This place is a hole in the wall middle eastern halal place in OB. We just happened to be in the area and ended up going there for dinner. Food was fresh and quick and very tasty and authentic. The egg rolls were definitely the rockstars of the meal. Will definitely come again

We ordered gyro wrap, beef wrap and some falafel. Gyro wrap was 80% fill with lettuce, barely any meat in it. Extremely dry. Beef wrap was average, but very dry as well. Falafel was average. Service was okay.

This place was awesome!! We came on a Tuesday evening and were able to order super quickly. Food was ready in 10-15 minutes and was warm and delicious! All their wraps/burritos were huge!! There are a few tables inside to sit at, and a couple on the sidewalk. Chicken shawarma wrap - super fresh and tasty! Came inside a large pita with lettuce and tomato too. California burrito - had rice inside and was even heftier than the shawarma wrap! Super yummy and could even be 2 meals given the size of it. Would highly recommend this spot and am looking forward to going back!

What an awesome place. Quaint but welcoming, the staff is very friendly and they keep things simple inside. I got the combo plate and it is definitely a hearty portion. Everyone has described the different components so I'll forgo that bit, but the best part is the flavor of every individual bite. The rice underneath is the perfect vehicle for carrying the flavors. The plating is a beautifully arranged personal buffet of succulence. Each accompaniment pairs with the protein of choice and the laffa acts as nice little scoop. Even though the flavors are light, this truly has the filling quality of the comfort food I enjoyed in the Middle East. Will definitely be back!

Nathan, thank you! "A beautifully arranged personal buffet of succulence" might be the best description of our combo plate we've ever read, and I'll make sure the kitchen hears it. So glad the rice and laffa did their job carrying every bite, and that it brought back the comfort food you loved in the Middle East. Can't wait to have you back!

I ordered the chicken shawarma and it was huge. I've been here before but it has been awhile. Shawarma is always packed with enough protein and veggies. Comes with a side of cucumber salad in a vinaigrette. Man who took my order was very pleasant and food came out right away. Plenty of seating inside and just minutes from the beach. I forgot to mention the fries were yummy!

We came here late on a Sunday night. I was afraid I would be too late to be served as they were closing in about 20 mins. However they still let me order. I got the falafel pita wrap as I don't eat meat so it was awesome they had some vegetarian options. Now I am not a big fan of Mediterranean food so I wasn't expecting much. When I got my wrap the first thing I noticed was how fresh it was. Everything was just made. This wrap was HUGE! I had to split it with my husband! The falafel was delicious, the veggies inside were fresh, and the pita was perfectly grilled. Its pretty small inside so I think most order to go, but you definitely can eat there as well. The owner (I'm assuming) was super kind, even gave me a free extra sauce to try. The woman and the front that took my order was ok, not the most enthusiastic but helped me decide what to get. The only thing I'd do different next time is order fries with it! Otherwise, it was perfect meal. If you're ever in the area I highly recommend trying this place out. Or if you're not and you're just craving some Mediterranean food, I definitely recommend coming here! Also perfect for vegetarian likes me:)

Hi Holly! Thank you for such a thorough review. We're so glad we could still serve you on a late Sunday night, and it means a lot that the falafel wrap won you over even as a not-so-big Mediterranean fan. Great call on the fries for next time! Looking forward to serving you again soon.

This is easily one of the most authentic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean spots in town, and everything is super fresh. The staff is really friendly, the prices are fair, and the whole place has a great vibe. They cook everything from scratch, and you can definitely tell in the quality. Cheap cold beers and really good VEGAN options
