    Falafel plate with hummus and ranch
    Jay T.

    I wanted to try something new over lunch, so I popped into Ahki's. It bills itself as serving "New York street food." Upon considering the menu, it's definitely middle eastern cuisine with falafel, gyros, pitas and the like. I ordered the Falafel Plate and a Diet Coke. Beautifully tender and deliciously flavorful saffron rice nestled alongside a crisp, fresh salad of iceberg, onions, tomatoes, black olives and pepperoncini forms the base of the dish. Three massive falafel were on top, drizzled with a delicious ranch sauce. Everything was absolutely delicious! A whole round of super soft pita, a side of hummus and ranch dressing were included in the bag. Everything was so good! I'll definitely be back!

    suggested by a friend I tried Ahkis: If you haven't been to Ahkis yet, stop what you're doing and go. This spot is serving up Mediterranean street food with a bold New York edge, and it's seriously next level. I ordered the Ahki Burrito with lamb, "all the way," and added their signature spicy sauce--and wow. First off, the basmati rice inside is beautifully aromatic and perfectly cooked, acting as the perfect base to soak up all the flavor. The lamb? Juicy, tender, and full of that deep, spiced richness you want in a Mediterranean protein. The toppings bring serious freshness and texture--crisp veggies, creamy sauces, and tangy notes that cut through the richness in all the right ways. And the spicy sauce? Absolute magic. It's got a real kick but it's layered with smoky, savory heat that ties everything together. You feel it, but it doesn't overpower--it elevates. The balance in this burrito is kind of wild. Every bite hits different, but it's all cohesive. It's street food, but thoughtfully crafted. Comforting, yet bold. You can tell this isn't just fast food--it's passion wrapped in foil. Can't wait to go back and try more. The flavor game here is strong.

    Ahkis is the truth! If you're looking for authentic NY style Mediterranean food look no further. The owner is helpful on how to order, and is one of the friendliest people. The food was delicious, and it was a lot of food for the price you pay. Make sure to get lots of sauce and if you can handle it, the spicy sauce packs a punch adding another depth of flavor to what you're ordering

    Lamb Pita Roll Up

    Recently moved down from Philly and was nostalgic for a gyro wrap. This hit the spot. Quick service from a friendly face. Portion sizes were good and the environment was as advertised. The lamb roll up I tried had a good amount of lamb with fresh veggies and a good amount of white sauce. I'll have to come back and try a platter.

    Tried this New York Style Street food spot and it was really good! They are located 20th street downtown which I was glad for another restaurant in this area. Of course you deal with parking downtown but I got lucky with a spot. Upon arrival it's an outside eating area which is always a plus. The food is served buffet style. I selected the platter with chicken. You have a choice of chicken, steak or lamb. Also your pick of salad items. The lady showed me the regular or large selection of platter but I didn't see the price difference listed so I went with regular. They had can or bottle drinks available. This food looks and taste amazing. The food was fresh and well seasoned. Can't wait to go back!

    2 meat platter

    Delicious!! I got the 2 meat platter and it was great. The secret sauce and the lava sauce was the perfect match. Everything was seasoned very well. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Great visit!!

    The gyro was great but skip the hummus. It had no salt and really bad texture. Staff was friendly.

    Have mercy

    The Best!!! Bham's first (to my knowledge) New York style Mediterranean food....Man it was sooo good! It was extremely slow when I came in for lunch & the young lady serving me was so kind & very friendly I ordered the combo platter you can choose two proteins so I got steak & lamb both were fork tender next you add whatever toppings you like & they cover it in a white sauce (other sauces are available all housemade) I can't describe the taste you'd have to try it yourself they offer other menu items so I'll definitely be back you get a lot of good & it's worth every penny they also stay open later on the weekend like 2ish! I'm old so I won't be out that late but it's good to know! IF you love Mediterranean food I highly recommend this spot

    Lamb platter

    Came here during their grand opening and I was not disappointed!! I love a good lamb platter that's full of flavor and this one definitely did the job. Nice size establishment with inside and outside seating. Workers are super friendly and funny. Their ingredients are fresh and delicious.

    One of my favorite places. The large combination plate is enough for two. And the homemade hot sauce is delicious

    I was craving cheesecake. I never crave cheesecake. I browsed yelp for some recommendations but…read morenothing blew my mind. I ended up coming to Costas since it's really a staple in my area. I wanted cherry cheesecake ( I looooove cherries) but they were out of cherries, so I ended up with strawberry instead. The slice size was adequate and tasty. Price point @ $7 a slice was reasonable. The to go service was pretty fast & friendly.

    I've eaten here on several occasions but never left a review until now. Shameful. I visited here…read morebecause I wanted to try their pastichio, only to discover it's no longer on the menu. My server, who was super friendly and helpful, stated that the Hoover location still serves it but due to the lengthy process it takes to make it, this location does not offer it anymore. While I was disappointed to find this out, my food made up for it. At my server's suggestion, I ordered the baked ziti lunch special for $10.95. The special came with salad and a breadstick and a healthy serving of baked ziti. I wanted Greek dressing with my salad, but quickly realized that that was not the right choice. It looked more like balsamic vinaigrette and was very tart. I usually eat Greek dressing when dining out but maybe theirs is.....very unique. Maybe I received the wrong dressing. All I know is I couldn't finish my salad because of it. The breadstick was warm and comforting and the baked ziti was very rich and cheesy. It was a delicious and robust choice that didn't break the bank and helped to ease my disappointment on missing out on the pastichio. The server (who kept saying she had been there for 18 years) was excellent albeit really talkative. Not necessarily a bad thing so don't think that it is. There's something nostalgic about this restaurant. It's older but it's still in good shape. It's a huge place with plenty of seating as the place is never crowded the times I've been on the weekend. As an introvert, I actually appreciate that fact. I'll definitely return as I always do when I'm in the mood for rich Italian cuisine.
