Wow! This place was an absolute gem. We originally had a reservation elsewhere but decided to…read morecancel because we weren't very hungry and the reservation time was a little early. While we were out walking on King Street, a local recommended Stella's, and I'm so glad they did. We walked over from our Airbnb and immediately loved the space. The restaurant has two U-shaped bars in the center, which is my husband and my favorite place to sit when dining out. We went in with zero expectations and hadn't even looked at the menu beforehand, but everything ended up being incredible. The drinks were fantastic, and our bartender/server was so sweet. Even though we were one of the last couples seated that evening, we never felt rushed and were able to enjoy the meal at our own pace. We ordered the non-breaded calamari and a shrimp dish, and the calamari was honestly the best I've ever had. It was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and the artichokes that came with it were so delicious. Every bite made me happy. We finished with the tiramisu, which our bartender recommended, and it was absolutely outstanding--easily the best tiramisu I've ever had. I'm still dreaming about this meal and would come back in a heartbeat the next time I'm in Charleston.

The absolute best falafels I have ever had in my life! I love falafel and have have them frequently…read morein restaurants ranging from fine to casual dining. What really separates these falafels is the robust range of spices and complex flavor into the traditional falafel, texture and flavors. The falafel appetizer platter came with four pieces and they were basically gone as soon as they arrived to the table as our entire family ate immediately. Including our pickiest eating family member, who enjoyed theirs too! Exceptional! The halloumi is fantastic and cooked perfectly. It had a nice seasoning on top of it which differentiated it from others I have had before. Everyone at our table enjoyed it. It came with four pieces. The grape leaves were a delight. They had a more robust complex flavor palette than Greek style grape leaves. They were served warm, however they were not dried out like sometimes grape leaves are when they're brought to a table warm. These were beautifully seasoned and had nice moisture to them. The size of each was about that of a ring finger. I can not remember hot many pieces were on the plate but it was more than 4. We ordered the chefs hummus with the pine nuts and pomegranate seeds. It was delicious and a great texture. Pretty much par for the course. My entrée was the Mujadra lentil and rice dish. The flavors were absolutely phenomenal. At first, I was thinking about getting the lentil soup for lunch, but then decided to try under the vegetarian section of the menu the lentil plate. The lentils and rice were placed in a circle mold on the plate. With pretty pieces of salad coming out from four different places. There were pine nuts, chopped, and placed a top of the rice and lentils. Everyone at the table tried my dish and even though we all four have very different favorite flavors and foods everyone agreed it tasted phenomenal and was absolutely delicious. Another family member ordered the lentil soup. They really enjoyed that and they also took some rice off of their spouse's plate and put it in the lentil soup which was a nice pairing. Spouse had the beef kebab cooked, medium rare. The temperature on the kebab for cooking was absolutely perfect! The texture pinkness, and overall cooking was beautifully done to a true medium rare. He had french fries as his side those were just as perfectly cooked as everything else that came out of the kitchen of this restaurant. They were nice and crisp with a good flavor. Three of our four family members tried and agreed they were very nicely done fries crispy all around and not floppy soft. Another family member ordered the Shish Tawook. They were completely in love and smitten with the garlic sauce that came with it. It is divine and tastes beautiful on the chicken. Rice was beautifully cooked as well. The accompaniments of lettuce, pita and oil was delicious. Dessert was baklava. Like every other part of the meal, we had it had a really nice blend of spices and flavor to it. We got it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. All of the desserts on the menu are made in house. One of our family members doesn't tend to like homemade ice cream however she liked this ice cream because she thought the texture was really brilliant for it being made in house at a restaurant. The baklava comes with three pieces. I would love for them to open a restaurant near where we live. If we lived here we would come in 2-3 times a week. Near the end of our meal, we heard some of the restaurant team speaking with another table of regulars. We overheard that they were short staffed that day as someone had called in. We never absolutely would not have guessed that. They seamlessly checked on our table, brought everything out in a timely manner, and none of the plates were hot like they had been sitting at expo waiting to come out to the table for a while. It was wonderful hospitality, with great care and checking in. Our server was a sweet and attentive person. Simply removing plates as we finished and refilling drinks. No one at our table was in want or need of anything as he kept it all well filled. I think the biggest compliment I can give is one family member always has room for dessert. They loved their meal in the appetizer so much they could not have any dessert. Which coming from them a huge dessert person is quite the praise.

***This is a review of the food truck in West Ashley***…read more 10/10 spot. Food will take a bit to come out so don't expect it to be ready in 15-20 min. We sat waiting in the outside dining patio that is super cute with running fans and music playing. The patio area was clean when we sat down, but I assume it probably isn't that well kept up with during the weekends without someone checking the area periodically. Service was friendly, only 2 people running it when we went during lunch time on a Tuesday. The food is literal heaven. Haven't found an authentic Greek spot until now. Loved the feta pimento cheese dip- never heard of it so it peaked my interest. Will be going back just for that on my fries. Nothing was bad, or mediocre. The mango hand pressed lemonade was really good too. Can't wait to bring more friends and family here.

Great Greek Mediterranean Grill is a solid option for lunch on James Island. It's on the way (and…read morevery close) to Folly Beach, so keep that in mind, especially on summer days because traffic backs up. I came here with a group of friends when we were on a lunch break working on the island. I had a Greek veggie wrap, which was pretty small. It had hummus, veggies, and tzatziki in it, but the ingredients were mixed together into a tzatziki-based "salad" rather than whole in the wrap like I thought they might be. It is also a wrap, not a pita. I love pita, but it is neat that they serve wraps too, since most places don't. Others in my friend group ordered rice bowls, which was a really large portion for your money, and one friend's gyro looked solid. One of my friends is gluten free, and if you are, you'll find lots of options here. The same goes if you're vegetarian. Everyone was able to find something here with no arguments, which is always nice with a group. The prices seem a little expensive for what you get; at least I thought so with my wrap. Rice bowls seem like a better portion for the money. I would come back again with friends, but I would try something else next time.

KAIRO'S MEDITERRANEAN - FIVE STARS & THREE THUMBS UP!…read more I honestly cannot believe my wife and I have been coming to Kairo's Mediterranean for several years and I've never written them a proper review. So this one is LONG overdue! This has easily become one of our favorite places to eat. We probably come here twice a week, and there's a reason we keep coming back. THE FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Everything tastes incredibly fresh, authentic and flavorful, and it's one of those places where you can eat a big meal and still feel like you ate something healthy. And I have to specifically mention the tzatziki. My wife and I have traveled throughout Greece and visited several of the Greek islands, so we've had the real thing plenty of times. It can actually be surprisingly difficult to find tzatziki back home that tastes the way it does in Greece. Kairo's absolutely nails it. It's fresh, creamy, authentic and delicious. Honestly, everything we've tried here is packed with flavor. The best way I can describe walking out of Kairo's is this: You have a circus in your mouth! There are just so many different flavors going on, and somehow they all work perfectly together. GREAT PORTIONS WITHOUT CRAZY PRICES Another thing I really appreciate about Kairo's is the value. Eating out has gotten expensive just about everywhere, but you can still come here and get a fantastic meal without spending a fortune. We regularly get a huge platter with fries, drinks and tzatziki, and the value is incredible. You can easily have a great meal here for roughly $10-$12 per person, depending on what you order. They also have a surprisingly large selection of drinks, which is another nice touch. But as good as the food is, there's something even better... THE PEOPLE & THE SERVICE! For me, great service can completely change a restaurant experience, and the team at Kairo's is absolutely spectacular. They've had many of the same people working here for years, which says a lot by itself. Everyone is friendly, polite and welcoming, and you can tell the team genuinely gets along and enjoys working together. And I have to give a special shout-out to the manager, Griffin. This guy is AWESOME. He knows us by name, remembers what we order and takes care of us every single time we walk through the door. That kind of personal service is becoming harder and harder to find. Griffin and his team don't make you feel like another customer walking through the line -- they make you feel like family. The restaurant is also always immaculate. Every time we're there, somebody is cleaning, wiping things down or making sure everything looks right. The whole place is consistently spotless. After several years and probably more meals here than I could possibly count, Kairo's continues to deliver every single time. Authentic Mediterranean flavors Fresh, delicious food Fantastic tzatziki Huge portions Excellent prices Tons of drink choices Spotlessly clean Incredible staff Outstanding management And most importantly -- CONSISTENCY! If you love Mediterranean food and haven't tried Kairo's yet, put it on your list. This isn't just somewhere we occasionally stop for lunch or dinner anymore. It has become one of our regular places -- and one of our absolute favorites. FIVE STARS AND THREE THUMBS UP FROM US! Keep doing exactly what you're doing, Griffin and the entire Kairo's team. You guys have created something special, and we'll definitely keep coming back!

As an extreme Cava lover, I never thought a bowl-centered fast food place would be better than…read morethat, but I stand corrected, because Kairos has become my absolute favorite place to get a bowl. I usually just make my own bowl based off of my mood. It's always good and the ingredients are always fresh and flavorful. The MP location was a little bit dirty at the time I was there, but they were also busy so they might not have had a minute to wipe down tables. The service is pretty reliable. Not to compare too much but I've had some issues with the service at Cava recently, so Kairos is winning in my book!
