Ordered to go a lamb gyro bowl,…read moreside of seasoned fries, and three types of wings: garlic Parmesan, spicy buffalo, and lemon pepper. The chicken was fried perfectly (like some of the best crispy wings), seasoned exceptionally well. The lamb bowl was everything. The fries were like Cajun or checkers fries lol, GREAT! Fresh ingredients across the board. I can only imagine how tasty everything is if I would have dined in and didn't have to reheat anything. I only saw 2 folks during my time in the restaurant but they were collectively kind, informative (answered my questions and was patient while I made a call to confirm wing flavors lol) and cooked everything what seemed to be fresh to order. The restaurant was neat and tidy. I live in DC and if ever in the area, would stop here to take food home if we needed to make a food stop.

We entered for great food and a break from the chilly outdoors and got one of the two…read more I'll skip to the service and the food. The hostess was good, she wanted to seat us in an enclosed section, saying it was warmer. The waitress returned to our table often and met all of our needs. The food was yummy and fresh. I enjoyed bringing some home to eat the next day. This restaurant should have 3 dollar signs because 95% of the entrees are over $30. One star is lost for atmosphere. No matter how nice the decor was, needing my coat and scarf to eat indoors was ridiculous. You see the reason we weren't seated in the warmer section (the hostess's words) was because the owner told her to seat us elsewhere. We learned that he was the owner when our waitress gave us rice pudding from Rudy. We didn't complain and that pudding almost earned the star back. UNTIL my husband stopped at a room heater that was positioned away from our table. Ugh

I bought a Groupon as a birthday gift for myself because I saw the deal and wanted to try something…read morenew. Initially my waiter was the bartender who was running around taking tables indoors and outdoors. I watched and observed him and another person who was working on the floor. She had maybe 3 tables. It took some time for him to come and introduce himself but I could see that he was swamped. Eventually I got a glass of red wine after I placed my dinner order. He brought me white wine first but maybe he didn't hear when I asked for the angora red. No problem. I ordered the Mediterranean salad with feta cheese and French fries. I ended up having 2 glasses of red wine. I used my Groupon with no problem. I think the service could have been better. I ended up closing out with the server Anna and we had a nice conversation about life and astrology. I will certainly return and have some lamb chops and try the Turkish coffee. I enjoyed the ambience, the traditional turkey decor and lighting was very engaging. Best kept secret in Howard county in a quiet business district.

We had lunch at Mezeh at the Bowie, Maryland location today. It has been a few years since I have…read morebeen to a Mezeh restaurant. It was a great experience. The food was delicious. The server gave us large food portions. The workers were friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was clean. The bathrooms were clean. The restaurant has a fun and trendy ambiance. Lots of parking but due to the way the shopping area is designed you may have to walk a little bit to get to the parking. I downloaded the Mezeh smart phone app while I waiting in line to place my food order and I got $5 off by downloading the app. I will be back for sure!

We've been fans of their original location in Silver Springs and happy to see they are expanding…read moreall over the DMV. The Columbia location is the largest so far with ample indoor and outdoor seating. Called in order for pick up and it was seamless and was ready as promised. Gyro platter, Spanakopita, Dips trio, And Gyro Bowl. I would say they have one of the best Spanakopitas in the area! Big Greek (Feta) fries are also the best. Fiesty Feta dip didn't disappoint and they are so generous with the tasty Gyro meat portion. This location is consistent with the quality that we're used to from the original location. Pickup service was fast and seamless and Trinity took great care of us. Make this stop when in Columbia for some of the best Greek in the DMV!

The salmon was so tender, flaky and satisfying. I will definitely go back and try more of their menu. The salmon took about 20 mins to prepare but the wait was worth it! The dining area was on par with similar kabob purveyors, decent and industrial, no nonsense. I love seafood so anytime an establishment does a fine job with any fish, I'm gonna like them!

Walked into Keratsini Greek Kitchen on a random weeknight and low‑key wished I lived down the…read morestreet, because this gyro and fries combo was kinda dangerous. Grabbed the lamb/beef gyro with a side of Keratsini fries and it smacked. Pita was soft and warm, meat was juicy and seasoned right, and the tzatziki was super fresh and garlicky, not that bland grocery‑store stuff. Only knock is I wouldn't complain about a little more meat in there, but flavor‑wise it's fire. The real problem? Those Keratsini fries. Hand‑cut, salty, tangy, crispy, basically "don't plan on sharing" fries. I could 100% pull up just for those and a drink. Vibe is chill, order at the counter, staff is friendly and actually seem happy you showed up. Food came out quick, place felt clean, and it's perfect for a casual pull‑up after errands or work. Overall, easy 4.5 out of 5 - gyro is legit, fries are addictive, and I'd absolutely swing back through Annapolis just to run this meal back.

For a couple of months my friend, who is of Turkish heritage and lives out in Germantown, wanted to meet me closer to my home to go to Cazbar. We went on Saturday, 9/6/25 for lunch (lunch prices are better as why I shot for lunch time). We walked in, and it was fancy Middle Eastern decor. Server was nice & efficient answering questions. I got their take on flatbread pizza called Lamb Pide. Wow, the lamb and pizza as a whole was amazing. My friend got some more expensive platter, which looked good. If I came back, I'd maybe get something like what he got. My friend (& me to a lesser extent) were cogitating on getting a dessert. I think me saying we ate a lot, it's extra calories, & prices are pretty high for dessert, ended up swaying him not to get dessert. Plus, there was a Greek festival and might get a baklava or other dessert there, which I did. Overall, my impression was wow, this place is impression, and I want to go with my girlfriend one of these days, maybe on a weekend before a movie at AMC Columbia or something.

The birthday dinner was so much fun. We ordered the Sultan's Platter, a three-course shared meal…read morethat was both hearty and meat-centric. It included a variety of mezze, followed by an entree featuring two types of chicken, two types of beef, shrimp, and salmon, and concluded with ​Baklava for dessert. The food was well-seasoned with generous portions. Additionally, the alcoholic beverages were fresh, creative, and strong, with a wide variety of options available. The only thing is that it was super loud and the belly dancing lasted approx 30 mins so if you make a resy during the allotted time you can easily miss it like we did. I would definitely give it another shot, arriving on time!
