First time coming, and will definitely be coming back. Coming into the building is very welcoming, nice calm music with pleasant dining area. Menu is nice with the ethnic food with an American dining side as well. Food portions are extremely generous which will make sure your stomach leaves happy. The owner and staff are extremely nice and welcoming and make you feel like a long time friend. Food came out quick and hot, and extremely flavorful. Looking forward to coming back and trying the rest of the menu (kangaroo and camel burger, yes please).

Authentic flavor, a gem in north michigan. I got the chicken shawarma platter, some grape leaves, and baklava. Excellent meal in friendly setting. Fun modern music and a warm ambiance

Came from Dearborn- a place that is known for its middle eastern food -so honestly did not walk in expecting much. However we left having the most deliciously prepared food we've had in months.Hands down the best Shawarma I've had in MI so far! The chefs are extremely generous and hospitable. They make you feel at home the second you walk in! Would 100% recommend.

*Updated - 5/13/2023* I finally had a chance to dine-in and truly a splendid setting. Late afternoons and evenings do get busy, but they have setup the dining area perfectly. I also snapped some pics of it as well as my plates of food. I also tried their dessert, Baklava. It's actually really tasty and not too/over sweet. Recommended. This place is outstanding! I absolutely love the lamb gyro(***now a Mediterranean vegetable option that is added to the gyro, and IT'S A WORK OF ART!!!!***). I ask for it spicy and they use their own blend of seasoning, that's truly splendid. Pro tip: If you're ordering for lunch(work lunch 30 minutes) , order 15 minutes ahead of time because he's making everything fresh right then and it'll be up right as you get there!

Best Mediterranean-Middle Eastern food I had in long time. Quality and quantity both are A. The lady at the counter was very friendly and supportive. We had the meat platter, falafel gyro and curries. The smell and taste was just amazing and authentic . Must try place in Traverse city. Lot of parking available as it’s in a strip mall. Go with lot of space in your belly as you food is worth it.

My husband and I came in on lunch. This place is spectacular!! We came in, ordered, and shortly afterwards they had many other guests arrive. The gentleman working was kind and courteous and treated us like we were the only ones there even though he was the only one behind the counter. He was hustling making food and taking care of everyone. The food was fantastic and speaks for itself. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I made the 45-minute drive after finding this hidden gem through Google, and it was absolutely worth every mile! This was his first experience with Arabic cuisine, and we couldn't have picked a better place for his introduction. The moment we stepped inside, we were charmed by the restaurant's beautiful, cozy interior. The ambiance was perfect – authentic music playing softly in the background created just the right atmosphere. What really made our experience special was the warm hospitality from the owners, a lovely husband and wife team. They treated us like welcomed guests in their home, taking time to explain dishes and make recommendations. The service was attentive and accommodating, and the authenticity of both the atmosphere and the owners' genuine passion for sharing their cuisine shines through in everything they do. This place is truly a standout example of how a family-run restaurant should be – combining excellent food with heartfelt hospitality. If you're willing to make the drive, I promise you won't be disappointed!
