“ Super friendly, while ordering they offered my toddler a little something to eat for free - it was a little biscuit of sorts. Food is amazing great portion sizes and good flavors. Decor is a little odd and they have drink stored out in the open. My kids really enjoyed the music. ”
“ If you are looking for great Shawarma at a Good value - this is it. I love shawarma - especially the bowls - because it offers a lot of variety in flavors, offers healthy topping options and is satisfying for a long day of work. Sem Sem has everything you might expect from a fast Mediterranean grill. What sets them apart from other establishments in the area is in their attention to detail on each of their dishes. All of their toppings are prepared fresh and offer a great balance of flavors. ”
