    This was my first time eating this kind of food as I thought this was more greek food. When I got in I wasn't really sure where to start since I hadn't had any of this food. When I got near the register I was greeted and I mentioned I wasn't sure what I would like as this was my first time. Colby let me know all about the food, different ingredients and what he recommends as an introduction. I ordered per his recommendation the Esquire pita which was featured on the food network! They also have their own soda machine by a brand called Stubborn with some really yummy and unique options. When I got my food it was top tier. The food was amazing and I loved it with the Tahini and Sriracha sauces! Lest to say I will be coming back and bringing my friends and family to try this exceptional food and service.

    One of the best shawerma places in San Diego, hands down! The food is delicious, and the service is awesome. My family and I have Tahini on the top of our list every time we're visiting San Diego. MUST TRY!!!!

    I'm obsessed with this place. The food is SO fresh, made to order. The service is always great, order is always correct and comes out fast. I am always impressed with my food. The flavors are amazing. You can't go wrong, perfect lunch gem. My only suggestion is to run the AC in the summer because it's steamy inside when trying to eat... not sure how the employees are working with it so warm in there. Food tho 10/10!!!
