Great food, large portions & amazingly-friendly workers. Imad/Emad (sorry if I got your name wrong) is so kind & friendly! I tried the chicken shawarma & can't wait to try other things next time! The chili sauce, tahini & garlic sauce are impeccable! Only after I ordered did I realize it's cash-only. Imad wanted to give the meal on the house since I only had a card & genuinely had no idea as it's my first time patronizing this restaurant, but I Zelled him the total because they work hard & deserve to get paid. Thank you for your hospitality sir! Please support this local business. Good food & friendly workers, what more can you ask for?
