The flavor and char on the meat was great, but the gyro was much smaller than I'd anticipated for the price. I was little confused when the white sauce that came on the gyro turned out to be ranch, which I'd noticed large jugs of sitting in the deli area. I'd paid for an extra side of sauce to go, which again, I had assumed would be a garlic sauce/toum/something different since it was listed as "special sauce". This turned out to be ranch, too. The service was fine, and the tiny waiting area has lots of jars and packages of halal grocery items, which is pretty cool. I'd like to go back and try some of the platters to see if they were more substantial.

It is next to a veterinary practice. There are yellow umbrellas out front. If you place a mobile order through the app you can use the drive thru. The drive thru is for mobile order pick ups only.

I love their grilled chicken and roasted white sweet potatoes. My favorite dressing is the white balsamic date. My husband enjoys the pitas. He has gotten a wide variety of options. We both love their pita chips with tzatziki. Cava is healthy, fresh, delicious food everyone can be happy with eating for lunch or dinner.

There is something to catch your eyes everywhere. It is wonderful. Let's talk homemade Turkish delights. I have only had the ones that have been sitting forever in a box. If you are like me Ephesus will change how you feel about Turkish delights. They have an array of different flavors and types. We got a box to share. The incredible folks behind the bar let us taste a few. They are scrumptious! We sat and had iced Turkish coffee and the delights there. My only suggestion would be to get the coffee hot not iced. Because it will be gritty due to how it is made. And if you do not enjoy a strong cup of coffee it is not meant for you. I throughly enjoyed the taste! I look forward to going back and tasting the other side of the bar with baklava and pastries! Oh and perhaps get a tea for variety too!

We visited Naan Appetit for the first time last weekend and really enjoyed ourselves. There are a…read morecouple of notable things about Naan Appetit that I feel I must share because there is a similarly highly rated Indian restaurant within a stones throw away from Naan that it that also deserves comparison. I will review that restaurant under separate cover, but just know that when comparing this one to Persis, I would rate Naan Appetit as the better restaurant. But ultimately they are two different experiences within the Indian food category and for that reason are very hard to compare (more on that in the Persis review). But now let's talk about Naan Appetit. So what I really like about this restaurant is the value for the ambience and atmosphere. This is a very nicely appointed restaurant that I actually thought was a furniture store before we realized it was an actual restaurant. Very well appointed well designed and upscale in look, feel and function. Service is very strong with multiple servers and front of house greeting you immediately upon entry. We were seated within 3 to 5 minutes of walking in, and this was on a Friday night with a fairly full house. Once we were seated, our server immediately came over, provided us with menus and gave us a bit of information about the restaurant. We then proceed to ask a couple of questions about level of spice, and were really pleased with the servers descriptions of the various items on the menu and which ones we may or may not want to avoid depending on our spice level preference. I really appreciated the way the menu was set up which allowed for fairly easy decision making when it came to what we wanted to order. We went with mostly traditional entrees, ordering the lamb vindaloo, and the korma. Both were authentic and very well seasoned and spiced. We also ordered a couple of the garlic butter Naan bread, which were also really good. And lastly, we tried out the tandoori wings, which I had read on previous Yelp reviews were a highlight of the restaurant. When we first asked the server about them, he seemed a bit reluctant to recommend them because of the time it would take for them to be delivered to our table, which was approximately 30 minutes. We told him we weren't in a rush and didn't have anywhere else to be so we were totally fine with ordering them. It turns out that they ended up coming to the table before our appetizers even made it. So a bit of an overblown concern there. Outside of that little wrinkle, our overall experience was really pleasurable, especially given the sub $100 price point we paid including tip. This is definitely one of the restaurants we will be going to during our stay here in Savannah. And if I had to give the best advice on the difference between this restaurant and the other, I would say pick this for date night and pick the other one for family night.
