• 4/28/23The tastiest beef shawarma in town! Grilled chicken was on point. Delicious spices on it and perfectly done.

• 10/26/23Lamb chops were nothing like in the picture! They were super thin, tough, and overcooked - VERY disappointing! The falafel was hard & fried for much too long! The outside was very dark brown (not golden) and the inside was dry and tasteless! I threw them out. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything good for the price (quality lamb chops are usually twice the price at other restaurants on DoorDash). I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone!

• 9/20/25For those who have never eaten in Istanbul, Berlin, or Tel Aviv, this experience may fall short. The shawarma meat is dry. The pita (lavash) is not bad—one of the better ones I’ve had recently—but it lacks the crisp, baked texture that would make it truly stand out.
The sauce is poor, and while the kofta could have been a highlight, it was made from chicken breast rather than thigh meat or a whole-chicken blend. The mixture itself was neither pounded nor blended properly, resulting in an uneven texture.
As for the falafel—🤦♂️—overfrozen and disappointing.

• 1/16/26The food is old and reheated and the chicken is like rubber. The rice also taste old. I often eat at this place so I know this is old food.
