Let me first start by saying that it’s difficult for me to write this review since I am a guide for the enjoyment of helping build support for local businesses.
I was searching for some local Mediterranean food and after a Google search, decided on this one. When I pulled up there was a sign which read, “GRAND OPENING”, sadly the experience was anything except grand. The pita bread was fantastic and the Hummus was okay, but I do not recommend the Chicken Shawarma plate. The chicken was VERY dry and had an unpleasant sweet type glaze. They only served me 4 pieces of Pita bread with a LARGE order of hummus, and when I asked for more, appeared apprehensive to refill. I just had higher expectations for the high cost… I dined with a friend and the meal was $55.00 for the two of us. In closing, the restaurant left a lasting impression on me when I made use of its “facilities” and there was no TP; it is NOT a good feeling being stranded with no help. Overall, I give this review 2 stars, and say proceed...

I ordered chicken shawarma fries to go, but despite placing my order before several others, I watched three people who came in after me get their food first. By the time the fourth person was served, I had completely lost my appetite and asked for a refund.
Even if my order genuinely took longer to prepare — which seems unlikely, especially since the person after me ordered something similar — some communication would’ve gone a long way. A simple “we’re running behind” or “your order’s almost ready” would’ve made a difference. They voided my order and I just left
I’d rather make the 30-minute drive to Tempe than deal with service...
Read moreUndersized portions. I've literally had Iraqi Schwarma when I was deployed. This is good but not great.
The baba ganoush was a large size order and I barely had any, look at the small portion. $9 for this? The lamb shank was pretty good. The rice was kind of bland, not aromatic and flavorful as expected. The gyro meat, whole actually lamb and beef, was also a small portion for $18 platter.
Skip, pass, don't bother. For the price you can do better. I'd rather eat at Cava, Pita Jungle or Khyber Palace or Hilal Grill. About the same price, larger servings and...
