Great modern takes on classic middle eastern street food. The branched, chipotle style menu makes for quick and easy customization. The shawarmas are on real vertical broilers and the falafel is crispy and spiced correctly. The fries are crisp and the combo prices are amazing. You can feed two people well for under 20 here. Catering is available as well. Update: I came back on 9/21/23 They have a Peet’s coffee bar now and are open early. The coffee was fantastic. The black tie was bitter and sweet and reminiscent of Vietnamese coffee. My girl got The pumpkin spice cappuccino and it was quite good! They also offer breakfast snacks now as well! Love this place

Operation falafel is a homerun! They have great vegan options and the place is warm and welcoming. They are the kindest staff/team and they are willing to make sure you are happy. The food is delicious and I will surely be back. The price is good for the portion size. Great for a quick bite

I absolutely LOVE their food. The beef or chicken shawarma is always my go-to and my husband thinks they have the best fries (they do!) Kal B who rings us up every time is so so so friendly. Love his customer service! Makes me want to continue supporting this business and eating their incredible meals. Thank you so much!!

This is the best Mediterranean place to have your favorite chicken shawarma. The place is so clean, service is great, price commensurate with the quality of food with fresh ingredients. From the portions and presentation of every servings will exceed your expectations and will keep you coming back to try every item on their menu.

I ate their Loaded Fries Shawarma Chicken and garlic sauce, which was decidedly yummy. My goodness! The depth of the taste was phenomenal. Their spices are subtle, but memorable. I chose their garlic sauce and my friend chose the Tahini sauce on her beef Shawarma. The food is plentiful here. It was enough for me to be able to take some home. I was too hungry for that the first time, to do that. I've went back yesterday with the same friend. The fun part is that they give points that you can use for each purchase, which I had missed seeing before, but my friend had not. I signed up on the spot and received 50 points the equivalent of 5.00 off my meal. Stupendous! For my second visit, I had the Beef Sharwarma and my friend had a wrap. I was expecting shredded beef, but it was ground. Again, the spices added depth, but there was also perhaps a bit of greasiness from the ground beef. Although pretty, there was an almost overwhelming amount of chopped tomatoes on top, plus the requisite pickles. I opted out of the red onions, again since I have an onion sensitivity. That might cut the slight greasy taste bringing up the rear. I did not finish it, abs decided to take it home. Don't get me wrong it was still quite good, moist, ...yet still a little greasy. I will, return. The food options, taste, and the bonus points, all make it worth it to go.
