    Chicken kabob
    Richard G.

    I just got back from this place, opened up the bag only to find both orders with the wrong sides. I ordered 1 beef kabob with tzatziki and hummus and 1 chicken kabob with tzatziki and hummus. I specifically said hummus and tzatziki for both orders. I never mentioned salad at all. The food was good. This place has the potential to be a 5 star... but certainly not on this trip. The two bags of utensils i received, one was open and had no fork or knife. I hoped they checked these things before handing me a used utensil bag with missing items. The beef was overcooked, leaving a dry and crunchy taste. The worst part of this entire ordeal is that i tipped $5 when ordering. If i knew all this was going to happen, i wouldn't have tipped anything. The biggest disappointment is the wrong sides, of course. The establishment itself was clean and well lit. Maybe next time...

    Beef Shawrma wrap
    Stephanie E.

    Overall the food was flavorless, the only thing that was decent or had flavor was the mix grill plate, the hummus had no flavor, tasted really weird, never had hummus that was oily with no seasoning. The beef wrap had no seasoning, the meat wasn't pleasant too much fat, every time you take a bite you get chunks of meat that you had to spit out and couldn't chew. I would only recommend the mixed grill plate. Avoid the hummus. Amazing salad, rice and the meats were really grilled to perfection, so much flavor. The chicken wrap was also mid. For the price please go somewhere else.

    We walked in today to place a few orders. Considering they had just opened, the server was friendly and informed us it would take a certain time as to be was going for make fresh rice, we were okay with the time line. Glad we waited, the food came out very tasty! My family really liked it, and it was plenty in the dish. he played music while we waited in the patio for the music, the ambiance was calm. We highly recommend this place! We will definitely come back.

    Careful with this restaurant. I ordered food today and they gave me moldy food. I would go somewhere else if this is the quality food they are serving their customers. Just skip this spot

    Store bought pita bread

    Ordered for delivery and dressing was missing on all salads, soda was missing, and a bag of store bought pita bread was given to us! Not even cut or warmed up. Very disappointing.

    Gyro Wrap
    Eve H.

    *FOOD QUALITY* Overall: Great food with a super chill atmosphere of hookah and cards to play poker/other games should you be in the mood for it! The service was superb, the price was fair, and I would come back again, it's a quality gem of a gyro spot! Chicken Kabob Entree (4/5) - Delicious, loved the salad, rice, and grilled chicken! The meat was a little on the dry side but balanced out the entire dish with the rest of the plate. The hummus was yummy, swaying more on the sour side, and I enjoyed that this plate was light and not heavy. Gyro (4.5/5) - Great gyro with well-prepared ingredients and a nice, sturdy wrap. They did a good job of portioning out each part of the gyro so that each bite was delicious and evenly paced. *CUSTOMER SERVICE* Super fantastic service! I came a couple hours before closing on a weeknight, where surrounding restaurants were already closed. There were a couple parties but the restaurant was primarily quiet. The server was kind and really attentive to serving appetizers and cleaning our plates, catering to me and my partner by offering extra plates and utensils when he learned we were sharing our food family-style! *AMBIANCE* The restaurant is in tucked in the same plaza as the Edwards Cinema with the entrance facing away from the street and parking lot. It has a dome shape which is reflected in the high ceilings and the inside is quite spacious, with an outside patio space that's also roomy. It was clean and comfortable inside, with a spacious bathroom as well! *PARKING* Free and plentiful parking, either across the street or in the lot to the back of the restaurant/Edwards Cinema! i'm

    Veggie Combo (Falafel and Grape leaves)
    Raquel E.

    I got the late night craving for some bomb Mediterranean food and boy was I glad I found Jasmine Cafe!! I called in my order for pickup and they had it hot, fresh and ready in the 10-15 min it took me to Drive over. The service was great! The gentleman who helped me was named Ron and he was so kind and generous! Now the food! I got the falafel entree plate. It was 3 falafel on a bed of rice with grape leaves and I thought I'd prefer the falafel (since it's my fave in general) and I DID! It was soooo perfect. Not dry at all, delicious crunch on the outside and soft and warm and yummy on the inside. Lol. But the grape leaves!!!!! SO GOOD. An unexpected surprise. I wonder if I've only had mid grape leaves before today lol Hummus was yummy, rice was cooked perfectly but I'd say didn't have as much flavor punch as I expected after the grape leaves. Still good though! Ambiance was calm and smelled nice like hookah. No loud music (which is great IMO), just conversation and good vibes. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Beef and lamb
    Kenneth X.

    Mina is the man! We ordered the mixed grill and the beef and lamb. It was delicious! The service was on point, Mina was kind and he knew we had to wait a bit so he offered us dessert to try. There are indoor and outdoor seating so great for everyone who prefers either or. 10/10 would recommend for a place to hangout, grab good food, and chill.

    Food is great here every time. Usually order for pickup. They had baklava my first visit, but ever since then they've been out. Hope to see it back because it was delicious.

We came for brunch and I had this delicious crepe with cheese, cucumbers and za'atar. My husband is allergic to eggs but he had the classic breakfast and they substituted eggs for avocado which they suggested. He really enjoyed the toast, bacon, potatoes and avocado.

Today, my friend and I ordered a Coke and an ice water and sat in the lounge area to work on assignments. The café was far from full, with only a couple of other people in the lounge and plenty of open seating available. After about an hour, the owner came over and rudely told us we were "holding two tables over a Coke" and pressured us to order more. I understand businesses need customers to make purchases, but there is a respectful way to communicate that. What made the situation worse was that after I ordered a coffee, she immediately turned to my friend and basically stared him down with a strict look, clearly expecting him to order something too. I explained that we were going to split the coffee, because we're both trying to lose weight, but she continued making the situation uncomfortable. Staring down a customer and making them feel pressured to spend more money is not how you treat paying customers. What makes this even more frustrating is that the menu is already severely overpriced for what is offered. On multiple occasions, I've heard the microwave running while food was being prepared. Paying premium prices for what appears to be microwaved food is disappointing enough without being pressured to spend even more. Even though we only ordered a Coke initially, and have only done that once before, we were still spending money. As regular customers who come here often, you would think that would be appreciated rather than criticized. Be thankful people are still choosing to spend money at your business. Honestly, after today's experience, it's no wonder this place is often empty. Customer service and hospitality matter, and making customers feel unwelcome, guilty, or pressured to spend more is a great way to drive them away. The interaction was uncomfortable enough that I asked for my food to be packed to go and left. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. It's a cafe, not a 5 star restaurant. People want to come here to work on assignments or have a coffee and talk. Even though I didn't want to spend 9 dollars on a coffee, I still purchased something. Edit from her Google response: Now you guys see what type of owner she is by her response. Truly, truly a fake person, and we always spend money coming here (now she wants to lie and manipulate since I have her attention). I always purchase a coffee and more, and I have receipts to prove it. I do not use her WiFi for free, as I am not a rude person unlike her. I don't just order a soda like this owner claims; see my receipts on my credit card. My friend and I ordered drinks and were talking and doing assignments for about half an hour (while she and her waiter came up to us like 10 times to ask us to order, even though this is a cafe), even though we said we would order later. If you're broke, just say so, lady. Trust me, at this rate, this place will close down soon. Like I said, this is a cafe where people come to have a drink, relax, talk, study, or work on assignments; not a restaurant where customers are expected to order a full meal every time they sit down. We purchased drinks, planned to order more later, and were still repeatedly approached and pressured to order. Please do yourself a favor and stop lying to the public. I did not come here four times and just use the WiFi. I paid for the WiFi with my extremely expensive and disgusting coffee and food, which is shown below in the receipts. I did not buy $2 sodas every time. The receipts I attached are from my card, but on many of the other visits my friend paid with his card and spent just as much. So trying to claim that we were sitting here for free or only ordering a soda is simply not true.Now that I have proved you wrong in front of the public, I hope everyone sees you for who you are. You are a money-hungry liar! Lastly, you are right; you're not Starbucks. Starbucks would not treat customers that way, and I'd much rather spend my money at Starbucks anyway.Glad we're on the same page!

When I left, the tables got packed. I tried the platter for two, which came with a load of delicious rice, three proteins, roasted tomatoes and peppers.

The food is delicious and the prices are appropriate given the portion sizes. Service was prompt and professional. Parking might be a challenge, though there are public lots within a block or two. We went on a Friday night and encountered heavy traffic from the local farmer's market/fair. The best item was the Beef kabob, 5 out of 5 stars. It was perfectly cooked, a very simply salt and pepper seasoning, juicy and simply divine! We got the kids meal, which came with only 4 pieces, and I'd be interested to return for the full adult portion. Also a 5-star experience was the Fried cauliflower appetizer. It had just the right amount of crispiness, without any blackening, and the garlic/parsley/lemon juice combo worked well. The juice was sucked into all the crevices, and overall it was light. I think I could have eaten two portions myself and called it a satisfying meal. I did dip in some tzatziki, which worked great too! Lastly the Chicken shawarma was a 4-star dish. Still delicious and I'd get it again, but it was slightly salty from the marinade and added sauce. I was expecting this to be wrapped up, but it was more an open-face naan with the chicken covering the top. Rice pilaf was savory, I'd rather not know just how many calories are included, the rice was still moist even after reheating the next day.

Definitely a acquired taste/flavor. My kibeh plate was good, I do wish they had more side options besides the rice or olive salad, my boyfriend was not a fan of olives and the salad was absolutely overwhelming. Offering perhaps hummus, or the Mediterranean simple salad as side options would've been nice, and I know fries is also an option but we were trying to cut out fried/carbs. The outdoor seating was nice but with folks smoking hookah around us, it became a little overwhelming while dining. Perhaps outdoor patio fans installed to air out the patio only seating would've been nice to keep the air circulating because even on an outdoor patio on a warm day it could be alot for the respiratory system. Not sure if we would return here, especially with so many great places like Tuts, Diplomat, Oasis and Limone.
