You MUST get the combo and you MUST get the tahini sauce. The fries are perfectly crispy and I could eat the tahini sauce by the spoonful. My friend swears by the garlic sauce, so it's safe to say you can't go wrong with either. The hummus plate and falafel were good. The falafel is definitely a solid vegetarian option. Parking isn't great because it's Dinkytown, but the food is 100000% worth the potential parking frustration. The staff is kind and the space is beautifully decorated. You order at a kiosk in the front, then get a number, seat yourself, and they bring the food out to you. I have been a few times during Ramadan and it gets absolutely packed. So prepare for understandably longer wait times if you go then.

Not sure I'll be coming back after this experience…read more I've been going to Wally's for years, back when it was still a small local spot. Through a Palestinian friend who knows the owner, I even met her back when the restaurant was much smaller. I've also been ordering the chicken musahab since it first became a menu item a couple of years ago, and have always liked it. I've recommended this place to friends and family, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I ordered the chicken musahab and after just a couple of bites I couldn't eat it. The chicken was extremely spicy in a way that was completely different from what I've had here before. I usually have no issue with spice, but this was genuinely inedible for me. My lips and stomach were on fire. I brought it back up and explained the issue. I was told that other customers have complained about the same thing before, but management does not issue refunds. There was no replacement, store credit, or any alternative offered. What stood out most is that this seems to be a known issue, yet there's still no effort to make it right when it happens. I ended up paying around $40 total and wasn't even offered the lentil soup that's typically included with orders over $15. I wasn't looking for anything extra -- just some basic acknowledgment that I couldn't eat the meal at all. I rarely send food back, but this was one of those times I had no choice. I left without eating my meal and pretty disappointed. Just sharing in case others have had the same issue or are thinking about ordering the chicken musahab.

This is a Greek/Mediterranean takeout place with a decent amount of seating and some appropriate grocery items. Really nice people working here. I got the Mediterranean Platter which was full of very perfectly-cooked meats and rice, salad with very fresh veggies, a Greek dressing ant tzatziki. The latter two were EXCELLENT, really creamy tzatziki and really flavorful Greek vinaigrette. A lot of food. Not cheap, but I'd say normally-priced. I've also gotten their house-made Dubai Chocolate. It is the best Dubai Chocolate I've ever had. BUT! Get the stuff from the case that they make, not the packaged bars on the counter. The latter is mediocre, but the stuff they make, the stuff in the case, you guys. YOU GUYS. That is why this is a five-star review.

I honestly barely noticed because the smell of yummy foods hit me as soon as I got inside. I think they do most of their business as take-out or pick up, but we actually took advantage of the small dining area attached. The service is nothing fancy- order at the counter and they'll bring it to you. But ya'll- the food! It was really some of the best Mediterranean food I have had since moving to the cities. That hummus -as the kids say- SLAPS! It had a little spicy topping on it and they served it with warm pita breads. I ordered a gyros platter and it came with enough rice to feed a crowd! Even the salad was delicious. I told my husband right away- this is 5 stars.

Everything is on a chalkboard and prices may or may not end up being what you expect. $22 for a lunch box is highway robbery in my book. Got a Falafel Lunch Box and the salad was the best part; mainly because of all the oil. The falafel (4 small) was pretty bad. Texture and (I assume) taste of a dish sponge. I assume they come frozen from a wholesaler. The hummus (~4Tbsp) was fine, but nothing to write home about. The dolma were also "ok". Not really any flavor other than oil. The pita was also standard packaged type. If this box was $11-12 I would be thrilled, but charging 2x that is criminal. Maybe the shawarma is worth it, but I don't eat much meat so I don't think I'll be back.

I mentioned all the others (white folks) getting their food when they came in after me, and they said they called ahead. I doubt it, I sat there and heard them all order. BS.
