Great, authentic, and easy to find restaurant! Ordering at the counter is simple and quick. They’ve got quite the extensive menu of traditional middle eastern dishes. Whether you’re looking for sweet or savory, there’s something for everyone! I ordered the beef and lamb shwarma with fries and lemonade. The shwarma comes wrapped up tight, so if you’ve got to grab and go, they’ve got you set. Each was served up hot and fresh, and the lemonade was cool and refreshing. Check in for their specials each day as well!
