I had the chicken shawarma. It was absolutely delicious! The portion size was big too. This is a must try! It was made fresh and quick! I will be back! I also catered Shabbat from here and it was delicious. The rib eye bowl was incredible so much flavor

Just had a shawarma cauliflower half pita with medium spice…. I loved it! I also bought a container of hummus that is silky smooth. I found French dried lentils here too. I’ll be back. Highly recommend this location. Staff was friendly and the store was very clean.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. The store was immaculate, and the staff was very personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. There are a wide variety of Israeli and Sephardi options- ranging from snacks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Everything we got was delicious and fresh. It was great to see the store crowded during the weekday, and we will continue to come here while we still live in the general area.

Always fresh and delicious! I love the variety of vegetarian and gluten-free options. The new bowls are fantastic, and I highly recommend the soups, Turkish eggplant, and hummus from the deli case. The custom bowl with sabich at the counter is a standout, but everything is great. While their prices are a bit high, the quality is worth it. Highly recommend!

This place is the best ! Every single thing I’ve ever tried or purchased is fresh and absolutely delicious as well as consistent. I always get the falafel scotch eggs ( got 2 yesterday) and they are phenomenal - my favorite because it’s so unique but I can’t say enough good things about everything I get from there. Lucky to have this place here !
