First time visiting the area and I was super excited to see Shawarma sandwiches, but man what a disappointment. The food took a while to be prepped, seemed that there is only one person working in the store. The store smelled a little odd but I thought it was just the food being cooked ( I should’ve left right there). We ordered shawarma wrap, kafta wrap and chicken pieces for my child. The food took longer than expected and wraps came out. It looked presentable but the taste was awful. The meat was dry and rubbery, some of the meat was burnt. There was a ton of pungent onion in the wrap as well to cover up the bad taste of the low quality non-seasoned meat. We are quite disappointed with the quality of the food and would not come back.
I wanted to sit outside as the AC was cranking indoors but the seat cushions were whipped and no tables to eat on. I don’t recommend going here and it is not reasonably priced at all.

I’ve ordered take-out from here several times over the last 4 years and have had pretty good food. But this recent order was horrible. The chicken shawarma was completely dried out, hard & no seasonings, no flavor or even color to the chicken. I’ve never seen shawarma look like that ever in my life. Inedible & so over priced for bad chicken & mushy white rice.
The falafel sandwich must have been warmed up too long because everything inside was hot; the lettuce & tomatoes turned into cooked vegetables, along with other ingredients. The sandwich fell apart as I’m eating it and was completely ruined.
I hate to say it but I will no be returning after that poor quality food.. Not worth trying again. Too expensive.

The husband and I have been waiting for the summer crowds to thin out to try Madeline’s. It was definitely worth the wait. While not exactly the shawarma we remember fondly from our years in Europe, the flavors were wonderful.
I ordered the beef and the husband ordered the chicken. The shawarma came cut in half so we each tried half of each. The chicken had a nice sharp garlic kick and the beef had a great Mediterranean flavor.
The restaurant is rather small but has indoor seating and a couple of outdoor bistro-style tables as well.
The food took a bit to get, but we didn’t mind the wait and used the time to see the large photos on the walls.

Burnt fries and dried out beef schwarma. We decided to give this place one more try for take out because we've been disappointed before but sorry we did. Waste of money and food was thrown away. Not edible.
