Absolutely fantastic food. Got this for take out one night and was really really surprised with how good the food was. I was blown away by the flavors in my chicken wrap. It was stuffed with fries and pickles but it was incredible. This place is located in union market and most of the time really busy, but its worth it.

Instant 5 stars no question, no hesitation. My husband and I split the fattoush with falafel and the chicken shawarma sandwich. Both were just so delicious. Service was very friendly, and the bar is a fun vibe as much as it can be in the craziness of Union Market. Well be back!
