicious! Cooked fresh for you so factor in a 7-12 min wait which is totally worth it. Their homemade garlic sauce is an absolute must as it makes the kebab so much better! Overall a very good combination. You can also request naan bread which I did with my meal. If you have a big order, call ahead to decrease the wait time. Drive thru available, factor in 10-15 min wait.Will be stopping by again as the foods great AND the price is very reasonable! Plus it’s local & family owned.
