Reviews
Would give a 4.5 if I could. My husband and I are from out of town. He found this restaurant on yelp and wanted to try it after reading the reviews. food: 10/10. I got the eggplant wrap. pita was perfectly toasted, the eggplant was so tasty! My husband got the chicken schwarma. He wished it had a bit more sauce but was otherwise very good. service: 10/10. The restaurant was a bit empty due to Ramadan. However everyone was very accommodating. ambiance: 4/5. clean, lots of seating. Only thing is that the bathroom was hard to find. Overall will definitely come back next time we are in town.
We've been frequenting this place for quite a while, and I can honestly say it never disappoints. Last week, we ordered catering for a nonprofit event in the valley, and the experience was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. From the first point of contact to loading the food into the car, every step was seamless and enjoyable. The owner and his family truly know how to make you feel valued, and it shows in the way they operate. Hands down, the best service and food you can ask for. If you're not eating here yet, you're seriously missing out.
The owner is the nicest guy! Talked to him forever and really enjoyed all our food. We got apps, dinner, and desserts! Everything is homemade and you can really tell. Great place to eat!
Absolutely perfect! These guys know how to do it. Everything is made fresh by hand in front of you. The shawarma rotisserries are in full view as you watch them slice the hot delicious pieces fresh from the source. All of the ingredients seem very fresh. The flavors are intense and complex, they do not skrimp on anything. They take their time and make it fresh to your request right in front of you. Not a microwave in sight. The portions are enormous for any price point. You really get a ton of food for your money. The plates and atters come with all the odds and ends, come hungry! The employees are SO cool. They're unbelievably friendly and seem to take genuine pride in the food they're making and it really feels like they want you to hang out and have a great experience. They're super welcoming, supper accommodating, and very friendly. This is one of the best restaurants in the city right now maybe full stop. Amazing flavors, so fresh, friendly people, huge portions, fair prices. Amazing.
Don't be fooled by the location (small strip center). Food is really good and service great
