“ Very friendly, yummy food! Quiet and nice establishment as well. Ordered the kebab wrap and it was absolutely delicious, so were the fries! Would definitely come back here any time and try new food. ”
“ This is probably the most authentic-tasting shawarma place I could find in the Columbus area so far. It isn't in the best location compared to where I am, otherwise I could eat it routinely. When I first started coming here, the place looked a little rough but they have since made many renovations so they must be doing well. The prices have been creeping up every so often that it is getting to a point where the taste might not be financially worth it. The regular shawarma now is $13 and the shawarma plate is $21. The shawarma plate is a huge portion, however. I didn't take a star away for any of that because I understand inflation is affecting pricing everywhere. I took one star away because, over the several years that I have been coming here, they have NEVER had the food ready within the time frame they gave. I always arrive at the end of the time and still wait at least ten minutes in the store for the food to be ready. One minor note is that they don't always consistently put utensils in the bag so if you really need them make sure you double-check. ”
“ This is the most outstanding Middle Eastern food that I have in Columbus, and I've tried many of them! We started with hummus and falafel which are usually pretty good indicators of how good a Middle Eastern restaurant is. We were not disappointed as both were excellent and very delicious. For lunch we had kefta wraps and fries, which were also phenomenal. The service was great and everyone was very kind and welcoming. Also very helpful and patient with the scannable menu. The ambiance is fine, very basic with superior food and service. It was nice to see lots of families and groups dining. Prices were reasonable too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ”
“ Tasty, affordable and always fresh food. They are always super friendly and make the food to order. Great place for a quick middle eastern fix, I highly recommend this place! ”
“ I ordered online from the Line Skipping website and came to pick up. You can pay online with card or pay when you get there with cash. Not busy inside at all. One woman was in line in front of me waiting for her pickup order. I had ordered the chicken shawarma platter with rice and fries. When I got to the counter, the staff member told me that it already comes with rice and hummus and that I can always substitute if needed. The online ordering didn't say anything about what the platter came with. The food was alright. The rice was good, but the chicken was dry, as other yelpers said. It did come with a sauce on the side which made the chicken taste a lot better. The fries were bland. Not seasoned enough. Generous amount, imo but I know other Yelpers say the prices have gone up here. The lady in front of me had gotten falafel, so I'd come back and try that or other stuff from the menu. ”
