Disappointing Kebab Skewers
My experience with the take out chicken kebab was extremely disappointing. I received two mini skewers, which felt like one skewer had been cut up. I was really excited, but ultimately sad about this let down.
: (Regarding the metadata, the parking was somewhat difficult to find, and the price per person was between $20–30. The restaurant offers a vegetarian menu or section and is somewhat recommended for vegetarians. The atmosphere received a score of 4, and the service received a 5, but the food received a low score of 2.

Delicious Falafel Wrap with a Kick
My experience at the restaurant was great! I had the falafel wrap, which was very delicious. The flavor was a little strong, but it's perfect for those who enjoy strong flavors.
The service and food were both rated a 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere also received a 5. They have a large vegetarian selection and it's highly recommended for vegetarians. Parking was easy with a free parking lot and plenty of parking space.
The wait time was non-existent, with no wait. The price per person was between $10–20, and it was a lunch meal.

Best Pita Wrap in San Diego!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I arrived a bit before opening, and Danny, the owner, was kind enough to open the doors a few minutes early so I could order immediately. He and the cook were incredibly friendly and provided a detailed explanation of their most popular meals and why.
The establishment was exceptionally clean and tidy. Most importantly, the pita wrap I had was the best one I’ve ever eaten in San Diego. It's clear they are not a franchise and take immense pride in their business, which you can feel upon entering.
I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. I will definitely be returning!
