    Gyro bowl im pretty plain I just like meat and rice and sauce. The gyro is so tender and full of flavor. The rice so beautifully cooked to perfection. The sauce is rich and thick.

    Semi finalist for a James Beard Award!! Need I say more.. Beef Kefta is so flavorful and moist!! Lentil soup was the best I've ever had. Sweetest owners!

    Kabob was ok, but for the portion and price I think there's much better choices in the area.

    AVA Bakery unfortunately fell short of expectations, and while I wanted to give a positive review, several issues with both service and food made it difficult. The venue itself is quite plain, lacking much in the way of decor or ambiance to really talk about. My main frustrations began with my order. I opted for the combination platter, expecting one skewer of beef koobideh kabob and one of chicken. However, when the lady at the counter handed me my meal, it was two chicken skewers. When I pointed out that I ordered the combo, she casually informed me, "Oh, we ran out of beef, so we gave you two chickens." I was quite perturbed by this lack of communication - I should have been informed of this change before my meal was prepared, giving me the option to choose something else. As a "compensation," she offered a bowl of lentil soup, which unfortunately tasted microwaved and was incredibly salty. Secondly, I was surprised and disappointed to receive my $20 entree on a plastic tray with plastic utensils, especially since I ordered for dine-in. All the photos I'd seen online showed meals served on proper plates, and for the price point, eating out of plastic felt cheap and unexpected. Lastly, and perhaps most perplexing, was the unsolicited addition of a garlic sauce, similar to Toom, poured directly onto the chicken. This wasn't mentioned on the menu, nor is it a traditional Iranian/Persian accompaniment, and frankly, I didn't want it on my meal. Overall, while I had hoped for a good experience, the combination of unannounced substitutions, cheap presentation for a dine-in order, and an unrequested sauce made my visit to AVA Bakery quite disappointing.

    I have been eating at Mid East Eats since they opened. It is one of my favorite spots in Phoenix. Everything is fresch, authentic and delicious. My go-to has always been the Chicken shawarma wrap on the Sangak bread, it's hard to beat. But today I tried the Chicken Shwarama salad in an effort to be healthy. I didn't expect it to be as good as the wrap, but boy was I wrong! The warm, perfectly seasoned chicken over cold crisp vegetables, all topped with their homemade vinaigrette dressing exceeded my expectations. The flavors and textures were amazing together! Honestly, everything they make is top-notch and I highly recommend!

    This place changed owners. But don't let that stop you. The food got even better (I thought it wasn't possible lol). Chicken kabab was so well marinated. Beef kabab was cooked to perfection. Try their hummus absolutely delicious. Of course sangak bread is a staple in this restaurant. The place was very clean. The restaurant staff was so friendly. Definitely highly recommend.

    Amazing Turkish coffee and fresh everything! Yum Yum

    Our go to for amazing lunch experiences as well as dinner with friends. Always leave with a happy belly and a smile on my face. Great people and great food, what else can you ask for?

    Top tier service. Super friendly and all smiles. Super helpful as well. Everything is delicious! Full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Walking into MidEast Eats you feel like you're walking inside home. The staff are warm and welcoming, and so quick to offer advice for newbies like me. They offer insight, and if you're lucky, samples on certain things! Inside there is plenty of tables and chairs. Aside from the amazing service, the food is just as good! I've tried several things and it has all been delicious! Food, baked bread, and a couple treats; ALL PERFECT! This is the perfect place to go if you are new to this cuisine and want to try something new. If you are still hesitant, I'd recommend trying their burger. It's a regular cheeseburger, but with flavors! Such a great spot and I'm glad I found it.

    We've been meaning to try Ava Bakery for a while. I love Mediterranean food! We ordered food to go - it was all delicious! They bake own bread and it's delicious. Ground kebob, chicken and veal stew were very flavorful. Portions are good although the veal stew didn't have a lot of meat. Tried their cakes too - chocolate, almond, carrot cake and baklava. Baklava was light and not overwhelmingly sweet. Otherwise carrot cake was our favorite. Service was very friendly and courteous.

A family owned sit-down full service place that is quaint, charming and welcoming. We ate in, but there were more carry out orders going than diners. We went after seeing the other good reviews and, as always, Yelpers usually don't miss. We were quickly welcomed and seated. The menu is straightforward, with a nice mix of Mediterranean foods. We had the Chicago gyros, chicken schwarma, beef kofta, lemon rice soup, tabbouleh salad and fries. All were great, but the fries were outstanding! I've eaten a lot of fried potatoes in my life, and really none better. They rounded out the meal-hot, fresh, crunchy and soft. Perfect! If I had to have a "complaint," the lemon garlic aioli on the schwarma was a bit too much, get that "on the side" so you can manage that. Otherwise a great meal. OPA!

We tried a couple of their Persian Kabobs and found them to be excellent! The Koobideh (ground beef) kabobs were tender and juicy, with great flavor. The Boneless Chicken kabob had saffron flavor and was cooked to perfection. The salad was nice and crispy with just enough oil/vinegar dressing.

    Some restaurants chase trends. Others just quietly keep making really good food year after year…read more This is one of those places. I'd been here several times years ago, and after coming back, I'm honestly wondering why I don't eat here more often. I ordered the chicken shawarma, a stuffed grape leaves platter, and hot tea. Everything was exactly what I hoped it would be. The chicken was well-seasoned, tender, and wrapped with the classic toppings, and the portion was fair for the price. Speaking of price, the value here is honestly hard to beat. The stuffed grape leaves platter came with hummus, tabbouleh, pita, and hot stuffed grape leaves. I had completely forgotten they serve them warm, and my brain needed a minute to recalibrate because I'm so used to cold dolmas everywhere else. Once I took a bite, though... yep. That's how they're supposed to taste. Soft, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I ended up adding some of the hummus and tabbouleh to my shawarma, which made an already great sandwich even better. The service was just as impressive as the food. My server was genuinely kind, gave me a few extra minutes when I couldn't decide, checked in without hovering, and even offered to package my hot tea to go when he noticed I was still working on it. (For the record, ordering an entire pot of tea for one person was an ambitious life choice on my part.) The dining room isn't huge, and there's also a small market attached, which adds to the charm. This place reminds me that consistency is underrated. Years later, I came back, and it was just as good as I remembered. Great food, great service, great value. I'll try not to wait so long before my next visit.

They should probably clean up the walkway to the bathroom too there was just a bunch of stuff. They also have a store attached which was cool. We didn't look but still cool. Chicken shawarma was bomb!
