I recently visited this establishment and had a rather uncomfortable experience due to the behavior of one of the staff members. There was an individual who seemed overly eager to make personal connections with customers, asking intrusive questions and acting in an overly familiar manner. While it may have been intended as friendliness, it felt forced and awkward, especially when trying to maintain a more transactional relationship.
It’s important for businesses to understand that customers are there to shop and complete their transactions, not to engage in personal conversations.

Since leaving there I have truly missed the amazing flavors that shawarma and toum have to offer. Thanks to someone’s random TikTok I found this place.

If you want middle eastern style food that is affordable and delicious this...
