Delicious saj and lentil soup. Chill atmosphere with soothing music. Would definitely spend an hour catching up with friends here again.

Saturday night 7:45 take out, Place was busy with takeout drivers mostly, however the front of house staff was friendly and attentive. Food is great. Great little spot!

I recently visited this shawarma place and tried their chicken shawarma in Saj and pita bread, and it was an excellent experience. The chicken was perfectly cooked—juicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned, with the spices blending harmoniously. The Saj bread added a soft, fresh, and slightly chewy texture that complemented the chicken wonderfully. The pita bread was equally impressive, fluffy yet sturdy enough to hold all the fillings without falling apart. What stood out was the balance of flavors—the crunch of fresh veggies, the tangy kick of the sauces, and the warm spices in the chicken. The portion size was generous, making it a fulfilling meal.

I went to this shawarma place with my sisters and the service was amazing! I ordered chicken kabob and while serving me they were honest and told me they made a mistake and prepared beef but they were going to give it to me for free and make a chicken one as well. I was really thankful that they were forthcoming about their mistake and offered a solution before I could even point out the honest mistake. Overall the food is well seasoned and the presentation is so beautiful I wish I took a picture but the food looked so good that I ate it as soon as it was served. Also love the fact that it’s halal and that it’s advertised as such at the front of the store.

had chicken shawarma wrap on pita combo, super flavourful, crispy pita, nice presentation, delicious! Not too bad of a wait for food, especially since it was busy on a Holiday Monday. My friend got pilaf rice, fattouch salad, and arayes. I tried each, super good! The pomegranate molasses on the salad and arayes is amazing. The man who took our orders was able to bring our food to our table when it was ready. I am disabled, so this was really nice. He also offered us a sample of their lentil soup part way through the meal, super smooth, flavourful, delicious! If I wasn't already full from the rest of the food I may have ordered some.

I walked in very hungry and I got far more than what I pay. I love the crispy sandwich so different from many other Shawama places. And the guy even added fries and salad as complimentary .I immediately told my husband about the service. I have enough for lunch today and tomorrow ...

Honestly, this was the best food experience I’ve had in a long time. The charcoal grilled chicken was next level — super juicy, tender, and full of that amazing smoky flavor you only get from real charcoal. The fries were perfectly crispy, and that garlic sauce? So creamy and flavorful, I couldn’t stop dipping everything in it. What really surprised me was the warm pita bread with Muhammara sauce — it was rich, a little smoky, and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. You can tell they really know what they’re doing. I’ll definitely be coming back!
