A truly authentic gem. Warm and friendly hospitality. Really good food. Ample parking. Great selection of middle eastern products for sale from olives to olive oil and much more. I’ll be back for sure on my next pass through town. Bravo!

Oh my the food was delicious! I had the lamb combo platter and tried a sample the babaganoush and it was so good that I bought a large container to go. The service was excellent! Very casual atmosphere with Egyptian inspired decor. There are food products for sale in the main space and then another room with more tables.

Very friendly service and nice food. Grape leaves and hummus were both great. Hummus is light in flavor but still tasty. Rice was also delicious. Meats were tasty but all a little dry. We waited a bit after we got home before we ate it so that may have contributed to it being dry. But will definitely be back.

Incredibly tasty, vibrant food that rejuvenated us in the middle of a 13 hour drive. Having spent a bit of time in the Middle East, this was among the best falafel I’ve ever had. The staff’s warmth only added to the wonderful dinner. This was a gem to find.

Absolutely delicious food! I found my new favorite place to eat. I had chicken shawarma over hummus and it was superb! Best I’ve ever had! My family too enjoyed their meal.

Love the falafel wrap – I get it every time I go there! Hubby likes the chicken shawarma wrap. Always great food and great service! The lunch deal is a great offer, check it out!

We get food here sometimes when the kids want the fast food across the street. Service, timing, and packaging are good. Food is ok but could be better. The lamb is dried out. The grape leaves are not great. I could barely taste anything other than the dry meat in my last gyro. Hummus is good. I try them maybe very six months and they were best when just opened. Pricing is ok, I’ve seen good lunch deals.

Used to love the food, actually still do. The biggest problem is with their service. I ordered a specific item on the menu and received a lesser expensive version. Told them about it and asked them to make up the difference with a refund and they flat out said “NO”. No offer of a gift card, or a credit on a future order, nothing. So much for customer service. They also had my food ready at 7:10 for a 7:40 pickup. Don’t offer advance ordering if you’re going to let the food sit in the bag for 30 minutes before I come to get it.

Excellent food and great customer service.The decor there was interesting because it is an Egyptian theme which matches the owner’s country of origin. She was very nice as well. We will be coming back when we are in town.

We were hungry and just passing by and found this little gem. There was four of us… granddaughter had rice and beans (she did the yummy food dance), we had hummus, stuffed eggplant (it’s not really stuffed, more like smushed with peppers yum-o) w/ spicy rice, falafel with salad (perfect crunch and moist in the middle), and chicken shawarma platter. Excellent lunch date… can’t wait to come back and try everything else.
