Have been going to this place for literally decades. This is my first time back in about 8 years. Just as good as it's always been. Very fresh food. Veggie friendly. Typically get a wrap and always love it. The bread is super fresh and tasty. I always like the mint in the wraps we get it's a great contrast. It's almost addictive. I find myself craving this place quite often but it's not very close and the hours are a little out of the norm. Highly recommend it. It's a worth the try. My personal favorite is the feta and mozzarella wrap.
parked on the st a block away. 15min spot right in front. some st parking.
dining is outdoor with fans and shade. order inside and wait for food outside.
I got a Chicken shawarma wrap ($10) that tasted like boiled drychicken with tomatoes lettuce and pickles. I asked the lady if this was my correct order. She took it back and brought another one. it was much better, chicken wasn't tough and it was mixed with tahini and more flavorful and saucy. The wrap bread is fresh and tasty. I could come back for the 2nd tahini filled wrap. or just order something else
The falafel plate comes with bread, salad, and hummus in a to-go box. it was all pretty good and came out to $15.
I appreciate the friendly service and that they cared enough to fix my first wrap. Cold water provided outside is self service . utensils and salt also outside self service. but gotta ask for hot sauce.
seating is nice outside and is open to public too.
One small bathroom in the back.
Mama's Bakery and Michoz are the local Lebanese competitors. Depending on my taste buds determines who is the best. I can say this, Mama's is always good and never misses the mark. Variety of choices for vegan, dairy-free, carnivores and plain eating folk.
I can go on about each dish but the chicken schwarma is a Top 3. Add extra pickles and easy feta. A well-presented wrap layered with grilled chicken, green leaf lettuce, tomatoes, tahini etc. No skimping on any ingredient.
Prices are comparable to a sit down restaurant without gratuity.
Cash and cards accepted. Dine-in or to-go and catering services available. Wait-tinr during lunch could be up to 20-30 minutes. Other times 10-15 minutes.
Street parking can get hairy but there is special parking for bicycles. Most visitors from different cultures favor this eatery.
