I’ve had food from here a couple times now and honestly the food was very flavorful! Pretty sure this was the first time I’ve had shawarma and I was so happy to have come across this place. The staff inside have been friendly each time I’ve picked up food. The inside of the restaurant is also pretty. The grape leaves were also a solid choice. Definitely worth giving them a try!

We drive here from Marlborough at least once a week. Fattoush Salad with shaved meat is great. You can get healthy or fun options. Food is always made fresh. Fantastic. We bring all our friends and family here. Very relaxed atmosphere.

I came in hungry! I asked the very polite young man at the counter to recommend me something, because I had never been here before, but had heard great things! He said the chicken kabob wrap was a best seller. I can see why! I absolutely loved it. Fresh and hot! Some of the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. I will be back! Thank you so much for helping the girl who had no idea what to order and for the wonderful recommendation!

I went here last night and it was my first time, I didn’t even know what kind of food it was but I am very happy I went here. They are closed late which is nice if you’re a late eater. I asked for their best plate and got two kinds of meats with a ride of rice, hummus, salad. It was soo yummie, came out HOT. Flavor was on point. I will return again for sure. Thank you for your kind service.

Phenomenal falafel! I ordered the falafel plate with a side of home made spicy sauce. The gentleman who took my order was very nice and accommodating. This is the best falafel I've ever had! It was light and fried perfectly with a clean taste. The rice was seasoned peelrfectly and the Hummus was great too. I'm from Knoxville TN. Next time I'm visiting family in Worcester I'll come back!

Where do I begin? WOW! We ordered the Shawarma Lamb-Gyro plate and my taste buds are exploding! My husband ordered his with fries and Garlic sauce (heavenly!) The seasonings are delicious and flavorful. Authentic for sure. I almost skipped on the rice thinking it'd be bland..OOH NO! It was aahmazin and spicy. This will be our new spot. Not to mention the guys threw in a plate of Falafel for us, WOW! The best I've had anywhere here in MA. It was crunchy, soft in the middle and have I mentioned, DELICIOUS! Paired perfectly with the buttery smooth Hummus. Not to mention we noticed a genuine act of kindness from this establishment to another soul. A great place. 🙏🏼

We picked up a mixed platter from Golden Pockets. It was our first time. It was a lot of food and it was delicious, especially the pickled peppers/veggies. The only downside is that the rice is spicy (which I didn’t even anticipate considering it is an Iraqi spot and their rice isn’t usually spicy? 🌶️), and the food is definitely on the saltier side. I understand food needs salt to taste good, but everything in the platter was very salty. The pickled items were also salty so altogether it was too much salt. Just keep that in mind, but definitely worth trying! 😋

DON'T THINK!! JUST GO HERE TO EAT!! I watched the older brother dip the pita bread in the beef shawarma drippings before toasting it on the open flame and that was when I knew that I was in for a treat. My favorite are the combo wraps! Try beef and lamb or lamb and falafel. Ask for all the sauces, get the hot sauce on the side. A sign on the window said that they're looking to sell the business so this is YOUR chance to try their shawarmas while you can!

Mixed grill for 3 is the best! You get a very large amount of delicious food for a great price. Their falafel is the best around! I wish they sold the pickled carrots in a jar. We’ve also had the wraps and they are great too!
