      Notes:
      1) shares a parking lot with the local business here
      2) I have only seen 1 person working so may take some time to order and make but it's still pretty fast
      3) can order online for pickup and delivery but I haven't tried it

      Pros:
      1) pretty good food
      2) service was great, friendly and fast
      3) food truck, no seating but does have a trash can if you wanna eat there

      Cons:
      1) some food was not the taste I was expecting
      2) one person serving and preparing food but still fast service
      3) not a lot of parking and no seating

      Rating: 4/5

      I think this place is pretty nice. The worker was really nice in getting the order and also in making it. It was pretty fast and I couldn't believe that he was working alone to serve me and 2 other customers.

      The food is pretty good. I got 4 dishes to try: grape leaves appetizer, lamb gyro Italian shawarma, chicken zinger loaded fries, and chicken shawarma arabi. The grape leaves were sour and were not my favorite. Maybe it's made this way but I didn't enjoy it. The lamb gyro Italian shawarma was really good. My favorite I think because it's basically a quesadilla. The loaded fries with the chicken zinger was also good. Classic loaded fries style. I think the cheese sauce reminded me of cheese wiz so I didn't enjoy that as much but the other flavors covered it. The chicken zinger is fried chicken and it's good. Juicy, not too much batter. The chicken shawarma arabi was pretty good. The chicken shawarma was good and the arabi is just a burrito but cut into pieces. Less flavor than the Italian shawarma I think. All of the dishes had fries which were good. Pretty classic and reminded me of the ones you get from the market. The vegetable medley was cooked in a sour sauce which was not my cup of tea. I didn't enjoy it.

      Overall, it's a pretty good new place in BR. I would definitely try it if you're in the area.

      Grape leaves: 1/5 way too sour for me, inside was good tho. It was also cold
      Lamb gyro Italian Shawarma: 5/5 my favorite, cheesy and flavorful
      Chicken zinger loaded fries: 4.5/5 tasted like normal loaded fries with fried chicken but the cheese whiz was what I had to detract for
      Chicken shawarma arabi: 5/5 good, decent flavor
      Fries (that come with the meals): 3/5 pretty standard fries
      Sauce: 5/5 not sure what that white sauce is but it's really good, goes well with the whole dish
      Vegetable medley: 3/5 pretty sour as well but not as bad as the grape leaves. Can still taste the different veggies. The veggies also aren't cooked I don't think but that's not an issue for me.

      This was so bad. I got the beef kofta wrap and the beef was cooked so long it was the texture of a dog chew. I couldn't eat it. It went in the trash. My boyfriend ordered a bowl and they messed up his order and gave him something totally different. The fries were cold and tasted like they had been sitting for hours and were microwaved for 15 seconds prior to being put in the to go box. Don't bother with this place.

      I ordered the chicken shawarma warabi, it came with fries and vegetables on the side. Everything was good and fresh. This was my first time ordering here will order again!

      Delicious, big portions, and the white sauce and rice is to die for. One of my favorite spots for mediterranean/greek! The only thing i would critique is the fries. Must Try

      Just had this delivered to the house and it was absolutely fantastic. Everything was hot and fresh and was a nice change up from your typical DoorDash restaurant.
