“ I was craving some tabbouli so I ordered from this restaurant on DoorDash. This version didn't have any mint in it which did please me, I don't really like mint too much. It was flavorful and fresh; the medium portion was huge too! It took up an entire regular size takeout container. I ordered the lentil soup to go with it but they were out, so the hummus was swapped in for it free of charge. It came with 2 whole big pieces of pita bread and was very delightfully garlicky and smooth. I would order from here again. ”

“ This place was delightful! The lady at the counter was super nice. I came by for a quick lunch and got an almond rice salad and a small hummus that came with fresh pita bread. The salad dressing was perfect! Not sour or too sweet. Just right. The vegetables were fresh and the rice perfectly fluffy. They are halal. The hummus was absolutely perfect too! So smooth and creamy. ”
