The hummus was outstanding—creamy, rich, and finished with the most incredible olive oil—and the chicken shawarma was perfectly seasoned and tender. I’m still thinking about it (and regretting not getting dessert). Lucky are the people who get to eat her cooking every day. On top of it all, the kindest people. So happy I ate here."
