"After passing this place by for years, I finally stopped by. On opening the door, the fragrance of roasting meat, a melange of spices, and bright herbs immediately told me that it had been a mistake to wait this long to try this place. The owner greeted me right away, offering up the latest lunch specials and walking me through each one. I opted for the shawarma combo plate, which comes with both chicken and beef/lamb shawarma, rice, pita, salad, tahini, and pickles

In short, it was amazing. Though I have a large appetite, this plate could have easily fed me for two meals, but I ate it in one. For dessert, a piece of baklava drizzled with rose water syrup that was every bit as delicate, bright, clear, and floral as one could ever want."
