Popped in for a quick lunch and got a falafel wrap. Unlike a lot of falafel in the area, the falafel was very flavorful and not dry. I felt like there was a good balance between the pickled turnips, tomatoes and lettuce. Overall a very good standard falafel that I would go back for when I'm in the area.

Better quality and bang for your buck than many places in the area

The hours may be shorter than some takeout/quick eat-in spots in the area, but once you’ve treated yourself to any one of the many dishes off their menu, you will quickly learn to adjust your schedule to order on time during the week, and add an extra couple helpings to get you through Sundays when they are closed. This is some of the freshest fast casual and most delicious food in the area, and if I’m honest, it may be half the reason (or probably more) I have continued to live in the vicinity for as long as I have. Delicious food and incredible service. What more could you want? Highly recommend.

Ducked into this little corner spot in the heart of Watertown's Armenian community for a bite and was not disappointed in the least. The falafel wrap was packed with fresh, delicious vegetables and pickled turnips and the falafel itself was fresh and nicely seasoned. The lentil soup tasted just like my grandmother's! Well worth a stop for a quick bite or takeout.

Friendly, family-run place with the best lentil soup in the area.

Great local family-run spot for very very good Mediterranean fare

We sat outside with our dogs and had delicious falafel combo roll ups and grape leaves! Everything was so fresh!

Best falafel I know of, and the lamb kebabs are amazing!

Solid lamb shwarma rollup.Great french fries.

I 1st want to say the lady behind the counter was very nice. Unfortunately, her practice for handling food wasn't so great. My 1st time checking out the place and I ordered a falafel wrap. She had gloves on when I came in and she took my order using the register with the gloves and sprayed down a table and chair with disinfectant and wiped it off using the same gloves. She then went back behind the counter and begin to make my falafel wrap. I watched in disbelief as she grabbed all the ingredients to make my wrap with the same gloves! I started to say something, but at that point, I knew I wasn't going to eat it and never return. Oh and they put the falafels in the microwave. I probably could've dealt with that but the unsanitary preparation of the food was unacceptable.
