Arguably, the best falafel and shwarma wraps in Andersonville are served at what looks like a lemonade stand inside a shabby storefront. Don't be deterred by the atmosphere, this is a great place for lunch or dinner under $5, and is hailed by locals. Dolmades, hummus and babaganouj plates (large plate of dip garnished with paprika and olive oil served with hot pita) are great starters or entrees in themselves. In the winter, don't miss the heaping bowl of lentil soup with exotic, almost sweet spices. You also can't go wrong with the delicious wraps containing chicken, beef or falafel accompanied by lettuce, fresh tomato and a tahini sauce that seals the deal. For dessert, the traditional baklava with honey and pistachios complete an inexpensive, delicious dining experience.

I bet you cannot eat just one shwarma wrap. They are delicious! The hummus plate rounds out the meal and your out of there for $7. You can't beat that. The ambience is what it is. Strike up a conversation, watch the TV or take your meal to go. Just enjoy the food.
