    Stuffed Grape Leaves - A grape leaf wrap, stuffed, rests on a white plate with shredded lettuce garnish, with a fork nearby.

    Great food. We were the only ones in. A nice lady took care of us. I recommend the stuffed grape leaves. They only give 3 I could eat about 15 of those in one sitting! The Kafta platter was amazing. The rice was sooooooo good. I could also eat that all by itself. When we were leaving it looks like the family stopped by, which was sweet

    Lamb Kabob Sandwich - A dish featuring grilled meat, rice, and salad on a white plate, placed on a marble table in a restaurant setting.

    I wanted stuffed grape leaves for lunch and found this place close by. I ended up having the stuffed grape leaves and a lamb kabob sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the meal came with dolmas as a side! The food was amazing. The grape leaves were nice and tender. The lamb was grilled to perfection and presented beautifully. It was the rice that stole my heart. It was as soft as a pillow! Not sticky with just enough chew to it so you knew you were eating rice. The service was on point as well.

    Beef kebab platter, kofta kebab? So good! - A plate features grilled meat skewers on yellow rice, garnished with onions and herbs, alongside a rice mound and a small salad. A creamy dish is visible in the background.

    5 stars for the food!! I couldn't get enough of the Baba Ganoush!! I would come back just for that alone! Really kind staff.

    Gyro - A gyro sandwich featuring sliced meat, lettuce, onions, and sauce, served in a paper-lined basket with pita bread.

    I hate that they changed owners. This sandwich is not the gyro that is shaved but rather frozen and placed on a grill to be heated. It has 0 flavor. I'm very disappointed. If I could give it no stars I would do just that. I don't recommend it at all.

    Hala platter - A wooden serving platter holds a variety of Middle Eastern dishes such as rice, grilled meats, falafel, and salads, arranged with garnishes.

    I love finding little hole-in-the-wall restaurants and this is a good one! The inside decor is clean and well-kept. The menu is small, not overwhelming. We split the platter between 4 of us and we all loved it. The platter gives a nice variety of dishes to try. The platter comes with 3 appetizers, and we chose hummus, baba ganoush, and falafel. The falafel was some of the best I've ever had! Everything was deliciously seasoned and good. Service was a bit slow, but it appeared that there was only one person waiting tables that night, and he was very friendly. Definitely a great little find!

    The food lacked flavors and I mean basic salt in every dish that was served. We had to add salt to everything. They served bottled water without informing us that they charge for it which we found at the time of payment when we saw a charge of $6.76 for 4 small Sams club brand water bottles. They also charged us 3.99% customer service fee for a party of 4. I have never seen any Mediterranean place which does that. The fries that came with the wraps tasted bitter as if the oil in which they were fried was not changed for weeks. I would not visit this place again.

    Fattoush salad with chicken shawarma - A salad featuring chopped meat, pita chips, and lettuce is presented in a white bowl on a restaurant table with a marble placemat.
    Darria C.

    I've been here twice and love their fattoush salad! I always add chicken shawarma for some extra protein. The lady who served me both times is so sweet and welcoming. I'll be back again.

    I must say their hummus is really good. Food tastes fresh and made from scratch. It wasn't crowded for lunch time so I was surprised with slow service. Place is clean and nicely decorated.

    See all

It's not exactly close to me, but the menu convinced us to give it a try. My husband went with the buffet and enjoyed the variety -- hummus, gyro, salad, and pita bread -- and felt the price was a great value for what was offered. I ordered the pastitsio. It wasn't quite the same as the versions I've had in Chicago, where I've enjoyed both homemade and restaurant-made versions. This one was still enjoyable, but not as flavorful as I remembered. The béchamel sauce was creamy, though I felt it needed a bit more seasoning, and the tomato sauce leaned a little too soupy for my taste. I took the moussaka to go. It had a very similar flavor profile to the pastitsio, but instead of pasta, it featured layers of eggplant and ground beef. It was comforting and hearty, though the flavors felt a bit repetitive between the two dishes. The cheese bread that came with both the pastitsio and moussaka was really good -- warm, soft, and a great pairing with the meal. Service was fantastic -- friendly and attentive -- and the space, while small, had a cozy, homey feel. Overall, I'm glad I finally got my pastitsio fix, and it was a pleasant experience.

While I liked…read morethe general flavor of the sandwich, I wish they would have put more meat and toppings on it. The fries tasted like they were cooked in peanut oil and they were specially seasoned. They were a bit on the salty side, but otherwise they were good. The combo cost around $10 plus some change. Seems a bit expensive for what I got since my drink was from a can. Service was good, they greeted me as soon as I walked up to the counter to take my order. The guy was quick, but friendly. I didn't have to wait too long for my food, which was good because I was hungry. As for ambiance, it's a small hole in the wall type of place. It was clean for the most part. It had bar seating with only three stools. There were a couple of short chairs next to a high bar on the opposite side. They have outdoor seating, but it's only one table with four chairs. There's a big bulletin board sort of cluttered with business cards on the wall and they were playing very eclectic music ranging from 80's, 90's, country, grunge, to some of today's music. Basically seemed like someone was using their iPod on shuffle. I guess I didn't exactly expect fancy for a fast food style sandwich place that's attached to a 7-11, but I had hoped for more to my sandwich and better seating.
