Great food - best turkish coffee
My wife and I love Middle Eastern food and this place did not disappoint. We both had the falafel with rice and it was very tasty. While waiting (eating in is not an option right now sadly) I had a turkish coffee. It was one of the best coffees I have had - very strong, rich, full of flavor and sweetened about right. My wife had the mint tea and while it tasted good it was very "leafy". We are both baklava addicts so bought some. Flavor was great but we did not like the style and prefer the more traditional baklava with sheets of filo rather than shredded filo. Service was very friendly and fairly quick. We will come back here to eat and recommend it to others.

Very friendly and food was geat
We got a gyro and a pita and both were really good. Service was friendly and efficient. You order and pay first, and they bring your food out. Next to OSU with windows to watch the activity. We did have trouble finding a parking spot because the side streets were full and we didn't have change for the meters just down the street. I thought the prices were a little high, although you did get a lot of food.

Satisfying and filling
This is my go go place for gyro type sandwich. Best in town for that. Often get it with the rice but makes it a substantial lunch sandwich. Always quick and friendly.

Best and most authentic Arabic food yet!
This is apparently a local, actual Arabic family owned restaurant. I’ve been to Arabic restaurants all over the country and yes, the Middle East. The food here had great portions and was delicious! The falafel, gyro, and schwarma cannot be beat! We will eat there at least once a week if I have any say about it. To top it off, the owner and his family give such genuine, attentive service (something I’ve come to really value). Friendly and a very reasonable wait for fresh, delicious food. It’s also awesome to support the local owners. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Loved the food and staff
Great Shawarma, the chicken and beef were both tender and flavorful but the lamb gyro was the star at our table. Plenty of food. And the people were lovely. The gentleman at the counter explained the whole menu to us with patience. Dinner for 3 adults with an appetizer was $30. Not bad. Counter service but they bring the food out when ready. Such a great place!
