The food was amazing! We had the chicken and lamb bowl, some wings, fries, and pita bread. The owner was very friendly and he gave us some Baklava to try; it was delicious!!! This was our first time trying Arabic food, and we will definitely come back when visiting Gainesville, FL.

I’ve ordered online as well as in person. While dining in person I met the owner, Omar, and he was exceptional. The service was amazing and the rice bowl was even better. The lamb is divine.

Stopped by here and ordered 4 salads- falafel, lamb gyro, and chicken with white salad. It was very fresh and tasty. Everyone enjoyed their meal and all proteins were nicely seasoned. You order at the kiosk. It was one man (I suspect- the owner) who was preparing the food, so it took a little while but he was very friendly and gave us a free dessert and an extra falafel for the wait. Very kind gentleman who doesn’t speak much English. Happy to support this place.

5 pm. on a Thursday and got to enjoy a quick, quiet meal here. The cook who I believe is the owner was teaching his son how to do everything was so heartwarming. He even took the time to show us how to order the food. Really great place.

College eat in or take out. We ordered take out because it 2330 already and we still had an hour long drive home. However, anyone that brings healthy delicious food to our students and faculty, they our vote. Omar, the owner was great, friendly and welcoming. We wish him the best in his business, so that we can have more of this delicious food.

I’ve been here a few times already and each time I go the food is consistently flavorful, filling, and delicious. I’ve gotten the gyros, platters, and mango lassi and all of them have hit the spot every time. The workers and owner are so sweet and kind. One time they even gave us an extra plate to take home when we came at 2am and they were closing down for the night. My favorite spot on campus for sure.
