    My gyro was so delicious!!! Service was fast and friendly. This downtown Oakland location closed for good shortly after I had my first meal from them, so I am quite sad about that.

    I called in to order to-go, you can order by phone, online, or in person. I ordered a falafel veggie platter, they said it'd take 10-15 minutes maximum to be ready and the order was ready when I arrived. The platter came with tahini sauce, muttabal, 3 dolma (stuffed grape leaves), 6 falafels, and tabouleh. There was one thin corner of pita bread under the falafel, and 4 thick corners/pieces of pita bread provided on the side. I'm not a fan of parsley so I didn't like the tabouleh (which is typical for me) but the rest of it was good; I thought the tahini sauce, muttabal, and falafel were all tasty and well-seasoned. My partner had gotten the chicken shawerma plate and they said theirs was quite good as well.

    CONSISTENTLY DELICIOUS! This is my preferred falafel spot. The meat is good quality, the rice is wonderful, and the hummus is creamy and so flavorful. The falafel is crunchy and not oily and sooo good!

    This place packs delicious flavor in their food. I recommend getting the chicken shawarma plate. The sides are also really good. The service is great and the people are friendly. We got it to go but and it was prepared pretty quickly. I will definitely come back to try out their other items. The falafel and the side salad is also really good. I'd definitely recommend this place to others looking for delicious and nutritious food!
