Have You Tried the Shawarma at The Genie Den?

June 2, 2016 by

“The Genie Den has granted my three wishes…1) great service 2) great food 3) great ambiance!” That’s the word of one regular Genie Den patron. Many other Yelp reviewers agree. The Genie Den has an ambiance that transports diners to the Middle East, and the eatery serves authentic and flavor-packed food that does the same. With family roots in Saudi Arabia, the owners create dishes with a distinct Gulf flavor that hearken back to old family recipes.

Freshly fried falafel with hummus, plump dolma, and tabouleh are favorite appetizers of regulars, but the real star of the menu is the shawarma, Yelp reviewers say. The roasted halal meat is juicy and delicately seasoned, carved off the spit, and packed into a pita sandwich stuffed full of hummus, pickles, tabouleh, tahini, and veggies.

Don’t leave without trying the homemade baklava, a light, flaky and sticky-sweet Mediterranean treat.
