EXTREMELY friendly and accommodating! Their food is very fresh and very delicious! We will be returning very soon!
Great food. Friendly service. Informal. Fabulous "Meza platter ". The owner is warm, friendly, and often there.
Food was amazing! Great service, too. Restaurant is in an easily accessible location. I can't believe I didn't know about this place until recently!
I can clearly say "Love this place!" So far, everything I had from this place was delicious. Since I tasted their house made hummus, I never buy packaged one from a grocery store. The restaurant is clean with welcoming atmosphere and friendly waiters. Strongly recommended for a casual meal.
Stopped over during a road trip for a quick bite to eat. Restaurant located in a strip mall. Great and fast service. Food was delicious. Loved the Shish Kufta plate with fresh tomatoes. Reasonable price. Taking a star off due to the bathroom not being clean. Food was good and service was good.
You order at the kiosk, pay, and wait. I came in around 2:30PM. I came here to get something to eat before checking into my hotel. I wanted it to-go though because I had some work to do. The menu is straightforward. I ordered a meat shawarma wrap combo. You can select a soda but I opted for a bottled water. I try to not eat or drink at the airport or on the plane - to reduce the number of times I might need to use the restroom. I was hungry and was looking forward to a big meal. The meat (beef and lamb) was very good, very flavorful and juicy. The pickled vegetables were good, but it saturated the wrap thus made the meal pretty messy. The bag that it came in had a hole from the pickled vegetable juices. The fries were seasoned and wasn't greasy or over cooked. Super affordable.
The food was great. We got Combo for 2 (Tawook, kafta, falafel, hummus, rice, pita bread, salad). The meat was fresh, full of flavor and grilled into perfection. Hummus and garlic sauce were really good too.
Nate and I were desperate for a quick dinner spot before heading to our niece's karate class in the area recently - luckily we found Zamaan Cafe and remembered eating at Bewon, the Korean restaurant next door years ago. The cafe was brightly lit with a couple of groups inside enjoying dinner. They were doing quite a bit of takeout, so we ordered and sat down at a booth to wait. I got the meat shawarma wrap and a cup of lentil soup, and Nate ordered the chicken shawarma wrap combo, which comes with a fountain drink and fries. The food was pretty quick to come out, and I was instantly impressed with the fries. They looked delicious and not like the typical steak fries that you usually get at Mediterranean restaurants. They were almost beer battered and super crispy on the outside, with tender potatoey insides. Perfection! The wraps were a little small and I found the pita to be a bit tough, but the flavors were good and the meat was pretty tender. The lentil soup was hot and comforting. I really liked it and would get it again. I really appreciated that we were brought a cup of water without having to ask. I'd stop here again in the future if we're in the area, but I might order online ahead of time.
