" Stopped in for a late lunch and the shawarma wrap was excellent. The flavors were well balanced and the meat was tender. I was particularly impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant. I did notice the seating was limited and it got a bit crowded. Overall, very pleased with the experience and will return for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious shawarma and wonderful service, I will keep coming back for this deliciousness! The variety of toppings available blew me away, and everything we tried was fresh and well-prepared. The outdoor seating is cozy and a nice place to relax with a meal. This is a must-try for anyone in the area looking for good Middle Eastern fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited for lunch and was excited to try their highly rated shawarma. Honestly, it didn’t live up to the hype. The flavors were too mild, and while I enjoyed the toppings, the meat left something to be desired. I found the service to be alright but not outstanding. I probably won’t rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is one of my favorite places in the DC area! The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the food is consistently delicious. I usually go for the meat shawarma bowl, which comes loaded with fresh ingredients! The staff is always nice, making it a great place to grab a quick, satisfying meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent, I wouldn’t say it impressed me. The shawarma tasted pretty standard, and the service left something to be desired. I didn’t feel very welcomed, and the atmosphere was also lacking a bit. I might give it one more try, but not at the top of my list right now. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try the falafel wrap, which came highly recommended. It was decent, but I've had better elsewhere. The service was friendly enough, but I waited longer than expected for my food. I’m curious about their shawarma so might give that a go someday. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic experience! The owner is very friendly and passionate about his food and it shows! The shawarma was perfectly seasoned and generous with toppings. The outdoor seating area was lovely, it made for a perfect lunch spot. Will definitely be returning next week! " (*Curated Review*)
