Always spectacular food and service here. I'm a Mediterranean food junkie and this place hits the spot. Great Shawarma, good prices, and the service is always kind and quick. My favorite place to eat in Peoria for sure.

The food is delicious. Fresh and hot! They really care about your experience. The setting is just a nice place to sit and savor your food while enjoying conversation. Big clean tables. Nothing fancy, but total quality. Going back to try more.
