This is my second time here and the service is so good. The staff is always so nice and answer your questions. Tonight im trying the new tikka masala bowl and i cant wait.

Food was great. I only ask that the beef get warmed up a little bit more. Our wraps were warm and not hot enough so you could feel the grease when you're chewing it. Otherwise, the flavour was incredible. Thanks for the free Churros which was kind of random coming from a Shawarma place. Definitely going to check out the other locations. Cheers!

Their food is good hands down. That freshly baked Saj bread tastes heavenly and their protein is actually seasoned and not dry unlike some other shawarma places. Just need to work on portioning. If you are ordering the MacnCheese know it’s not a full meal especially at the price it’s sold. Really nice atmosphere at this location with background music and awesome customer service. Staff are super nice and welcoming. Definitely try it out

It was our first time to try their food and everything was absolutely good!!!! The staff was so confident about their food and he was 100% right. We will definitely come back and can't wait to eat their fresh saj bread again! Thank you for making such a good food👍❤

Best Shawarma ever!! They make the wrap fresh, meaning they take the dough, roll it out and back it right in front of you. Then they all the toppings, which include the choice of usual proteins, fresh and pickled veggies. BUT the part is they have an option to add french fries to your wrap!! Wow!! What a difference!! You must try it.

I live in NY and I eat a lot of similar foods. Not sure if that’s why, but this wasn’t good to me. I thought it lacked flavor. However, their service was excellent. They’re super nice and the presentation was nice. The restaurant is clean too. For that alone, I would recommend.

The halloumi sticks were okay lacked some flavour. The shawarma bowls were also okay, the bowls lacked meat only had a few pieces which was disappointing.

It was quite busy and he took his time while cashing us out to explain and suggest us some great options. Kudos to the team, the food was made fast as well and it was so tasty.

I can understand the hype given all the cool and consistent branding but food was lacking to say the least. The shawarma doesn t taste good and it felt undercooked. The saj bread was thick, and gummy/dense. Not how saj wraps should be. We couldn t finish the wraps and when we got home we felt sick.
