Omg. I don't normally like writing positive reviews, but omg I haven't used this phrase in a long time. The food is "broke da mout" soooo delicious! Ordered through doordash, which is so easy, all the sides are listed to add or take away, they take special instructions as well. Basically they're willing to cater to the customer. I have to say that when you have a person who is super picky, and they actually loved the food, that's gotta speak volumes about how tasty it is. The food is SOO ONO! OMG! I think I'm a tiny biased torwards Mediterranean food, but it really is that good. The meat is moist and seasoned super good, and saffron rice, the pita bread, the sandowhich, the cilantro sauce, spicy sauce, everything was Soo good. If you have hankering for mediterranean food, MAKE THE DRIVE! P.S. Prices don't break the bank!

This is my normal stop for a great salad. Their salad with mixed meat (chicken and beef/lamb) is great. Romaine lettuce, sliced onions, olives, feta cheese crumbles, some type of yogurt sauce, and their salad dressing topped off with the meat. I then top it off with their hot sauce. Very simple salad with lots of flavor!

Amazing food and service! There aren't a whole lot of places in Hawaii that have this sort of food. So this was a very welcome change. The people there were great! Very helpful. Atmosphere was a bit more typical - focused on to go orders. But it was fine. We'll definitely be back!
