    It was the first time we tried Baba Saj. We were coming home from a long trip and knew there wasn’t anything at home. The food was delicious! The order was ready when we got there. We will definitely be back!

    Unfortunately not what we expected at all!!! we had just got done driving for about 7 hours and were waiting to eat there, we spent about $80 on the food, just about everything was beyond dry and cold, the young lady that took care of us was really nice and helpful with what to choose and all but once we got to the hotel and started eating there was a huge disappointment it was absolutely horrible. Will probably choose a different place next time.

    The food is nice however the service is very much shit. The cashier was preoccupied with texting on her phone and acted as if ordering was a bother. The atmosphere was not friendly and very off putting. If I could give a 0 out of 5 stars, I would!

    I’m sharing this feedback to help with improvement. The taste of the chicken and beef shawarma was good; however, the sandwiches (both the bread and the meat) were served cold. In addition, the chicken shawarma had too much mayonnaise, which overpowered the flavor of the meat. Serving the sandwiches hot and using less sauce would greatly improve the overall experience. On a positive note, the French fries were really delicious.

    Interesting place. Good food different type of food. That’s what I’d say. I liked it and it was a step into a different culture which I liked a lot. It’s always exciting to see how different diverse people live and the way they are. The shawarma was really good too. Although I don’t like the yogurtplain drink at all.
