“ I absolutely love this place. I’ve been coming here for years. The food is always fresh and full of flavor. My favorite thing to order is the Chicken Shawarma with Tabouli Salad. I will warm you in advance the menu is quite overwhelming on the first visit but just take your time and you will find what works for you. They has tons of options. In regards to beverages; they have a cute little refrigerator full of small batch & limited edition drinks. If you prefer a regular soft drinks I guess you’ll just have to wait until go somewhere else this place only serves the crowd favorite Rocky Mountain Soda company.

“ The food is delicious. Shout out the Donas in the back cooking these dishes. I usually get the Chicken shwarma with no pickles or tahini but chise the meat plate today. Their chicken is always so flavorful and moist. The stuffed grape leaves were hefty and the baklava was exquisite. ”
“ Best Mediterranean food in San Diego will definitely be back! Adam was great ”
“ Cute little spot with a covered and non covered patio. Had the vegetarian plate, super delicious. Babaganoush was the best I've ever had, nice charred flavor. Falafel was light, fluffy, and flavorful. ”
“ Definitely an authentic experience with wonderful food, a nice ambiance to the outdoor concept, and the authenticity of the owners aggressively wonderful style. The value for the amount of food was astounding, but the quality on top of it matched in every bite. I highly recommend supporting this local small business and show the owners some appreciation for their hard efforts. ”
“ Oh mercy, this was an insanely delicious meal! I had the Ultimate Manaeesh with fried eggplant, paired with a spinach and cheese pie. I was simply just not prepared for how good this would be, and I ate myself stupid for my lunch. The Manaeesh was an overload of pleasure on the palate, and several times I hit a new little flavor pocket that made me love it even more. I ate the WHOLE thing, mostly because I was headed to the airport and could not keep it, but I'm not really sure if I could have stopped myself either way. While the Manaeesh was a pleasure assault on the senses, the spinach and cheese pie was a much more gentle experience, with a lovely creaminess that was a perfect balance to the OMG level of the Manaeesh. This is up there with some of my all time favorite meals on the planet- it's that good. Don't skip this one, it's almost too good to be true. ”
“ Eddie does a great job in serving these delicious food. Loved every bite of the hummus , baba ganoush etc You should also try the cheese pie! ”
