    Outside

    We had a very good lunch here even though the one server waiting on the entire restaurant was a bit overwhelmed and we got our appetizer almost at the same time as our main meal. My husband loves Turkish food and still speaks a few words in Turkish from his time there many years ago. We parked right outside in the strip center lot. The restaurant is on the west side of US 1/Federal Highway. Inside, was decorated all in blue -- walls and chairs. There was a large screen TV that played Turkish jazz music while we were dining. We ordered cay/chai to drink -- Turkish tea. It was good, but we were never offered refills, and I think the other tables got their tea for free. We were there for lunch and took advantage of the lunch specials. There are three possibles that are served between 11:30 am and 3 pm. They are a doner platter, a doner burger, or doner on top of a salad. This is a good introduction to their menu at a reduced price. We both ordered the doner platter. We started first with a shakshuka appetizer. This was a mix of eggplant and peppers in a tomato-based sauce served cold with pita bread. It was good on its own with a slight kick, but my husband added it to his rice, and I added it to my doner meat. The platters were a lot of food: Very well-cooked sliced beef doner along with a side of rice pilaf -- white rice with little vermicelli in it -- coated french fries (not my favorite), a mini colorful salad (it even had blueberries in it), and very thin lavash bread. There were supposed to be pickles, also, but there weren't any on our plates. My favorites were the meat and the rice. Even with the few minor glitches, we enjoyed. There are not too many authentic Turkish restaurants in South Florida. I'd like to try some of their other menu options and if in the neighborhood would come back for dinner.

    Went to Generous Gyro to check it out. Located in a strip plaza on Federal Hwy, ample parking. We went in for take out and didn't realize it was a sit down restaurant! Beautifully decorated and cozy atmosphere. We got the chicken wrap which was very tasty. Served with salad and fries. The salad was very nice with a raspberry vinegar. We also got Donner family platter which was filled with salad, lavash, several sides: salad, sauces, pickles, and onions. My family enjoyed the dishes! We'll be back and will eat in next time. Check them out and support local business.

    A large, beautifully decorated and modernized Turkish restaurant, offering middle eastern and classical Turkish cuisine. I enjoyed my Gyro lunch plate which came with pita, a small flavorful salad and fries. The çhai was very good with my meal.

    Amazing Services and delicious Doner (gyro) Atmosphere is like I am in Turkey. Thank you

    Chef's Salad

    I ordered the shawarma and the chef's salad, and honestly, both were really disappointing. The shawarma wrap was dry, overly salty, and tasted like the meat had been sitting around for a couple of days. It came in a stale Mexican tortilla (not lavash), stuffed with fries and a pickle, but no vegetables or sauce. Easily one of the worst wraps I've had. The salad wasn't much better, no pomegranate, no freshness, and way too much blue cheese. What a horrible meal!

    authentic Turkish dining. Amazing restaurant decor, cozy, elegant ,comfortable .Soft jazz music, leather couch to enjoy tea and dessert after the meal. Best Turkish Doner, and the chicken is incredibly tender . Personally my favorite is the appetizer meze with shaksuka and humus and tzatziki and eggplant and fresh pita. occasionally they have live music nights, fun , highly recommend this place .

    Don't let the name fool you--this isn't a quick-serve gyro joint. GG Doner is a modern Turkish doner house with a refined lounge-style interior: velvet seating, a central chandelier, and full-wall Mediterranean projections. Owner Hawk, originally from Istanbul, brings serious polish to the space and the food. The star is the doner kebab--a seasoned blend of 80% beef and 20% lamb, slow-roasted on a vertical spit. It's not sliced in view, but we were lucky enough to get a taste straight from the kitchen, fresh off the rotisserie and bursting with flavor. You can get it as a platter (with rice, fries, or salad), in a house-baked lavash wrap, or as Iskender over tomato-soaked bread with yogurt and grilled peppers. We got the Iskender and would absolutely order it again. We started with a meze platter featuring three standouts: Shakshuka (spicy eggplant and red pepper), Babaganoush (roasted eggplant with yogurt and mayo), Cacik (cool, herbed yogurt with cucumber). Also tried: Sigara böreği (crispy cheese-filled phyllo rolls), house fries, and a simple green salad. Didn't try the desserts this time, but ended with a perfect Turkish coffee--strong, rich, and beautifully aromatic. Prices are reasonable, service is warm, and the food is outstanding. Easily one of the best Turkish meals we've had in South Florida. We'll be back.

    Döner is so soft fresh and Turkey-like I loved the sides that come with it and the babaganoush that we ordered as well.

Ambiance and Service: First off, the ambiance is absolutely breathtaking--perfect for a special occasion. Our server, Carissa, was fantastic! She was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also warm and friendly, making us feel right at home, even during the busy Mother's Day weekend. Boozy Brunch: I absolutely loved the boozy brunch option; you can't beat $25 for a full bottle of champagne and a make-your-own mimosa bar. It really added a festive touch to the celebration! Drink and Food Menu: Sixty Vines offers an impressive selection of wines, and their drink menu is equally remarkable--no watered-down cocktails here! The food menu is diverse, catering to a variety of tastes. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal choices, from appetizers to entrees. Special Touches: One of the highlights was being able to bring in a birthday cake without any issues; they even cut it for us at no extra charge. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Sixty Vines to explore more of their delicious offerings! Highly recommend it for any special occasion!

Although it has a beautiful menu of wines and spirits, we stuck to their filtered water, and asked KC for any recommendations for lunch. He was very engaging, a wonderful communicator, and we made our selections which started with the bacon wrapped dates (YUM). Prior to my order, I mentioned a dietary restriction and KC promptly went to the kitchen to make an inquiry. I ordered the trout with lentil ragout, and my husband ordered a margarita pizza. The atmosphere was very peaceful, with unintrusive music, and we really did enjoy getting to know KC as he made sure that we were satisfied with every plate. This restaurant is upscale, yet with value pricing. Altogether, my husband and I encourage you to enjoy a lovely meal, and make sure to ask for KC! You won't be disappointed!

After long nights at the hospital while my mother-in-law was in ICU, we twice found Joseph's open late and serving dinner. We were exhausted, heartbroken, and not ourselves, yet Joseph and his son welcomed us like family. They listened, prayed for us, and gave us a warm place to rest when we needed it most. The food was outstanding, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere carried a kindness that went far beyond a typical restaurant experience. On one occasion, even when the restaurant was closed, Joseph himself came out to check on us and was visibly moved when we shared that our mom had passed the night before. His compassion was genuine and unforgettable. Joseph's is not just a restaurant--it's a place run by people who truly care. If you are in Delray Beach, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you visit and support this wonderful family and their beautiful restaurant.

A rare day in Florida with a clear blue sky and perfect temps in the 60's. I started out with Estrella on draft, a lager brewed in Barcelona, while we delved into the many options of tapas. Fitting for a larger group of people to sample the spirit of Spain while relaxing outside to drinks and chit chat. We went with pan con tamate, stuffed piquillo peppers, batatas bravas, octopus à la Gallegos, and garlic shrimp. A flavorful journey into Spain. I finished off with the liquid dessert, a Spanish coffee, and flan split amongst the table. La Terraza transports you with artistically crafted passion. I'm looking forward to adventuring further.

The white beans with garlic and huge shrimps were heaven on my taste buds. A definite eeorded when returning. And the crème brûlée was served warm and beautifully presented. This is authentic Spanish food. And the owner/chef, Carlos, is from Spain. Not Colombia. Not Cuba. Not any other Spanish speaking country. SPAIN. For real. And he is outstanding.

If you're the patron who drives up in a huge Mercedes. Or Bentley. Or Porsche. With a plastic face and a sweater hung around your shoulders, and eat these delicious authentic dishes and complain tha it was so expensive. It should have been less what it was. Blah. Blah. Blah. Stay home. Eat in with food you pickup or have delivered. Review your investments. Don't come here, eat, and then criticize the portion sizes (which are larger than expected), and most importantly authentic and delicious. And definitely don't go to the nail salon across from the restaurant and trash it to your technician,!who could never afford it.
