    My favorite Shawarma spot!

    The food is delicious. I usually get chicken shawarma with rice and fries and hummus on the side. It has been my favorite for almost 3 years now and continues to be. I used to go to their Mathilda location all the time and ever since this opened up, I have been a regular as it's closer to where I live.

    Their fresh juices are really good too. Different mix of flavors and refreshing.

    The wings are super tasty too in case you're in the mood for a starter, however, for me, the main course is usually enough. But if you're there with a couple more people then it would be perfect.

    The service is pretty fast. They take orders on the phone too in case you are trying to save time. Be warned that during rush hour (especially weekdays lunch time), there will be a wait. It gets crowded!

    Plus: They have outdoor seating and are pet friendly :)

    Overall, highly recommend it. Never ever had a bad experience there.

    Here multiple times, expect a jammed parking lot and having to circle around like a vulture for a spot, just park in the hotel behind the mall, too many eats here but this is my favorite.

    Their lamb and beef kebab over rice with humus always scratches my Med itch.  Also have had their wraps and they are also solid choice.  

    Wide selection of beers and wine, all mainstream stuff but good enough for a business traveler like me.  Want more upscale than Chipotle but not high end, this is just right landing in the low Jackson + a few Washington's landing zone

    Why not 5*, the help and slow moving line, basically the run of the mill help takes away from this being perfect

    No other Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food place seems to work for me. I've been to Oren's Hummus, Falafel bite, Saaj, Nick the Greek but nothing beats this one. I'm so regular here that the lady who takes my order (Jennifer) and I are (almost) on a first name basis haha.

    The consistency of food is what brings me back (almost) every week. The wife and I have tried a whole bunch of items here and each of those is as good as it gets. And as if their sides weren't so amazing already, they now give 2 sides with their rice/freekeh and pita/wrap entrees. More love!

    The wife is a vegetarian so she always gets something with falafel. The pita, the wraps and freekeh are all amazing and come with an ample amount of falafel. Nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the falafel is some of the best I've ever had.

    I usually get the Beriani Dejaj with Chicken or Salmon Freekeh with sides of Babaghanouge and Pomegranate eggplant with walnuts. I can't seem to get enough. Every time I think of ordering something else, I end up getting one of these two! The best part about this place? Their sauces. Wow. All 4 of them are great and crank the taste up 10 times. The portions are huge and I always plan to save some for later (you know, trying that portion control thing they talk about) but end up finishing it all.

    Cool and casual vibe. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Gets pretty busy for lunch on weekdays but the service is pretty quick. This place is more of a comfort food place for us now. Could eat here all day every day if I had that kinda money!

    I've been here a few times now and LOVE it. It's just as great as Dish Dash, but faster! They have drinks, so it's a great place to meet for happy hour. Lots of food, so great to meet for lunch or dinner. Keep in mind, parking can get hectic during weekday lunches due to lots of businesses around.
    They have many of the same staple items as Dish Dash (chicken beriyani dejaj- i'm looking at you) but also wraps, which are a quick lunch.
    I will totally be back!

    Came here for lunch. The parking seems to be a challenge.  The service was ok. The staff seemed to be reluctant to answer questions regarding food prep especially regarding food allergies.
    The chicken kabob was good. The portion sizes are great. I would definitely visit again but perhaps at a different time of the day.
