    Honestly I never realized this place was here. I stopped by to pick up late lunch. It's a small grocery store, deli with 3-4 tables. They have a bakery counter also. I wanted to try but couldn't decide. I already had trouble deciding on lunch. The menu has a large variety of items ++. The ladies were super nice and friendly. As I waited for my order they gave me a lemonade made with rose water. Refreshing. The mixed kebab plate was huge and pretty tasty.

    Delicious Mediterranean restaurant, Café, and small market in downtown Phoenix. We stopped in on the way back from the airport to have some lunch. The service is excellent here. Everybody is so friendly and the food is prepared and served with much love. We gorged on hot and tasty, well-prepared and fresh comfort food before our trek back home. We ordered: - Grape Leaves (Dolmades) to share - 5 pieces - Meat or Meatless served with tsatsiki & pita. Served warm. We chose with meat. Reminds us of the authentic, homemade dolmades our neighbor used to make us with the grape leaves she would grow in her yard, which remain our favorite and our standard of measure. - Spinach Pies to share - 2 pieces - Spinach, onions, olive oil, lemon juice and spices, wrapped in a tender dough, hot. So Good! - Meat Pie - 2 pieces- Lean beef and lamb mixed with parsley, onions, tomatoes and pine nuts baked in a tender dough, hot. Mmmmm, love these. - Gyros - Seasoned beef & lamb thinly sliced. Topped with Yogurt-Sour Cream Dressing. Perfect for me. I added my tahini salad for more sauce and ate all of it. - Tahini Salad - Tomatoes, cucumbers, onions & mint in lemony tahini sauce. First time trying this and I ate all of it! Creamy and watery tahini with fresh diced cucumber & tomato with herbs. Fresh and flavorful. - Shawerma - Marinated lamb & beef cooked on horizontal rotisserie, served with Garlic Dressing or Tahini Sauce, served with their hummus or tahini sauce. My son ate everything and said it was really good! He was stuffed. - Mixed Kabab Plate - Skewer of marinated chicken and skewer of lamb grilled, with tomatoes, onions & rice (served with greek salad or tabouli). Approved by Hubs! He ate everything and loved it all. Meat cooked well.

    Popped in the afternoon. Surprised to see a mini store located in the restaurant as well. Great items to choose from. This looked like a local spot for the usuals that come in. I ordered the chicken and beef shish kebab-both had great flavors! My favorite was the chicken though. The combo plate came with rice and salad. Very filling. Maybe a shareable plate if you don't wanna be too full. Make sure to get a piece of baklava! Wow! The staff were kind and inviting. Great family owned spot. Check them out! Parking maybe challenging.

    Drove by this place and decided to grab a plate to go! Honestly so good and enjoyed the service they had. They did have a little seating area and have came back again since I last went. Also enjoyed that they have a market.

    This Mediterranean Bakery/Restaurant/Market is my favorite. The food is so fresh. The flavors most definitely pop your flavor muscles The service is so great you honestly feel like family

    Walked in and found this place on accident tbh and I am glad we did! When you walk in you see the little market with different foreign products, good selection to try new stuff. Go to the back and you'll see a menu and pastries on display. We were greeted by a nice women. We got the food in like 10 minutes and it came out fresh! The fresh baklava is amazing!!! Some of the best I've had for a while! The chicken was juicy , the steak was tender and cooked right and the mix was also full of flavor. It came with salad and rice and both had great flavor! The ambiance was pretty relaxed and they had a couple people at tables but found a table easily. It is a market mix with some food so it's not an actual restaurant but the food is fresh and good and I would definitely go back. Everyone enjoyed the food and food runner was super friendly as well.

    The Middle Eastern Bakery is always amazing. We've been coming here for years and everything is delicious. Service is attentive, authentic, and kind.

    Why no masks?

    I'm not sure when you came, but the owners and all their employees wear masks.

    Is this place halal? Its not listed on Zabiha.com but I asked the owner and she said all their meat is zabiha halal.

    I asked the owner on Sunday he said everything is halal

    Do they make their own halva?

    Yes. They make everything from scratch as far as I know.

    Are the falafels freshly made to order?

    I'd like to say that yes, they are. I've eaten falafel there nearly every single visit and they have tasted fresh and made to order.

    Is their ful madammas made with fresh beans or canned beans?

    Interesting question...are you a chef?

    Can you buy Shoko B'Sakit (bagged chocolate milk) here?

    Absolutely

There's no place to sit inside, but there are two nice parking spaces out in the front since it's a busy parking lot by a gym. They have several cases of sweet options, cakes that you can customize on the spot, and pastries that are topped fresh to order. They also have so many cake pop flavors. I didn't even know how to decide! The owner, Melissa, was so sweet to me! I asked her questions about the business, and what they do for catering. I love supporting local businesses, especially bakeries because I'm a baker myself. I talked to her about customizing an order for my place of employment in the next couple of months and she was totally on board to customize it how I wanted. Aside for my too good bag, I ended up buying an ube cake pop and a Boston cream tart, and both are out of this world! On Fridays and Saturdays, they do buy one get one free cake, pops, so it's a perfect opportunity to try all of the flavors! Definitely try this place, you will not be disappointed!

I was really happy with the service. They also offer baked goods and cake pops for purchase in store. The bakery itself is very nice and clean, with an open kitchen and workspace where you can watch the decorators at work. The cookies were some of the best I've ever had. I've ordered custom cookies before that were a bit hard, but these were so soft and absolutely beautiful. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. I also thought my cake turned out super cute. If I had to nitpick, I wish the 30 had been in a slightly bolder font like my photo reference, but overall they did a great job. The cake was also quite large and heavy. I believe I ordered the 10 inch, and it was very tall. The picture honestly doesn't do it justice. I chose the cookies and cream flavor, and it was pretty good.

In our day's Sunnyslope business, our niece took us to Kris Frybread. Arriving we saw Dawn's. She said Dawn's gets high ratings too. After our excellent Kris meal I made my way to Dawn's. I am infamous in the family for my dessert rxtravagance. But I share with all at our table. Take your choice! Our niece got cannoli, I got lidded shortbread custard cups, vanilla and almond. Sweet D got a cherry and an apple turnover delivered into the box. It is five days later. My sugar intake has dropped a lot. In our home baking we cut sugar ingredients by half. Older Hopi bakers put in enough sugar for a hint of sweet in their cookies. Modern bakers glaze them. I'll take those traditional ones. When I say the shortbread cup with custard was too sweet for me, that's my 21st century palate speaking. The almond cup was a buy-again item for me, still sweet, very almond. The cherry turnover was flaky, the filling tart, oozing fillng and cherries. The gold medal, blue ribbon "I'd buy this again, for sure is the apple turnover. We will return for some more flaky, apple-y goodness. The webpage makes mymouth water. I see many items are normal and mini sized. Great idea Dawn.

    After a wonderful meal next door at The Sicilian Butcher, our waiter suggested some dessert, but…read morelittle did I know they had a whole bakery connected to the restaurant. I can't speak on the customer service as we never left our table and our waited just walked over and got what we needed. We were pretty stuffed from our massive meal, but we decided on sharing a cup of gelato just to satisfy our sweet tooth. I peeked inside as our table was right at a little walkway from the restaurant to the bakery. Gelato is just one of many things they serve here. They also have all your typical Italian desserts. Cakes like tiramisu, pastries like Italian flag cookies, cookies like Italian wedding cookies, cannolis of different varieties, and of course gelato. What was suggested to us if we wanted gelato was the hazelnut flavor. I was expecting a little cup for the 6 of us just to get a taste, but what he brought over was a massive serving. I don't know how many scoops it was or even how much we even paid, but we all got plenty with some even left behind. Now this gelato was life changing. Probably the best I've had in the states. I know it's gotta be way better in Italy, but I'll take what I can when I can. Think of a Ferrero Rocher but in gelato form. It was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a little crunch with bits of chocolate and hazelnuts. My sweet tooth was extremely satisfied after having dessert here. I have literally been thinking about that gelato since I left Phoenix. Luckily this company has locations in Texas so I will definitely be seeking out this gelato soon.

    As a born and raised New Yorker, I take food very seriously... and Italian pastries even more so…read more Just before Christmas, I was traveling from New Yawk (visiting my parents) back to Phoenix to attend a family dinner at my partner's parent's home in Scottsdale. While I was still in NYC with my family on XMas eve eve, it hit me... I need to bring something besides wine everytime I go to their home. Nor a Southern dish. I wanted something unapologetically New Yaek. And what's more New Yawk than a box of classic Italian cookies? After asking a few Yelp friends where to find the best Italian cookies in Phoenix, The Sicilian Baker kept coming up. I called them last minute on Christmas Eve eve, having never been there before, totally sight unseen. First of all, their voicemail is hilarious. Truly. If you do nothing else, call just to hear it. It will instantly make you want to order something. Once I reached a real person, I explained my situation, that I wouldn't be able to come in beforehand, I needed a beautiful cookie tray for about 14-16 people, and I had a few must have preferences. Without hesitation, they said, "We got you." I was assured it would be ready when I landed on Xmas eve. Sure enough, after my partner picked me up from the airport, we headed straight to The Sicilian Baker. Parking right out front, a huge plus. As soon as you pull in, you're greeted with Frank Sinatra playing, not just inside, but even in the parking lot. It sets the tone immediately. We walked in, gave my name, and within minutes a lovely young person brought out my tray. Ten minutes later, we were on our way. Easy. Efficient. Warm service that made me actually grab a small box of cookies to drop my besties home on the way outta there. I didn't even realize at first that there's a sit down restaurant next door where you can relax and enjoy something. Great to know for next time ;) . Now, let's talk about the cookies. Yes, they are on the pricier side, but every single dollar was worth it. The tray was robust. Classic Italian pastries across the board like lobster tails, tri-colored almond cakes, cannolis, and all the favorites you hope for when you're trying to impress a room full of potential inlaws. And impress it did. The moment I walked in with that tray, it was a hit. People were already claiming which pastries they wanted, plotting what they'd take home, and hovering before dinner was even finished. There was more than enough for 16 people, grand is the only word for it, which is my style 1,000%. To this day, they're still talking about those cookies which makes me phenomenally proud (and humbled). I say this in all my reviews, "I hate almost everything. I'm discerning. I'm critical. And when something truly represents what I stand for - quality, authenticity, and heart, I will shout it from the rooftops". The Sicilian Baker delivered New York level excellence in Phoenix! Do not walk, runswiftly to this place if you need a gift, a show stopping dessert, or simply want to treat yourself. I cannot wait to go back. Highly, highly recommended.
