“ The best falafel I have ever had. The food was soooo good. My son and I shared a chicken kebab, Greek salad and Mediterranean platter followed by Turkish coffee and baklava. The owner came out and we raved over the food. She said she cooks for the restaurant like she cooks at home. It is pricier than other similar restaurants but the quality of the food is higher and is well worth it. ”
