Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited and competitive after 7pm. Plan to circle or walk a few blocks.
Dress code: Casual. Jeans and sneakers are standard; come comfortable for a relaxed, late-night meal.
Noise level: Moderate to lively late at night—conversation is possible, but it’s not a quiet room.
Weekend wait: 20–30 minutes during peak late-night hours; faster if arriving before 9pm.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—falafel, salads, rice, hummus, and sides, but the menu is meat-forward.
Vegan options: Limited—falafel, salad, rice, and some sauces; confirm sauces before ordering.
Gluten-free options: Mostly—grilled meats, rice, and salads are naturally gluten-free, but cross-contact is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual or late-night first date than a formal one. The vibe is relaxed and food-focused, not intimate or polished.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes. Reservations aren’t typical here—walk-ins are the norm, especially for small groups.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who enjoy grilled meats and rice. No special kids menu, but portions are shareable.
Best For
Better for: Late-night sit-down halal platters with space for groups—more comfortable than street carts or tiny counters.
Skip if: You want refined Middle Eastern cooking, standout wraps, or a quieter, date-driven atmosphere.
