Wanted a quick easy dinner with flavor and that's what I was rewarded with at this Mediterranean dining establishment. They seemed rather chaotic when I arrived and it appeared that one very pleasant gentleman was literally juggling and balancing all of the customers! He did offer his apologies more than once because it seemed a guy like me sitting alone in the corner was almost an afterthought. He did explain the soups ... I went for the chicken soip and had already decided on the beef schwarma. The chicken soup was reminiscent of a good Jewish Deli chicken soup with enough goodies in the broth and big chunks of chicken yet the broth was the star. The schwarma was really good too. Somewhat different than others I have enjoyed but different in a good sense A small container of food tasting hummus completed the meal At check out ... well with more than one set of apologies I was an afterthought. read more

Azar's Mediterranean Cuisine - Mediterranean Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I'm surprised I haven't written a review before now. My husband and I have been going to Azar's since they first opened. We have always had great service. Friendly greetings as soon as you enter and we are always quickly seated. 5 star-Gyro and fries are tasty and like comfort food. 5 star- burgers. Full of flavor and the bun is perfect and the fixin's are fresh. 5star- kabobs. The steak is trendy and juicy. The salmon is cooked perfectly. The chicken is also good but I'm wild about the beef and salmon kabobs. Great place for a date or meeting a friend. Great to hang out and talk .Such an enjoyable experience read more

Very friendly service, from the greeting to the ordering and refilling of water. Service was great. We started with a hummus platter to share then I had a gyro pita and my husband had a gyro platter. Both were great but the highlight for me was the tahini sauce. If I could have bought a bottle from them I would have. So good. read more

Azar's is close to where I work so I stop in a couple of times a month. The service is always friendly and the food is delicious. My favorite items on the menu are falafel and their gyros. On this particular day I noticed that they had a salmon gyro on the specials board. Decided to try it and now I'm sat here wishing that it was alway on the menu. I hope to see this on the special board again soon. read more

Awesome comfort food. Love this place. I've been dining here for years and they continue to make it a special experience.

We love the food. The kebabs are great along with the pilaf is our favorite. We also like the Mediterranean pizza.

4th time here, traveling 1.5 hrs to come here. Ambiance is relaxing, Irving, our waiter for 2rd time is absolutely terrific! Attentive, excellent service and very pleasant and funny Have tried several of their dishes, today being the Entre size Greek salad (huge) with side of Gyro, awesome!!! And my partner the gyro platter with half chicken....Delicious!!! Prices are VERY reasonable. Fav Greek Restaurant for us! read more

Mmmm.....Mmmm.....good. So fresh and flavorful and delicious. I went for lunch on a Monday afternoon and at 12 they already had quite a few tables but we were sat right away. I started with the Pick your Pair and ordered the Chicken Tawook Wrap and the Greek Salad. My friend had the Chicken Kebab Platter. The food came out so fast!!! I am sure that's because it is lunch time and people have to get back to work so I did appreciate the speed. So good! The Chicken Tawook Wrap was crispy on the outside with such fresh ingredients on the inside. There is a reason why it is a "Customer Favorite." Greek salad was fresh and delicious. We did order a turkish coffee and a baklava since November 17th is National Baklava Day. That is some strong coffee and will keep you up for hours! So many good options on the menu...I definitely want to try the Gyro. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options and a kids menu. Definitely recommend and I will be back. read more

First time for this Azar location which was added after their original off Prescott. They are located in the Hilltop Shoppes. Surface parking is plentiful and was debris free. I was greeted by the hostess at lunch and asked about the bar for food. Bartender Alex said typically bar is drinks only for lunch, but they were not busy and allowed. The bar is tiny so I understand. Service was strong and friendly with Alex getting me a water and order of Lamb Burger & fries. The wait was no more than 20 minutes. It was nice to chat with Alex about the business and family history. Their baked goods are made in-house at the other site and transported to Hilltop. They have a display case up front. My sandwich was good, not sure I would get again. I also ordered a carrot cake for desert which was yum! Recommend! Strong service and above average sandwich with scrumptious desert. Need to get back and try more. read more

My first time at the Hilltop location. The Hilltop location has plenty of parking and is well lit inside. Staff was friendly and expeditious. I had dinner with a friend and family, we all enjoyed our respective dishes. I had the chicken tawook which was plentiful and had a hint of vinegar. The chocolate cake was rich, huge and delicious. I had to take the rest home. Their garlic fries are tasty and savory. read more

Day three visiting Va. Beach and Azar's is a must. The restaurant is clean and orderly. Fabulous service, our server was spot on great service and friendly. We started with fries. EVERYONE START WITH FRIES they are awesome. Following the super awesome fries we ordered up a tofu wrap with a peasant salad (delicious) , tuna wrap with house salad (excellent) and a falafel wrap with a Greek salad, (delicious). Azar's never disappoints, every time I eat here I am amazed with the quality and consistency of the food and the generosity of the portions. Again I have to compliment the staff. I only wish I would have saved room for desert, their chocolate cake is by far the best I have ever eaten, guess I'll have to get some next time. read more

While the food was okay, the service wasn't great. My friend and I met here for lunch and it wasn't very busy. The waitress took our order and after bringing drinks and the food in a decent amount of time, she never checked back. Not one quick question about whether the food was okay, no drink refills....nothing. Didn't exactly give us the most welcoming experience. The restaurant isn't that big and she walked by us many times without a word. Weird. *Hilltop location read more

Great lunch spot!!! Had the wrap with the cauliflower soup- the soup was so savory and delicious!!! The sandwich was decent, may pick a different one next time. The food was good and plentiful w unique flavors so definitely will return. The service was fast and efficient, waiter seemed to be handling entire restaurant but did so wonderfully. The room is cute and tastefully appointed. Worth a stop on for a solid lunch meal! read more

Came here with my husband and in-laws after church to celebrate his birthday. This was our first time eating at Azar's but I heard good things and was looking forward to checking it out. We were not disappointed. We ordered the hummus and falafel appetizers, which were delicious. My in-laws ordered the shawarma wraps and enjoyed their meal. My husband ordered the lamb shank platter and was very happy with his meal. I ordered the stuffed eggplant platter and really enjoyed it! All the food was so good. We'll be coming back again. read more

This was a first time visit for me. I must say it was the most I've eaten in one sitting in a long time. Everything was amazing and I am definitely looking forward to visiting again. Our waitress was soooo kind, so helpful and really friendly. She was great and I hope to get her again. I was a little bummed that they had some chick-un (vegan) dishes listed on their chalkboard but when I went to order them I was told they didn't have anymore chick-un. I definitely will try them when they have more available. Indoor and outdoor seating is available! read more

I had heard about Azar from my hairdresser, the foodie that he is. The staff was very friendly, gave me time to go through their menu with a wide selection from appetizers to entrees to salads to wraps to desserts and various choices of combinations. The salmon kebab was great, moist and full of flavor. I ordered my salmon kebab on a salad. The salad was humongous, had hummus, pita sprinkled with balsamic vinaigrette. The salad had some serious heaping of greens, feta, olives, cucumbers, list goes on. Don't leave without trying their Awesome Lia dessert, it's like baklava with warm mascarpone, honey and pistachios!!! read more

Stopped in for girls dinner! We all split the grape leaves which are by far the best I've had in the area. Two of us got the "Choose 2"- which was choose 2 of soup, salad or wrap. A lot of choices a little overwhelming if you don't have something particular in mind. The other chose the Chicken Tawook which was a lot! I only knocked a star because the pistachio baklava was dry and not that great. Also, not sure- but the desserts all were places in boxes when put away for the night. I know this may be to keep freshness but, from our first impression it appeared as if desserts were boxed not house made as implied. read more

I've been going to Azar's for about a million years now and I don't know that I've ever critiqued the restaurant. It was really a "broke down palace" a few days ago when we stopped in for early dinner. Let's take it from the top: 1.) Lose the fake flowers and plants. They're awful. It's 2023, you can pay a service to maintain your plants if you can't manage. You can also choose to have no plants, which is better than fake plants. Upon MY visit, the fake plants were laying on the ground outside. Nothing says, "We care!" Like fake plants littering the walk outside your restaurant. 2.) Make sure your fountain is working or get rid of it. When we came in last week, the fountain was in disrepair and oh my, is it ever ugly. Personally, I think you need the fountain as it's the only ambience in the place; I mean that's it, a fountain. Fix it, please. 3.) You may be lacking in ambience but the food is delish and very reasonable, until last week. Are you kidding me guys? You DO know that "Baladi" is just across the parking lot?? I had the braised lamb at Azar's for 22. a plate and it was so very bad. Seriously, I'm not trying to be mean; I like this restaurant and would like to see you back in the saddle. Nothing has been good there since COVID. My lamb was so sadly under-seasoned, veggies were clearly frozen (maybe even canned?) and bulgar wheat was thoroughly dried out. Nothing on my plate was even hot. The only thing that gave me solace was the "Ugly Duckling." It was heavenly per usual but, let's face it, you didn't make that. 4.) No bar. If you're not going to have a bar, you best pick up your food game. Again, there's "Baladi" across the way killing it with amazing food and craft cocktails to die for. It's as though "Azar's" just doesn't care! Like you're depending on your stand by locals and they don't matter enough for you to even buy fresh, sweet corn. Where's your pride? Put some fun, sparkling spritzers or something on the drink menu. Better still, get your ABC license. I have to say, with a heavy heart, I won't be going back to this restaurant unless they have a special or a Grand Reopening or the like. I really felt kinda used at my last visit. Just appalling really. I'm very sad. You just cannot hide it when you don't care and right now, for whatever reason(s), "Azar's" doesn't care. read more

This is a hidden gem in Virginia Beach. They have a great menu, but also a to-go counter with desserts and other items! I love their fries they are seasoned with Za'atar and come with an amazing garlic sauce!! My kids and I love the lentil soup, chicken soup, and chicken salad wrap. The chicken soup is not chicken noodle soup, it does not have noodles in it! But it is so comforting and delicious! Just have a slice of pita with it This time I tried the tabbouleh salad which was delicious! So fresh and fragrant, I put it on the soup and the fries too! read more

I hadn't been to this Azar's before, it was pretty good! My waitress, Mary, was really nice and knew the food very well. Food came out really fast and tasted great. I had an appetizer where I got to pick 3 of the other appetizers, called taste of Azar's. The tabouleh was good, but the onions were a little strong. The dolmas, those grape leaf wraps with rice inside, were amazing! The hummus was nice and smooth, tasted like hummus. It didn't blow me away. I thought the portions of hummus and tabouleh were a little stingy for the price ($10). I tried a dish I never had before, called chicken tawook. It's the chicken kebab with lots of spinach, some squash, zucchini, tomatoes, onion, red bell peppers, and baby carrots all covered in tahini and a vinegarette with basmati rice. It tasted really great together and I absolutely killed the veggies and chicken. The rice was cooked just right, I took most of it home. The inside of the restaurant is nice and clean. It's wide open with lots of Windows to look out and a waterfall "wall" in the middle of the dining area. Despite a pretty dining area, the cutlery was cheap, like cafeteria utensils. There is ample parking, though Hilltop has several annoying turn areas and it's confusing where stuff is. Azar's is in "Hilltop West." They have 1 bathroom for men and 1 for women. Bathroom was clean when I visited, but almost out of toilet paper, and completely out of paper towels (they have a lackluster blow hand drier too). read more

This is not Mediterranean food not even close, we started with the server (Mary or something like that) hurrying us along. Came with my two friends for a leisurely lunch on Sunday. We said we hadn't looked at the menu and she said "well look" umm what? Started with the falafel(dry, dry dry), spanakopita (tasty best thing we had) and the sampler (not worth it) For lunch I ordered the beef shawarma but it definitely wasn't that, it had mince ground beef like how is that a shawarma. My friends had the veggie pizza and it was ok, it was just toppings on a prefabricated pita not a fresh dough. Disappointed. Go to other Mediterranean restaurant in the same plaza Baladi cafe is much better. read more

This place gets a bad rap and they shouldn't. Their other location across town is considered better. But this place is just as good. After all, it's the same food. The only thing is hummus and a few cold items are made at their original location daily. Other things like their middle eastern inspired pizzas, burgers, wraps are made here. This place is actually Lebanese, but when you mention Middle Eastern foods, part of Italy, Palestine, Greece, Turkey are extremely close in menu items but their spice are slightly different. After all it's the Middle Eastern region. Just because some of their items are made at the original ( that kitchen is bigger), and from my understanding. Azar's started out as a catering business, was super popular then moved to Hilltop location, because their dining room at their original location can't handle heavy traffic. From my understanding it's an order, pick up and take it to go. To be honest, since the foods the same, and this place definitely has the indoor and outdoor seating, give it a try. read more

Azar's Mediterranean Cuisine - My Big Fat Greek burger. Yum! - Mediterranean Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I ordered a falafel wrap to go, and maybe that's just not their thing ... but it was really bad. The falafel was dry and crumbly, and the toppings inside were very unremarkable. Actually I would say terrible. They literally put dill pickles in it. What ??? Dill pickles, sad romaine, a few tomatoes, and bland hummus. I was looking for traditional flavors, as one would expect from a Mediterranean restaurant. I asked for hot sauce, thinking I would get some sort of harissa... no. I think it might have been Franks red hot. It came with a little cup of hummus on the side and a very cold, nasty slice of pita. I also ordered an oatmeal cookie. It was freezing cold and just sucked. I'll never come here again ‍ read more

Just a few steps from my office is this awesome restaurant that serves Mediterranean food!! I came with coworkers and was seated immediately. They started taking our drink orders and gave us a few minutes to look at the menu. I ordered the Greek salad with a chicken kabob on the side and a pita. It was very good and huge! I couldn't even eat the whole thing. The staff is so very friendly and accommodating. They checked on us every few minutes to see if we needed anything. We will be back to try other items on the menu! read more

Love this place!! Best food and great service! Delicious food! Great variety of menu items. It's nice that there are two location. Both locations are in Virginia Beach. The ambiance in both restaurants is very fitting for a Mediterranean themed restaurant. The location on Prescott Street, off of Bonnie Road, has a little retail area. This allows you to purchase some of your favorite Mediterranean foods and bring them home. Freshly made hummus is a favorite. The restaurant is family owned and has a warm welcome to it. Their grill produces some delicious chicken kabobs, the wraps are tasty, also. The chicken tawook wrap is one of my wife's favorite dishes! Their seasoned French fries are a great addition if you have a craving for a delicious snack/side to your meal. They offer many vegan and gluten free options. Open for both lunch and dinner. The parking is directly on the premises, it tends to fill up at peak mealtimes! Clean and easily accessible parking is available. The Presscott Street location is a bit hidden -it's directly off Bonnie Rd, Recommend turning as soon as you see a gas station. The first time I went to it, I missed the turn, but now that I know where it is, it's "easy-peasy" to get to it. The dessert that's should be saved best for last is their homemade baklava! Pistachio baklava is a favorite! Walnut baklava is a second favorite. Great place my wife and I truly enjoyed this restaurant and will recommend highly! The Hilltop location is easy to get to and a wonderful dining experience also, if you are in that area. Great restaurant choice-either location! read more

So I was talking to a customer at work who kept bringing up their Mediterranean travels so I wanted to get some Greek food and sate my hunger. So I walked in placed my order for a hummus appetizer, a gyro, and some fries. This is the first Greek restaurant that I have ever been to that only does a wrap instead of the platter. First questionable thing. So I pay go out to my car to wait because the place is dead and I don't want to be the awkward guy just sitting there. Food comes out fairly quickly. Best part of the experience. I get home open everything up and notice that the hummus, while a generous portion, came with exactly 1 pita triangle, 5 tomato slices, and 6 pickles with no plastic ware in the bag. Well, that's depressing. So then I move onto the gyro. This is the smallest, saddest gyro I have ever seen. Every other Greek place I've eaten at piles on the meat. This was more tzatziki than meat. Finally, I made it to the fries, they were at least warm and moderately crispy. Just with it was a better portion. I've gotten more fries from McDonald's with a medium order. read more

Overall a pretty good Greek place in Laskin! Very surprised. Even my girlfriend's not so adventurous family thought it was a really good Greek place My favorite is their Moussaka . It filled me up and has fed me 3 meals due to its large portion. I also enjoyed their Mediterranean platter. Dolmades were joocy. Would go again and tell people how good it is!!! read more

One of our fave food spots; so good! I've only discovered this place recently, so haven't dined in (Covid) but the takeout has been super delicious! Just for clarification, they do have outdoor seating available and you can eat indoors as well, but based on my personal comfort level, I haven't yet explored these options; I'm still more comfortable with takeout. One of the main draws for me: they have a large vegan menu. Worth noting: this location has a separate vegan specific menu, their other VA Beach location does not (though the other location still has a few vegan options). As I am vegan and my SO is not, we love finding places where we can both eat and be happy and this is one of those spots. We both agree that the food is so good! My fave is the Beyond Beef Shawarma platter; my SO loves the regular Shawarma platter with lamb and their chicken soup. Even if you're full, don't pass on dessert; def get it to go! For vegans they have amazing chocolate chips cookies and a dessert called the ugly duckling (chocolate and marzipan). My SO swears by the lemon cake! Service is always very friendly and takeout orders are usually ready before the time estimate given. Definitely try this place if you haven't had the pleasure yet! read more
