    Butter Chicken Shawarma Plate
    Lauren S.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Mila's Shawarma is AMAZING!!!! The service was friendly and fast and the decor inside was beautiful! We got the sampler appetizer platter served with fluffy naan, a spicy chicken wrap and a lamb and beef wrap. Everything was hot and delicious! We will definitely be back, if you're looking for a new place to try on MacArthur Avenue GO!

    Went to Mila's for lunch and had a great time. There are a few tables inside and more outside. Order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. The crispy chicken shawarma was excellent, the fries were superb. Really can't go wrong with Mila's if you are in the mood for some delicious middle eastern food.

    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.

If they aren't part of the decor, it was a treat nonetheless. We stepped inside from the rain with a parking spot very near the door. I snapped a pic on the way in to capture it's essence. We risked another walk-in with no reservations, and we snagged two prime end seats on the communal table. There were two open seats at the bar as well; might come in handy some other rainy Thursday night. The server, Murphy M., judging by the receipt, who helped my partner and I with our order, was a gracious host and incredibly well-practiced. It was a master class in serving, made effortless by him. He could not have been more accommodating, as we saw him appear inevitably at the exact right moments. Our server offered us bread and oil before the appetizer. The bread here is made fresh daily. It was so soft, I could not tell the difference from store bought. The food was exquisitely well prepared, the chefs and kitchen staff are immensely skilled. The appetizer was presented to us within a relatively short amount of time. We had time for a short discussion before the it arrived. The Tiropita was described as "four pieces of heaven." Accurate. The phyllo was thin and crisp, and the feta was creamy and delicious. I was careful not to bite too hard and ruin my pants. I had the Kotopoulo, which is a feta-brined oven-baked chicken with lemon and herbs served with lemon potatoes. The dish was cooked to perfection. The cooked potatoes were exactly as I like them, soft yet held their shape. It was an excellent meal, if a bit unwieldy (it's like half a rotisserie chicken, basically). My partner had the Hilopites, an egg noodle dish with giant beans, pine nuts, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta, in a creamy, savory sauce that I couldn't begin to describe with mere words. The meals were both stunning, made unclear by my disastrous photography. All that being said, I did not really enjoy my meal as I was expecting. Maybe it's me, maybe it's today, or maybe the flavors simply weren't what I am accustomed to with the dozens of Greek restaurants from my past. I'm uncertain, and that's okay sometimes. Either way, it was a fantastic experience, and I will dine here again.

I ate at the bar. The bartender helped me navigate all of the things I wanted to try and help helped me pair down best of the best since I was traveling and I couldn't take any leftovers. Bartender also helped me select a glass of wine to go with my dinner. Everything was phenomenal. I highly suggest the octopus. I also suggest a sandwich. Their gluten-free bun was amazing. The broccolini that I had was good. I just personally prefer mine to be more well done than it was and the lemon aïoli that goes with the fries..... good night. It was the best thing that I've ever had. Cannot wait to come back to Richmond to go specifically to this restaurant

When we mentioned that we were celebrating a belated Mother's Day and birthday, he was kind enough to bring us baklava! He also prepared us some excellent strong Lebanese coffee, which was a great end to our meal.

We were seated in the annex (for lack of a better word) next door to a seemingly semiprivate room.

Our server was on point and was not only pleasant but also efficient. The menu was thoughtful and distinctive. We ordered the bruschetta and it was incredible! The plum tomatoes were a perfect match to the basil and other herbs! I highly recommend! I ordered the Chicken Milanese with roasted potatoes, arugula & tomatoes and it was superb!

Started off on a high note with our apps - the complimentary bread was good but I'm still thinking about the kale salad and broccolini. Great way to start the meal with some refreshing veggies. The Jalapeno in the kale didn't contribute much but the dressing with mint was super fresh and lite. The broccolini had a spicy chili oil topping which gave it the zing it needed. The pasta unfortunately fell a little flat for me - we got the amatriciana with rigatoni. Didn't have the spicy kick you'd typically expect. The pancetta didn't really stand out. And the most disappointing part was seeing the kitchen use De Cecco pasta boxes. Not that I expect every restaurant to hand make pasta but for a $20 dish hoped they'd be using something nicer than what I have in my pantry. The roasted chicken was unexpectedly good! The chicken had a great sear though I'll admit it was a little dry in the inside. However i can look past all that because of how delicious the pan sauce was and the mashed potatoes were also really good. Last but not least- really happy bartender convinced us to get their version of a tres leches cake. It was a really nice way to end the meal and i would simply come back just to have the cake again. Next time we come - we'll need to try for redemption round and opt for more of their entree dishes!
