    They have a drive-thru, and as the mother of a young child, places with drive-thru's tend to get more of my time and money right now. My only complaint is it did take a while to get the food, but that's not unlike other places making higher quality fast food (like DeLeon's). I kept things simple with a gyro/bread plate. YUM! Even the fries were tasty, and I'm pretty picky about my fries. There was more meat than I expected, great flavors, and he made sure to throw in some tzatziki sauce. I'll be back. Wish they had lemon potatoes, though!

    Chicken tikka plate! Gave me a free baklava :)) they are the best  This photo doesn't justify

    Best Arabic food in town! My favorite is the chicken tika plate. The chicken is so good juicy and well marinated. Probably my favorite meal ever now! Comes with your choice of rice pr fries. I recommend it with rice because it's perfect that way. It also comes with hummus, a garlic sauce, pasta salad and a cucumber onion and tomato salad! I will always be recommending this new spot in town because they deserve the recognition. The customer service is also AMAZING! The nicest people EVER. Thank you guys!!! I'm your new regular :)) I've also tried other things on the menu and everything is great like the beef, or chicken shawarma. Even the falafel is good! I doubt they have anything bad... portions are also so big for the price! Price is super cheap...

    Tikka chicken

    I have had the tikka chicken plate & the chicken shawarma plate & both were delicious! It's a large portion of food, I got rice both times & the sides of pasta & cucumber salad are delicious! I also love the garlic sauce & hummus! Amazing!

    Came here by myself on a night where I had a friend weasel out on me a second time . Since I was solo, I wanted to go somewhere close by my brother's home. I passed by this place a couple of times. Now, it was time to give them a try! It is a small building with only two tables, eight chairs total. Upon entering, the guy at the cashier was really nice and cool. I asked alot of questions and he was so helpful. I told him it was my first time here. I asked for water to drink, and he gave me a free soda, Mountain Dew. I ordered the Beef Shawarma combo plate. It came with rice, I did double pasta salad since I can't have the regular salad due to my onion allergy. I also ended up getting garlic and hummus cups. I love their customer service here, and all the food was great! It's so close by, I will be back!!! Stop by and give them a try! The portions are big. The wait for food was not too long. They do have a drive thru if needed.

    Delicious food and great service. Meal is freshly made once ordered. Worth every bite and reasonably priced. My favorite is the Beef Kabab.

    There are a lot of gyro places in Lincoln. A lot! There is one right next door! We chose this one,…read moreand it was fine. I love a good Greek salad with a lot of vinegar dressing and sometimes this is hard to find. This was not a lot of salad, it had sliced black olives; there was a lot of tomato that just didn't taste good. Dressing was not right. I did love that it was served with some good potatoes which I felt like kind of a cross between Greek potatoes and steak fries. I also like that there was a lot of tzatziki sauce. The meat was nice, not dry. It was just the "salad" part that I didn't love. Maybe next time I would just have a gyro instead. Service was fast, prices were appropriate. We sat outside. The other family members were happy, they are less picky than I am.

    I'm super bummed. I just had the worst tandoori chicken kebab I've ever had here. In more than 28…read moreyears of me coming here, this has never happened. The kebab was way smaller, overcooked (dry, whereas they used to be big and so juicy) and under flavored. The yogurt sauce was flavorless and is now served in solo cups (more plastic waste), the salad just tastes like plain overwhelming vinegar. No lemon. No tomato. The potatoes were ok but also no lemon flavor and the rice was super plain, I don't even think there was salt on it. My husband's z plate also was lacking the usual flavors we have come to love. The meat was bland. We are utterly disappointed. The prices have gone up which is understandable if the portions and flavor stay the same. I don't even know if I want to try and come back, it seems like this is the new product the newer owner is serving. Maybe his uncle will come back and refresh his memory.

    I. Love. The. Oven. I get the same order every time, and I…read moremight be biased, but I think it's the best order out there. I always get the spinach bread, which is naan-stuffed with paneer and spinach, and is so soft and melt in your mouth delicious. I dream about the naan. Then for my main, I get the lamb bhuna with the soup on the side. I've tried a few other main courses and I honestly think the Lamb bhuna is the most flavorful thing on the menu, and a spiced so well. The mint chutney that they have to dip with the naan is also so good. I could probably drink it. I crave the oven so often. It's definitely a very busy restaurant so I would recommend making a reservation beforehand, otherwise you'll probably be waiting a pretty long time! The patio Haymarket location is super nice when the weather is good.

    I will come back and try some more dishes. For starters the stuffed naan was excellent. I asked if…read morethey could mix the tikka and spinach and artichoke combined to one stuffed naan. Everybody at the table loved it. The soup starter wasn't my favorite it didn't have much flavor to it but if you squeeze the lemon in it gets tolerable. Too much soup though. The chicken bunha was probably the best dish forgot to take a photo. Pretty strong onion flavor. The chicken tikka Marsala although good with the right amount of spice was a little different than I was used to. Overall will be back to try again.

Subtly flavured lightly sweetened rose lassi. I would have preferred a stronger rose favour but i did like this as well. We ordered chana masala fr appetisers- which came with bread. It was soft and fluffy. Not as expected as i was expecting curried chana masala with curry gravy. This was like a warm chickpea salad. It was delicious though. Hubby ordered mixed tandoori and I ordered madras lamb biriyani. Loved my biriyani. Lamb was delicious - tender and flavourful. The rice was very nicely spiced- had cashews and raisins and some dried chillis. Very comforting flavours for me. They had sitting internally and on the patio. Internally, it was quiet and elegant - tastefully designed. Also quick google check revealed that they are dog friendly on the patio. We will be back with our dog in tow! Love it!!!

Our table was ready for us and Raj our waiter greeted us right away with some chilled water. We ordered a light drink and chana masala with bread. I had the mixed tandoori grill with rice. We enjsosued the masala and chatted about how nice it was there. The decoration are interesting and really caught the eye. Our main dishes arrived and we both loved them. Mine was full of flavor and the rice was nicely seasoned and cooked well. Overall it was great and we will have to come back to try more.
