I used to eat here often when The Red Bird was brand new. Back then, the portion sizes were…read moreactually fit for a human and left me feeling full, but now they are seriously lacking. I went there today to pick up an order I placed through Uber Eats. Usually, when you pick up an Uber Eats order yourself, they don't require a verification code. However, when I went to the front and gave my name to the cashier, she asked if I had proof of the order. I told her no, as I had ordered on my computer and didn't have a code. She insisted she needed verification. My phone wasn't working at the moment, which I don't blame her for, but the way she handled the situation was incredibly frustrating. I waited 20 minutes before I actually got my food. The cashier stood there talking on her phone, claiming she needed to ask her manager, but she never actually did. I didn't hear her explain the situation or ask anyone for help. Instead, she just stayed on her phone and eventually slid the food over to me. There was no apology for the wait, no "here you go," and no "have a nice day." She just slid it over with a smile while still chatting on her phone. It felt like she was purposely inconveniencing me. As soon as I mentioned that I had my ID to prove who I was, it was suddenly no issue, and she handed it over without ever checking with a manager. Very disappointing experience. While the food itself still tastes good, it is simply no longer worth the money or the poor treatment. I never expected over the top, bubbly customer service, the staff that used to work here would just get the job done without the fake enthusiasm, and that was perfectly fine. But there is a massive difference between a worker just trying to get through their shift and one who actively goes out of their way to keep you waiting while talking on the phone. Between the disrespectful service and the shrinking portions, this place just isn't what it used to be.

Authentic NYC Big Apple's fried & Fresh Halal!…read more So very very happy to find this place! I was just driving by & saw their sign & decided to stop in & see if they did have Authentic NYC Halal street food, which is one of my all time favorites, as I spent a great deal of time (12 years) living, working, going to college in NYC. And YES! Yes they do have Authentic NYC halal street food OuiOui ! The first visit, I got a chicken & Lamb to go. It smelled so good it didn't even make it home untouched, I was cramming it in my pie hole at red lights OuiOui :)... Then, I tried to hide the rest from Sir Hubbers but with his sensei street food senses, he smelled me & moi hoarded halal right out! LOL So second visit, I wanted to get another Halal chicken & lamb combo dish, but with two red sauces & two white sauces this time, bc one of each was just not enough yummy sauce for moi the first time, so me thinks two of each is the way to go! Two Red Sauces Two White sauces OuiOui. So I got the chicken & lamb combo to go again, with 2 red 2 white sauces on the side, but this time I remembered as I was walking out the door, to stop & take a photo, b4 said hoarding befall's me again! LOL :)... So I go over to one of the 7 cute little MOD tables that are inside & sit down & take a photo of the chicken & lamb dish he just made me with the 2 sauces on the side... The Big Apple's fried & fresh Halal owner comes running out, sees me taking bites with my fingers, dipping the chicken & lamb in the sauces with my fingers, taking photos, being a total nerd! lol He is like "I thought you wanted it to go!" Ask me if he can get me some utensils, wanting to save me from my barbaric ways hahahah! :)... He was so cute! Such a nice guy, just a regular New Yorker, we hit it off instantly. I told him I WAS taking it to go, but I just wanted to take a beautiful photo of it fresh, so I could post it & I then showed it to him... He was like "Oh! That is very nice! Please tell everyone to come see me!" So, "Everyone, come to the Big Apple's Fried & Fresh for some Authentic halal!" The owner is a very cool dude from New York, speaks perfect English, makes incredible Authentic halal street food & wants to give you utensils & save you from your barbaric ways. LOL The best service EVER! :).... Added to moi fave Tampa places/Fave St Petersburg places. AND, I might even start a new list on the "coolest New Yorker owned places."' The Big Apple's Fried & Fresh is tops! New York #Knicks on tops! Winners Circle all the way! OuiOui. Highest Recommendations.

This place is great!!…read more This is not a fancy place, but the food is terrific. I especially like the empanadas and the chicken and/or lamb over rice or salad. If you can handle a little spice, try all four sauces over the chicken or lamb and be ready for a wonderful taste treat. The sauces are made in house with a big variety of ingredients providing a complex taste that is addictive. The owner is friendly and very hospitable. The menu also includes Pakistani/Indian selections like tandoori chicken, but I have not tried them yet. It's hard to pick anything but the chicken/lamb over rice with those sauces.....I think I'm addicted!! Give this place a try.....you will not regret it!!

Absolutely incredible experience at Istanbul Mediterranean Grill & Market! From the moment we…read morewalked in, we were treated like family. The customer service was genuinely some of the best we've ever experienced it was warm, welcoming, and so hospitable. The bread was phenomenal and worth the visit all on its own! We ordered two İnegöl Köfte plates to split between two adults and one child, and honestly, one plate would have been plenty because the portions are so generous. The köfte was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the rice was absolutely delicious, and the fresh salad was the perfect complement. I also ordered a side of chicken just to try it, and it was equally flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. For drinks, we tried the Turkish pear soda and the orange soda. Both were delicious, but the pear was my favorite and is a must-try! If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Turkish food with generous portions and outstanding hospitality, this is the place. We will definitely be back!

I would think when you order food you will receive napkins right? However, today I ordered a Falafel not the balls but a Falafel and what do you k own I get the Falafel balls which were extremely hard and dry. I picked over the food and trashed it eventually after spending $9. It appears when an establishment becomes popular the service starts to lag in this case I believe it has. I'll be making my own Humus & Falafel moving forward. Thanks for the phenomenal food/service for once it was but I have to move along.
