★★★★☆ Decent halal place with sit down area and delivery services Posted on December 11, 2019

★★★★★ Great food, reasonable prices and friendly service Posted on October 4, 2019

★★★★★ Great food and great attitude loved the Falafel and the Shawerma very friendly service and very reasonably priced It is a single owner working with one help so expect a pit of delay but it is worth it to wait. For sure will return again Posted on October 4, 2019

★★★★★ Mashallah the best shawarma ever had! Posted on February 22, 2014

★★★★☆ We visited this place based on the positive reviews on Yelp, their snazzy website also was appealing. You can't really tell from the pictures on the website, but the place itself is more of a take-out joint than a sit-in restaurant. There were only two tables when we went there. Service was a bit slow for a take-out place, but then again there was only one man preparing the food (and there was a steady stream of walk-in customers, even past 8pm on a weekday!). We weren't expecting much, but the food turned out to be rather good (and inexpensive). When we went to pay, the guy gave us the baklava we had ordered on the house (I guess since we were first-timers at the place). We would definitely come here again for take-out, but not to sit and eat! Posted on February 6, 2013

★★★☆☆ This place has many local great reviews especially in local magazines and newspapers. The service is VERY slow. It took about 30 to 40 minutes to get three sandwiches, other customers were also frustrated. The salad items were old and tasted like the fridge, the shawarma was overcooked, but the chicken kabob was very good. Call ahead if you want to order, and avoid their salad items like tabouli etc. Posted on February 5, 2012

★☆☆☆☆ Seriously disgusting. Everything tasted like it had been left out for days, and made with crisco. I threw my sandwich out. NOT REAL EGYPTIAN OR MIDDLE EASTERN FOOD. Posted on April 23, 2011

★★★★★ Masha'Allah, what a great little place to eat! I went with the Muslim Student Association from my college (about 15 of us), and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there. I got a beef/lamb shawarma platter which came with the shawarma meat, rice, salad, and bread. Everything was very fresh and full of flavor, Masha'Allah. There were also samples of lentil soup being given out, and it was honestly some of the best soup I had ever had. The people that worked there were extremely friendly and hospitable Masha'Allah. The restaurant itself is quite small, so if you're coming with a large group it's probably a good idea to call ahead of time to let them know you're coming. If you ask the workers there, they will show you to a spot to pray. I would definitely come here again Insha'Allah; it's a real gem in the Allston area. Posted on October 17, 2010

★★☆☆☆ Slow service, non serious attitude. I waited for about 40 min just to get 2 shawarma at 7 pm on week end night, as I was the only customer, so you can well imagine the service speed. The taste was same, rather no taste at all... Posted on June 9, 2010
