Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I was craving some chicken shwarma and Zaytouna Bites sure came through! Soooo good!! So good, in fact, I came back for more the next day. The garlic sauce is the best. Next time I'm going to order extra. Prices are great as well. Definitely putting this on my regular take out schedule"
"IDK if this place is ran by the same guys that had Lebanese Oven, but I enjoyed it just as much. The food tastes fresh and meticulously well made like they actually care about the quality of their food. I always enjoy trying new things so I had the honey Minakesh with the Chicken shawarma and they both were delicious. Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu!"
"We love this place. Despite being a fan of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine, I had never heard of some of the dishes here before. This was actually the first place I learned about Sujuk, a ground beef mixed with spices dish. It was really good and not a very heavy meal despite its large appearance. So good in fact that I came back here for my birthday dinner. The chef/owner noticed we were taking pictures so he gave us extra special treatment to make the Sujuk sandwiches look nice. I went here per the recommendation of my coworker and it was one of the best decisions ever. My wife also told me that if we’re to do Middle Eastern again, we should come back here. My dad, who is usually picky about food, was very satisfied selecting this restaurant for my birthday celebration as well."
"The food is top-tier. One reason for my five star review is The friendliness of Albert. The atmosphere is simple here, low key, a good place for family during the week. You don’t feel like they are rushing to get you out."
"The food here is so good, I got the chicken Shawarma (only 9.99!!) and the fatayer bites which are like mini pizzas. everything was outstanding in taste and very affordable for someone who has jury duty and has to go out and buy lunch every single day. Definitely coming back here, the owner is super nice."
"So delicious! We got chicken shawarma and cheese manakish and both were excellent. The owner is also very welcoming and friendly, and helped us navigate the menu. The place has several tables and a bar for dine-in orders. Our takeout order was nicely packaged. Will definitely come back to try more stuff!"
"I've been here a few times since it opened and its always delicious. Today was Valentines day and it was a friendly cozy place to spend the evening. We got the Chicken Shawarma plate, Syrian fries wrap, and a Olive and Mushroom Pizza. Everything was so good and the service is quick. Definitely going back again and I fully reccomend coming here."
"I'm familiar with Arabic food, and definitely I can say that it's amazing, delicious and it's taste authentic. Guys, I have been in Saudi Arabia for 2 years I know what I'm taking about. I highly recommend this restaurant! Ask there about varaga enab. You would like it. It's something like Greece dolma, but in my opinion it's better!!!"
