“ really good food, i enjoyed it very much. i got a bowl and it was delicious. would go again if it wasnt so far from me ”
“ One of the authentic places serving Chicken Shawerma and Gyros.. Had a flavourful chicken Shawerma platter with an aromatic saffron rice and sauce. !! CAUTION: Beware of the Hot sauce ! It is truly hot and Spicy !! If you are a spice lover should try it once ! Also Beef Shawarma is available and all the meats are Halal.. ”
“ First time trying this place. Loved the falafel dinner with all the toppings (jalapenos, purple olives, bell peppers, tomatoes). And their signature white sauce with some hot sauce on the side. I tasted the beef and I'm definitely gonna get that next time. Falafel balls were good, just a bit over fried. Staff was very friendly and there was 1 child seat available. Some indoor and outdoor seating options available. Looking forward to my next visit! ”
“ Very good food and fast professional service. Just be careful of the spicy sauce. It might be too much for you to handle. I personally like it a lot, but I don't think it's for everyone. If you want to maybe get it on the side even with the extra cost, it's better to be safe than ruin your meal. My cousin had to give me his plate and oder a new one because he couldn't handle it. The spice has a bit of smoky rich flavor. It is very spicy, but it doesn't linger too long, which I like. By the time I had the Baklava Cheesecake, the spice was all gone. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal. Well definitely be back again. ”
“ Amazingly yum Mediterranean place. It's a pretty famous chain on the east coast -- was very glad when they opened it on the west coast. Once I tried it, it was evident why people love it :) i usually have their vegetarian falafel rice bowl. Heard their chicken is delicious too. Their white yogurt sauce is delicious.. ”
“ Yummy chicken and beef gyro over rice! I have had their food in New York. They have replicated the taste in California. Sure you can’t replicate that feel of eating on the streets of Manhattan in cold winter. But this will be as close as you can get in California. Their menu is very simple. I recommend the plate. Portion sizes are big! Worth the money! ”
“ Excellent food. Make sure you get the hummus, olives, and onions added to your dish. You won’t be disappointed. ”
“ Their sauce packet said "we are different". I feel like most restaurants want to be different. Wanting to be different seems pretty ordinary. What would really make this place different is if their sauce packet said "we are ordinary". Being ordinary is underrated. I'd love to see a documentary on an ordinary person's life. The documentary about Michael Jordan's quest to six rings was incredible, but I want to see a documentary on a person's 9-5 job and their quest to retire at 60. That'd be the most different documentary. Anyway, the food was really good here. ”
