We have ordered takeout from Kinzi a couple of times and it may just be our new favorite spot for Mediterranean food in Kansas City! Everything we have tried has been delicious- the chicken shawarma plate, gyro plate, hummus with pita, spicy lamb curry, and spanakopita. I do have to say the prices are a little higher than other places in the area, but the food is very good. The portion for the hummus and pita bread appetizer is humongous! We will definitely order takeout from here in the future! read more

A hidden gem in Roeland Park...! This is a great spot for affordable high quality Mediterranean. We walked to the location from our house and ordered carry out at the desk. We waited outside for 10-15 minutes before they brought out our order!! Great friendly service. We ordered the lam gyro plate which came with hummus and veggies. We also ordered the Greek salad - so good. And the feta cheese dip, which is basically a deconstructed Greek salad. Our entire meal was just around 20 dollars!! We will be back soon! They also offer delivery on Grubhub. read more

Is it me or is all Greek food delicious?! I've had Greek food from TX, MS, LA, and now KS! I haven't had a bad meal yet! This was my fist time visiting and I ordered the Gyro with hummus and added rice! The GYRO was packed with meat, he hummus was thick and creamy and the rice was soft and fluffy! Come here! You won't be disappointed. read more

Hidden gem. Their hummus and pita are really great. I recommend this place all the time

Fabulous food. We had the Kabobs and Gyro Salad, plus a side if hummus and Turkish Coffee. I have had Turkish coffee that good since I was in Baghdad. We had the food delivered to the house and the order was correct, which doesn't always happen for us. read more

Kinzi has gyros and shawarma. The gyros are average, not great but not terrible. The shawarma was disappointing in my opinion. Not really authentic, okay in flavor and cut really thick. The hummus and pita was very good. The owner was very nice and attentive and the atmosphere was calm and very pleasant. If you're looking for something authentic, this is probably not your place, but still a decent place to stop in for lunch. read more

Kinzi - Chicken shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Mission, Kansas

Enjoyed our dinner here. Lots of clearly marked vegan options, which you know is one way for a restaurant to win my heart. :) My favorite thing is the zaatar pie! The staff is friendly and efficient. The restaurant stayed busy the entire time we were there and they kept up with the pace. Glad to see this little gem added to Mission's restaurant lineup. Hope they stick around! read more

The prices are good and my takeout order was ready on time, but I didn't love my gyro. It seemed hastily thrown together, with big chunks romaine lettuce spine and a piece of the bulb of an onion. The pita was also pretty dry. However, the gyro meat was good, and hummus was very good as well. Overall, not bad for a quick meal in a pinch, just a little underwhelming. read more

Kinzi - Gyro sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Mission, Kansas

I really like the flavor of the food here. When I eat here I usually get it to go which is a gyro plate with basmatti rice, lamb, grilled veggies (green peppers, squash and onion) along with pita bread and hummus. I also order the bakleva. This food taste really authentic! My mother always made basmatti rice growing up and it tasted like hers. I will say the first time I was almost turned off from going back, the man at the cashier was shouting at one of the cooks in the back in a very degrating way and it made me think if that is the way they treat there employees I dont think I ever want to go back but I said I would try one more time and ive been back 3 times and never saw the man who was being disrespectful to the staff again, so hopefully he doesnt work there anymore. He was a younger man, slim with dark hair. Now I only see a woman who works there and she is delightful. read more

Tasty. Friendly. Hard working, and occasionally overwhelmed. I'd recommend calling on the earlier side, lately they've gotten overwhelmed with orders and haven't been able to answer the phone or even do a walk-in takeout order. I don't begrudge it during this delta variant resurgence, but I hope they're able to tighten things up in the future. I want to eat their food. read more

I love this place. I go here often for lunch. I like to order from the appetizer menu. It's large enough for a meal and then some. Tabbouleh from here is my favourite. Always super fresh and so flavourful. They have a lot of take-away orders so people come and go a lot while you eat though the restaurant is never full during lunch when I'm here. As with most Mediterranean restaurants there are ample vegan and vegetarian choices on the menu. read more

The food is delicious, Mediterranean is absolutely my favorite kind of cuisine. However, it's difficult to order with Kinzi over the phone. They don't always answer, and sometimes when they do, they tell you to "hold," though they don't have a phone system with a hold line, and leave the phone sitting intermittently on their counter. Going in a usually pretty simple though. I tend to order the chicken shawarma plate with garlic sauce. I prefer a whole piece of pita, so I can make a sandwich out of everything, but Kinzi cute then into triangles, harder to get all the goodness on one bite that way. Not the friendliest or best service but very delicious! read more

Another decent Mediterranean place in the area! I think we have now tried most of the Mediterranean places in KC suburbs, this one is another decent, clean and standard Mediterranean food. We had the lentil soup, beef shawarma plate, chicken shawarma plate, chicken biryani and the Burma pistachio in the end. Plates were a good mix w/ rice/ meat/grilled veggies/tzatziki sauce, hummus and pita on the side. Everything was good! I have a couple of things I would like to add; not to criticize at all but a point for improvement: - we went on a Sunday afternoon after checking it would be open. We get there, according to the sign on the door, time was ok too- but the door was locked and open sign unlit. We almost left, then occurred to me to call. And good thing I did, they picked up and said they had forgotten to turn the sign on and unlock the door! - the lady who was serving said they had some appliance malfunction in the back and they were running a little behind; that was nice she told us that, and also nice of them to get us zaatar pie and tea for free, while we waited for our food - my son had asked to substitute the hummus on his plate to baba ghanoush, which they had said they could, but forgot to actually do it. So taking a point away for professionalism, otherwise great place I think! read more

Excellent Mediterranean food near KC! Some of the best hummus and falafel I've found in the area.

I really enjoyed the food and the service! I would recommend getting the gyro platter and an order of falafel. My only note is I wish there was a little more meat on the gyro platter, other than that it was very good. I also ordered the Greek platter which was great as it gave you a little bit of everything. We used it as an appetizer platter. I also got the chicken byrani, what was very flavorful and had a nice spice to it. I did not eat there but the atmosphere was very nice and clean and would have no problem eating in next time. read more

I really wanted to like this place because I've seen how amazing the reviews are, but my meal just did not hit the mark for me unfortunately. I ordered online for pick up, my food was ready when I got there and the lady at the front counter seemed very pleasant. Upon first glance everything looked amazing, the presentation of the food even in to-go containers looked delicious. I started with the tabbouleh because having a friend from Lebanon, I was really excited to try this from here because it sounded authentic based off their description on the menu. The flavor itself is great, very seasoned and lemony, but most tabbouleh I've had usually has more veggies beyond just the parsley so that bummed me out a little, but the flavor was still fantastic! Next I tried the Hummus, because the presentation was done nicely even for to-go ordering. The flavor on the other hand, was lacking something for me. All I could taste was the tahini. The pita bread was very good and soft in texture, but I do wish I was given more than three quarters of a pita bread for the amount of Hummus provided. Last the gyro - I order a chicken gyro with no tomatoes. At first glance this looked perfect, but once I removed the foil I realized that majority of my pita was just lettuce, and there were maybe about 4 strips of chicken gyro meat in my pita. For the $11.99 charged on the website, I could have ordered from several other places and gotten more meat for less money even. The meat itself was good, just wish I would have been given more of it for the cost (ordered through grubhub for pickup). I feel like with improvements, they could be on my list of go to Mediterranean places. read more

Kinzi - Shawarma Plate and Spanakopita - Mediterranean Near Me - Mission, Kansas

I am hoping I ordered wrong. I had the curry and it was absolutely flavorless. Now, I kinda NEEEEDED this to work out for me, as I am often in the area and like a good spicy cuisine- but the food comes to you LOOKING amazing, but after that first bite I'd realized I was on the hook, as I didn't want to offend them on their seemingly new venture- but I didn't want to stay either. I ate it all with a smile, left my usual more than fair tip- and left. Truthfully the only thing that ran thru my mind as I ate this bland curry- was that I'd been suckered. It was super awkward. I actually do make better curry at home. Sorry ladies read more

I had a horrible experience with this restaurant. We ordered takeout last Sunday and everything was fine and tasty until I bit down on a small pebble in some hummus. About 2mm wide, it was just big enough to crack one of my teeth. I called the restaurant only to get an "I'm so sorry, how about a discount coupon?" response. I know from experience that sometimes small rocks end up in dry beans, but the onus is on the restaurant to catch this and remove them before they get on the customer's plate. Suffice it to say I'll be sending you all my dental bill. read more

The curry dinner was lovely. My family chooses Kinzi any time that they have a choice.

So good! And the people there are always so friendly!!! We always have to get plenty of the pita and hummus because it's so good!

This is a true mom and pop shop in the Johnson drive shopping district. The husband of the shop seems to take care of the front of the house and the wife is in the kitchen cooking delicious meals. The atmosphere can get a little awkward because the restaurant can get really quiet sometimes and if you're dining in, all you hear is the clinging of plates. This could be a good thing because people are focusing on eating! Anyway, the gyro plates and lamb plates are delicious and the Meat is not dry at all. The flavor was on point! The hummus and sauce is really good as well. I will definitely be coming back when I've got a Mediterranean craving! read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM WEBSITE. ALL PRICES ARE $2-$4+ more per entree. Just call in for carry out orders. Your bill will be significantly lower. I ordered carry out for a lunch entree and bowl of soup on their website and it cost me $30- with a 15% tip added! When I walked in I noticed the pricing was significantly different. I asked if I could get a refund- she said the manager was out. I left my name and phone number and got no response. I didn't want to write this review because I thought we could handle it in the store, but no solution or attempt was offered. I've been a regular customer for years and was surprised by how this was handled. Food is good but not "$30 for lunch good". read more

Fabulous little find! Large portions, great flavors, and good prices! It didn't seem busy when we arrived (not always a good sign), but while we were there they had at least 15 to-go orders picked up, in addition to several other dine-in customers arrive. We always love finding locally owned ethnic restaurants and this one definitely made our list to visit again! read more

Unassuming place with amazing food! I've been coming here for a little over a year and it never disappoints. Best middle eastern food around. The owner and Mo are always super nice! Great customer service and food keeps me coming back. Highly recommend. The baba ghanoush, pita bread and veggie platter are awesome. Since I'm vegetarian it's nice to be able to find a place with lots of options. read more

Omg this place is legit, I finished everything on my plate, even the toasted pita bread which I didn't think I could finish because I got so much food. Chicken shawarma sandwich was amazing. I love the sauce. I love the hummus and the olive oil tastes so good like fresh olive flavor. Great service too. My tummy is very happy. read more

I really really wanted to love this place. So many great reviews! Today it was not to be. The service there was below average. Honestly, it was as though they'd rather we not be there. The food was average. We like it enough but not enough to go back. read more

Wow! What an unexpected surprise. Although unassuming from the exterior, this restaurant in a strip mall in Mission packs a punch! The hummus was fantastic, the falafel perfectly spiced, and service was fast and friendly. Excited to come back and try their other menu offerings, perhaps some of the bakery items! read more

Have ordered from here twice in the last couple of weeks. Been trying new to me places since the pandemic started. I have ordered the Gyro sandwich both times and it is fantastic! The lamb meat is so tender and flavorful. The gyro is loaded with lettuce, tomato, onion, tzatziki sauce, and feta cheese. It is huge and incredibly tasty! I will order this again and again! I got the hummus as a starter and that comes in a huge container and lots of pita bread to go with it. For under $20(not including the delivery charge) this meal is a great value and I would recommend Kinzi to anyone! read more

I love hummus and this hummus is the best I have ever had. Meats are tender and portions sizes are huge. Service is friendly and accommodating. So glad I found this place. read more

It did not have real greek olives and no dressing was on or with the salad - the humus lacked flavor and it overall was bland - the salad had very bland read more

I love this place and cannot believe we had a bad experience. We ordered a meal to be delivered a few hours later. However, I received a confirmation that it was being delivered ASAP. I called the restaurant to adjust the time, which they kindly agreed to do. 45 minutes before delivery I called to confirm the order and delivery, which the restaurant confirmed. the delivery time came and went. After 30 minutes past time I called the restaurant, and was told that the delivery driver never appeared. So I called the delivery service (Doordash) and was told that the driver did indeed show up on time but was told there was no order to pick up. they recommended I call the restaurant. I did, but - my call was not accepted. Our order plus tip and delivery was over $80. we are retired on a budget so tonight was going to be a treat, since we picked up our own carryout in the past. I am incredibly disappointed by this bad experience. I love this place and their food is great. But what happened today is a deal-breaker. read more

Lentil soup was excellent along with rest of meal. Humus was also really good. FYI, I'm usually a meat eater

We were able to get our order to go and were very impressed with timing and quality. We ordered the gyro plate and it was super filling. Not as much meat on the plate as i was expecting, but still a reasonable portion for cost. This definitely hit the spot, and will be back again. Super cute interior design and relaxing atmosphere. Better for smaller groups with 2 tables set up for up to 8 people. read more

This place is awesome! Came here for a quick lunch and got the Greek platter, tabouli salad, and spanakopia. The pita is delicious and the baba was excellent and reasonably priced. Baklava was the perfect dessert! I will definitely be coming back. read more

Beef shawarma was so chewy we couldn't even eat it gyro tasted like grounded beef that was left out for a while and over 4 dollars for one piece of baklava. This place is way too overpriced and the worst food I've ever tasted. read more

Kinzi - Chicken Kabobs - Mediterranean Near Me - Mission, Kansas

Eating here twice. Food is good service not so much. The tea is super weak. And when they refill my glass, no ice was added so I was just drinking warm weak tea. The first time was during lunch on a Thursday. The young man who is the waiter was fantastic and very attentive. We got our food relatively quickly. The second time I ate was on a Saturday afternoon at 2. That same young man was not there; the owner was our waiter. My gyro took a minimum 25 minutes. I had to ask a few times if they forgot about me. I was just about to leave when they finally brought me my food. No apologies for the wait he did not bring me my check, I had to go to the register and wait for them. The upside is the food is good except for the tea, and you can always get a seat without having to wait. The downside is the service from the owner. And it would be nice if they could give you more ice with your refill. read more
