Kind words from the neighborhood

A few recent Google reviews, quoted as written.

  1. I love this place. You’ll wait about 10-15 minutes for the food but I can see why. So good and huge portions!

  2. The atmosphere of the place is very pleasant and the place is clean. It is the first time I visited. I didn't know what to buy and the employee helped me and the truth is, the food is very delicious. The vegetables are delicious. The rice is not dry or hard. The chicken They taste good. Recommended for parking. It is better to use the lot.. Recommended.

  3. First time eating here and will definitely be back. I ordered the chicken kabob sandwich meal and chose rice as my side. My mom ordered chicken shawarma bowl and we also got a 2 piece baklava. Everything was very fresh and tasty. Chicken well seasoned, juicy and big chunks. Rice was also perfect, not dry at all. Baklava was delicious! I've had places that are overly sweet but this one was just right. I enjoy seating down and eating at the restaurant but they do also get alot of takeout orders I noticed if you're in a rush.
