| - Edit: I've lowered my review to a "3" because their prices keep going up and up. It was already too expensive in 2015 when I first went. Now it's just off my radar.

Service wise, they are very friendly. Order ahead and specify any exceptions clearly (no onions in salad, no hot sauce, extra hummus, etc) and I haven't had any errors
The food itself? It is pretty good but depends what you get....
- The shawarma dinner plate is really good. It is usually what I get. The garlic paste is overpowering, but it usually is. Sometimes I say 'skip the garlic and just put extra hummus'
- The shawarma wraps are pretty good, although nothing I haven't had at most other places.
- The gyro is good but it's just the beef shawarma meat cut into rectangles rather than slivers
- The fries are generic and bland. Avoid them. The first time I went I got the wrap combo with fries and a drink and I regret it... I had to add a lot of salt, pepper, ketchup etc to give them any flavour and even still they were bland. I think if they used a nice battered french fry, they'd be way better off.
- The rice? Quite tasty. A good compliment to the overall dinner plate, and nicely flavoured
Value? It's not great. They increase their prices every 6 months or so and I'm already price-conscious. What was $8.50 when I first went is now $10.25, and I didn't think it was worth $8.50 in the first place.
At the very least, the owner really feels like he wants your business. He seems like a kind guy who does what he does with pride. I only wish the prices were lower.
