Was walking around the neighborhood and decided to stop in and look around. Mike was a very kind man, introduced himself and gave a sample platter of his food! Had some green salad and chicken shawarma with hummus! Can I say the food and the service were amazing!

My wife and I had a meeting in town and traffic was lighter than expected so we arrived early. With this time we searched for non-fastfood fare. Finding this small place was a bonus. Not only was the food flavorful with generous portions but the proprietor was our cook. He was friendly and gave recommendations on the menu. While waiting for the plates to be served we browsed the market shelves and found an array of items to get so we could cook and serve them later. We will return with more time to eat more slowly. If you're in town looking for good food. Try this place.

This is a Seaside gem! Portions are large and the owner is such a kind and hard-working person. Got the chicken shawarma plate and this picture is only one of three different containers we were given for the plate, so at $19.99 it's well worth it for what is essentially a home-cooked meal that can feed 2. The chicken shawarma was delicious!

Great little comfortable place with food that is simply yummy. As others have mentioned, the portions are HUGE - we took half of it home for another dinner! The Falafel Plate had a nice variety of sides along with the falafel patties, and every one of them was uniquely delicious. The Chicken Wrap was enough for two in itself (picture doesn't do it justice size-wise) and had wonderful flavorings also. Our cook/server (Manager Mike?) was so very pleasant. We'll be back!!

If you're looking for huge portions and a no frills shop, this is the place! A simple menu where you choose your meat and order it as a plate or a wrap. They make it in front of you, and you will be amazed at how much meat the pack onto the plate. It literally covers the rice completely. We also ordered the wrap, and that was equally hefty and delicious. When we went, there was only one person running the shop, and he was very nice and friendly. If you come here, you'll leave with a smile on your face and a generous amount of delicious food.

If you are looking for authentic, delicious tasting food, you need to check this place out. Mike will whip you up something amazing. I visited this place last week and I've been back twice. Writing this review and I'm ready to go now! The Lamb was A+. The quality of service was great. The feeling of the ambiance gives you authentic. Friendly place with great food. Check them out!

Eat local if you can! They make the order on the spot and the lady who made our food was very sweet. The falafels had good flavor just as the lamb gyros did. While you're waiting for your food, you can shop around, lots of middle eastern items you won't find in regular grocery stores. They sell halal meat of all kinds.
