I got a gyro here once and it felt like I was making out with the most beautiful Greek boy ever born in east Baltimore. The I had some hummus that tasted like Anatolia had blended its bounty and poured it in my mouth. Plus I was really hungover and it cured me really fast!

Had the samosa wrap and it was incredibly delicious. The fresh vegetables were very well balanced with the crunchy, savory samosas. I wish I lived closer, because I could imagine stopping in for one of those often.

Been coming here for years and it still never disappoints! Love it so much! Best falafel Ive ever had in my falafel life. Best ingredients! Authentic! Baklava is my absolute fav vegan one. I cook a lot at home but this is always my eat out option!
