I highly recommend this place and we all can't wait to come back! Must check out! read more

First off, I would like to say I have been going to Grape leaf/grape leaf express for about 20 years. Only thing is 15 years in Perrysburg. They were always great never had one complaint with Perrysburg location. For the last 5 yrs. I moved and have been going to Monroe Street since. I only get 1 thing each and every time I go. Large Greek Chicken Salad. It cost almost 15 dollars today for take-out. Its pricey but if its good I am okay with it because it's healthier than a burger. I am sorry to say that particular store is kind of a crap shoot. Sometimes good, sometimes okay, and sometimes not so good. Big difference between the two stores that is for sure! Very few cucumbers and tomatoes, two greek olives, two beets kind of skimpy on feta. Dressing is spotty, sometimes not so good and seems to be runnier than an oil at times. I am sure it depends on who makes it, but consistency should be the name of the game. This particular store has always been just very skimpy almost always. Romaine lettuce is almost always cut in huge, not bite-able pieces that's for sure. It Just seems to me this place is just not really into the business like the other one over in Perrysburg. Almost over it especially for the cost. Chicken is usually always very good sometimes a little dry but usually spot on. Help at counter is always kind. I hate giving a review like this but I am tired of it happening over and over again. FYI: Do not go to any other place for a greek chichen salad either because they are even worse in this area. Perrysburg is excellent. Vickie read more

Definitely recommend visiting for some quality Mediterranean food! This was my first time here and the employees were very helpful and kind when it came to ordering. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and has a nice seating area if you want to dine in. But the FOOD!! Was so fresh, flavorful, and fast! You get great portions for the price and the food is delicious! read more

Grape Leaf Express - Chicken Shawarma (L), 4pc Meat Grape Leaves, Small Hummushummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Great service, amazing food, and would recommend to everyone. I have been coming here for years and will continue for many more.

This is one of those places where you try to write a review but you keep noticing none of your words do it service. The food alone is 15/10 and something I could eat several days before getting tired of it, customer service was so warm and welcoming. I've been back and forth about moving to the Toledo area until I sat down with my family eating this, and made up my mind. If there's places here that serve food this good? It was the tipping point. read more

wow, amazing portions and the younger Jordanian girl who was working the front was absolutely incredible customer service and giving us our food. It was a great experience and the food was absolutely delicious. I also had very good prices based on the size and the quality of food.!!!!! read more

Had the gyro and side salad. This place has great gyros. My only complaint is the pita was a little tired. I know they can get that way if they sit out for even 20 minutes, but this one was on the brink of being too far gone. I wish they would have made the decision to use a different one, but the sandwich was still great. The side salad has the house dressing. It's wonderful. Garlicky and salty with hints of lemon and not too much olive oil. Very light and fresh. Really nice alternative to the typical fries. Service was pretty quick, and the place is clean. Very nice. read more

I like the Holland location better. My steak bites were a bit overcooked. Service was great though and environment was clean.

Wonderful food, very welcoming folks and a very soothing place. Carla and Liyah, thank you both for being so kind to me after such a long and draining day - follow your bliss! read more

Ordered delivery! The delivery was fast and efficient. The hummus had too much tahini in it. The falafel wasn't good! Was dry with a doughy texture! read more

We got takeout shawarma, shish kebab and falafel. It was hot and fresh. The falafel was absolutely amazing as well as the shawarma. The shish kebab was just ok. It was well packed and prepared with care. read more

Food is flavorful but this business isn't run like the Grapeleaf Diner in Holland. I ordered fattoush and it was all lettuce with some pita chips thrown on top. Definitely not fattoush. When I called the person was utterly unhelpful. Said she "didn't make it so she doesn't know". And left it at that. If you want a decent order prepared correctly get it from the original in Holland. This is the second time the express on Monroe messed up my order so I won't be going back. read more

Grape Leaf Express - Not fattoush. Side salad with pita on top. And I paid extra for this. - Mediterranean Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

This was my first time eating here. We chose to eat inside, the food was alright, I was disappointed with the sauce on the Gyro, it wasn't tzatziki sauce. The restaurant inside was really nicely decorated, but they need to do better housekeeping, it was pretty dirty. If I eat there again I would probably just get takeout. But I'll probably just try a different place instead next time. Oh and they added a $3.15 "Non cash adjustment charge " to the bill, Idk what that means, but it was shady. read more

Great food and service today! The restaurant is clean and the food was plentiful. The seating is great for private conversations as well.

amazing food and service. love this place! the hummus is so good and so is the falafel plate with extra pita bread. delish. 10/10

This place was average at best. Food had little to no taste. My chicken was dry and flavorless. I would have given it three stars but they messed up my order. Don't think I'll be going back here anytime soon. read more

I try not to practice too much "reactive Yelping," but sometimes, I can't help it. The Grape Leaf Express is a 1 star restaurant? Sorry, but I just don't see how. I agree with Clay C's comment of "Solid food at fair prices." TGLE features very good carry out food and service. I just ordered the "party platter," and some other stuff, and it was all ready in 15 minutes. The girl behind the counter even helped me carry it all to the car. TGLE is great for a quick bite at lunch time, also. I gave it 4 stars (instead of 5) simply because it's not The Beirut. Compared to other similar places (Middle Eastern carry outs), it gets 5 stars from me. read more

First time trying!! The food was excellent! I had the chicken shawarma and lentil soup!!! I'm from out of town and like to try different things! Service was different eating sit down had to do everything myself that was the only thing I didn't care for! read more

Good food every time Always my go to for lunch on busy days. Service is good! Food is fast. They make it convenient that you can order before opening so you can just pick up fast before rush hr. Only thing I wish was different is that they offered drinks for pickup read more

Really good lunch or dinner spot and now on my list of top Greek places in Toledo. I came in and was tempted by several vegan options before ending on the falafel sandwich which was well seasoned and a good portion size. The food came out in ample time and they had outdoor seating options. 5 stars!! read more

Grape Leaf Express - Falafel sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

While we've always enjoyed the food we had a very frustrating experience while ordering online recently on an evening, that according to their website, they were open. After putting in our food and credit card info we received a message that it didn't go thru due to restaurant being busy or there was a technical issue, so we tried again. Still didn't go thru but our bank was charged twice. Tried calling and no answer. It took a couple of days to get our money back. read more

On top of a clean and cozy contemporary atmosphere and friendly staff and service, Grape Leaf Express serves great food! The mixed meat gyro is easily among the best in town, as far as carryout gyros go, stuffed to the brim with fresh veggies, creamy tzatziki sauce, and large hunks of tender gyro and chicken breast. We dined in and the meal was served with fresh and well dressed fattoush (of the lettuce variety) and hearty helping of fragrant yellow rice. I added a side of lemon rice soup, which was really tasty and perfect for a cold day, very thick and hearty, fragrant and savory. We also got the falafel salad, which is a big helping of fattoush piled with three large and fresh made fried patties. I'm pretty picky about falafel, and these were about perfect. Crispy on the outside but moist and flavorful on the inside. With a scoop of creamy garlic sauce on the side they were drool-cup worthy. This meal too is a huge portion, being served with a small side of hummus and pita and fresh tabbouli. In short, we over ordered by a lot and left with as much food as we ate in the restaurant. If you're looking for fresh, authentic, and relatively quick Mediterranean food in the Franklin Park area of west Toledo, this is a sure bet. read more

The service and the food is simply the best. BC really took care of us!! Try the Greek salad the hummus and the gyro We drove about one hour to get here and we were thoroughly impressed read more

Wow. If you're thinking of ordering dinner on a Thursday evening, you should know that their menu isn't accurate. The special was listed as Grape Leaves and Hummus. Unfortunately, you don't get hummus with your order of Grape Leaves and Hummus. So, thinking they had just neglected to include something in my order (Covid, curbside, it happens), I called to ask about it. The woman who answered the phone told me that hummus only comes with the lunch portion. I looked at the menu online again. I told her that it was listed as hummus and grape leaves in two different places on the online menu. She said, "I can tell you from working here that it only comes with the lunch portion." I pointed out that, not being an employee, I would have no way of knowing that. She then began YELLING at me, saying she would tell the manager to change the menu, but she couldn't change it. I was stunned into silence. First they cheat me, and then they're rude? Oh hell no. Next time I'm wanting Lebanese food, I'm going to Sidon. I'd suggest you do, too. Especially if it's a Thursday. read more

Tried the falafel salad, which is a combo of falafel, hummus, tabouli, and fatoush, since it would allow me to sample a variety of items (and when they're made well, I love all of these). The fatoush was excellent: fresh vegetables, tangy dressing with a tickle of herbs. Hummus was very creamy, but some additional garlic and lemon wouldn't have hurt. Falafels were crunchy crisp, but had a fryer oil aftertaste. Tabouli was quite salty, to the point where the parsely and lemon were drowned out. No complaints about the service. Setting is a bit more subdued, cafe-like than a lot of the small middle eastern places in the area. Might make a return visit if I start craving a fatoush, and the meat items I saw on others' plates did look worth a try. read more

My daughter is in love with there hot wings , hummus and tabbuli It's a must to go there every week . my favorite, I always get the lavash sandwich with extra sauce and pickle .... Yummi ... Very nice fun place and in the middle of everywhere ... Must try it. read more

I eat their once a week I love their food it is so delicious the grape leaves are wonderful and their hummus is smooth!!

I've gotten sides of chicken shawarma with garlic, and just large bowls of garlic (for homemade chicken) a bunch of times. I like the garlic better than Tiger Bakery's right down the street, because there's a bit more lemon in the Tiger Bakery toum than I like. The chicken shawarma is MUCH better than Shawarmaholic's in that it's real pieces of chargrilled chicken, vs the weird gristly Shawarmaholic bits. My only wish is that they'd use olive oil for the toum, instead of vegetable oil. I'd buy it a whole lot more often (and pay the upcharge, of course.) read more

I can always count on great flavors, timely service and true value. My favorite is the gyro which is so packed it is usually two meals. The chicken lemon rice soup is the bomb on a cold day. These are my favs, but everything is great - read more

Very average Lebanese, I have not been to their main location, but the food was fairly cold, and not very flavorful. I ordered a Chicken Shwarma and my mother ordered a Fallafel Sandwich, both were just lacking in flavor, and did not impress us at all. That being said, the smoothies were pretty good so if you're in the mood grab a smoothie for the road read more

Friendly service, convenient location. The food was good for the price. Came here the day after Christmas for lunch with my best friend. I ordered the chicken schwarma platter with rice. The chicken was seasoned well but a little dry. The rice had nice flavor and was a large portion but was a little cold. The house salad served on the side had a nice light dressing. A nice little spot to grab some lunch that isn't your typical fast-food, deep-fried. read more

I'm not a Mediterranean food connoisseur, but I've been to this place a few times and have been very pleased with the quality of their food. Even though the menu isn't super extensive, they are great for quick dine-in or take-out. I've had Greek salads with gyro meat at a few different places now, and this place has the freshest gyro meat and great tasting house dressing. The sandwiches are a bit small, so you might want to get something else to go with them. The food is generally reasonably priced. Definitely recommend it if you're on the go or picking something up. read more
