Ended up getting my son a chocolate chip cookie and a couple pieces of baklava to go. The baklava was okay, didn't have a lot of flavor. I ordered hummus and falafel for my son and the vegetarian plate for me, which had hummus, baba ghanoush, stuffed grape leaves, tabouleh, and falafel. All was very good. Got my dad the beef shawarma. The have fresh pressed apple juice so got that for my son. He drank some of it but seemed unsure. I tried one of the Lebanese beers and liked it. Had plenty of leftovers that we enjoyed over the next few days. Would come back here if in the area.

Not super convenient handicap parking spots but there are normal spots that are closer. There wasn't anyone there to greet us after we dropped off my in-laws but they had a table already so it was easy to find. Space is medium sized with plenty of booths. Quality of the food was really good and the portions were very generous. Everything was well seasoned and meat was very flavorful and moist. Usually kebabs are hit or miss when it comes to flavor and moisture of the meat, commonly getting too dry, but this was coked beautifully. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in the area!

We got takeout from this spot for a family get together and loved it. We got:…read more- Chicken Pide - Small Family Plate - Spicy Feta - Doner Kebab My biggest complaint is that the menu on their website doesn't say what comes with the family plates and what is on DoorDash isn't accurate (that's the only way to order online for takeout). DoorDash accurately says it comes with many different kebas and rice wrapped in pita as well as an Appetizer Sampler. It also comes with 8 rolls and 2 rice puddings which wasn't listed. It's nice to get more food, but we ordered way more food than we needed. The website also says a small family plate feeds 3-4 people, but it easily would have fed 6 of us without the extra stuff we ordered. Logistics aside, the food was delicious. I loved all of the kebabs and dips. The adana, doner, and lamb chops were my favorite kebabs. The spicy feta, hummus, and labne were my favorite dips. I didn't think the pide was quite as good as everything else so I'd stick to kebabs and dips next time.

I wish there were pictures but I was able to figure out I wanted a grilled roll. While I'm figuring it out I'm offered a sample of the chix gyro with garlic sauce. Amazingly tender and flavorful with nothing overpowering but really really good flavors. There was quite a language barrier but we figured it out. I also had NO idea what came on the roll other than lamb. So knowing options would have been nice. It was packaged nicely for on the go eating. Again flavor was amazing. It was a little too wet for to go eating about half way through. Other than the crazy overpriced cans of cola the price to value was good. Overall this is really well seasoned food with some variety that I want to come back and explore. It seems to be owner operated and ran by a few people trying to do it well and making improvements and growing along the way. I was really impressed with the seafood offerings. Red snapper....!?!?!

The menu was only on the wall and it listed names of dishes and prices but no photos or descriptions. It made ordering difficult. For some reason, my Chicken Shawarma Bowl included rice but my friend's Felafel Bowl did not. My vegetables were nice & fresh but my chicken was tiny little strips that seemed like chicken product - it was strips or stripes of dark and light meat and it didn't really look like or taste like chicken. My bowl also needed a lot more sauce. Also, the restaurant had no music so it was so quiet that you could hear everyone else's conversation. I think we all tried to whisper but still it was uncomfortable. This "new" Lashish is no substitute for the old one.

A friend ordered the hummus & pita and I was disappointed in the pita. It was kind of thin (not what you'd expect pita to be) and cold.

I would have never tried this place otherwise. I didn't even know it existed and I travel this road every day! I ordered 2 gyros regular, a Cajun fry and a Shawarma bowl. Total was under $40. I sat and waited a good 10 minutes or so for my food. First impressions: place was well lit, small but big enough to accommodate a big group if you wanted to eat there. It was a long and narrow space with the kitchen taking up half the restaurant. The girl who took my order was very nice and patient with me. It was my first time there and I kept changing my order around. She was very sweet and friendly. I was taking pictures and noticed the place could use some cleaning up. It wasn't dirty but not spotless either. Here is the best part: the food! I got my food and took it home and yummy! Food is 5 out of 5! Loved the sauce that came with it: probably the best one I had. My husband said they were not skimping on the meat as his gyro was so big he could hardly close it! The fries were soggy because I took them to go but I air fried them at home and they were good. They were loaded with feta and spicy peppers! It was an interesting combination: not bad but different. All in all I had a great experience and would probably go back. It's lots of food for your buck and I enjoyed it! I just love Greek Express and Agape too so lots of competition. Agape is great because their Shawarma is so tasty and you get to customize everything. Greek Express is so affordable, quick drive through and delicious. I think if I came back I would try their entrees. They sounded good!
