The editorial review gave it a 7 and I have to agree. I had a kufte kebab (spicy meatballs) on laffa bread for $7. A can of soda was a buck. It was good but kind of "lonely." No chips or fries or anything. If like me, you don't care about keeping kosher, your dollar will go farther at a lot of other places.
