This Rockville location is so new, it doesn't even appear on the locations section of their website yet - but, you can order from the Rockville restaurant through the website.

The menu features gyros, sandwiches, platters showcasing various meats or falafel over rice, and chicken wings. One of the specialties they are known for is their fried fish gyro, based on one of the founders' grandmother's recipe. Look for Naz's Halal next to Shiseido at Edmonston Crossing.
