Description



Inside a contemporary space styled with reclaimed wood accents and exposed brick, the restaurant serves Middle Eastern plates like a rich hummus topped with sautéed mushrooms and pine nuts, and a popular frozen mint lemonade. Though it claims to be the home of the original tableside shawarma, some diners note the spit size has decreased. Guests should also expect it to be slightly overpriced with occasionally mixed service.
