    Wonderful mid East and Mediterranean food. Try the awesome shawarma and the tasty spinach pie.

    Traditional middle eastern fare was good, but they need to start offering fresh bread like Fadi's.

    You can't go wrong with anything on the (authentic) menu. The falafel sandwich for lunch is great. Wonderful folks here.
