“The service is warm and they let you build your plate, which is the move. The execution is wildly split — the fried chicken lands for some, the shawarma is a question mark, and the seasoning is a fight reviewers keep losing.”

“The chicken and rice are genuinely good—generous portions, flavors that land. The service is a mess, and the falafel is dry enough to need an apology.”
