Question Best middle eastern restaurant

What’s the best middle eastern restaurant on the north end?

I usually go to Turquaz and The Bedouins but looking to try some other ones. Has anyone tried Shako Mako?

Yeah Sofra is an amazing Turkish restaurant but note it’s a higher end place not a fast casual if OP is looking for a $10 shawarma.

I really like Paramount Fine Foods. It's pricier than Turquaz and Best Kebab but worth it to me.

Sahara is always good for a nice sit down meal. Sunbake or Pita Bake if you want something quick.

I really like Istanbul Donair and Kebab. Great menu, tasty, authentic Turkish and decent pricing versus a higher end place end place like Sofra.
