Ok here we go! I love this place ok but they are not consistent and I don't like that! I'm a Fattoush Salad addict I know how it should be made i even know how to make the dressing at home. On March the 5th 2018 around 8:00pm I stop here with my friend whom I am trying to convince that this place is better than Burcherest so she orders a chicken shwarma and I get my usual my Fattoush Salad and lately I been getting the Gyro it's delicious. Well this time my salad was made with regular lettuce uhmmm wait a Fattoush Salad is not made with regular Lettuce it's made with Romaine lettuce like the one I ordered through Uber Eats a few days ago! I felt I should have been told they are using regular lettuce and give me a choice if I want that or not because it's a big difference! Romaine holds up better to the dressing than regular lettuce so I get all the way home open my food and remind you I haven't eaten or drank anything all day and to open my salad and see this regular Lettuce and not Romaine was a great disappointment! My lettuce became wilted after 5 or 10 minutes of having the dressing on it, not good at all. I really hope my friend enjoyed her chicken shwarma because I hated my salad. Y'all got to stay consistent this ain't fair when I'm paying the price you ask for and you give me something I'm not use to having. You are going to have a great loss of customers like that and I'm going to be one of them! Please fix the problem you got great food and a great concept just keep the food the same EVERY TIME!

TLDR: Incredibly friendly business owner whipped me up a delicious and handsomely priced lunch today. This place is like a Chipotle of Shwarma. Pick your protein, pick your presentation method (wrap, bowl, etc.) and then pick all of your toppings. I loaded my wrap up today with beets, feta, chickpeas, pickled turnips, tomatoes, and cucumbers. So yum! If I had to comment on just one thing, I'd be the food quality. This is healthy, non-greasy, clean food that's full of flavor. If you're coming from shwarma like Bucharest, you'll know their food generally drips oil. This isn't that, at all, without sacrificing flavor. Delicious! Oh, and have the lentil soup. It's among the best I've ever had. -NG

Good food, pretty quick, very fair prices. What more could you want? Drive here and shove shawarma in your face. Mostly take-out only, they've got a tiny little bar at the window you can kinda sit at if you were so inclined.

First day open, came to try this place out. Started off with one of the best lentil soups I've had in a very long time. Had a chicken shawarma sandwich with shawarma fries! I also ordered some falafel and they were awesome.

Imagine creating your own bowl, pita, or burrito with fresh, mouthwatering toppings like beets, feta, chickpeas, and pickles, all expertly combined to create a dish that is both fulfilling and healthy. Their tagline could very well be: "Eat well, feel great." The first five toppings are included in each creation, with the option to add more for just fifty cents each, ensuring that your meal is customized to your liking without breaking the bank.

The menu also shines with its Detroit Fresh Deli Subs, where flavors burst in every bite. The Chicken Shawarma Wrap, made with marinated charbroiled chicken, is a must-try, especially with a side of their signature garlic sauce. Plus, many options are available for vegans and vegetarians, ensuring that everyone can find something delectable.

Don't just take my word for it; customers rave about their experiences. A satisfied diner remarked on the inclusion of healthy, non-greasy ingredients, making their meal an explosion of flavor rather than an oily affair.
