I've really enjoyed coming here with my mom for lunch! It's a wonderful spot for takeout or dining in. They have plenty of seating indoors and outside. It's fast casual so you order up front and take a number to your table. They have a gender neutral single stall in the back. If you're going to get a side you HAVE to get the fattoush. It's the perfect summer salad. So refreshing with the perfect acidic citrus kick. I adore the pita crisp crunch in it. The tabbouleh is fine. Of the two dishes I've tried, I like the mixed grill kebob plate the most. The lamb & beef shawarma was pretty good too, just know it's a good amount of sauce. Love this place for lunch! read more

It was my husband's birthday and decided to try this place. There was free street parking in front and when we came in, we placed our order at the register and got 2 beef and lamb shawarma platters and a house drink they had. The food was good, I'll give them that, but there are some complaints. For the price we paid, the plates could have been bigger maybe even real. It was uncomfortable to eat in. Next, I shouldn't be charged $1 to get tzatziki sauce with my meal and the portion size on those...... It was also a little warm in there and mosquitoes flying around the food and they didn't have any water unless you bought it bottled. The birthday lunch was a bust. I think there's room for improvement here. I am interested in trying their pizza, so I will come back and give it a second chance. read more

My partner and I came here on a Thursday evening around 7 or 8 o'clock, and parking was easy enough. The restaurant is a cozy little spot with some Mediterranean charm. The jovial attendant was smiling and easy-going, clearly a professional at all levels. He provided us with a sample of the milky-looking drink (jajik?) behind the counter when I inquired, and despite its unique flavor, I decided to order a cup with my meal. It reminded me of what tzatziki would be like if it and salt water had a baby. We ordered Muhamarra for an appetizer, which was delicious and not very spicy. I got the Mixed Lamb & Beef and Chicken Shawarma Plate, and my partner ordered one of the Zata'ar and Cheese Manakeesh. I thoroughly enjoyed my plate, with its combination of different vegetables, meats, spices, and textures. My partner ate the cheese side of the manakeesh but only nibbled the zata'ar side. Spoiler: I finished the leftovers the next day and enjoyed them all over again. The restaurant would be great for a new couple to get acquainted because it is quiet and cozy. The unique decor offers up talking points. The staff is friendly and accommodating to boot. I recommend Mila's to anyone looking to try some authentic Mediterranean food or someone in the mood for something different. read more

This was a nice little counter service Middle Eastern place with super friendly staff. We got the tabbouleh and the Mila's bowl with falafel. The bowl was a great choice and a great deal as it comes with the protein as well as a little bit of each of their side dishes so you can really have an expansive palate and try everything. Definitely would recommend it. We also got the tea, which is refillable as long as you eat in there and it was really good, not too sweet or bitter. I really enjoyed my meal here and the staff was so sweet. read more

Wanted to try something different for lunch. Saw this place on Instagram and decided to give it a try. Plenty of parking because parking in the city can be horrible. This isn't a huge place but there is plenty of seating. Staff were nice and friendly. Patient since it was our first time. Went with the spicy beef and lamb. Came up to $23 with fries and drinks. A little too much garlic for our liking but otherwise pretty good. Would eat here again. read more

Tried this on DoorDash, absolutely incredible. I live in lakeside and it got to us so fast! Easily the best shawarma I've had in richmond. I got the butter chicken shawarma with rice and my friend got the lamb and beef plate with hummus. Pita is delicious. Garlic sauce is incredible, get extra. I thought the value was excellent, esp considering how much food you get. Can't wait to go and eat at their cute restaurant on MacArthur. Thank you Mila's! read more

I may... Have ordered too much. I mean, for a certain value of 'too much', anyhow. I could have ordered One of the bowls and fed both of us. But I can't resist, and it means I have fed two people dinner, and have enough food left to feed us both breakfast and lunch tomorrow, from one sandwich, one special bowl, some dip and a few pitas. There, uh... There is no leftover pistachio cake. It was like eating a ricotta and pistachio cream cloud. But details. The hummus is smooth and tart. The muhummara is some of the best I've ever had; not quite sweet, not quite spicy, but rich and delicious. The pitas are made in house. Enough said, neh? Order extra pitas. The spicy lamb and beef sandwhich is actually a wrap, but they've toasted the outside, and the inside has the expected meats and fries and bits of pickle and so on one ahould expect of a shawarma. The bowl is an excellent adventire for anyone who is; indecisive, new to levantine food, starving, or interestwd in variety. There's meat, cumin rice, pickled onions, slaw, tabbouleh, hummus, salad... But of everything. And honestly, we should have just eaten in. It's a pleasant little space, clean with touches of decor that enhance instead of being oppressive. The staff we spoke with was lovely and helpful and even funny. The wait was minimal. 100% going back- I need to try the entire rest of the menu. Everything has been amazing, I know the rest will be too. read more

I really love this restaurant and it's a great addition to the neighborhood. The staff are super friendly and if you dine in, you get free (amazing) bread with olive oil for dipping. My husband and I both got the platter entrees. I didn't realize the chicken would be chicken thigh - it's good but if you're not a dark meat person, just keep that in mind. The lamb was good but a little dry. The pistachio desserts were absolutely outstanding. Oh and the garlic sauce was out of this world and elevated the meal. We'll definitely be back! read more

This restaurant is located in the Bellevue area in Richmond, Virginia on MacArthur Ave. we wanted to go to Dotts, but she was closed on a Sunday evening. This Middle Eastern restaurant was delightful with authentic well cooked food. The service was excellent. He even came outside to check on everyone that decided to eat on the cute little patio. You could tell that the locals frequent here and it was a place to come together in community. They uniquely have pizza! A lot of folks were ordering for takeout, but you can eat at the restaurant. I highly recommend this place. read more

My goodness. I'm still in my happy place after eating here. We got the lamb and beef shawarma as a bowl and as a sandwich. The meat was tender, wonderfully seasoned, and delicious. We got two fresh pitas before the meal which were still puffed up and full of steam, both crunchy and soft. Bread is one of the best foods humans have ever made, and this was an amazing example of it. Across our two dishes, along with the main food, came pickled beets, cabbage, and cucumber pickles, delicious garlicy hummus, creamy tsatsiki, a spicy and tangy sauce with a bite, another sauce with tahini that I couldn't identify, but which was delicious as well. There was even more, and everything was so fresh, so delicious and so clearly made with care. This place 100% deserves the rating it has. Do yourself a favor and check it out, especially in the summer as there's nice patio seating outside. read more

My husband found this place while he was driving one day and recommended we go here for lunch. When we got there, it was very busy, but the service was quick and we got our food quickly as well. It's a super cute interior with lots of tables, both inside and outside. I ordered a mixed Shawarma sandwich and my husband got a spicy Shawarma sandwich with fries. Both were delicious and very large portions. Will definitely be going back again. read more

Got a few shawarma sandwiches to-go last week and they tasted incredible. It's as close as you can get to authentic Lebanese shawarma although it has a Turkish twist with the spices and bread. Service seemed nice enough as far as ordering sandwiches goes. The restaurant itself has a few tables and looks like a nice place to have lunch at. Will definitely be coming back read more

Service was great, food was delicious! Have been twice in a week and a half. The chicken shawarma, baba ghannaj and hummus yum! If you're planning on eating in, their heater isn't working, so bring a warm coat! read more

My wife and I were passing through on our way to Williamsburg, Va. we stopped for dinner and were very impressed by the quality and value for our meal. The shawarma was excellent, both beef and lamb. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The pita was puffy and warm. The owner and staff were excellent also! Highly recommend if you are in the area and looking for excellent middle eastern food. You will not be disappointed! read more

We stopped here because Dot's wouldn't seat us with our small dog, they had outdoor seating and welcomed our dog, and the menu looked interesting. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the prices were reasonable. We were all set to order Middle Eastern items, but decided on the White Mediterranean Pizza instead. We've had a lot of pizza in a lot of places over the years, but this was incredible. Definitely in my top 3 favorites. Perfect crust. Each ingredient had distinct flavor. The cheeses were delicious. A great pie, great experience. We'll be back. read more

Chicken wrap was great, seasoned well. We had the sampler appetizer, very good humus.very friendly staff.outside seating available 4-5tables inside, so it wasn't noisy. Also had a small piece of baklava,perfect meal ending. I would recommend. read more

The chicken shwarma on hummus was so dry it was inedible. Maybe an off day? But even the hummus could not help with the dried out chicken. Service was fine. read more

The food is delicious! I thought it was a bit pricey. $8.99 for a cup of soup? But it was delicious.

We just tried this place and the food was great! My wife and I had the chicken Shawarma bowl and it's a great way to try a variety of the sides. Everything was super fresh and made in house! We can't wait to go back and try more. The staff were super friendly and the restaurant was very clean. read more

Went here with a small group and it was amazing. Small restaurant with very pleasant staff, only a few tables but they do takeout as well. We ordered the mixed grill kebab plate and the mix shawarma sandwich for mains and were very impressed. We also got the dip combo for appetizer and loved the muhammara. The manakeesh and pita were also amazing. Tabbouleh was delicious! We were served a basket with 2 pita and an oil and zataar mix for dipping as well. They also have a small selection of homemade desserts that varies each day. Food came out quickly and the staff were kind and thoughtful. Will definitely be returning here for both dine in and takeout! read more

Fresh, hot, authentic Iraqi food. Delicious fresh hot pita, falafels served with amazing hummus, kibbeh(I think Iraqi version is called kubbah?) with yogurt cucumber sauce like raita. Falafel were cooked to perfection with good seasoning, crispy on the outside and soft, moist steaming on the inside. The kibbeh were served in a round shape. They were crispy/ crunchy on the outside and stuffed with steaming hot seasoned ground lamb meat. We could have made a meal out of appetizers alone. So good. The shawarmas cut into small portions so you can easily share. Inside has limited seating, but for fair weather you probably want to sit outside and plenty of seating there. Parking is available on the street. Staff is friendly, welcoming and service is great. You will order and pay at the counter, but the food will be brought to your table. A great stop if you're in the area and in the mood for some good food.prices are quite reasonable. Food came pretty quickly, read more

I asked for the sauce with Shawarma, the receptionist asked me to pay for the sauce in the middle of me eating (though I could have paid later) which seemed not professional. The sauce was also half full . I wanted to give feedback to the manager but he was busy . read more

Pizza was decent, great hummus! Chicken shawarmas were disappointing, not the same as the past 3 times I've been, very dry, not fresh pita, seems like corners are being cut over all. Prices are too high for the new poor quality. read more

Mila's shawarma was amazing. the place mila's is very inviting and the staff were super nice. The food was amazing. They have a lot of variety of foods to try. I love their pizza and their variety of hummus's. Definitely going back soon read more

Great food, friendly owner. You won't go hungry- try the soups as well as the shawarma. Love this place!

The food is great. I've had the chicken schawarma sandwich twice and it's been delicious both times. I wish they would take a different approach to packaging for takeout. Getting a plastic clamshell just for a sandwich is overkill. Mila's is certainly not alone in this, but the plastic and styrofoam used for so many takeout orders is horrible for our planet. read more

So excited to have such a delicious restaurant in the Northside! I had the chicken shawarma and my son had the lamb and beef shawarma. They were fantastic. The meat was perfectly seasoned, the serving was large, and the garlic sauce was so good. That staff was very friendly. I can't wait to go back. read more
