Crown Restaurant - 3 meat combo plate - to go - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

They were very nice and the food was very good and fresh and very welcoming.and the food came out pretty fast.

I drive an hour and half to come here. Does that make your decision easier to come here! The flavors of each and every meal I've had here is always consistent. My go to is the Lamb Shank Plate. The plate comes with lentil soup and pita to start. Nice big lamb shank,pickled veggies, raw onions and parsley. If they have the Dolma Special get it! You will not be disappointed. The servers and kitchen staff are so welcoming each and every time I love the decor. Giving a glimpse into the past. 5 stars read more

Delicious and generous serving of the tashreeb! I didn't realise this restaurant was family style when I came in on a whim. I still ate all the meat though! Great for bodybuilding lol. There was tomatos, bread, onion and whole cloves / peppercorns from what I could tell! A very comforting dish. It reminds me of Vietnamese Bo Kho. read more

Crown is authentic as it gets in PHX for Mediterranean. I had a Wow, where am I moment when I walked in. Tasteful art work everywhere, it's a unique place. It's been on my radar for quite some time, so I was eager to try. The menu looked awesome. I ordered the Meat Tehka platter which came with Iraqi bread, rice, and charred onions/tomato's. The platter consisted of 12 cubes of beef, which were flavourful, but not as tender as I had hoped and a little on the fatty side. Nonetheless, Crown is a hidden gem. I'd absolutely come back, but likely order something else- like skewers. read more

Hi, my name is Narjis I always get breakfast for myself and my daughter in the morning. I'm a long-time customer of Jackie's, and the staff know me and my daughter. She has an allergy to processed and red meat, yet they've made the wrong order three times. Today, when I went back, they didn't apologize or say anything. When I confronted them about it, they put meat instead of eggs in my order and snatched the bag from my hand without apologizing. They're very rude. read more

Nice authentic Iraqi restaurant. The food arrived quickly was full of flavor. Nice touch of appetizers before the main meal. The service was friendly. The restaurant is a literal definition of the hole in the wall. Definitely clean inside. read more

Accidentally stumbled across this place because the restaurant we were going to was closed but man what a treat!! It is Iraqi style food and everything was so delicious! The service was great and they helped us figure out what to order and how to get the right combination of things. We got the lentil soup with hummus, Iraqi bread and the beef kabob plate. All the flavors were incredible. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Came in here for the first time for some authentic Mediterranean food, the food was good very delicious and packed with flavors also really enjoyed the lentil soup, the hummus was okay not a big fan, but everything else was great! The service was good my server was attentive and checked up on us pretty often! The place was cozy could use more decor, but not bad at all, would recommend if in the area it's very good! Doesn't have desserts, but that's okay!! :) read more

Crown Restaurant - Combo plate kabobs - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

AMAZING. Crown Restaurant is a must-go in Phoenix. Food was incredibly flavorful and generously portioned. Left feeling happy and full. I will be back. read more

I've been to a lot of Mediterranean restaurants, but Crown Restaurant really stands out. The food is so flavorful and fresh - the beef kabobs and rice are seriously on another level. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable and welcomed the moment you walk in and also for a big plate with 3 kabobs and shit ton of rice will cost you around 18$ and you will get your moneys worth. I also want to say the new owner, Bejar. He's super friendly and goes out of his way to make sure you're taken care of. You can tell he really cares about his customers and the quality of the experience. Definitely give this place a try - you won't regret it! read more

The moment I walked in I was welcomed with the most delicious scent ever. All I know is that I got to try what they offer and that's what I did. The wait for our food didn't took long but it was a good anticipation for the food we ordered. The food itself was a good large portion ( a good size to share as a family ) and oh my goodness the moment I took a bite, my mouth was filled with distinct flavors from each ingredient - dancing around in harmony - completing my craving with full satisfaction. For me, everything has the right flavor, the right kick, and the right taste. It all felt so at home and it made me want to savor each bite. Everything was very new to me but the experience was good. The place itself is quite casual and the service is quick and attentive. :) read more

I've been in this restaurant before BUT their customer service is very poor.We ordered a beef shwarma and it tastes awful.We didn't finish it.Having worked in Saudi Arabia before and I was expecting the same or if not the same at least ALMOST the same.And why do they have to cut the shwarma in half?A mexican burrito tastes better than their shwarma.The previous restaurant,MOONLIGHT is better than this read more

I have tried multiple mediterranean restaurants and nothing beats crown. Hands down the best food and service you can get. Extremely authentic food. Will def come back and cater in the near future. Thank you, Ozwart Lucas, M.D. read more

Everything was amazing service to food and I only had take out ! Wait wasn't too long either, ambiance was good too.

Under new management as of Nov 2024 and food is getting worse by the day. All the positive reviews are about the OLD management. Now they are cutting corners like crazy and it's really sad. This used to be my favorite restaurant. Now it's not worth spending money on. Find a new restaurant to go to if you are considering here. :( read more

The food at the Crown restaurant is the Iraqi style Mediterranean food - it's excellent! It is the best Mediterranean food that I have had in the Phoenix area after living here for seven years. This is a family run restaurant, and is very casual and slightly worn. The service is in informal. That said if you want real Mediterranean food - this is the place to go! I highly recommend it for the food read more

The atmosphere was cozy, with a nice, relaxed vibe that definitely set the mood for a casual meal. The service was friendly but a bit slow at times -- our waiter seemed to be juggling a lot of tables, which might explain the delays. read more

I found Crown Restaurant on Yelp while searching for a restaurant that was rated well and open on Sunday. The photos as well as the menu looked great, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Mashwai Combo as it offered a variety. I hadn't realized that it came with an app. I chose the Baba Ganouj, which came with a tasty pita like bread. Everything was delicious. My server was very friendly and attentive, yet not overbearing. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall and the exterior could use a makeover with a nice sign and removal of all the tacky menu photos all over the windows. The inside could also use an update, including the menus, which haven't been updated in awhile, but it was very clean and tidy. Overall the food is the star here. The service was also excellent. I'll certainly be back. read more

The food was somehow even more delicious than the pictures!!! I absolutely fell in love with this place for only our first visit. I will no doubt be coming back. Genuinely obsessed with this type of food. read more

Got take-out last night. On the plus side: the lamb shank over rice was good size, tender and juicy, the 3-meat combo skewers were plentiful esp. when put into the pita bread as a sandwich, and the owner?/chef was helpful when ordering. I would go back for the lamb shank. On the negative side: they forgot the baba ganoush (but I don't think they charged us for it either), they gave us a (dry) beef shwarma in pita bread when we ordered a wrap, and the pita on the side was just shoved into the bag with the take-out containers - not wrapped. read more

This place is really disgrace to the Arabic food and the olive culture. The worst experience ever giving you food from the day before and reheating it and their salad was ice cold, Meat was reheated and then putting some kind of seasoning to make it even saltier if you don't speak their language, they treat you like shit, such a disappointed the Service and the treatment. read more

This place was bought by new owner and it's the worst and turned out to be disgusting food . Before Crown restaurant used to be "moonlight restaurant" and owners bashar al saber was the best! Whose a owner at location 5686 W Bell Rd, Glendale, AZ 85305 the pervious owner of this place moonlight. in this place is unsanitary and not cooked well and has no taste. I wish I could give this ZERO stars. It was disgusting! The meat ( Beef Shawarma) I got 3 sandwiches it was hard and dry. It was tasteless and unappetizing! I gagged after biting into the shawarma it's nasty and smelled bad! . It had a very gamey and bad aftertaste. The shawarma meat had no salt and it smelled weird. And I got appetizers, supposedly "iraqi salad" lol which tasted horrible and old cucumbers!!! I got Hummus no taste lol literally you can can't taste it, and I got eggplant salad (Betanjania) tastes bad, it was a completely burn you can literally see the black burn eggplant and it tastes like trash honestly burn burn. All bad This was my first time coming here and will for sure be my last. Instead, The owner was rude Just saying that all these "good stars" are from their close friends. You guys are new like you guys have to be good, and plus they were weird lol. Prices are -- 7.99 each for sandwich beef shawarma, 5.99 each for appetizers plus a orange Fanta soda . All total 44 was not worth it . read more
