Nice toasted pita, Hummus, Falafel and taboulli. Those things are important to test an Arabic Restaurant in Puerto Rico. Plus they serve beer so they are probably Christians (always good) I will be back.

The food was good but the service was not great. Had to remind the waitress of our order multiple times and we waited so long for the check that we contemplated leaving without paying (don’t think they would’ve noticed). Could be good if they didn’t act like you are inconveniencing them for being a customer.

One of my favorite places to eat in old San Juan. Clean, great service, good quality food, and awesome daily specials. The gyros are delicious, as well as their pastas and burgers.

Average place… Except for the train –which is … definitely cool -, the service was poor (really slow and full of mistakes) overfried french fries, and shawarma –have to say– quite the average…

Ordered the platter off the menu and it was a lot of fresh, delicious food. Unique experience inside the restaurant.

I ate breakfast only. It was a good, basic and cheap option. Staff very friendly and flexible on making changes to the order. Very affordable as simple breakfast should be. I’d be interested in coming back to try their Mediterranean food.

I ordered a lamb gyro with feta and it was so delicious. It tasted so fresh and the hummus on the gyro was the best I’ve ever had. The only thing I didn’t like we’re the French fries. They tasted just like Arby’s curly fries which I love but I would’ve liked some fresh cut fries or maybe another option to go with my gyro that was more authentic.

There is a train in this restaurant. Enough said! We actually just needed to use the restroom but stayed when we saw the train! We ordered some tostados and some fried rice fritters. Happy hour is all day! Fun little restaurant!

This was a great place in Old San Juan to get a falafel. A unique restaurant in that the train bring you food if you sit at the counter. Friendly service & quick. Good vegetarian options.

This place hit the spot. Lamb gyro and falafel gyro were both very good. I’m picky about falafel and this was perfect. Also had some actual veggies in it something I didn’t eat much of in the traditional Puerto Rican restaurants.

I had a coffee here and it was the best coffee I have had in a while, their owner Eddy is a great and kind man, who in addition I found oimut he actually took a class dedicated to brew coffee, and it all made sense. Looking forward to try their food! The train system is cool, and the environment feels Tunisian

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, prompt service, and very good, reasonably priced food. Sit at the counter, and a train delivers your food – our kids loved this! The coffee was excellent too! The kids had french toast with sausage, the grownups had chicken shawarma and falafel. Both very good.

The restaurant is Arab style. Its a very nice place to come and eat good food in a good price range. They have a little train that brings the food to the clients, my little sister was in love with that.

My favorite place to eat in OSJ. The food is not pointlessly overpriced like some other places in the area, the waitstaff is courteous and hardworking, the owner (from Tunisia) is present and believes in his business. I have breakfast and coffee here every morning, happy to support.

We went here three times while in Old San Juan — twice for breakfast and once for lunch. Great, inexpensive place, tasty food, delicious frappes — Nutella, Oreo and passion fruit were our favorite. And the best café con leche (coffee with milk) around. For lunch we had shawarma, hummus and falafel — authentic Middle Eastern. Friendly and quick service.

My family really liked this restaurant. I had the pasta, which had chicken and it was some of the best I’ve ever had. My husband had the catch of the day with vegetables and the breaded herb coating was perfect. Good service and reasonable prices for a tourist zone. Just the right of flavoring on everything.

There arent many affordable places to eat something different in old san Juan– they have pasta, fish but imalways order falafel sandwhich (my bf has the lamb gyro) and we share the hummus with pita.
