| - We come here for the grocery, and more importantly, the food! Not the cleanest atmosphere, but they have a great selection of spices and ingredients. The wholesale warehouse a ways down the street is now open to the public and has more of a selection for grocery stuff.
The restaurant is known for the food, not the service. They have a simple menu, hand cooked food, and cheap prices. Falafel is tasty and they have a good selection of necessities; tabbouleh, gyro meat, rice, salads, pitas, and dessert. You can go in and get the food for take out, or take a seat for a quick bite on the other half of the store.
I would highly recommend the chicken shawarma plate. You'll be stuffed if you finish the whole thing, but I always want more, and as soon as I leave I think of the next time I get to go back and get it again. It has a great sampling of the best seasoned tabbouleh I've had at a restaurant, creamy hummus and some amazing garlic sauce. The chicken is moist and you cannot go wrong with putting sumac on everything (the dark red spice in the glass shaker on the table). Finish off with some of the amazing baklava and you'll be all set for the day!
Staff is friendly, and this place is worth going to if you need middle eastern spices and canned goods that you can't get at a normal grocery store.
