It has an extensive menu selection of Mediterranean food and friendly staff. I would have to say that the dips are the star of the show. Getting a combination of a couple or doing one of their platters that gets you a variety is key. The pita bread comes out hot and you can easily share with friends and debate on the best one. The grilled platter we got was also good. The meat wasn't as juicy as I would have liked it, but it hit the Mediterranean flavors well. The rice was more sweet and dry than I typically like my rice, but went well with the meal. The day after it was not good at all though, so that got some point deductions for me. Overall, if you're craving Mediterranean at a chill spot, it's not bad, but it's not the best. I would say 3.5 overall, but 4 for the dips.

The salad will be always fresh and everything is portioned just right. Quality food with a great taste! I had made the mistake to order from the other place thinking the quality would be the same as here! So be careful to order from anywhere else -because this is the ONLY original Mediterranean place in Madison to order from! I highly recommend it for the atmosphere, the staff, the food, and the devotion that I've repeatedly seen and tasted! Definitely a great experience all around either dining in or getting delivery! Highly recommended from a longtime customer. My favorite is the lamb Shawarma plate and the yummy tea. the pistachio baklava! Yummy !!

Good taste hummus was good. Salad was good. Eat it fresh and hot. that's the best. I took it home 20 minutes away and it was still good but it didn't have that hot fresh deliciousness so you're better off to eat it there. Have you got a travel for 30 minutes but I ate it nice and slow and I was able to cut it with the silverware they gave me the plasticware with a knife. See, I look forward to going back again. Definitely will try the chicken kebabs and the chicken Shawarma definitely a great place to get real food. Next stop. There's a Turkish place prices are a bit more expensive. Ambience is a bit more fancy, but they have live music and so on. The manager boss man running the cash register was cool and friendly, and he let me trade up the tzatziki sauce for the hummus. That was very nice.

I ordered the Chicken Kebab Plate with a Greek salad, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, the rice was delicious, and the salad was crisp with a generous amount of feta. To top it off, I grabbed some baklava for dessert, and it was amazing. My only complaint? I wish I had gotten more pieces! The staff was friendly, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. Easily a 10/10. No notes. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

They have an elaborate breakfast. They have an amazing dinner for two. It's not cheap. It's a bit pricey, but for the ambience and for how everything is put together just so and to give you the real taste of turkey vibe I think it's worth it totally recommend go for a special event like the breakfast or live music or really anytime you were just for an appetizer or just for something simple, you won't be disappointed life's too short carpe diem

We had reservations at 11:45 AM but since the servers were in the kitchen was not seated until closer to 10 minutes later. After I was seated, I was promptly brought water.

It was a nice sized portion of hummus there was definitely leftover hummus as you were only given a few pieces of small pita. Our server was very kind and very observant when I asked about dishes that were dairy free. She was very helpful on that. The ambience was very quiet, even though there was a a few tables nearby. Really nice ceilings. The food was good. It would be nice if there were more options on the menu as well as dairy free desserts.

The stuffed grape leaves were wonderful- they didn't have meat in them, but the rice filling had the typical Greek seasonings and a nice hint of mint. For my main, I ordered the Chicken Shawarma. It came with either soup or salad and I picked the lentil soup even though it was 95 degrees outside. I thought it was quite good and might try to make at home sometime! The shawarma plate was huge! I think two people could have shared this and sadly, I couldn't finish it all. The pita bread was nice and fluffy and the chicken had a nice taste, although I expected it to maybe have paprika and hummus with it but it did not. The rice was fine - it didn't have too much flavor but was cooked well. Overall, I enjoyed eating here! The restaurant was kind of hot inside. They had fans going but I'm not sure if the air was working or if maybe they don't have air, but it was a little stuffy. Some outdoor seating as well for when it's not so hot outside and the air quality is better (this area was experiencing some smoke from the Canadian wildfires).

They do have a lunch menu as well as their typical menu with both mediterranean as well as Italian options. I opted for their "famous" (their words) falafel sandwich. Maybe I was anchored by their use of "famous" in their description but I was not impressed. The falafel was quite dense and lacked the earthy/herby flavor I was looking for. The tahini sauce also lacked any sort of punch. At $15.99, it simply didn't deliver. It wasn't terrible but also not great. Sure, the complimentary bread was a nice throwback to simpler times. Will it be another 14 years before I return? Who knows but I won't be in a rush for a return visit.
