Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the chicken dishes, from the chicken kebab and chicken shawarma to the chicken adana pita sandwich, describing the meat as juicy and the portions as generous. Close behind are the hummus, called the smoothest some have had, along with a lamb plate with sides like Turkish eggplant and chickpeas and spinach, and a Greek salad. Many mention friendly, quick service during the lunch rush and a space they call clean. The recurring complaint is about billing: one reviewer says the charged total ran above the menu board price and a 4% credit card surcharge was added without being made clear. That reviewer also found the chicken dry, the tabouli extremely salty and the hummus sour. Another reviewer was bothered by plastic waste, with unrequested containers and utensils bagged for a dine-in meal. Several note the restaurant is hard to spot, tucked in an alley under scaffolding. Many close their visits with a free piece of baklava handed over at the end.

“I have loved this restaurant since the moment my boyfriend took me here. The best hummus ever and Joe recommended the baklava which has become a craving whenever I need some extra happiness. Love my dinners here and so happy to have experienced such great hospitality from Joe.”

“Stayed at the hotel across the street. So glad I tried this place. Fresh, delicious, authentic. Lamb was fantastic. Recommend the combo meat plate. It came with a small piece of baklava.”

“Fantastic service & beautiful restaurant! I had the spicy chicken and it was delicious! I hope the city takes the scaffolding down as this hidden gem would get more attention. People told me the work was completed 6 months ago.”
- Heidi A.
“The hummus and Greek salad were delicious, but I was shocked to see how much plastic waste my small meal generated. Even though I said I would dine in, they put my side dishes in a plastic take-out bag, together with forks and knives for TWO people, as well as no fewer than SIX plastic containers of dip and one of baklava, none of which I had asked for.”
