May 14, 2026"This is the most delicious and legit Kebab Wrap I have had in the United States!! The kebab is cooked and seasoned perfectly, it's tender and fresh. The lavash is warm and soft, expertly toasted on the grill. And then the sauce and pickles push it over the top for a solid 10/10!! These wraps are large! But SO GOOD, you'll be totally full and considering a second one for indulgence! (I took one for the road!) They have about 5 different wrap combinations. Lamb, chicken, kebab, lamb and chicken, and I believe beef but don't quote me. THEN they ALSO have: Gyros Salads with a topping of Lamb, Chicken, or Beef. Are you a vegetarian? My condolences... BUT!!! They have falafel, hummus, babaganoush, salad, etc. The gentleman running the show is not only a great cook but very friendly, attentive to his guests, and made for a very welcome and pleasant experience! CASH is preferred, but they have Square and take Cards"
