    Second day in a row! I love the beef kabob plate! But from the other reviews my mediterranean pallid may be lacking since I like it so far!?!

    Everyone is right. This place is hit or miss, but falafel and hot sauce are excellent and the $7.99 lunch special is enough food for lunch and a half.

    7.99 lunch special between 11-3 PM. Great deal, easily shared with another person who is as poor as you.

    The food is pretty good on its own, but their hot sauce bumps it up significantly.

    Lebanese spinach pies and thin, herbed flatbread called mankouchi are stand-outs. Read more

    Absolutely rude service, over priced schawarma sandwiches, and overall non-appealing atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and go to Benjeyhuda in the loop

    Kabop sandwich does not look like a sandwich nor a kabop. Avoid.
