I walk past this spot all the time and always notice the laughter and good vibes coming from inside. I'm happy to say, it’s just as pleasant as it looks. The doors were open on this nice day, and we enjoyed a great breeze flowing through.I had the drink of the day, a blood orange spritz, and it was solid. The food? Also, a win. The chicken shawarma was layered with flavor, so so good. I’ll definitely be coming back for it again. The pita? Fresh, fluffy and just right.Bonus points for accepting InKind and Blackbird. That alone sealed the deal for a return visit. - Takyashilah S
