The best experience at a Sudanese restaurant — absolutely the best in everything: service, taste, and quality. I highly recommend trying it as soon as possible. You won’t regret it!

I wish you could smell this review.. I just picked up this food and had to leave a review! I called and was told it would be about 45 minutes so they could cook my food FRESH! Fine with me! When I arrived the kind gentlemen was just finishing up my order. He was kind and quick! I think my total came to about $13.75. The second I got my food in the car I was ready to dig in because it smelled so good. I got home and immediately dug in! I got the chicken shawarma combo and it came with fries and naan. AMAZING! This food is so good. It was hot, flavorful, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The fries have a tasty seasoning on them that makes them go well with the chicken. I will be back for sure! Hopefully this review makes you try it! Happy to support a wonderful local business with quality food. Now I’m going to have to fight off my dogs because they had a small bite and they also loved it.

Got a drink on the house and some of the best shawarma and fries I’ve ever had. REALLY CHEAP. The sauce is really something too. Overall, definitely recommend!
