Affordable and delicious! It seems the prices are higher if you order online compared to in the store, but I didn't mind since it would be ready when I arrived. The inside has some seating available and was clean there was also a showcase of all the tasty desserts. I ordered the meat pie, kibbeh, and werbat, they were all fantastic. The meat pie was light and filling, the kibbeh was freshly fried and seasoned well and the werbat was flaky and sweet. I look forward to returning and trying more of the menu.

The food is always very tasty and the service is great. I first came with a friend a couple of years ago and it was enough for me to go back. My partner and I get the plate that has meat variety, kibbeh, pita, salad, and hummus when we order from here. It's very good, have recommended this to others. Thanks for the great food and service.

Delicious! My Auntie even asks me to get her treats they've made when our errands put us close. I have enjoyed everything we've tried.

The chicken shwarma was great. Everything from the rice to the hummus was on point. The Bhaklavas are also the best ive had

I love the food and like the wonderful experience with the chefs. I didn't like the way we were treated at the time we were celebrating my birthday. We made a mistake with the time and the hostess was rude. I will definitely be careful with being on time. Even though the food was so good her behavior doesn't allow me to go back. I don't like to be treated rudely. I'm a sweet and kind person. The ambiance is busy and a little on the loud side.

Spinach pie is my favorite. Zaatar pie on the boring side and red pepper pie WAY too spicy for me. When I return, I will just order spinach pies and try some of their almond cookies; the desserts look appealing but I haven't tried any yet.

Lovely food and lovely people! They were celebrating someone's birthday when I went in and they gave all of the customers a piece of birthday cake. I ordered the falafel wrap combo. The wrap itself was huge and super devious (even as leftovers 2 days later). I also got a cheese pie and a spinach pie. The pastry for the pie is more "bready" than flaky like a lot of other Mediterranean "pies" but not in a bad way. The spinach pie had a tart flavor (maybe sumac?). Not what I was expecting but still delicious. For dessert I got the bosbousa which was such a surprise. It's a denser cake soaked in a rose hinted syrup. So delicious!!!

What a hidden gem! This place is amazing...I only wish they delivered via one of the services because I would order it for lunch a few times a week! Best falafel I've ever tried! It is garlicky, herbie, crunchy - just, perfection! Their falafel wrap is HUGE and so fresh and delicious full of lettuce, tomatoes, and a sauce similar to tzatziki. My husband and I love getting an order of their hummus and a falafel pita to share - it is the most perfect lunch, doesn't feel too heavy, and is so refreshing. Their hummus is so flavorful and very creamy - definitely one of the best ones out there and the closest one in comparison to the one I make at home. We've also tried their Baba Ghanoush - which was actually so good, I never liked it before having it here - and the Trifecta platter with the beef kebab, and beef and chicken shawarma - omg it was so much food, I had enough for another meal. Delicious and, again, so fresh tasting. After writing this review...now I want it all again!

Still hooked from my experience from Sahara I had to try this spot out. The inside is like a fast food joint with a couple of items out for display but they do cook some dishes fresh to order. There's minimal space inside for parties , by this I mean the tables are meant to accommodate 2 people in a narrow isle , if you plan on dining in with friends you'd have to push the tables together. Chicken shawarma was outstanding , just right amount of salt , herbs and spices and cooked to juicy perfection. Probably one of the best chicken shawarmas I've had.. 8.5/10 Falafel was pretty good but not as good as a saharas . The texture might been a bit softer in the outside but the flavor and aroma wasn't as pronounced as saharas. Pretty good falafel though !! 7.5/10 Baklava was solid, very view places can wow me with theirs but east bistro's has a hint of rose flavor that I normally dislike when it's overdone , it was just a smidgen here so it worked fine. 7/10 Kibbeh was delicious and quickly becoming one of my must orders at every Mediterranean spot. This one was served inside a pastry that is deep fried . Definitely a lot going on with this one , crispy exterior , soft ground kibbeh inside , moist with some onion flavor and a bunch of spices. It's delicious but on the smaller side . 8/10 Overall I like east bistro quite a bit and would visit again :)
