Cons:

• "And the price… I know Covid has forced a lot of places to raise their prices, but who can afford $16 for casual take out lunch."
• "Everything is good 👍, Not the 10% service fee if I'm only getting a falafel sandwich for $8+tax."
• "The only part that doesn't seem worth it are the specialty drinks since they're super small."
• "Not worth the $22 for subpar food."

• "With 'service charge', tax, delivery fee it came to about $15 pp for the falafel sandwiches and fries."
• "The food is good, but way too expensive for them to make mistakes like this regularly."

Milkshakes and Beverages

• "If you’ve never had a tahini shake, this is the place to get it!"
• "The tahini shake was very unique and pretty good."

Cons:

• "The only part that doesn't seem worth it are the specialty drinks since they're super small."
• "Today seemed to be an off day. Sauce was salty, tomatoes mushy, toppings on shake meh."
• "The mint taste was overpowering and tasted very artificial to me."
• "The shakes are legit terrible you have to enjoy cardboard if you like them."
• "I got the milkshakes and- without being unnecessarily mean-spirited...they were really bad. Like....really bad."
• "Watch out for the cookie crumble that is added to the tehina shake because there may be almonds or another tree nut in them."
• "The spices are very bad, their ketchup is horrible.. just use regular ketchup or at least give people an option to use it."
