Great place to eat. Everyone was right about the quality of the food. Atmosphere is 3/5 because it's such a small place and could use some AC but I didn't mind. The owner / cook was fantastic.

FINALLY SOMEONE DID IT RIGHT! The chicken shawarma was spot on, ever since I left the Middle East from two years working there I have been craving a classic chicken shawarma. This has it all fries, pickles, garlic sauce. The owner was so kind and fun! I hope his business continues to go well and he one day can get a more public location! Although his location has great parking!

A very delicious place that I highly recommend! I would also like to mention the friendly and welcoming owner. I tried the shawarma, one of my favorite dishes, especially with French fries inside, and it was absolutely amazing. I also ordered khachapuri, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I will definitely come back again.

Albert (chef & owner)always takes great care of us and welcomes us with a bright smile! He is happy to help you decide what you want to try if you are new to Syrian and Lebanese food. Eerything I have tried at each visit never disappoints and food comes out delicious, fresh, and hot. (No food sitting under a heat lamp here!) So don't expect fast food wait times because he puts a lot of care into the food and it shows! Today I had the chicken schwarma (one of my favorites filled with chicken fries and that amazing garlic sauce) with fries and a salad while the husband had the khachappuri with ground beef, spices and cheese! Also delicious but he prefers the traditional egg and cheese (also a must try) you may have to ask for it though.

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.
