All of their Manakeesh and Wraps are delicious ???????? don't miss the baklava too. Plus, you have to try their Nutella crepe , which you can order from the smoothies shack ????????

Daniel Wolf

Really nice vibe, and a good spot to relax, do some work, or casually catch up with friends. Great pastries .

Timur Rustamov

Manakeeshs are da bomb with very generous amount of filling. I was kinda surprised they serve the hummus without bread , but their $1 plainbreads straight from the oven make you forget about everything

Sophia H

tawook manakeesh is one of their most popular dishes, and it's pretty good. but get a side of veggies with it because by itself (just chicken and sauce), it'll taste kind of bland and too chicken-y

Diana Brody

$3 smoothie Tuesday's! This one was delicious with 2x mango , strawberry , and pineapple .

Morgan Hugo

Friendly staff , open late , comfy chairs and pretty decor, and tasty food!

Samantha Hill

The Chicken Shawarma is amazing on fresh baked pita bread . Definitely get the Baklava for dessert !

Sophia H

I don't like baklavas , since they're too sweet for me, but I decided to try one here, and it was actually pretty good. It tasted fresher, softer, and more delicate than others I've had

Qadir Trekker

I truly enjoyed the ambiance and delicious food. You feel welcomed and entertained by the character in the design.
