“ Awesome food great portions!! I am so glad they actually give you your moneys worth. Too often I come across places that charge a lot but do serve enough. The cool was a great guy got to talk to him on Wed. He really knew his stuff, showed me plates and was just all around helped while cashier was gone for a moment. Ordered to go and food was ready by the time got back from bathroom myself. Food came out pretty dang good. I’d recommend for lunch or a casual bite. I’d give it a 2 ‘s outta 3’s cuz I did order to go, got a side of sauce and the cashier didn’t offer utensils or put napkins in the bag. ”
“ I suggest trying the chicken pesto wrap, it's excellent. The veggie wrap had fresh ingredients, but the falafel was unexpectedly bitter. We informed the chef, but even they were unsure about the reason. On a positive note, the baklava was fresh and incredibly delicious. ”
