Description

Founder Freddy Zeideia transitioned the business from a local food truck into a permanent restaurant just off the Broadway train station. Under walls decorated with touching artwork, the kitchen serves up seasoned beef shawarma, kebab sandwiches topped with pickled onions, and mixed cold platters of dips and kofta. Plates are notoriously generous—often arriving with extra warm pita—and they even sell falafel packs to cook yourself.
