This place single-handedly changed my opinion on the state of Arkansas LOL!…read more There are places that you eat at and it's one and done; there are places to revisit time and time because you crave it; but Nara? Seeing the pictures alone made me crave something I've never had before, and going there was absolutely phenomenal. I got the loaded lamb roll with fries and my partner the coco mix. We shared hummus and pita. My roll was packed with lamb with white sauce and cheese saucing up the already well seasoned lamb--lettuce and tomato broke the richness of the meat. I dipped my fries in the amazing hummus, so creamy and smooth with some quality olive oil on top. My partner's rice had chicken and lamb meat that was insanely tender and flavorful, the rice complimenting it with its spices. The coco mix comes with a variety of proteins to try from if you want a little of everything! The falafel in it was so crunchy yet soft inside. The cashier was super helpful wirh his recommendations and made sure we were comfy. I appreciate the variety of drinks he offered as well, giving customers options and his personal input! While I do agree with some reviews that the wait can be long, the anticipation is so worth it. I'd never expect such a great restaurant in a small city on the outskirts of Arkansas, but I will be revisiting just for a taste of Nara.

New favorite restaurant in Oklahoma!!!…read more I've lived in the Middle East and I can tell you this place is an absolute gem for the very healthy ancient cuisine. The greedy part of me thought I shouldn't review this place because the food is so good I don't want the quality compromised by too much customer service but the food has literally compelled me to write this. Friday evening 6:30pm: the place doesn't have a single chair available, tabouli is sold out. Plan accordingly. The Mezza Platter & the Shish Kebab are winners! The tenderloin shish kebab was the best I've EVER had! The tzatziki cucumber yogurt dip was perfectly thick...not runny like other inferior restaurants. The cabbage roll was surprisingly pleasant. I liked the herb olive oil dizzle over the hummus and eggplant dip. I also enjoyed the subtle hint of charred eggplant in the background of the dip. The place is across from Natural Grocers so it's perfectly located for multiple shops and stops. Will I come back? Definitely! Honest review & not paid by anyone to write these words. Also, I'm not AI!

We're a sharing is caring group and I sampled from the other vegan items ordered. The falafel was great, the red onion and cabbage salad was great, and the red lentil soup was sooo good. The meaty meats agreed and enjoyed their vegan, vegetarian, and meat options as well. I'm glad we came in! I wasn't aware they had so many vegan items on their regular menu. This spot is going into the heavy rotation category forthwith!

The bar area is especially nice if you want to relax with a drink. The food here is consistently fantastic. The meat is incredibly tender and full of flavor, never dried out. The pita bread is perfect, soft yet warm, and the Greek salad is delicious--the dressing is tangy and just right. And if you're feeling adventurous, the spicy feta dip is a must-try! We always make it a point to stop here whenever we're passing through. Excellent service, amazing flavors, and a truly inviting space--it doesn't get better than this.

Taziki's had daily specials & as for Wednesday, it was the Spanakopita Roll-Up. Grilled chicken, feta & blanched spinach inside of a grilled tortilla with a side of salsa. It also comes with chips (I had baked pita) & a side, which I picked the roasted potatoes. Even though I had a late lunch, the dish was the epitome of one. Holding me over until I got home with the 4 roll-ups. The salsa was good, my favorite kind - salsa taquera. Their baked pita would go well with hummus, I found out after the fact that they have Spicy Harissa Hummus that I'd like to try. The roasted potatoes were well seasoned with slightly crispy edges. You walk up to the front to place your order. The person who took my order was really nice. The food didn't take long. There's nowhere to leave your trash, they come pick it up for you. I plan on coming back, especially for the hummus.

When it comes to Mediterranean food & it's my first visit, 9 times out of 10 I'm trying the Falafel. That's what I went with here with a baklava for something sweet. The falafel is HUGE. I enjoyed the tahini sauce (I might mess around & ask for extra next time). Plenty of pickles in every bite. I splashed some hot sauce here & there to take it up a notch. I'd order it again. The baklava was good & had a distinctive taste. It didn't taste like the baklavas I'm used to (not in a bad way). It might've been as certain spice or the type of honey/syrup they used. It was a good way to cap off my meal. The place was busy! I ended up eating outdoors, surprisingly, it was well shaded. The menu is massive, there's plenty to choose from.
