I believe they were short handed and that's why it look awhile to take our order and serve us. First time I've been there so didn't know that I had to go inside to pay. So we waited until we could flag someone down to ask how to pay our bill. Unfortunately, they only have one cash machine as I had to wait another 10(?) minutes to pay my bill as the party in front of me seemed to be paying several checks at once. I would definitely go back but would be more mentally prepared to wait in line to pay the bill.

I was eager to give it a try, so tonight my family chose our dishes for a takeout order and looked forward to something great for dinner. Based on reviews I ordered falafel, kibbe, and chicken shawarma. My husband had a gyro and my daughter ordered the feta dip (which turned out to be cubes of feta and nothing for dipping. Unfortunately, we all agreed it was very okay. Everything was palatable, but it lacked the sparkle of meals we've eaten at other local eateries and at our Greek friend's house. My husband and I had the great good fortune to be able to travel in Istanbul and Greece over the summer, and the food was...better. I understand that region matters; perhaps I am not as enthusiastic about this version of food from that part of the world. One woman's opinion shouldn't spoil other peoples bliss, but I'm looking forward to my next visit to Wael's. I'll appreciate the delicious kibbe better than before.

We started with a sampler platter of appetizers, and let me tell you: you could tell the dolmas ("grape leaves" on the menu) were made fresh that morning, the hummus was delicious, the salad was refreshing, and the kibbeh and falafel were tasty too. The lamb sandwich was so good; I don't usually like pickles, but I did in that sandwich! We went for a late lunch/early dinner (3pm ish) and it was very quiet inside. Our server was conversational and fun! Highly recommend: go here if you want to support an under-appreciated Mediterranean restaurant in the area.

We have a young child, so we opt for takeout most of the time. Today, I got off of work early, so my husband and I wanted to dine-in child-free. We arrived close to the end of lunch hour. We saw the sign advertising for the chef combo, which I wanted to order after perusing the menu. The waitress was not friendly. Her demeanor and tone were not customer centric. She said I couldn't order the chef combo anymore. I told her it wasn't 3 yet. She said that they ran out of sides, so it wasn't an option. The message was fine, but the delivery was rude. I picked something else and was confirming what it came with, and rather than point me in the right direction, she went back and forth with me. My husband has worked in the restaurant business and was shocked at the interaction. I wanted to order an alcoholic beverage, but after the negative interaction, I opted to leave it at food only. I didn't want to stay longer than needed. I wish I could give this place a higher review, but I'm going to go back to take out if I come back. I'll think twice about dining here again.

Pack of 4, which was good. Chicken Sharma-- glad it wasn't on super thick bread, and I got extra pickles so I really liked it. Philly cheese steak-- it was a lot more bread than meat. Wouldn't get it again. Fries that came with the sandwiches- soggy, old tasting. Not fresh, crispy or hot. Really disappointed with the fries since thats the only thing one of my kids will eat. Also, again, no ketchup, and wasn't offered any. Mawal plate with salad and hummus-- my favorite thing, as the salad was fresh tasting and I liked the hummus. Had to warm the pita up, but it made all the difference. Chicken tawook with rice and fries -pack separate, I didnt try it. We will need to make sure to ask for silverware, napkins and ketchup next time. So, basic stuff, but I would come again for the kibbe and mawal plate.

The gyro meat was served in large chunks, almost like it had been torn apart by hand. Most of the meat trays were running low, and nothing fresh came out while we were there. The lentil soup was watery and lacked seasoning, though the falafels were decent. There were 4-5 different rice dishes, but they all tasted very similar. The Dr Pepper was good, at least. Overall, this was probably a one-and-done visit for us. We really liked the location that used to be in the downtown tunnels, but this one just didn't do it for me.

My favorite dessert is kheer and it contains small bits of pistachios. Also return for their fluffy triangular bread which reminds me a little of a sopapilla. I enjoyed their variety of lentils and rice with peas. This is a great place to bring clients or new friends & family. Also, elegant place for a bridal shower, birthday or anniversary. Seating is available for large groups. They also have an extensive drink me menu that includes some with saffron & even 24kt gold. Their happy hour starts early and they offer domestic & foreign beer, red or white wine and cocktails specials. See Jando's in depth awesome review that I totally agree except the lime cilantro chicken is the best! I am actually going to learn how to make this dish.

The ambiance is inviting and cozy, and the music complements the cuisine while being played at an optimal sound level. I would recommend this place. Although it was not busy for a Friday night dinner, they could benefit from having more staff to make the service run a bit more smoothly.

We started with the Mediterranean Hummus, which sounded promising. The hummus itself lacked flavor, but the Mediterranean style toppings made it better: feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives, served with pitta bread. Then we had a kibbi, which was pretty good. But the tzatziki sauce with a sour cream base... I don't know, not a fan. Sorry. For our main course, we shared a moussaka, which was also pretty good. My husband was expecting basmati rice (something a little more authentic) instead of parboiled rice. My husband had the Turkish coffee, if you like strong coffee this is for you. Not a bad experience overall, but a few tweaks would make a big difference.

I ordered the beef shawarma wrap as a bowl, and got to pick "unlimited" toppings from the 'Sides' menu (as many toppings as they can fit in the bowl). I got baba ganoush, tabouli, and cucumber salad as my sides for my bowl. The bowl was huge and the side portions were generous! The baba ganoush was heavy on the tahini (predominant flavor for me), so I wasn't too big of a fan of this take, but the texture was still good. The amount of shaved beef on the bowl was plenty. I couldn't finish my bowl, so I had a little bit to take home as leftovers. I'll definitely be back if I'm craving a hearty Mediterranean bowl and want to skip Cava!

The stars finally aligned and I was able to meet them here recently. My mom wanted to order some dolomades to start off, and I'm not really a big fan, so I just figured those would be all her. But she offered to let me try one, and I can easily say that these were the best dolomades I've ever had. She agreed. I have no idea what they do to make these not taste so "sharp" like they usually do, but these were really unbelievable. For my appetizer, and I went with a beef/lamb gyro and it was everything you want in a gyro. Soft pita bread, non-gamey meat and everything in between. The greek salad that came with it was pretty underwhelming, but I ordered a side of greek fries too, and those were what I was hoping they'd be. We finished off by ordering a few desserts to share. I went with the strawberry cheesecake as the one I was mostly focused on, and loved it. This is definitely not a frozen cheesecake - they make them in-house and it's obvious when you take your first bite. I understand why Athena's Corner has such great reviews and hope to be back!
