First off, the entire place has great PRICES and good portions for what you buy. I can order a pita that sustains me for lunch for less than $5. Secondly, the FOOD is good. Chicken plates there are to die for. Third, the SERVICE is good. Generally, places that serve cheap food aren't exactly obligated to have the best service...but this restaurant goes above and beyond that call. I have been there enough times for the workers to recognize me, and know what I want. Preparation of the food seems to always be quick as well. All-around great for college students on a budget as well as a hearty family meal.
Also, the market side seems to sell many cheap, varied food and kitchen items. I don't normally venture on that side of the store, but I do hear it's worth it.
