Ishtar Gate? More like Ishtar Great! This is the best hole in the wall in all of Fo Po, my two dishes were very good.

Everything was fantastic. Can't recommend it highly enough. I'd been wanting to try this place for quite a while and I wish I had sooner!

This food was amazing, I actually mean the best shawarma I've ever had (I ordered the chicken shawarma plate) and the fries were real, not just frozen. I will be eating here again
