I used a Nift certificate to get take-out lunch for my wife and me. We got a falafel hummus bowl (which comes with two pitas) and a chicken shawarma entree (which comes with couscous and a salad). Overall, the experience was excellent. From the time I walked in and placed my order to leaving with it was only 10 minutes and the Nift certificate was handled easily.

The falafel was delicious - perfectly cooked and flavorful and the hummus was wonderfully creamy with just the right amount of tahini. It was WAY better than any store-bought hummus I've ever had. The pitas were small in diameter but thick, flavorful, and chewy, perfect for dipping into the hummus. The shawarma was also excellent and, when I asked if it was spicy (it was not) I was offered a small side cup of harissa which added just the right amount of heat. And the couscous was the best I've ever had - flavored with sauteed onion and spices. Having never been here, I was expecting a usual green salad but the herb salad is mostly parsley with some mint leaves, a few tomatoes, and a bit of red onion. Next time I come, I'll see if a more conventional salad could be substituted.

The service was friendly and helpful and, if my wife had been with me, we would probably have eaten on the patio. BTW, plenty of metered parking is right next to the Chestnut Hilll Avenue location.

My only nitpick is that the pricing seems to be the same for lunch or dinner and the amount of the main course (the shawarma and falafel (four smallish balls)) could be upped a bit at the price or the lunchtime pricing could be reduced a bit. But, I guess it's Brookline so that might explain it. Overall, though, for us, this was a find and we'll certainly be back.
