“ the vibes inside this restaurant are really nice, the servers are very attentive and the food was pretty good! my friend and i absolutely loved the lamb shawarma bowl (i forgot if that was what it was called) but it def filled us up and was extremely delicious. the only bad thing i have to say is the price point, i went in without looking at the menu beforehand and trusted google saying it would be $20-30 pp but its more like $30-50 as their main dishes are more in the 30-50 range and their apps are $20-30, me and my friend ended up splitting the apps and main to save money, but that bowl was worth, would come back js for that bowl. ”
“ Miriam was wonderful! The couscous in the La La Tangine was like delicious snow melting in our mouths. The staff was so friendly, and the vibe was warm and comfortable. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy great food. ”
“ Came in for a late lunch on a Friday, and we were the only table at that hour and it felt nice and super relaxed. Service was as a result fast and attentive. We got the chicken shawarma and quesadillas, and they were both very tasty. Especially love the quesadillas. The pancake was super crispy and flaky, and kinda tasted like the Chinese scallion pancake. The chicken shawarma has a generous portion and the meat was very flavorful. Great food and will come back. ”
“ Miriam is such a great spot. The food is delicious, the portions are generous (perfect for sharing between two), and the flavors are incredible. The pitas are honestly some of the best I’ve had. We tried the chicken shawarma, which was wonderful. It comes with rice and a small Israeli salad, and everything was seasoned beautifully. The service was excellent, super attentive and kind. They also offer special menus for Jewish holidays like Rosh Hashanah, which is a really nice touch. Price-wise, it’s not cheap, but it’s absolutely worth it for the quality. Overall, just a really good restaurant, great food, great service, and one I’d happily come back to once they finish renovating their original location. ”
“ First time dining here and we had a great experience! The falafel starter was my favorite! We also tried the Hummus & Mushroom Shawarma and the Chicken Schnitzel, all very tasty. The atmosphere is very quiet, and the service was very friendly. I will definitely come back (: ”
