To start, I stand by this being one of, if not the best shawarma stop in the Syracuse area. We've frequently gotten both the beef and chicken shawarma sandwiches (and on occasion, the falafel as well). However, when we went to pickup we were disappointed to find that they were no longer include a drink in their combo, although it is still listed on their website, in addition to prices being increased. This is certainly new given we last picked up in September where the drink was included and was also confirmed by the man at the front counter who simply said "yeah, we don't include drinks anymore". The flavor was not what it usually was, making us quite sad that our favorite spot is our go to no longer...

I dined here with a coworker a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't been since they opened, but the…read morequality hasn't diminished one bit. Our server was the son who's one of the owners and it's obvious how much he cares about the restaurant and his guests. We really felt taken care of in a way that tands out compared to a lot of restaurants. The dining room was busy but he always took the time to check on us, joke with us, and make us feel absolutely welcome. We both got mocktails. Mine was so flavorful and refreshing, just the right mix of tart and sweet. For our first course we got the spicy feta hummus which is homemade and served with homemade pita. The bread was warmed and very light. The hummus was rich. I loved the kick of the spices and the creaminess of the feta, the exact right amount of heat. For my main I got the fried cauliflower wrap with lentil soup. The soup was warming, well spiced, and perfectly comforting. The wrap was unreal in its flavor. Well seasoned cauliflower fried the exact perfect amount, fresh lettuce and tomato, a creamy sauce. Divine. I was stuffed halfway through but soldiered on because it was so delicious I couldn't put it down. Very reasonably priced as well. Didn't have a bad bite or sip here and I suspect that if I ordered everything on the menu, I'd love it all. This is an outstanding mediterranean restaurant in a city that has no shortage of them. Absolutely worth the drive out to Manlius. Go watch the swans, walk around town, and have a wonderful meal here, you won't regret it.

My wife and I visited Diwan for dinner for the first time last night (7/10/26) after hearing so…read moremany great things about it. We were excited to finally give it a try, and the food absolutely lived up to the hype. This was easily the best Middle Eastern food we've had in Central New York. We started with the hummus appetizer, which was fresh, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the delicious house-made and warm pita. I ordered the beef and lamb gyro, and my wife had the beef kebabs. Both meals were outstanding, and we'll definitely be back for the food. Unfortunately, what keeps me from leaving a five-star review was the service we received from our server, Megan. I'm not sure whether it was because we arrived about an hour before closing or if she was simply having an off night, but from the beginning, the service felt rushed and inattentive, and it never improved. Just a couple of minutes after we were seated, she asked if we were ready to order. When we said we were still looking over the menu, she simply replied, "Okay," and walked away without asking if we had any questions or explaining the menu. My wife had to stop her as she was walking away to ask what drinks were available. A few minutes later, when she returned to take our order, she took our appetizer order and my wife's entrée order while looking around the dining room, said "thank you," and immediately started walking away without taking my order. I had to stop her so I could order my meal. During our meal, while I had my gyro in hand and was about to take another bite, I noticed her standing beside our table preparing the payment terminal. My wife looked at her, the server said "sorry" and then set down the payment terminal on the neighboring table instead. Once we were finished, she handed us the payment terminal and then asked whether we'd like dessert or coffee, after already presenting the check, which felt a bit odd. After I paid, I was in the middle of selecting how I wanted my receipt when she took the payment terminal away before I could finish, leaving me unable to receive an itemized receipt for our meal. The food was exceptional, and we'll absolutely be back because the kitchen deserves every bit of the praise it receives. That said, we'll be requesting a different server next time. The service we experienced tonight was disappointing and didn't match the quality of the food. On a positive note, there was another server working this evening who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I didn't catch her name, but she left a much better impression and reflected the kind of hospitality we were hoping to experience.

Honestly, this isn't the best falafel pita I've had. I found it a little dry - not to say it wasn't fresh, but the pita was very floury and the sauce was hummus or tahini instead of a thinner yogurt sauce and it was very dense - I needed something a little more cooling to balance out the rest. It was satisfying but just not my style. I'd give it another chance and try other items.

Well last night we had our first bad experience, the gyro seemed to have a different taste profile and the fries are 100% different. The gyro was still good but we preferred the original taste profile vs the change ( or new chef). On a normal I would have given them 5 stars, so I only went down one because I am hoping this does not happen again. I would still highly recommend them

Thankfully I saw the Open sign for the Somalian restaurant next door. I walked in to a warm smile by the only woman working in the restaurant. She greeted me and said what I understood to be, she spoke little English. I said, it's okay I will point. We ended up getting the goat rice and Haneed upon her suggestion. This was our first experience with Somalian food and we were in for a treat! The meat so complemented the seasoned rice and were a perfect combination. The sauces that came with the dishes were uniquely seasoned with a hint of spicy garlic, which we loved! We will definitely be returning for other dishes. You should too!

Flavor of India is tucked into a little corner of East Syracuse and you'd miss it if you weren't looking. Staff was friendly and sat us right in front of the fire place on a chilly 20 Degree night. The food took about 15 to 20 minutes and was hot, fresh and flavorful with requests to us on our spice level which I went spicy and didnt regret it (but my body might have) lol. The Biryani portion for $17 was definetly enough for 2 meals and I felt full from about half of it thought that might have been the capsacin. The garlic chili Nana was very interesting because in one bite it cut the heat from my biryani but then hit me with chili and the spice came back. About $50 for 2 people w/ 2 entrees, naan, and water. A little pricier than what you might want for just 2 people but the food's taste and size make up for it. Would definetly go back.
