Honestly, this isn't the best falafel pita I've had. I found it a little dry - not to say it wasn't fresh, but the pita was very floury and the sauce was hummus or tahini instead of a thinner yogurt sauce and it was very dense - I needed something a little more cooling to balance out the rest. It was satisfying but just not my style. I'd give it another chance and try other items.

Well last night we had our first bad experience, the gyro seemed to have a different taste profile and the fries are 100% different. The gyro was still good but we preferred the original taste profile vs the change ( or new chef). On a normal I would have given them 5 stars, so I only went down one because I am hoping this does not happen again. I would still highly recommend them

The two guys are in the car or super friendly and helpful despite a growing line behind us to our indecisions. They have meat on the spit as well as a supply that has been pre-sliced sitting on the griddle. You can order either chicken, lamb or a combo. Everyone in our party got the lamb. There's about 20 different toppings and sauces that you can have them put on at no extra charge. Kind of a cool little dining area to eat with a bunch of small tables. Th pita was soft and fresh and the toppings or all high-quality and traditional. For $13 you get enough for a meal and leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

I had ordered it through Doordash and it was delivered warm, stacked to the brim, and so flavorful! I had the combo box that comes with chicken and lamb and I also chose spicy rice with lettuce, banana peppers, white sauce, green sauce, and hot sauce and the flavors all go super well together. I also really appreciate that it comes with sliced pita pieces. I had ordered this on Wednesday and immediately ordered again Friday night. This might become one of my new go-to's! Their servings are easily big enough for two meals or one to share.

The meats were melt in your mouth savory and delicious, and although the sauces were already generous (amazing!) the extra just further enhanced the meal.

I will certainly be ordering again.

Chicken, beef and lamb over rice with salad and sauce with two slices of pita over the top to soak up the juices! All for $15. I really feel like i got more than my money's worth, enjoyed the meal, and would go back hoping to try something else but would likely get this again because it was so good. Filling, flavorful, and Full sized. I ate about 3/4s and will have some more for tommorrow.

Our server was the son who's one of the owners and it's obvious how much he cares about the restaurant and his guests. We really felt taken care of in a way that tands out compared to a lot of restaurants. The dining room was busy but he always took the time to check on us, joke with us, and make us feel absolutely welcome. We both got mocktails. Mine was so flavorful and refreshing, just the right mix of tart and sweet. For our first course we got the spicy feta hummus which is homemade and served with homemade pita. The bread was warmed and very light. The hummus was rich. I loved the kick of the spices and the creaminess of the feta, the exact right amount of heat. For my main I got the fried cauliflower wrap with lentil soup. The soup was warming, well spiced, and perfectly comforting. The wrap was unreal in its flavor. Well seasoned cauliflower fried the exact perfect amount, fresh lettuce and tomato, a creamy sauce. Divine. I was stuffed halfway through but soldiered on because it was so delicious I couldn't put it down. Very reasonably priced as well. Didn't have a bad bite or sip here and I suspect that if I ordered everything on the menu, I'd love it all. This is an outstanding mediterranean restaurant in a city that has no shortage of them. Absolutely worth the drive out to Manlius. Go watch the swans, walk around town, and have a wonderful meal here, you won't regret it.

My wife and I visited Diwan for dinner for the first time last night (7/10/26) after hearing so…read moremany great things about it. We were excited to finally give it a try, and the food absolutely lived up to the hype. This was easily the best Middle Eastern food we've had in Central New York. We started with the hummus appetizer, which was fresh, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the delicious house-made and warm pita. I ordered the beef and lamb gyro, and my wife had the beef kebabs. Both meals were outstanding, and we'll definitely be back for the food. Unfortunately, what keeps me from leaving a five-star review was the service we received from our server, Megan. I'm not sure whether it was because we arrived about an hour before closing or if she was simply having an off night, but from the beginning, the service felt rushed and inattentive, and it never improved. Just a couple of minutes after we were seated, she asked if we were ready to order. When we said we were still looking over the menu, she simply replied, "Okay," and walked away without asking if we had any questions or explaining the menu. My wife had to stop her as she was walking away to ask what drinks were available. A few minutes later, when she returned to take our order, she took our appetizer order and my wife's entrée order while looking around the dining room, said "thank you," and immediately started walking away without taking my order. I had to stop her so I could order my meal. During our meal, while I had my gyro in hand and was about to take another bite, I noticed her standing beside our table preparing the payment terminal. My wife looked at her, the server said "sorry" and then set down the payment terminal on the neighboring table instead. Once we were finished, she handed us the payment terminal and then asked whether we'd like dessert or coffee, after already presenting the check, which felt a bit odd. After I paid, I was in the middle of selecting how I wanted my receipt when she took the payment terminal away before I could finish, leaving me unable to receive an itemized receipt for our meal. The food was exceptional, and we'll absolutely be back because the kitchen deserves every bit of the praise it receives. That said, we'll be requesting a different server next time. The service we experienced tonight was disappointing and didn't match the quality of the food. On a positive note, there was another server working this evening who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I didn't catch her name, but she left a much better impression and reflected the kind of hospitality we were hoping to experience.

We also got the Dakshin's Veg Sampler, which was the only miss. The ratio of fried batter to vegetable was very very high, but if you like that sort of thing, than you will appreciate this dish.

It is nicely lit and decorated. The servers were delightful and attentive. Although there is a bar, there was no bartender the night we visited. The waitstaff took turns manning it, so drinks took a little while. The drinks were well made. However, we came for the food, and it did not disappoint. I can't tell you exactly what we ordered. We tried an appetizer sampler, some garlic naan, and several entrees. It was all fabulous. We do not have Indian cuisine where we live, so this meal was a treat. Check out the photos. I strongly suggest trying Dakshin when you're looking for some excellent Indian cuisine. You will not be disappointed.

They really put flavor and seasoning into everything they do and I genuinely love everything on their menu. Pickle and sauce fans will be happy because they always put white sauces, hot sauces, and a variety of pickled veg with their orders. If you're ordering for a group or catering this a particularly good place to order from - it's really easy to find dietary friendly accommodations such as vegetarian and gluten free, while also feeding a crowd for a reasonable price. I've ordered for work events a few times and everyone raved about the flavor while I myself had an easy time with the ordering process. Only thing I learned is *clapping* I need to order more fafafel next time!!! It's a hit with everyone and definitely not just for vegetarians. Whether you're just swinging by at the Salt City Market or ordering for a crowd I recommend Baghdad. They're some of the best middle eastern food in Syracuse.
