The food is fantastic, worth large portions. Definitely a value for your money. We got two Triple Meat Plates, and with the amount of food, we could have just shared one!

Honestly one of my new favorite spots. The beef is cooked perfectly how I like it, with a little charr. The portions are very decent, they dont skimp on the meat, and the food is absolutely delicious. Easily one of the best shawarma I've had. Something different yet familiar.
