The service was a little slow on this visit. It has been quicker on previous visits. The food tasted delicious but the sodium on the beef shawarma was a lot for me. The ambiance was great. The restaurant wasn’t full so it wasn’t really loud. The price is comparable to other similar types of places

Went on a Saturday afternoon after a Mercish show and the restaurant was half full. Once seated, waited for a server for about 15 minutes. He was nice and was able to give suggestions as it was our first time going. I ordered the BBQ chicken and he also informed me that it would take about 20 minutes to complete. While we waited, we had the humid platter, the dips were good, but was very underwhelmed by the naan bread. Was practically flavourless. The BBQ chicken was quite tasty. Flavourful and good value for money. The restaurant wasn’t too loud either wchich was nice.

I went on January 2025 and the falafel and tabbouleh was delicious; than I went on February 2025 and the same menu was really bad. They need consistency.
