    Salad, had a whole piece of bell pepper and onion. Had to cut it up. Also had olives with pits...
    Jaymes C.

    Don't even know where to start, this place was terrible. The gyro had one (1) thin sliver of gyro meat, packed with lettuce. Almost no flavor to the meat. The salad.... Who in their right mind sells a Greek salad with olives that have not been pitted. Bit into an olive to find a pit. A whole onion and bell pepper slice that I had to cut up myself. The place currently doesn't have air conditioning. Door was propped open, it was 89 degrees outside. The place itself is dirty, outdated, and a more or less just stuff everywhere. The service was good. The owner was nice. Didn't seem very interested in talking at all. But he did recommend the gyro.

    This is a Huntsville staple for middle eastern / Greek food . I love this little restaurant and Mr Jamo is a very pleasant man who gives outstanding service

    Chicken Shawarma with side order of Falafel.
    Douglas V.

    First the food was pretty good. I tried the chicken shawarma. It was seasoned nicely, and dressed with pickles and onions. I also tried falafel. They were very good.Clearly not out of a box. They were served with a small but adequate portion of hummus. Also made on site. Jamo's Cafe, appears to have been here in the same spot since the 1980's, and the ambiance shows that. It's a small place but the seating is comfortable. The service was questionable, but it is what it is, to the extent that it was 5pm-ish. The proprietor's daughter was apparently "holding the fort down" and she clearly appeared to be somewhat out of her element. As she was totaling up my order I had to ask about a drink to go with my food. She wasn't unpleasant but she was not exactly customer friendly. This might be a fluke as they say. Before I say "don't bother", with Jamo's Cafe, I'll give it another try, say around lunchtime perhaps. As it stands I can say that the food I ordered wasn't epic, but it was good. 3 stars for now.

    Knowing what to rate this place was pretty difficult. The quality of the food was good, but it wasn't somewhere you'd make an effort to go back. The price is very inexpensive making the cafe a great place to stop for a casual lunch. However, 2 major issues here. Their olives have pits in them, which is just a recipe for disaster. I discovered the first pitted olive as a garnish, which was fine. But my salad had pitted olives as well which is like a death trap for the teeth. Secondly, the layout of the parking lot is actually terrible, I wish there was more parking behind the restaurant. I tried their Greek salad, nothing special but not bad, and their hummus. The hummus was very good, but the pita was not as soft as expected and slightly chewy.

    Shrimp, humus, fish and shrimp, rice, flat sandwich bread, salad an assorted olives peppers onions tomatoes.

    Quality matches the price - super family friendly environment. I don't know if the guy who owns the place is named Jamos but he for sure spent some years somewhere learning to prepare dishes. Love love love this place. I want to diet when eating something like this.

    Lamb Kabobs Plate
    Netta M.

    First time eating here and I was very impressed. The establishment really never appealed to me from the outside but boy I have been missing out! First thing first, the Chai Tea here is amaaaaaazing! Smooth, creamy and tasty! We took some to go for the Christmas Parade and added some spiced rum to it. Try this and thank me later. WHOOOOMAGAWD Secondly, the lamb kabobs were delicious! They were cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. The plate was served with rice, salad, fruit, hummus and pita bread. Now, I wasn't a big fan of the pita bread. I prefer my pita bread soft and fluffy (like my mama's biscuits lol) and this pita bread was the opposite but it was tolerable. My bf ordered the Gyro Plate and his sides were pretty much the same except he had taziki sauce instead of hummus. The food was good and fresh! I will be back. :)

    Plenty of outdoor (and indoor) seating!

Had to get Shish Kofta and Hummus Tabouleh again. Current manager didn't know how S. K. designed the SPICY Chicken Crème Chop, so I decided to come back another time.

Still recommended. But the new favorite is the tenderloin Saijji. Well flavored tenderloin with on OUT of this world BOLD TANGY sauce. This is a unique moth sensation. 'Not spicy.

They serve Pepsi products and do not offer alcohol, but do have a large selection of fresh fruit juices. This is not a gyro place - if you want a gyro, you will be disappointed. This is an Mediterranean place that offers a lot of middle eastern dishes; pitas, shwarmma, hummus, tabbouleh etc. The meats are heavily spiced; they offer lamb which is nice. All the servings were huge when it came to rice and fries, you won't leave hungry. I didn't think the prices were bad ($50+ tip) for 2 adults and a kid; I ordered an extra pita to try out the Sajji beef. The spices and flavors are strong and might not be your cup of tea but the staff was super friendly and nice, they gave us fresh warm bread on the way out. Give it a shot.
