"At first glace, Jerusalem is nothing to write home about, but look past the fluorescent deli lighting and some clutter and you’ll see this corner store is chock full of treats that can be difficult to find elsewhere: throughout several ownerships, this storefront has offered up Middle Eastern groceries for 33 years. In recent years the current owner started offering a small selection of food: the shawarma and falafel come highly recommended. And unsurprisingly, the hummus knocks Sabra out of the park." - Melissa McFeeters

Trusted the reviews & was not disappointed!! Delicious, authentic falafel sandwich came with all of the fixings in fresh pita. Tiny little shop with a kitchen in the back. Yum!

If you like chicken shawarma and falafel- go no further this place is a hidden gem. It’s a unassuming old building - with a equally old run down convenient store. Going in you might not even know there’s a kitchen in the back.
I had seen a YouTube video about the chicken shawarma wrap. But i had inquired about the platter and did they deliver! Generous amount of chicken over a bed of rice and a side of salad. All the sauces were fantastic.
The food was enough for two meals or two people. So the initial price of 14 is a steal. Definitely a take out place - but enjoy!

This is the best Falafel, I've ever had (Sorry Goldie)! The market needs a face lift, but has a great selection of mid-eastern spices, ingredients and treats.

Hidden gem. The chicken shawarma wrap was so good, so flavorful and spicy(without being too hot.) Great portion sizes too. People were friendly and sweet as well.

Great hole in the wall place, the owner Mohammed is great. Delicious, flavorful shwarma platters, middle eastern groceries. You can buy homemade hummus here that is better and cheaper than the supermarket
Call ahead to order shwarma, can be a 15-20 min wait otherwise
