O&L is my favorite lunch spot of all time. Always good kind service, amazing food and quick…read moreturnarounds that get me out the door and back to work. The gyro meat here is, IMO the true star, and when paired with their fresh lettuce, tomato, red onion and sauces it truly shines. It offers the right balance of pepper, hint of spiciness, alongside a nice crisp savory meatiness that can only be achieved on a proper vertical spit. My extra piece of advice, is get the spicy green sauce on the side. It offers that little extra jalapeño oomph alongside their creamy tzatziki and it's a perfect balance. Bit expensive to dine here for lunch too often so I try to keep it to every few weeks, but what a treat it is when I do allow myself to eat here for lunch. 5/5 goodness guaranteed!

Ordered on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Restaurant is part of Curie Food Hall. Orders are…read morefor delivery or to go. There is a parking lot and waiting area with small tables if you decided you couldn't wait any longer to dig in! When you arrive, there's a screen to track your order. There are also people at the counter to help if you need it. The Koobideh is deliciously seasoned and moist....as it can be dry from other restaurants. The chicken was also flavorful and delicious. The saffron rice is tasty. This may be not be traditional but I doused both with some tzatziki sauce and it made the meal that much tastier. Chicken wings were ok but seemingly lacking a bit of flavor. The garlic dipping sauce is powerful...use sparingly. Definitely give it a try! So wonderful to be walking distance to yummy Persian food.

I've been coming here for years, but lately it just hasn't the same…read more The food is still good, but not at the level it used to be. I have pretty high standards for Greek/Mediterranean food, and it just doesn't stand out anymore. The pita has been dry, although the hummus is still solid. The platters are fine overall, but nothing particularly memorable. Service has also been a bit underwhelming recently compared to past visits. That said, the atmosphere is still a highlight. The space feels very authentic with all the decor, and the belly dancers are always a fun touch. The patio is also nice if you're able to sit outside. Parking can be a little tight in their lot, but there's a ramp nearby which makes it easier.

We stayed at the intercontinental St. Paul riverside. Used yelp to find a nearby place to eat. So…read moreglad this restaurant came up because it was delicious! It was a nice walk over the Mississippi River. The place is cozy and very clean. We were welcomed with so much warmth it was like having home cooking. We started out with the bread with feta. It was so good with the right amount of seasonings. I wanted to try the dowjic soup so I ordered a cup. I loved it! Yes it's lemony and has a lot of garlic which you could think is a lot of salt but these bright tangy flavors were right up my alley. Not to mention that with all that lemon and garlic it's great for your immune system. After a long flight this hit the spot. For entrees I had the bakla with chicken. So healthy and fresh. The rice had dill. Very tasty. My dad and his girlfriend had the Sheik Babani. They loved it. We enjoyed our meal so much that we went back on a Saturday in order to try the chicken Tawa which is only available Fridays and Saturdays. We had first gone there on Thursday. So glad we got a chance to try that too because the chicken was so tender and flavorful. Wish we were able to go again but they were closed Monday on our last day. Congrats to all the staff and owners for making this family restaurant a special place to eat.

The interior is large…read morewith plenty of seating but it is a little sparse when it comes to decor and lacks a bit when it comes to making it feel welcoming and a place you want to dine in. I was able to order quickly and ordered the salad bowl with lamb (which cost extra). It took a little bit for my food to be ready, but since it wasn't the shaved lamb (which was what I thought I was getting) and instead was a grilled lamb that was made fresh. I enjoyed the vinaigrette and the salad was a little small but fresh and I also enjoyed the feta. Overall it was a healthy, good option while I was in the area and did what I needed, but feel they could use a little more decor so it doesn't feel so sparse.
