    (3.5) We ordered from this place through Door Dash recently. My first gripe is that the door dash menu isn't set up for you to choose rice or fries as a side even though it says you can choose. So that was annoying. My second gripe is that this food is pricey!!!! My husband and I both ordered the mixed Shawarma plates, which were $35 each. The food was delicious though. Third gripe is that the $8 single piece of baklava we ordered was not that good. It was nice and flakey, but it wasn't very sweet. I would not recommend the baklava The rest of the food was good though, so maybe dining in would be the better option. But it's not cheap.

    Walked in to a clean comfortable ambiance with some traditional music in the background. Quickly greeted and seated. Friendly staff. As soon as you walk in you can smell and see the meat roasting on coals in a giant skewer. My whole party enjoyed their food and raved about the taste. The lamb was nice and tender seasoned just right. Plates are very filling and well served. Can't wait to try again. Clean bathrooms with changing table in the women's.

    Read so many great reviews and saw a lot of videos on TikTok. But honestly couldn't justify them. The restaurant is very dim inside. Service wasn't extremely welcoming. The girl who was working that day kind of had a judgmental attitude. Due to poor lighting it is hard to understand if restaurant is clean or not. The food was just ok. Nothing to be wow about.

    Solid 3.5 stars for amazing flavorful beef and chicken schwarma and rice with excellent hot pita. You can tell the baba ghanouj was fresh made. We just wish the lamb was better because the cuts were not great and the meat was rough and chewy. Also the hummus was fine but maybe we popped in on the wrong day?

    Absolutely love this place. The food is super bomb. The soda is bubbly and the atmosphere is really amazing. Service is kind of slow, but the food is so worth it

    Looking for a new place to try Mediterranean food? If you are in the Glendale area, look no further! Charcoal Grill is very popular for their grilled meats such as lamb kabobs, shawarmas, and chicken tikka. They also offer loaded fries, Greek and vegetarian options. Casual setting with a cute bar if you're feeling spontaneous for a margarita with your meal! The service was quick, and the waiter was attentive and soft spoken. He made sure that we were comfortably enjoying our food and experience. Everything came out piping hot, fresh and sooo delicious!!! Even the rice had a flavorful punch in my mouth. Plenty of parking space and reasonable pricing with a generous portion. I think I found my new GO TO spot.

    Amazing food and amazing service. Defiantly on my list to come back. Sports on the TVs was a nice touch. The open kitchen was cool!

    Easily the best shawarma that I've had in the area. Meat was juicy and flavorful, portions were very large, every aspect of the meal was worth it. Service was also wonderful. The owner came by to greet us himself to ensure we had a great experience. I'll be back anytime I'm in the area and would highly recommended to anyone interested!!

    Omg. When you walk in, you can smell the smokiness of the meat and the wood. You can tell they are passionate about how the food is. We went at an "off peak" time, so with some restaurants it's hit or miss if the food/presentation would be good. The food looked delicious and it was. I got the beef schwarma plate. It was huge. I was starving and I knew on sight it was going to last at least 2 meals. The salad is exactly how you'd want, lots of toppings, everything was fresh. Yassss. The pita, super tasty, it was soft, had a good amount of tenderness and chew to it. Hummus-balanced, they finished it with olive oil, which adds to the richness, it had a good amount of tahini, I don't like hummus when it has too much in it. Rice-not too salty, flavorful, cooked to a good texture Beef schwarma meat- tender, flavorful and delicious. Garlic sauce- vampires stay away (lolll sorry I had to say it), this garlicky sauce is a nice compliment to the beef and it also tastes good dipping the pita in it. It doesn't shy away from the garlic, and it seems similar to a Mayo but not as thick. He got the beef schwarma combo, a beef schwarma wrap, fries & soda. The fries are crispy and cooked nicely but not that many places mess up frozen fries. Service was nice, incorrect soda was brought but we didn't care to fix it, it was not a big deal We got food to go, a kids meal with the chicken schwarma and fries, she said it was so good. She gave me a bite of the chicken and I thought it was pretty good, but still liked the beef better. She liked the chicken better than the beef bc I brought it home and she had some too. Would I come back? Obvi. It's not too far from me, service was very nice and the food was tasty. Would I do anything different? Order more pitas and hummus.

    Dinner with my sister, service was great and friendly, food was fantastic. Will definitely go again.

    My husband and I came here really late on a Friday night. It was nice to have this as an option for a late night meal. We got the hummus flight, the mix kabob/tikka plate, and the mix shawarma plate. We both really enjoyed the original and spicy hummus. The jalapeño hummus was alright, but it wasn't spicy. The lamb was our favorite of all the meats we got. The rice was very good, we definitely recommend it over the fries. I didn't give a 5 star rating because the shawarma and chicken kabob was a little dry. The server was really polite and very quick to take our order and refill our drinks. We will definitely be coming back.

    We don't have anything like this where we are from but we wish we did.. this is fantastic Chicken Shawarma done over charcoal which takes it to a higher level... hummus is smooth and very flavorful... Service is great and there is plenty of parking. I saw these loaded French fries on the menu but we ordered too much food already so next time we are trying those. Highly recommend the hummus appetizer with your choice of meat.. it comes with these light and crispy puffy chips that you won't get anywhere else.

    First off, that sign on their window that says Daily Specials is a lie. We asked about it and they…read moresaid they had none for the day we came in. So the daily special is only on weekdays which means they need to change their false advertisement. I wanted to get a 3 meat plate (that item is listed on their website but not on their actual menu). They did not have falafels which sucked. This is one of those places where you need to call in advance to make sure they have their items in stock. The best part about my meal was that it came with a lot of food; which is what I'd expect for a $28.64 meal. It came with rice, hummus, salad, and bunch of fries. Unfortunately, the best parts of the meal were the rice and gyros. The two beef options weren't that great. Although the platter constituted two separate meals for me, it just wasn't fantastic at all. Floors weren't properly cleaned either.

    I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the food was. Lamb kabobs cooked nicely. Not chewey or…read moreovercooked. It was flavorful, but I am a bit suspicious that I got beef kabobs instead of lamb. Lamb has a distinct flavor and this did not taste like lamb. More like beef. My family thought it was beef as well. Rice and sauces were good. I recommend and would come back, but I'll need to make sure next time it's lamb before I leave. And if it is lamb, i probably won't order it again because it tasted just like beef.

    My first experience at Casa De Falafel was phenomenal. As I approached the counter, I was told by…read morethe kind and gracious gentleman my falafel experience would change after trying the one they offer... For a split second, I thought, "That's a good way to intrigue someone to buy and try..." but NO, he turns around for a mere moment with a sample and my eyes lit up, I finished my order "beef Pita," (of which was extremely flavorful, tender, and fresh... the pita had great consistency and it all disappeared in seconds) but sorry, I digress, there I was, grabbing the strawberry lemonade and walking towards the table when yet again, the kind man asked, "how is the lemonade?" To which I respond, "great!" He then proceeded to pull me an additional cup, "please, try the others as well, they're homemade!" A mango pineapple and a passion fruit were awaiting my pallet, and soon enough... they too, were gone. The falafel was absolutely incredible, crispy outside, soft and flavorful and not dry, that's the big one for me... the falafel was perfect... there was only one thing wrong, so I asked... "can I order four more!? and some baklava too" (to take home of course...) I did sneak a bite of the baklava though, again, so tasty, perfect amount of sweetness, not overly sticky, and the right size to end the meal. Casa De Falafel is one that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND... I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu... they will definitely be the only place that I go for a falafel craving... THANK YOU!

    My husband and I decided to make the drive from the East Valley to try Pita Kitchen, and when we…read morearrived the place was packed -- usually a great sign. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. We ordered and were asked if we were dining in or taking our food to go. We said dining in, but there were no open tables inside (around 12 total) and zero tables available outside. We ended up waiting in the back for a table to open while staff repeatedly walked around looking for our table number, never once asking if the order might be ours. After several minutes, someone finally asked if we were number 11. We were. Once seated, the decor was cute, but service was mediocre at best. The food was the biggest disappointment. It had been a while since we last visited, and it's definitely not the same. The rice was bland and flavorless, and the gyro meat tasted like frozen, reheated product -- very dry, with the main flavor being salt. Instead of the fresh-carved gyro meat you typically see on a vertical rotisserie at most Greek restaurants, the kitchen area was closed off, so there was no visible preparation or carving station. For nearly $50, the experience simply did not match the price. Between the disorganized service and underwhelming food, we won't be back. Next time, we'll stick to supporting East Valley Greek spots that offer better quality and value. I want to preface, this place used to be good. Not sure of ownership changed, but save yourself a trip and find something better and more affordable
