“Absolutely delicious! This was the best food I’ve had since moving to California 6 years ago! I ordered the shawarma plate with pickled veggies and garlic sauce. It was perfection. My husband and I shared and he ran back to the truck and ordered a second plate to have for lunch tomorrow. The flavors were authentic, the meat was juicy and excellent portion size. I’ll definitely look for you guys again! Nothing beats the taste of home.“

“We had 1/2 wowshies, which are more than enough for one normal person. One falafel and one basterma. They’re delicious and a real bargain. The topping bar includes pickled turnips, and a really really hot sauce that is really really hot. The service is not exactly forthcoming, so you have to be a bit assertive.“
