    The line is always out the door so don't come here if you are in a hurry. The food (especially the falafel) is amazing but they nickel and dime you for every little thing (hummus, olives, tahini).

    House chips are great. Crispy salty bits of potato. The bowl with their spicy sauces is recommended. Pita is large and can be heavy on the stomach, couscous is better. Have calorie counts up too!

    Their fries are really fresh potato chips. And so good. One of the best Mediterranean places I've been. Don't let the fast casual chain appearance scare you.

    Delicious Falafel sandwiches here! Also they served Chicken Doner, purely a middle eastern restaurant. They have nice dine-in area.

    Love the food here. Pitas, chicken shawarma and falafel especially. But if u have a bit of a sweet tooth, try their baklava too - it's pretty good :)

    Really good chick shwarma in pita! Good flavor and the pita is soft and chewy. I ate the whole damn thing. As Arnold Shwarmaneger might say; I'll be back.

    Ask for extra hot sauce on the side. Ask to add the creamy garlic sauce to your pita.

    They have very good falafel. It is difficult to see how busy it is since the seating is all the way in the back.

    The Middle Eastern version of Chipotle. Great if you’re looking for a cheap, quick bite to eat. You’ll likely have leftovers though!

    Best falafel. All the sides are yummy. Ask for fresh naf fries they are great.

    I'd say don't go crazy the first time there. Get a taste for each ingredient before going for everything. Pitas get messy fast.

    It was my 1st time there so I ordered a bowl of half chicken shawarma and half flafel. I didn't like the shawarma. Obviously it wasn't freshly made! The flafel was good though. The garlic sauce too!

    My fast food go-to work lunch spot. They really got to ease up on the portion control though. Used to be much better about it. A little more please.

    Great spot for customizable shawarma bowls and pitas. Careful with the spicy sauce. It's really spicy.

    Staff on Saturday night didn't really seem to care. Falafel was good though and they didn't charge us for all the items which helped make up for the service.

    Everything here including the lentil soup and spicy chutney is worth trying. The staff is friendly and quick but they'll never fill up your bowl to your heart's content. Prod them politely, I say! :)

    Stuff some of the fries into your fresh-baked pita. It's how it's done across the Middle East.
