I can say that I really love the middle eastern food, and this is the closer you can try compared to countries like Israel, Egypt. Pita bread was so fresh and soft, great shawarma and magical falafel. The music bring a very nice atmosphere.

Very nice personal waiting for you with a big smile, them you order at the cashier and they buzzer you to go and take your favorite salads from the clean and fresh salad bar with a lot of sauces, that was my favorite part. Good...food, schnitzel platter was my favorite.More

Just got back from eating here and we were blown away by the food. We got a falafel platter, chicken shawarma sandwich, and two smoothies - everything tasted fresh and delicious. Falafel was nice and crispy and not dry at all. Chicken shawarma was HUGE...and delicious. The salad bar haf lots of options and tasted fresh as well. The smoothies were the best we’ve had so far during our trip in CR and we’ve had a lot of snoothies. Lastly, service was great - super friendly and quick. Highly recommend a visit here to everybody!More

We really love the middle eastern food and this place was magic. The shawarma sandwich and the way how you can put salad is awesome and make your sandwich unique. I love they serve pita bread with thini sauce from the house.

Such a great place, only restaurant we went to more than once. We loved all the food and drinks we got (falafel, smoothies, chicken shawarma, beef patties, mojitos) and the place was very cute with outdoor seating. The staff were all very friendly and there...was the cutest cat who liked to sit around and say hi to the customers (if you are not a fan of cats the staff ask and make sure he does not bother you)! Definitely recommend:)More
