    Decided to stop by for a quick lunch. We were in town to visit the Capitol and this place is nearby. We got a lab gyro wrap combo which comes with a drink and fries - flavor was on point. Service was also very friendly. There's about 3-4 tables to eat in, but it seems like a lot of people just get their food to go. Overall we left very satisfied. If you're looking for a quick bite in the area, definitely check them out.

    5 pc falafel balls

    A nice hole in the wall joint, in the heart of Trenton with pocket friendly bites. I got falafel as well as the spicy lamb gyro on my way back from a concert. The lamb meat was succulent but there was too much of lettuce and tomatoes packed into it. The portion size for the price was great! The only caveat here is parking, had to park in front with hazard lights on and had to whisk in and out of the store, and the neighborhood looked a bit sketchy overall. Very fast service and a very friendly staff at the desk, wish it was at a better location with parking

    Decent Halal joint reminiscent of NYC street carts. The delivery is fast, falafel delicious and rice very good. The white sauce is good and so is the red hot sauce and everything is priced right.

    5/5 - I would come back here again Was in the area because of an IRS appointment. Wanted a place to relax a little bit and grab a bite to eat before driving over an hour back home. Spicy Mixed Gyro: The gyro was bomb. Amazing flavors and texture. Nothing was dry or overcooked, everything was amazing and to perfection. The side of extra white sauce went a long way. I think the only difference between the regular mixed gyro and this spicy one was the chili powder on top and also a few slices of jalapeno. For $8 this is a steal! It tasted amazing. 12 Piece Onion Rings: Something tells me that these aren't made in house lol The onion rings seemed too perfect with the breading and shape. Regardless, it was still good and they did a good job on getting the fry on it just right -- really crispy but not burnt. Paired with the extra white sauce on the side and these onion rings slapped and were a really nice side to the gyro if you got the appetite. The service here is phenomenal. Even before we came here to order food, we popped in and asked if there was a restroom. Not only did the man in the front tell us that there isn't one, he also helped guide us towards where in the area we might be able to find one, which I thought was very helpful and I really appreciated that. While dining in, the staff took care of us well and offered us extra white sauces, napkins, etc. It was especially hot that day and the man working the kitchen came out and offered us 2 cold water bottles on the house! Shout-out's to the kind staff working there, I really appreciated the service and help, and I'd love to be able to come back again in the future if I'm ever in the area again. If you're looking for a bomb halal meal that won't break the bank and friendly service, this is your place. Come here, try the food, I promise you won't regret it.

    Yummy hummus and pita 
 Chicken platter

    I loved my food.... love, loved it! Yummy I'm hooked now. I can't wait to taste the rest of the menu!!!

    Chicken Platter

    Great food, excellent customer service. They are so friendly here. I go here once a week and order the chicken platter. If you are like me and love this type of food, but can't tolerate spice, just ask for it not spicy. I'd also recommend extra white sauce because it's delicious! Also the name "Express" speaks for itself - they get your food to you in minutes! Very quick. This is more of a grab and go kind of place, as most places in a city would be, rather than a sit down- although they do have a few tables to sit if you need to. If you're in the area and looking for true authentic Greek food, come here!

    Baklava

    Very friendly service! This was only perhaps my second time eating Middle Eastern type food and wasn't sure what to expect. The hummus was good and had the tiniest amount of heat that was pleasing and not overpowering for someone like me that doesn't like a lot of it. The lentil soup was thick, tasty, and filling. The chicken platter was very good. Just the right amount of white sauce. Nothing seemed too rich and the amount of chicken and rice was very good; I never felt like it needed more or less of anything. The baklava was good and not sickeningly sweet or anything. Would definitely visit again. Absolutely zero complaints about anything. Everything was fantastic.

    Do they have a parking lot, or is it street parking only?

    Some of the lots nearby will let you in and out if you are just picking up food and not eating there. You can usually find quick street parking though, just be careful because at busy times cops will ticket you.

I would've thought maybe it was a three all day long but after dinner tonight and getting to meet.Muhamme it was definitely a five and we will absolutely be back. We start off with an appetizer of chicken Samosa and not anything like an Indian Samosa a little bit different and very tasty not greasy, a nice crunch. My wife had the lamb Gyro platter that came with a plate of their rice with carrots and raisins, and a side dish and pita bread and I had the lamb shank platter. The meat on the lamb shank was to die, for it melted right off the bone. It was perfectly cooked. Tenders can be soft as can be tasty as can be a nice shoe of pink on the inside and the sauce that it was in we were dipping the pita bread in it, as well as some of the pieces for my wife's platter, which was also extremely tender very unexpected. Overall, it definitely rings bells for us as another food group that now we have a regular place to go.

    Food was really yummy; however, I wish that the ratio of rice to meat was a little more even (i.e I…read morefeel like a little more meat would have been nice). Staff was friendly and it didn't take too long so it was nice. Would definitely order from them again!

The service was friendly, and the food came out extremely quickly. I felt we were being rushed just a tad, but not a huge deal. For appetizers, the falafel ($7?), Mantu ($8?), and bholani cadu ($6?) were ordered. Regarding the falafel, there were five to an order. The falafel was very crispy and had decent flavor. I thought they needed a little more seasoning present. The Mantu were Afghan style dumplings filled with ground beef, onions, and seasonings. It was garnished with homemade mint yogurt and lentil sauce. This was light and soft with tons of flavor. The dumplings were filled appropriately, and the lentil sauce was a pleasant addition. The bholani cadu was a thin fried pastry filled with butternut squash and seasoned with fresh herbs and spices. This was interesting. The wonton was very crispy. The squash filling was sweeter than I thought, but still tasty. I also might add all of the three sauces provided at the tables were good, with the cilantro one being my favorite (cilantro I believe anyway). For my entrée, I had the lamb shank ($38?). It came with a soup, salad, a choice of rice, and naan. The soup appeared to be a lentil soup. It came out hot and was very pleasant. The salad consisted of tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. It was prepared nicely as all the pieces were small and a good size portion. The simple dressing was great too. The lamb shank came with a few vegetables. The lamb was extremely tender, but not much meat was on the bone. There needed to be a little more seasoning too as it was lacking. I am just glad the lamb was so tender. I went with the Kabuli rice which had steamed carrots and raisins on top. This was fluffy and flavorful with a ton of it. The naan was okay, a little too crispy. I also tried the lamb chops. They had an unreal cook on them and seasoned well. I also tried the zamarud rice, which was good too. For dessert, the rice pudding ($8?) was ordered. It was creamy and filling. The nice crunch from the pistachios on top was a good addition. Will I go back? I would, yes.

We found out that most of the people (regulars) who usually come here are on their vacation season so it was not an issue getting a six-top reservation with only a day's notice. The restaurant is huge with at least two mega rooms downstairs and one upstairs. We actually went to the upstairs door to check in only to be told we had to go to the downstairs door and check in there. Once we did, the staff asked if we would be ok with being in the "party" room where there would be a DJ. We were fine with that and the staff was more than happy to accommodate us. Once at our table, the extensive menus made it almost too difficult to decide what we wanted. May want to consider reducing the food options here. My wife and I split a tomahawk steak. Once we ordered it, we were told we should probably move to an eight-top because we would have more space. The place was almost empty at 6:15pm on a Saturday so we got to move and give us some more room. We also had two serving of Plov, a prime NY strip, a roasted beet salad, and a chicken fingers with fries. We added some bread, too, along with some compote. The Plov was some of the best we've ever had with lots of tender meat. Both steaks were cooked to our liking. Fries were killer and the chicken fingers were fine. I did not care for the compote as I'm used to it with fruit still in the drink. At about 7pm, the DJ started but there was no separate party which is what we thought was going to show up. The DJ sang some and played up-tempo dance music but also threw in some known music like Ob-Bla-Dee Ob-Bla-Dah from the Beatles also in the dance music style. So much fun after drinking a lot of our BYOB alcohol. Service was excellent and more than accommodating for us. He even advised when we were getting ready to leave that it was raining hard and we could stay until it died down. The restaurant is colorful with lights and designs on the walls including projector lights and white linen sheets above. The place was clean and also the bathrooms on the lower rear level. $305 not including tip for six adults which included two steaks, two Plov, chicken fingers with fries, three breads, and a compote. I mention a lot with my reviews that I'd come back to a place. I really can't wait to return to Samarkand! It was just a lot of fun with excellent food and service. I hope it's just as good when the place is slammed and full.

    We stopped in today and enjoyed some Laughman soup…read more Absolutely fresh and delicious. Consistently delectable. I love this soup and the service is so magnificent.
