  I wandered in on a whim and left wondering why it took me this long to discover this gem. The food is awesome: fresh, flavorful, and made with the kind of care you can actually taste. The hummus alone is worth the trip. Silky, perfectly seasoned, and honestly a flavor profile that reminded me of my favorite place in Maryland years ago. And the desserts! I haven't had a pistachio baklava in years and it was awesome. I'm glad that I know have a go to place when I get those cravings. The staff are warm and welcoming, the vibe is casual and relaxing, and the portions are generous in that wonderful way where you insist you're done and then somehow keep eating. If you haven't been yet, consider this your sign. Your taste buds will thank you.

  Had a great experience at this Mediterranean restaurant. They offer a huge variety of dishes, and the selection of sweets is especially impressive. Everything tasted very authentic and full of flavor. The service was amazing too — the staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a great place if you want to enjoy authentic Mediterranean food and desserts.

  I used to come here at least once a week and every single weekend but no longer interested. They got rid of the tahini salad. THE Tahini Salad !!! . and for some reason they jumped on “shrinkflation” and lowered their portions immensely with elementary school lunch trays .. Honestly , great idea for the kids, but it’s a no for adults . 👎

  Cashier took the wrong order ordered mix kufta platter. They gave me just chicken . Given the wrong order. Prep table would not correct the order. 0 price difference over seasoned chicken, weird taste in the end asked for extra hot sauce. The person made a face like I asked for extra food for free. Ordered at 5:25. Was served at 6 pm. 3 people who ordered after me at the register received their orders first. Very bad experience

  Update: Feb 2026 As all of the previous regular customers now know, they have increased prices, substantially decreased portions and who knows what they're doing with this new packaging. I'm now updating to one star and hopefully someone in charge reads my honest review and thinks about some changes. I went back and got my regular meal again and if you read my review below you know that being an athlete, I have to weigh out my meal to hit my macros. So, I have tons of data of showing how the portions have gotten smaller. For example, my normal meal consists of rice and shawarma meat. Before all these changes, I would average around 300 g of rice and about 150 g of meat. Here is what I weighed out with their new packaging (to go containers) Rice = 211 grams Shawarma meat = 82 grams As you can tell, the portions have decreased substantially. This is so incredibly frustrating because I love the food and they have been so consistent for so many years until just recently. Someone in charge needs to fix this ASAP. --------------------------------------------- I really need the owners/operators to hear this message regarding their new serving trays and to go containers made out of plastic/cardboard. They are absolutely horrible and you should go back to using normal plates and the previous to go containers. Let's back up so I can explain some things. Between the three locations, I have been coming here for many years. In fact, I probably come here 30 to 40 times a year (seriously). As a result, I know what to expect and for the most part, things have been pretty consistent until just recently when they decided to change how they serve the food. Basically, they increased the prices and lowered the portion sizes. How do I know this? Well let me tell you. Being an athlete and being in fitness, I am on a macro based food plan where I have to weigh out all of my food to hit my daily macros (IYKYK). As a result, I have had to weigh out my entrees here for multiple years so I have data going back for well over a year showing me how many grams of meat and rice I normally get. In the past, the portion sizes stayed pretty consistent until recently. Since they have changed to these cardboard containers and to-go boxes, the portion sizes have gone extremely down. The meat portions are down 20 to 40% while the rice portions are down 20 to 40% also. I only know this because as I said earlier, I have had to weigh out my food since I am on a macro based food plan. So I have the data of weighing out my Jerusalem bakery entrees going back well over a year. I am really, really disappointed in how they are doing this. Increasing prices and lowering portions is a recipe for disaster, especially for your regulars like me. I'm sure many of your regulars have also noticed this. I really hope that management /decision makers see this and reverse back to the old way. If you look at the recent reviews, there are other people mentioning the same thing. Don't get me wrong, the food is still very good and taste the same high quality but increasing prices while also decreasing portion sizes is very frustrating. The fast and easy fixed is to just reverse this whole cardboard /lunch tray, serving trays and go back to the old ways. Please. Respectfully Thanks
