The service is always good, and the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. They sometimes have music, but it's never too loud, so you can still enjoy your meal and have a conversation.

The good & the bad…read more.. I'll start with the good. By the time I got my food, I was so hungry I would have eaten anything. I came in around 1:20, was greeted and gentleman took my order for dine out to go. He said to give him 10 minutes. I sat patiently reading the reviews until 2:00pm when he brought me my food to go. At this point I almost felt sick. I was hungry an hour ago. The reviews were mostly positive so I was eager to try it tho I wasn't well. I order a combination plate with fries, soup & hummus. I got a combination plate with rice, soup & hummus. The soup was aight. 6/10.... The gyro was ok. 7/10.... The chicken schwarma wasn't flavorful at all. 4/10.... I got a smidge of hummus and sauce to help get the meat down. The rice was ok. 4/10... Overall for 40 minute wait and $23. I won't be back. I could have drove to Dallas and ate, and gotten what I ordered and been satisfied. With so many great food options around I'm very surprised they have been for as far back as the reviews go. I wish them best of luck. I guess if you're in a pinch check it out. Hope your experience goes better than mine.

Inside looked spacious with enough seating. I can't wait to come back!

After my first visit, I completely understand why. When I walked in, I was immediately welcomed and kindly guided through parts of the menu I wasn't familiar with. Mediterranean food usually isn't my go-to, so I appreciated how patient and helpful they were without making me feel out of place. I ordered the beef shawarma plate with tzatziki and hot sauce on the side, then sat at the barstools near the food prep area while I waited. Watching the owner prepare the food was honestly part of the experience. At one point, he came over and insisted I try their tea. I initially declined, but he smiled and said he'd only pour me half a cup. That small act of kindness and hospitality genuinely sold me on this place. The restaurant was clean, quiet, welcoming, and smelled incredible. And yes, absolutely try the tea. It was a custom Earl Grey blend made specifically for them, and it was fantastic. When I got home, I was surprised by how generous the portions were for the price. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully balanced. The spices were used perfectly, the produce tasted fresh, and the food even held its temperature well by the time I got home. I've only been here once so far, but I already plan on becoming a regular, probably at least once a week. Y'all are doing an amazing job, and I'm really glad I found this place.

It wasn't great, but it was good. A disappointing part was that you pretty much have to valet your car. It's $20 if you're not eating there or in the hotel, and it's $10 if you are eating in the restaurant. That does not include your tip. It was restaurant week, so we thought we would give Emily a shot. What we found was that, because I wanted the sea bass, if we ordered off the menu instead of the restaurant week special, we would save about $20. That doesn't make sense.

Rice was cooked to perfection, and the kebabs were to die for. We had the family platter, which came with all seven types of kebab meat. They were all excellent. The interesting part was that we all had a favorite, and none of our favorites were the same. Dessert was excellent as well. We had pistachio baklava with Turkish coffee. The coffee was a new experience for all of us. It's really strong, like espresso, but not the same as espresso. Really liked the ambiance as well. The nice silverware and glassware on the tables was set off against rustic bare wood walls. Felt a cut above the average. Only complaint was they didn't brew their own tea. I ordered iced tea, and they brought a bottle of iced tea to the table. Oh well. Nobody's perfect. But we will be back. The food here rocks.

I looked at the star rating but did not notice that many reviews give 4 stars but the review is not worth 4 stars. In general, the food was really disappointing. We started with a dip platter. The hummus was some of the most bland hummus I have ever had and the pickled vegetables lacked any punch. My wife had what was supposed to be flat bread layered with beef and lamb. When it came out it looked and tasted like tortillas with layers of chili. I had the salmon kabob. The salmon was overcooked and had no seasoning at all. The ambiance of the place is really great and the service was good. I'm not often in Fort Worth, but when I am I would go to King Tut's instead.
