What, what, what? Seriously, stop reading this review and go to Brindi's immediately! Wow... We had the sampler platter, which was yum and then some. Crazy delicious Baba ghanoush. (I will share some of the completely pretentious, but true comments circulating at our table.) "I haven't had eggplant this good since Santorini." And the mushrooms. "Diners in Istanbul would be jealous of this dish. I had amazing mushrooms at that fab little place near the Blue Mosque, but these are now my fave stuffed mushrooms in the world." Yeah , Snowbirds, the chicken kebab is healthy and flavorful, but, "The lamb will transport your taste buds." Our desert was a Dubai delight. "The only thing that would make this dish more delightful and decadent would be to dust it with flakes of 24 carat gold." Oh, and the staff is AMAZING We discussed climbing over the fence and pitching a tent in their garden on the way home. Fellow Foodies, Brindi's puts Green Valley on the current gastronomical map of Southern AZ. P.S. Dear Brindi's, have you thought about adding a few weekend brunch items? read more

Food is delicious! Beautifully prepared and well seasoned. They have a small indoor dining space and a pretty large patio for dining al fresco, which features live music. The entire staff is friendly and respectful. I ordered the shukshuka starter, but it arrived after the entrees, which made it harder to share as my companions were already enjoying their meals too much to backtrack, lol. I had the chicken kebab and it was really excellent! I will definitely go back! read more

Stopped in for lunch one afternoon while in town. A small eatery, with a small interior dining space with a large outdoor area. It was a nice sunny afternoon so we sat in the outside seating area table with and umbella, a friendly and kind staff. A concise menu, thats very navigable with traditional mediterrean and turkish dishes. Started with the fresh hummus and bread, it was very good and a solid start to our afternoon. The the lamb kebabs seemd in order for lunch, served off skewer in a cast iron skillet, it was good and rich flavors but the lamb was a little tough. Overcooked most likely. The side salad was fresh and well made. The entire staff and owners are kind and gracious, and took good care of us 3.5 Stars rounded up for the kind staff 01159 read more

Cute Spot, Attentive Servers and Amazing Food!! I found this amazing Jim when I was traveling to Tucson. The bistro itself is very cute, airy and open. The waitresses are very attentive and quick. We were just two people but we ordered feast not realizing the quantity of the food. The house bread was amazing. The sampler platter everything was delicious. My favorite voice babaghanouj. We ordered the fish which was lacking some flavor but was deliciously smoky. The chicken kebabs were amazing so soft and melts in your mouth. The lamb Kota and chicken Kota were both very very delicious. The meat was the meatballs were tasting amazing and the veggies were char and slightly sour I think from tomatoes. Overall, this is amazing place to enjoy delicious dinner. read more

Recommendation: if money is of no consequence... then yes. We just moved here from Turkey a few years back so we're certainly apprised of the cuisines, flavors, styles and quality. This place does it very, very well. With several dishes, standard hot Turkish tea, it was a pleasant meal for the wife and I, all to expectations from the origin country! Presentation: The restaurant suffers however with decidedly minimal indoor seating, and the outdoor seating has an unrefinement to it including a lot of building/trash/surplus supplies off to the side of the main fence. The seating issue is the main problem and here in Tucson, you need more coverage, cooling etc.etc. and conversely, in the cooler days, there's limited heat. The inside dining is extremely compacted and very limited spacing. The Food: Extremely wonderful and on par with original Turkish cuisine, hands down. Lovely assortment of common dishes and the five or so various meals and deserts we sampled were stunning delicious. Unfortunately, this high quality meal, is certainly short on volume - for the price. Again, be mindful of the menu, it'll surprise you. Should you? Yes. Try it out. The customer service is also very note worthy. They are trying very hard and the quality and health of the food choices here are much better compared to the caloric and fat-laden food(s) of America. read more

Glad we stopped by for lunch after a morning in Madera Canyon - the food was delicious and filled us right up! We decided to try one of their pides and a wood fired entree to share. I've never had a pide before and really enjoyed it - it reminded me of a flatbread/open faced calzone. We ordered the spinach one which was filled with cheesy goodness in addition to spinach, bell peppers, and onions. For the wood fired entree, we had the chicken shish kabob which came with a side of rice and pita bread. The chicken was so juicy, tender, and flavorful. We dipped the homemade pita bread in the seasoned oil mixture that was in the shish kabob plate. The meal was filling, but we decided to order pistachio and walnut baklava to go because it sounded/looked so tempting. There were so many choices on the menu that we wanted to try so we will definitely back the next time we're in the area. read more

Brindis is a small restaurant that caters to the local seniors. I've never seen a family there. On some nights they have live music in a large outdoor area. My 96 yo mom loves this place. I find the kabobs dry and a little tough. So you'll need to judge this one yourself. read more

Same name. Completely different restaurant. Service was excellent. And the patio is beautiful. Would like to experience the live music and happy hour, however the food. I ordered the hummus. Huge portion. Came with a basket of bread- the problem the bread was literally raw dough in the middle. The first few bites I thought it was melted cheese because it was warm but then something was just off- totally raw dough. Bummer. read more

I am only giving you a one star review because it is ridiculous to deny a PAYING customer an item off your menu! All I wanted was a "pita" to enjoy the big sampler but I was told NO! Sorry, we only make a certain amount & can't "give" them to customers! First & foremost I was NOT asking to be given a pita bread, I was expecting to pay! Nonetheless, my first and last time! Which is really too bad, as your sampler platter was good. Not your server's fault as they were very nice about everything, but they don't need to apologize for an owner! p.s. This is all too bad, as the place is quite quaint! read more

Great Turkish food, fun music. I believe in supporting our local businesses, and I HIGHLY recommend this local restaurant.

Dad wanted to eat here, so we ordered take out. We got the chicken casserole; very greasy, and it was probably equivalent of one chicken thigh cut up in the dish. the arugula salad was wilted, but very delicious, and amazing vinaigrette!! I ordered the spinach pide with no cheese, and i really loved it!! I will say the portions are very skimpy for the prices, but tasted pretty good. I tried the hibiscus tea, and i loved that also!! the service was great, and very friendly!! Amazing aroma when i walked in with a wood burning oven which was super neat!! Sister said the baklava didn't taste authentic, so theres that. read more

My wife and I had lunch here recently. The service was great and the food was tasty. The decor was pleasing. The menu had many great choices to choose from and the sides were varied. We would definitely recommend this place. read more

With reservations for four at 5PM we arrived about 5 minutes early were offered to sit wherever we wanted. We selected a table in the outside area. The waitress was responsive as there was no one else in the place and took drink orders. As this restaurant specializes in Mediterranean food I ordered a Turkish beer, my wife ordered a diet Coke and the other couple ordered wine. The waitress came back for our food order. Both my wife and I ordered Garlic Shrimp and a side of rice. It's been about 2 or 3 years since we've been to Brindis and were excited about renewing the same order that we had enjoyed so much. I was ready for another Turkish beer and was told there was none available. Apparently I had consumed their entire inventory of Turkish beer with one bottle. Our food was delivered to our table and it looked a little different. The rice is now a brilliant yellow rather than the white from before. The Garlic Shrimp was covered with a sticky red sauce and accompanied with a lonely slice of lemon and 2 Garlic Cloves. The lemon looked so dismal that I pushed it aside and considered the Garlic Cloves. I ate one and was totally surprised when I found absolutely no taste. Certainly this is not possible. I ate the second and found it to be the same Where does Brindis get tasteless garlic? Overall, this was an experience so different than our previous one 2-3 years ago that at the end we left dissappointed and $48 poorer. read more

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Green Valley. The staff are warm and friendly, and the food is superior, both in terms of offering different choices and taste. I thought all of our dishes had amazing flavor. I highly recommend giving Brindis a try, especially if you have never tried Turkish offerings! read more

First time trying Turkish Mediterranean food, as any first timer with any new foods I was nervous to try something new, but! I was not disappointed at all, I left very satisfied. I recommend to give Brindis a try, Laurie the owner is very welcoming and helpful. If you are a first timer ask your server for recommendations or if you happen to se Laurie, as her as well! read more

So you ask why the one-star rating when I have never eaten there; so here's the story... I spent several days rounding up a party of six to have an early dinner (about 3:30PM) there yesterday (7/11) only to find they were closed when we arrived. The sign on the door read "We decided to close at 2PM today". I SUGGEST YOU CALL BEFORE GOING THERE TO SEE IF THEY ARE HONORING THEIR POSTED OPEN TIMES. read more

This was our first time eating at Brindis Bistro. It was very good! It is a small venue but it has an additional outside eating area that was very relaxing with live music. We had the garlic shrimp, babaganoush and, tabbouleh appetizers. For our entrees pita sandwiches and shrimp shish kebabs. Everything was hot, fresh and flavorful. I wish we would have taken more pictures. We will definitely be back. read more

Food is amazing. The new patio is refreshing and service was great! The portions were huge.

Made the trip from Tucson to try this place out and it did not disappoint. We had tzatziki with bread for appetizer, lamb kabobs and ground beef pide with cheese for entrees. The lamb was tender and flavorful. The pide dough was thin and ground beef mixture was very good. For desert, we had pistachio baklava and sekerpare, SO GOOD I got an order to go as well. The staff worked hard to take care of all the tables. read more

Had a most delicious meal at Brindis this evening. I had the house salad with salmon and it was a perfect portion and the salmon was so good! My friend had the eggplant appetizer and the veggie pasta and both were exceptional. I think it's the best restaurant food in Green Valley and the staff are wonderful! Highly recommend!!! read more

We had a party of 5. Three of us got most of their order. The other two in our party waited at least 7 to 10 minutes before we got our order. The remainder of the order was finally delivered to the first 3 In our part. We had asked for extra napkins to dry off the appetizer plates. No response from the waiter we asked. Her response was, we don't have enough plates. The plates are coming right out of the dishwasher. The quality of the food, with the exception of the dish, was mediocre at best. Two in our party asked for another beer. Served COLD. The girl waitress brought the beer, but no glasses. "We are ought of clean glasses ." Don't waste your money!! read more

Very small restaurant inside with many tables outside. Food had good flavors and portions are adequate to large. Service is slow and very hard to get the attention of your server. Pide's are large and very tasty. Shish kabob was overcooked and did not match items listed in the menu. Too much oil in shish kabob and not used to having the ingredients swimming in oil. read more

We sat on the patio, servers were very nice, food smelled great and the Friday night music was the perfect addition. Loved the spinach and feta. Our salmon had a tasty seasoning on top and was prepared nicely. They serve toasted pitas with the hummus and it was unexpected and enjoyable. We took some baklava to go and it did not disappoint! Will definitely be back. read more

Brindis is an excellent addition to Green valley since our last visit. My parents and their friends who live here have all been enjoying it too. We started with the appetizer sampler to share and discovered any one of the starters would be wonderful on its own. Everyone's entree was absolutely delicious, from meatballs, to lamb, and the trout! The portions are generous and the bread that is served with everything is delicious. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating, obviously working hard to please everyone in the restaurant. It's relatively small inside, but they are working to expand the size. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone in the area! read more

We've been wanting to come here since it opened and finally we made it. We should have been eating here a long time ago. First off, it's sized in classic middle eastern style, about 6 tables inside and a nice outdoor patio of about a dozen or so more. This is definitely ambience for the cuisine that deserves a high-five. Smart. The staff are super friendly and also, traditional in how they treat the customer. You are 100% valued and you aren't overwhelmed with service. It's discreet and kind. We love that. The wood fired oven is SUPER cool and fully professional. Loved watching stuff go in and come out and the chef working openly, without ego. Just doing what he does best. So it's definitely a place for small gatherings, definitely romantic, definitely hip. The food is insane great. Since it was 1st visit for us, we let our eyes betray our stomachs. We got appetizers of awesome dolmas, and the amazing mushrooms. Perfect in every way, super flavorful and delicious. We both got the shish kebab, hers was chicken, mine lamb. Hers came in juicy and tender, lovingly spiced and sizzling. Same with the lamb. Spice was perfect. One of the rare times I didn't need salt n pepper, the food simply shines. I got the iced tea because I was driving, old lady loved the vodka cranberry mixer. They also served a beautiful bread with sesame, olive oil and subtle flavors that just let it compliment everything. They seemed sad we didn't want desert; but we got sooo much great food, we couldn't. We promised that next time we will. And there will be a next time, and one after that and another and another....we have found THE spot to take friends or family when they come here to GV. Come, eat, be fulfilled and sent home knowing you found a real diamond in the middle of the desert. Awesome job Brindi's!! Would give way more stars if yelp let me! read more

Ambiance outside, where we sat was extremely pleasant. The service left nothing to be desired. I had the chicken souvlaki with a salad. My husband had the lamb shank with rice. Both were very good. The chicken was very moist & tasty, my only complaint is that it was way more oily than I like. It was actually swimming in oil. We would definitely recommend. read more

this place is horrible. The environment is absolutely unacceptable. You can hear the team mistreating each other and the owners seem to do absolutely nothing about it. The food is disgusting. such a better variety of restaurants out there. do not go to this one. I was sitting where you can see the kitchen. There was people just standing around, and then I saw the way they were handling the food no gloves. It didn't look like they were washing their hands much and I've actually got sick from this place before. So I've just had it zero out of 10 service read more

We just finished a remarkable meal at Brindi's. Well-accustomed to traditional Greek fare, Brindi's puts a wonderful, flavorful, and deliciously surprising twist on some traditional dishes. First, the babaganoush appetizer was perfectly prepared. It was not overly seasoned (garlic), fresh, and was accompanied by a basket of bread which was perfect for scooping up every last morsel. My wife ordered the snapper which, again, was a generous portion that was perfectly prepared and came with a nice variety of seasonal salad and fresh vegetables that were charred (no, they weren't burned) in the wood-fired oven. My dish, however, was the standout. The server talked me out of the beef & lamb meatballs for the evening's special: moussaka, one of my favorites. OMG! The unique seasonings and beautiful presentation elevated this dish to become one of the best things I've eaten in a very long time. If this is on the menu when you come, ORDER IT!! Sadly, we had no room for dessert. However, the oohs and aahs we heard from other tables when their desserts arrived made us wish we indulged. Regarding the service, it was spot on and presented by some of the most eager-to-please and friendly people you can imagine. We will be back to Brindi's Bistro soon. read more
