food was excellent fries were great shawarma was excellent. I have one thing, I wish the store would let you know what sauces they include. I got 2 containers of mystery sauce. Both delicious but I don't know what they were.

Authentic flavors much better now than before when it was opened. I definitely recommend their shawarma and gyro, their portions are more than enough and everything is fresh and full of flavor
