The quality and taste of food have gone to a complete zero. Drinks were great and so was the hummus. But the steak kabob was cold and dry so was the rice. And the beef shawarma is no longer small pieces that taste like mint. Now is huge steak pieces with no mint and also and so was the dish cold.I didn’t send the food back because the whole staff looked overwhelmed and over worked. And I was starving because it took over and hour to get our entrees out. I miss their old cook this new cook is terrible. Do yourself a favor and skip this place because is not cheap

Outstanding shawarma wrap and falafel wraps. Try the watermelon salad but beware, they don’t warn of the spicy vinaigrette’s heat. Definitely will come back again. Fun yummy healthy eats.
