Trusted by the Community
Been coming here for years. The garlic sauce alone is worth the drive, and the portions are massive. Real Palestinian street food, no shortcuts.
Best halal shawarma on the strip, hands down. Wish they had online ordering because I'd order way more often.
Generous portions and the falafel is crispy every time. Cash-only counter feel but the food makes up for it.
