“ If you in the area, check out this place really good fresh food. Very friendly stuff. ”
“ Nice and friendly service and ambience. My order included a Chicken Shawarma Salad which was a good portion although I couldn't really taste the meat so much because it was cut quite small. The Baba Ganoush with Pita was good, although more garlicky than smoky Eggplant tinged like other places. The Chicken Kebab Plate was also a good portion. The Chicken was juicy and tender although not really flavorsome. Overall, a good place for lunch. ”
“ Went to the Reagan library today to see the Dead Sea Scrolls. After sitting in the parking lot to leave, we yelped some restaurant reviews and decided on this place. The food was amazing and the service was incredible. I was impressed with everything including the pricing. I don't live in this area, but if I did, I would frequent this place. I think you should try it, you'll like it. ”
“ Great food, fast friendly service. I was given some free soup and it was so delicious and hit the spot. I would go again. Even my kids liked it and they are super picky. The place was comfortable and easy to get to. ”
“ Expensive but great food Great service Hummus is the best I've had Highly recommend it Go and try some ”
“ Our favorite middle eastern food in Simi! Always reminds me of my mom's cooking. Love the pickles, falafel salad, lamb sandwich, and the chicken kebab. Friendly staff, everything always tastes so fresh, absolutely delicious! ”
“ To make this short and sweet - plenty of parking, an attentive staff, large portions of food for a fair price and no wait time. A solid spot for Mediterranean that will leave you satisfied. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate, which comes with rice, well-seasoned chicken, salad and hummus. Everything was delicious and pita came on the side for free. The staff checked in on us consistently and were lovely. ”
