    Chicken shawarma
    Ata A.

    If you're looking for a hole in a shop (and a wall) this is the place. Shawarma was good, but not of the Levantine style unfortunately - so if you're seeking your classic pickled turnips or peppers, it's not included. You will have some spice, and a beautiful side of thoum (garlic sauce). Fries were delicious, hummus good ; the meat bursting with flavor. We definitely enjoyed their bread - Arabian peninsula style with crispy exterior fluffy interior! Go up to the window and order if you're trying to eat in.

    My forever dining partner and I made our way to the west side today for lunch as he was craving some yummy shawarma. This little restaurant is inside the Mecca Grocery Store which has loads of fantastic goodies (take some time to look around -- we found pomegranate molasses!) when I ordered the hummus with meat, I fully expected it to be a small plate and I was pleasantly mistaken! This plate of hummus was absolutely massive, and easily enough for 2-3 people. The meat was perfectly spiced and cooked. The hummus was very tahini forward, and while delicious a bit too much for my tastes. My forever dining partner said the shawarma was a bit dry, but really nicely flavored! The absolute show stopper was the Yemini style bread! It was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Absolute perfection!! Can't wait to go back!

    Mendi Lamb

    The falafel wrap is amazing and the ingredients taste very fresh, I highly recommend ordering it. The Mendi Lamb is quite good, the rice is savory and comes with a generous portion of lamb. The meat is quite fatty and I felt that it could use more seasoning, but overall it was a good dish. The restaurant is located in a Middle Eastern grocery store, and it's a typical hole in the wall eatery with a fast food/diner vibe. I would come back again for takeout.

    Y'all. Do not overlook this place in your food hunt. It's inside a grocery store and definitely an experience, but worth every bit of it. The waitress/cook was super helpful and made sure to let us know that the food we ordered (hummus with meat and something I don't remember the name of) was finger food but she would bring us some spoons since we were first timers we didn't use them at all and enjoyed our pita "utensils" greatly. Our friends got some lamb and rice and loved that. If we were local we would go all the time. Amazing and not to be missed.

    To find the most authentic food one sometimes must travel to the unlikelist of places... * Last night we had a little family adventure trying to find something for dinner. We drove to a few different spots and eventually landed ourselves in a middle eastern market that also serves food. Just getting ourselves seated inside of this tiny little dining corner was quite the endeavour and then to order food was a whole other story. After all the trials and tribulations of ordering, our food came out with a quickness and we were eager to eat. To say that this meal was mediocre would be an utter lie as it was simply fantastic! The hummus was absolutely creamy and the Baba Ganoush was absolutely dreamy with it's smokey notes and a creamy like undertone. Don't even get me started on the flatbread... ALL bread should be as delicious and fluffy with the little crispy bits from direct heat exposure!!! And this was happening all the while with Anthony Bourdain narrating in my head just like an episode of "No Reservations". * I think the moral of this story is to get out there and have fun with life. You never know just where the wind will carry you.

    Best hummas in Indianapolis

    I love coming here not only can I pick up some household favorites like the almond biscuits and delicious baklava, I can enjoy a tasty halal meal. I've been here probably a total of 5 times and every time but once has been incredible. I normally get the hummus which is finished with olive oil, sumac and parsley. Comes with fresh warm naan ...Amazing! I love the veggie saltah, it comes in a steaming hot clay pot and sizzles in its perfection. When I say it brings memories of childhood back, I mean it. My grandpa used to cook a dish similar using similar spices. My favorite for sure. We've have the fried fish and it's delicious as well. All I can say is try something new, you won't be disappointed. Also-Keep in mind this food takes time to prepare and to cook, so I recommend allowing yourself time. Good things come to those who wait.

    Closed rooms for families and friends to eat!

I got my order to go but the gentleman who took my order was kind enough to offer me a cup for some water. The spot was happening. Music, good vibes, the decor was fun. I couldn't decide which meal I was trying so I'm definitely going to make another trip sometime soon. I got the tenders with mac but added a side of greens. Boy oh boy the greens were the star and wow my tastebuds were incredibly satisfied. I've had greens but these were like some ultimate flavors and holy greens i definitely could just order some of these every now and again by themselves. Mac was great. Definitely complimented the greens. The tenders though omg. The flavor was insane. I gotta try them with the waffles next time for sure. Overall the wait wasn't long and my food was still hot. I ended up sharing with my son and he was even raving about it. Great service, fun and lit atmosphere, last but not least food was fire. Side note: people complain about price but I'll be honest, when the food is good and staff are amazing, the price to me doesn't matter. You get what you pay for and let's be real, this isn't chic fil a, this is hot boys and the chicken is definitely that.

It honestly hurt to see all that chicken go directly into the garbage, but they claim it was inedible. Since it's not a saucy type of flavoring, but a dry rub, they said that the heat was painful, and not flavorful. Back to the sandwich I enjoyed... I felt that there was a sweetness to the flavor that I liked, which I could see not everyone enjoying. There is also a hot dusting over the french fries which exacerbates any discomfort people are having from the heat. There really wasn't anything to cool it down. The macaroni and cheese was piping hot, although not spicy.

We started with the Angry Mac & Cheese, which we had never tried before, and wow -- it was phenomenal. The homemade cheese sauce was rich, creamy, and perfectly smooth without separating. The andouille sausage and shrimp were cooked beautifully, and the cream sauce had incredible flavor with just the right subtle hint of spice. Absolutely perfect comfort food with an elevated twist. We sat outside on the patio enjoying the beautiful weather during Indy 500 race week, and the atmosphere could not have been better. Every table around us was full of people laughing, enjoying lunch, and soaking in the energy of the city. It was one of those perfect Indianapolis afternoons. For our mains, we both ordered the Cobb salad -- one with grilled chicken and one with fried chicken -- and both were outstanding. I still can't believe how large the "small" salads are! Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the homemade ranch dressing was absolutely delicious. The service, as always, was top-notch. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. From start to finish, it was such a fantastic lunch and overall experience. We loved every minute of it and cannot wait to come back!

Our server quickly greeted us and took our beverage orders...they carry only Pepsi soft drink products. She quickly returned beverages on tray, then took our orders. I opted for the Patty Melt along with a side of onion rings. The entrees arrived in the blink of an eye. My Patty melt and onion rings arrived fresh and hot. They even tasted great too! The hamburger patty was thick and juicy and cooked the way I'd prepare it myself. Portions were more than ample. After finishing my "feast" it was time for dessert, a Root Beer float, served in a tall larger glass with an ample portion of ice cream. I would suggest ordering it for two...it's that big. All enjoyed their burgers and we're looking forward to returning next year. * I purposely didn't review the other meals served, as they will be doing their own Yelp reviews.

    This was my first time trying Turkish coffee, and I absolutely loved it! For other first-time…read morevisitors, I recommend letting the coffee sit for about 30 seconds before taking a sip so the fine grounds can settle to the bottom. Also, don't stir it after it's served, as that will bring the grounds back up into the coffee. Be sure to leave the last sip or two in the cup, since that's where the grounds collect. The coffee itself was excellent, but I would recommend that servers explain these details to first-time customers or at least ask whether they've had Turkish coffee before. A little guidance would make the experience even better for newcomers. We also ordered the hummus as an appetizer, and it was fantastic. The naan was served warm, and the hummus tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. It was the perfect way to start the meal. We also ordered The Bosphorus Special, a mixed grill platter featuring doner, kofte, chicken kebab, beef kebab, Adana kebab, and chicken Adana kebab, served with vegetables and white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and packed with flavor. I'm so glad my significant other and I decided to share this entrée because the portion was very generous, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. While the service could have been a bit more attentive, it did not negatively impact our overall experience. After our food was served, our waitress did not check back to see how everything was or whether we needed anything additional. We also ended up with quite a few leftovers and requested to-go containers. Initially, only one small container was brought to the table, which required two additional follow-ups before we received enough containers for the remaining food. One suggestion I would offer is that, for tables ordering larger meals, it may be helpful for servers to proactively offer to box up leftovers as dishes are cleared. For just two people, our table became overcrowded rather quickly, especially with the generous portions. Since our waitress did not return after the food was served, it made managing the table and leftovers a little challenging. That said, we had a wonderful first experience overall. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous, and we look forward to coming back again in the future.

This was my second time trying Indonesian cuisine but my first time venturing out from the more mainstream Satay and certainly won't be my last. The pops of flavor in the Geprek were so awesome and reminded me how fun it is to try new dishes and foods from other cultures. Parking is limited out front but I think there are two additional lots that are close by. I went on a Sunday afternoon and had no issues getting a spot. Service was okay... they were not too busy and we were a table of just 4 people but they forgot my friend's Beef Rendang. Upon asking, they didn't really apologize for forgetting his meal just told us to wait and then they brought it out slightly later. Nobody really came to check on us throughout the meal either. It was not a big deal for me but if you're dining in expecting full service, this may be disappointing for you. Overall the food was delicious and the albiet mediocre service was enough for me to come back and enjoy some more dishes in the near future. Also! There is a fun little market in the restaurant to check out some indonesian snacks and drinks.
