Bit strange, but you have to walk into the left and up the stairs. From there, there's a host stand to get you seated. When I got up the stairs the place was packed for a Thursday late afternoon. This must be a great local spot that no one wants to tell you about. I ordered the Charles & Charles rosé and was delighted by the flavor and not bad for the price. We were thinking of ordering a couple things so we could try them all so we ordered. 1/2 order of the "hommos", 1/2 order of the fatoosh and 1/2 order of the shish. Everything was absolutely amazing!!!

Friendly service, generous portions, affordable price, healthy, and most important, delicious food. Nicely spiced, great sauces (especially garlic and tzatziki). Also, at my request, they were happy to switch out part of the rice in the shawarma box for lettuce, which makes for a more balanced meal in my opinion. I've tried the falafel wrap, beef shawarma, and beef kebab, which are all excellent, but my favorite is the chicken shawarma. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this establishment opening a half mile from my house has changed my life for the better. Now I have a go-to spot when I want to get a quick and inexpensive meal that will fill me up. Toledo has comparatively few fast-casual restaurants besides national chains and Chinese. The existence of this eatery raises up Toledo in terms of the overall culinary status of the city.

Charlie's Restaurant - Maumee, OH Rating: 5/5…read more Charlie's in Maumee is one of those rare gems that captures the heart of a family-run spot and the soul of Mediterranean comfort food. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this place hits the mark every time. Let's start with the menu--it's impressively broad, covering all the bases from classic American breakfasts to mouthwatering Mediterranean specialties like gyro platters. You'll find something for every palate and every time of day. Their breakfast is especially worth a shoutout: hearty, delicious, and at half off, it's one of the best deals in town! Service is warm and welcoming, just like you'd expect from a family-owned place. You can feel the love and pride that goes into every dish and every interaction. Prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. Charlie's proves that great food doesn't have to come with a high price tag. Next time you're in Maumee, make Charlie's your go-to. It's the kind of place where memories are made, bellies are full, and hearts leave happier than they came in.

I ordered some chili cheese fries from here because I was the other side of sober one time and I will tell you these were pretty dog gone good. Not too salty, no beans, the chili was flavorful and a good amount of cheese. We've not tried the Gyros or other items yet but probably plan to.

We were…read morefrequent visitors of the Taiwanese restaurant next door, when we first saw that there was going to be a seemingly Middle-Eastern market opening next door. (BTW, I'm not sure what happened to the Taiwanese place next door, but they've been closed for a few weeks now. I'm still trying to figure out if it's temporary or permanent) Anyone who's dined out enough times in Toledo will more likely tell you Toledo weirdly -- I use the term affectionately -- has very good Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern cuisine. You get a wide variety of them, too, such as those of mom-n-pop markets that offer lunch menus, and you also get the nice, family-style sit-down restaurants too. Most of them are very good. Al Nur falls into the former category. What's interesting about them is that their grocery consist of Middle-Eastern, Pakistani and Indian items. And let me tell you, most of their items are VERY well-priced. I don't have much experience with Middle-Eastern groceries so I can't say much about them, but I'm certainly going to try them out (probably with my coworker's help) next time I'm in need of some ethnic groceries. First visit, I ordered their "mixed grill" lunch, which is their version of the kebab combo plate. Came with 3 different skewers of meat over bed of rice and a side salad. Chicken Tawook and (lamb, I believe) shawarma were excellent. Taste I was definitely widely used to. Beef kafta however, I have to mention, had a slightly different spice/seasoning to it. It reminded me of the taste of an Iraqi restaurant I visited in D.C. a few years ago. It was a place my family and my wife's sister's family tried, and I remember my wife was slightly put off by the very strong spice aroma the restaurant had. In my own experience, "Middle-Eastern" labeled places seem to have slightly stronger aroma than those that are labeled "Mediterranean." A quick research will show that it may be because of the availability and usage of different ingredients of spices in different regions. I have the privilege of working/having worked with people of different ethnic background, and I love consulting them about similarities and differences between them. This particular coworker who was born in Pakistan, but had many years of growing up in Kuwait, where his father worked, tells me beef at Al Nur reminds him of what he calls "authentic" Middle-Eastern food from his childhood. Of course, you'll find regions in the States where Middle-Easterners segregate, where you'll have access to their authenticity, but it's certainly not something that's viewed as widely available, IMO. I can tell you right now that it's not going to be for everyone, just like strong-spiced Indian/Pakistani food aren't. But those of us who have the palate for them, I think it's a treat that we now have another Middle-Eastern option in Al Nur. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go pick me up a couple sandwiches for dinner. I've been salivating for them this whole time I was writing about them.
