Got the Chicken Shawarma in tin and it was delicious! Meat was soft, seasoned really well and tasted fresh. Rice was cooked perfectly. Salad was fresh tasting and it came with some green dressing and hot chili sauce! Super spicy but delicious. Nice and chill in there. Lady at the counter was super sweet and even brought my food to me. A little pricey but most food is nowadays. Definitely going back sometime in the future.

The Beef Shawarma meal combo was delicious. They brought our meal to our table. Fries were fresh and hot, and the meat was flavorful. The staff was knowledgeable, and helped with the menu choices. Thanks for a good dinner, and evening out.

The hidden jewel of Sugarhouse. If you want authentic and delicious food from the heart of the Holy Land Jerusalem, then look no further. They are fast friendly, healthy and VERY affordable. :) A

One of the best restaurants in Salt Lake. The employees are helpful. Prices are affordable considering the amount you get. I have been there many times and I highly recommend the Philly Cheesesteak and the Shawarma tin.

Stopped on a whim, the construction didn't impede access too bad. The chicken shawarma sandwich was amazing: good balanced flavor, hearty meat and spices with bright vegetables and lettuce. The sandwich is in a pita pocket which was warm. The bread tasted great, had the perfect texture to be a suitable sandwich but bite off easily - not doughy, not dry. Will eat here again, for sure.

Good food for a good price. I really liked the kifteh sandwich. Had the gyro bowl before and it was great, but I felt recently the cilantro sauce they used might have been a bit diluted or it got put less; I’d love to see consistency there. Staff are friendly and can help you choose items with detail info if you’re unsure of what to get.

As girl who grew up eating middle eastern food only. This is the best (only) good falafel I've has in utah. The tahini is amazing and very garlicky. The falafel wrap comes with tomatoes and cucumbers like proper too. It's literally delicious. The kids working here are also super nice.
