Awful food, not sure what has changed but I ordered some food thru Postmates. It was probably the worst Mediterranean food I have ever had.

Honestly the food wasn't as great as I expected. There are still better options in the surrounding area i.e. Halal Bros. The chicken shawarma wasn't that great and their subs didn't actually come on a sub. I only gave three stars because of the location however I would rather walk a little farther to another restaurant.

Since it's located in and around UT campus, it caters primarily to students (such as it's open till 4 am) I found the food pricing to be reasonable. Shahwarma at $4.70 and a Sheesh Tawook platter for around $8. Both are quite good. As mentioned by shahed, it does take a while to get your fodo ready. Recommended for having a quick bite. Parking is in a shabby alley next to the restaurant.

Went to this place twice as a student and avoided it all other times. They are very shady about whether they sell zabihah or not and the owner never seemed sincere. Everything else on the menu was mediocre anyways.
Would not return

when i asked the guys at the counter..what stuff is not HALAL that they sell..he said Brother Alhamdulilah everything is HalaL...we dont sell PORK...just say Bismillah and eat anything here....Chicken is halal so its halal...so i am not sure it is Halal.....i think they consider chicken from Walmart to be halal if you say Bismillah on it?

Excellent food and welcoming atmosphere. Takes a bit of time during busy periods.
