What people say

"The place is famous for their gigantic group plates. The food is tasty. Their shawarma is different than what surrounding Syrian shops serve. They use different parts of the chicken like the Turkish Gemüse Kebab, it's more oily, and full of pickled/fried veggies. The sandwich costs only 5 Euros and the tea is free. While the staff is friendly, the service is criminally slow. They also use plastic plates. There are a lot of tables inside which can accommodate 4-6 people. Price performance is quite good. If you're in a hurry, skip it. Otherwise sit down and enjoy that tasty shawarma."
