It may not be as authentic as a legit Persian restaurant, but I must say that Uncle Moe's does not disappoint every time we are here for our shawarma/kebab cravings.

Anyways, for Uncle Moe's: place is a bit small though there's al fresco area. Staff you'll feel a bit "uninterested" or maybe just shy people? Food is good but feels small portion. Their yogurt sauce is good and not that nakaka-hilo when you put too many na.
