Lance: Lamb shawarma is delicious. Note: $30 min. for debit / no credit cards.

Kai Tang: Shawarma pita sandwich is delicious
Charles B: this place is amazing, but make sure you beat the lunch crowd, as lines can get very long around 1230. schwarma platter is the way to go.
Lucy Xu: Chicken shwarma or schnitzel platter...literally can't go wrong. If you're ordering to-go, make sure you ask for the tahini + hot sauce on the side!

Ricardo Seixas: Good gyros and pita shawarma... But no lamb meat.
Bernard Scally: It's hard to find a man like Smiley these days. He bends over backward to take care of ALL his customers, whether you're a first timer or a regular.
JP: Try the shawarma, falafel, or chicken kebab.
shawnelise t: Shawarma was more chunks of meat when I expected slices but the portions were large & prices cheap for savory food. Hummous was a little bland but falafel was excellent.
