mentioned by 100% of the guests
When it comes to the food here, youre in for a treat! With a fantastic score of 8.7 and a customer satisfaction rate of 87.5%, its clear that most diners are absolutely loving what's on their plate. Out of 88 customer remarks, a whopping 77 were glowing, praising the amazing flavors, fresh ingredients, and generous portions, especially for their delicious shawarma and crispy falafels.
However, a handful of the 6 less enthusiastic comments pointed out some areas for improvement. Some found the wraps disappointing, noting the use of burrito tortillas instead of traditional lavash, and a few felt the fillings were a bit insipid or that the meat portions sometimes looked more like a garnish, with some even receiving cold wraps.

Disappointing Wraps, Lacking Flavor
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I found the wraps to be overrated, especially if other wrap eaters haven't tried them elsewhere. They are using burrito tortillas instead of lavash, and the fillings were insipid at best.
The food score was 3, service was 4, and atmosphere was 4.

Fresh, Flavorful, and Friendly!
My go-to spot when visiting Spark Social! The food is consistently fresh and flavorful, never disappointing. I highly recommend the beef shawarma wrap; the sauce and grilled meat are perfection, especially when paired with a cold Diet Coke.
The staff is always friendly, with a special mention to Hosni, who radiates positive energy. I give it a 12/10 recommendation!
