Good food ruined by terrible packaging.
The packaging it used to come in had separate compartments. Now they just throw a Shawarma plate into this a glorified Chinese food box and it’s just makes the food into a messy presentation. I don’t want the salad buried underneath the rice. Maybe this is petty for some, but the packaging totally ruins it for me.

Great portion size. Chicken shawarma and chicken kebab plates were tasty (ask for a side of garlic sauce). The sweets are amazing, best basboosa I've ever had! Friendly service.
The lamb was un-chewable. It was RUBBER. I would suggest skipping lamb all together. The chicken kebab roll was good. Sauces were great!
Best chicken shawarma we've ever had and the man running the place was so kind! I'm desperate to go back before we fly home to grab some baklava which looked incredible
Delicious, healthy portions, friendly staff, easy access. My mouth waters at the thought of this establishments food. Tried it first time a couple months ago, have eaten there three times, and going back after I type this, as they close at 0300!!! Parking on Main Street, as Broadway has a bus stop and bus lane.
I ordered lamb Shawarma plate, it was a terrible. The meat, the rice and even the salad were all terrible. I think they spill half a glass of oil into the salad. Rice was mushy. Tried it and couldn't have the second bite. Order from this place if you want to waste your money.
As an Arab American who often goes back home to the Middle East, I can guarantee that this place is the real deal. Everything about it is authentic. The food is delicious and tastes like home but has its own unique flavor. Whatever you get, make sure you get it spicy because their spicy tahini is what makes the sandwich/plate (still delicious not spicy as well). The owner is friendly and hilarious and is usually playing great music to keep you entertained while you wait. The place just feels like the kind of shop I would go to back home. If you don’t feel like waiting at the store for take out, their delivery is very quick and I’ve never had a problem with that either. Do yourself a favor and TRY THIS PLACE OUT!!
