Read moreSurprisingly, REALLY GOOD. The chicken was tender and juicy, the falafel flavorful and NOT dry-this restaurant can make falafel taste good so it won our hearts! The hot sauce was also a huge hit, we've haven't had hot sauce like that and used left overs for other meals. The hot sauce was amazing--if you like heat, get this---they should sell bottles. The quality seemed to be all fresh produce/meats and everything was well priced. My family and I are food snobs--we like to cook, eat and know good food--and were all very impressed with this place. FINALLY A GOOD HALAL AUTHENTIC place in Richmond area, without having to drive to Fremont. The owner was also very friendly and provided great customer service. A+ to this place. Don't judge the outside or name (could be a bit more creative but hey, its a start! ;p) But give it a shot. High hopes for this place to bloom inshallah. We will be providing more business here~highly...

Complimentary fruit-flavored water was a nice touch with the meal.
Wait time on the gyro wrap was a bit longer than I'd expect, since it wasn't too busy, but at least the wrap came out hot and fresh!
Pretty minor gripes overall, so I'll...
