Fantastic! The service was great when we were ordering, very personable and helpful. We ordered a chicken rice bowl, chicken wings, and a pomegranate lemonade. The rice bowl was VERY good, the portion was huge, easily 2 meals for me but I powered through and made it one meal 👀👀 The hummus was creamy and delicious, ... perfect for the other flavors in the bowl. I wish we lived here because I’d eat here once a week.

This place rocks, genuinely one of the best loaded fries I’ve ever had. Fries, pickled peppers, ground lamb, genuinely all of my favorite flavors and it was executed to perfection. I will 100% be back for that dish alone but my friends really enjoyed their wraps as well!

Delicious and fresh! The service was friendly and fast. I had the hummus bowl with chicken shawarma. So flavorful and satisfying. The pita was perfectly soft. Would definitely eat here again!
