    Solid gyro, was perfect snack to get us through the massive market without overdoing it on groceries, and man the fries and tzatziki were actually so amazing. Service was warm and friendly. If we lived in the area, we'd lunch here often.

    This is a brand new food stand inside Saraga. They serve Middle Eastern food for a reasonable price. And portions are huge.

    Incredible food from incredible people. I always love what I order, especially treating myself to…read morethe bakery after. It's amazing how they use this space as a grocery, restaurant, and bakery all at once. Since I first met them 2 years ago or so, they continue to improve the shop time and time again.

    Finally stopped in after reading about this place! It's a grocery store and restaurant. Restaurant…read moreto the left with tables. The guy working was very helpful and took the time to explain the dishes to us in the Buffett. We opted for the Buffett today (only runs fri-sun) and while I would love to tell you everything we had, I'd be lying if I said I remembered all the names of the dishes. But trust me when I say the food was fresh, hot and lots of variety. Started off with some hummus, salad, pasta salad, and some other cold sides that I forget the name. The pasta salad was fine, but def okay to skip and stick to the other sides to which you won't be disappointed! The pita was also fresh and so good! Some of the stand outs for the main dishes I LOVED the mushroom beef dish and the chicken I got was so tender it was FALL OFF THE BONE! Also their spaghetti (reminded me more of a Mac and cheese) was so creamy and packed with flavor along with corn and mushrooms. Sounds wild, but trust me - so good! It was overwhelming trying to decide what to get next and making sure I didn't over do it too much so I could try everything! Again I know this isn't the best since I don't know all the names and I have no pictures (I ate too quickly and then realized after the fact and didn't think empty/dirty dishes would be appealing). Just trust me when I say the buffet is worth it. I then had the baklava for dessert and that was also good! We can't wait to come back and order from the menu. Looking to try gyro for sure next time! Also the grocery side is great and has a lot of items and candies to choose from. Definitely a place you'll visit and not leave empty handed or hungry!

    Saw it on a foodie TikTok, had to try it. Always wanted to try shawarma…read more Its incredible. The flavor is outstanding. I got a beef and fries and drink and it was like $16. You get a ton of food. I had to save half for later. Friendly service, it's made to order, so be patient. You can eat in or take out. If you're ready to try something different and delicious, get up here now.

    I met a friend for lunch and decided to give this restaurant a try…read more Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted, and the cashier was very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the menu and offering recommendations. The restaurant was also clean and comfortable, which made for a pleasant first impression. I ordered both the chicken shawarma wrap and the beef shawarma wrap. Unfortunately, once my order was ready, the aroma immediately told me this probably wasn't going to be a good fit for my taste. After trying both wraps, I realized the flavors just weren't for me. The meat had a strong seasoning profile that reminded me of curry and ginger. While I'm sure many people enjoy those flavors, they simply weren't my preference. I was only able to eat a few of the fries. They were a bit bland but ended up being my favorite part of the meal. Although the food wasn't to my liking, the customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my visit, which is why I'm giving this experience 3 stars. While I don't think I'll return for the food, I appreciate the great service and hospitality.

Naf…read moreNaf is a build your own Middle Eastern pita/bowl/plate with a selection of choice protein, base, toppings and sauces. This was my first visit. I like that the options were not overly complicated. Fresh pita is made in store and you can watch if they are making it in their little bakery. They were not making pita during my visit. I had the chicken shawarma bowl with couscous and cucumber salad, sumac onions and red cabbage. The vegetable salads are fresh and perfectly flavored. I LOVED the cucumber salad and sumac onions. My daughter ordered Naf Fries to share. The fries are a cross between a fry and potato chip. They are crispy with a bit of potato. The fries were very good. My daughter had a falafel pita, which she raved about. I bought a single falafel to taste and they were crispy outside and silky inside. The staff are friendly and helpful. Food was prepared quickly. The dining room is fast food upscale, clean and comfortable. I'd return, for sure.

I skipped the garlic sauce after learning it contains mayo. Traditionally, it doesn't, so I'm glad I asked before ordering. The couscous was perfectly prepared, and the chopped salad was incredibly light and fresh. I could have eaten an entire bowl of it. The cilantro really makes the flavors pop. Bonus points for having Seagram's Ginger Ale in the fountain! IYKYK I was excited to see it, although the syrup had run out when I first tried it, leaving me with soda water. Fortunately, the issue was fixed quickly. My tip: ask for your chicken to be cooked fresh. The pre-prepared chicken I sampled was a bit hard and chewy, so I'm very glad I asked to taste it first. All the steak is prepared fresh, so no special request needed. It was surprisingly quiet inside, making it a great spot to work remotely, catch up with a friend, or simply enjoy a peaceful meal without distractions. I'll definitely be back very soon!

    Went for lunch on a beautiful day in Indy. What a surprise this was. I love Mediterranean food…read moreand this was hands down the best I've ever had. The ambiance is spectacular. The beautiful tile floors and the view of the canal is perfection. Our server was so nice. Excellent customer service. This was my first time there but I was with a local so when the waitress came up she said "Do you wanna start out with hummus & pita?" I figured it would be the ordinary hummus and pita....oh no ma'am. This was pita with marinated meat and the warmest pita on the planet. I enjoyed so much of it I couldn't eat the falafel when it came. I definitely wanna go back cause there's so many things on that menu that I would love to try. Hands-down the best Mediterranean food I've ever had.

    We had a great meal at Canal Bistro. We got the lamb chops, gyro, spanakopita, and a mimosa flight…read more The lamb chops weren't my favorite since the meat was a little dry, but everything else was really good. I especially enjoyed the gyro and spanakopita, and the mimosa flight was a fun addition to the meal. Service was great. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, and everything came out pretty quickly. We sat outside right along the Monon, which made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself is cute and comfortable, but the outdoor seating is definitely where I'd want to sit again on a nice day. Good food, good service, and a great spot to sit outside and enjoy the area. After the meal we walked the Monon.

The baba ganoush at Noor Cafe is great, and comes with warm pita slices, plus pickled vegetables on top. I was kinda more hungry than I thought, so I also ordered a falafel pita sandwich and a glass of Pinot Noir. The falafel pita comes with a lot of different vegetables and sauces, and is fresh and cool from the veg, but warm from the falafel and pita. It's also huge! This is something you could definitely split if you wanted to, or eat by yourself if you're especially hungry. I was a little taken aback by how small the dining room is at Noor Cafe. There are four tables, and one of them was filled with toys, which was adorable. Some kid came from out back to play with them, and I was reminded by the adage that the best Asian restaurants are those where some kid is playing or doing their homework in the dining room. I think that might be true! Noor Cafe is not Asian, because they offer Mediterranean food, but they're also not-not Asian because they also offer some Indian options (kaathi rolls, paneer). I mentioned that I got a glass of Pinot Noir here. Yes, they offer beer and wine! They served the red wine chilled, which is not ideal, but I'm willing to overlook that because the baba ganoush was so good.
