It's one of the best shawarma placed in Minneapolis The Shawerma had a great smoky taste to it. The spices were great. It was so good I returned the next day for another shawarma, although it was good, not as good as the one from the day before (maybe because I came early in the afternoon?), and hence the 4 stars. I loved both the chicken and the beef shawarma

The most authentic and delicious chicken Shawarma I’ve tasted in the cities so far. And the first one who adds pomegranate molasses to the sandwich! They sure know what they’re doing. That garlic sauce is to die for!!! Also their burgers are super super good, I had to take one home after I finished my shawarma. This place should be famous. I’m so excited to taste the beef shawarma!

I really enjoyed the felafel bowl with rice and salad. It was very simple and fresh. The felafel was crispy and soft on the inside. It doesn't taste like real traditional felafel from common Arabic restaurants but I will give it a 4 star rating for this reason. It wasn't busy when I came in so I only encountered one staff member at the counter and she was nice. I even asked for a garlic sauce in addition to their yogurt paprika sauce and they were both delicious. I might try their shawarma sandwich next time I come here. The prices are fair as it depends on what you order. Its worth the trip and the experience!

The Arabic beef Shawarma was really tasty. The counter person and my wife, both vegetarians, had a brief discussion of various vegetarian options...this added nicely to the visit, and my wife was very pleased with her choice of Falafel Platter. Side sauces were a great touch, along with cucumbers and pickles. Last note: the French fries had just the right amount of seasoning and crispiness...I love French fries, and these I'll be going back for!

I heard about from friends that they have a good Arabic Shawerma. I stopped there for quick late lunch. The interior is modern and spacious. The good thing they don’t have food smell like all Arab restaurants. The place is really clean. Staff are friendly. I tried the chicken Shawerma it was ok big portion but the spices taste in it was too much or it would be really the best Shawerma in Minnesota. You can feel a strong cardamom taste. Fries was good and crispy. 17.27$ for chicken wrap, fries and fountain drink. Try it you won’t regret it.
