"Chicken Rappa Strip Box was delicious. food was fresh and still warm.Prego Dipping Sauce was actually nice."
"The chips were soggy, like really soggy. This ruined everything. The burger was just carried by the sauce, meat was soo little, however the other things were good. The bun seemed fine, meat was dry and thin but wasnt that bad, and sauce was pretty good. The wings were good as well, not the best but good fs. Some chips like just 1-2 atleast on what I got were crispy and nicely salted, they were good. But 98% of it was badly salted, it had no taste. If you are paying 26 dollars for this, its not worth it tbh."

"Zaatar Pizza so good, thank you"
"I ordered breakfast (eggs with sujuk and foul) along with an iced latte. The food arrived, but the iced latte was missing. When I called the restaurant, I was told that the DoorDash driver forgot it. I then spoke to the manager, and the manager simply told me that I could come in and get my money back. Very disappointing experience, especially since I ordered delivery so I wouldn’t have to go to the restaurant in the first place."
