Never judge a book by its cover. If my coworker didn't bring me here then I don't think I would've ever came here on my own. The shop was packed with the Friday lunch crowd.
The plates are a must-try, mostly because their rice is so unique. The rice is packed with lentils and grilled onions, a nice change from the oily rice you'd get from other places. It's the rice your boyfriend told you not to worry about. At $10 per plate, you get more than enough food to fill yourself up. You can also get the 2 for $8 shawarma deal so you can try different proteins. The baklava here is also surprisingly good and big enough to share.
I'm only docking a star because service was a bit slow and they did mix up our order and forgot to give us a plate, but I guess you can't have it all!
