    Great every time. My go-tos are the loaded Greek fries ($10), Majida's Chicken ($18), and the hummus. They have my favorite hummus around--it's just slightly creamier than everyone else's. Their tzatziki is also my favorite around--packed with flavor. My biggest takeaway here is that they know how to flavor their food and balance their dishes. I held a dinner event here for 27 people and they executed it flawlessly. They don't have a cocktail menu but they do have a full bar and a fair selection of beer and wine. They are knowledgeable on gluten free needs. The dining room has a nice ambiance and can be rearranged to accommodate different party sizes. This is a family run restaurant and they provide great service.

    Got the gyro bowl last night. The flavors were great. The gyro meat was juicy and the pitas were light and fluffy. Falafels were crunchy and tasty.

    Tasty and fabulous meal!!

    While visiting Syracuse, got local reco to visit Wescott street for good restaurant options - we picked Mediterranean cuisine and it did not disappoint. Service was friendly and had a very relaxed, casual environment. Ordered spanakopita as starter, was not as temperature hot as I thought it might be served however was very tasty and well presented. Importantly, the Gyro dinner and Kiftka wrap both hit the mark ... plus fresh cut fries (plain and sweet potatoes) were hot out of the fryer, seasoned excellently and outstanding sides for any meal! Finally I think their tzatziki sauce was one of the best I've ever had - smooth, creamy and thick with nice garlic flavor, you can add this to anything on the menu for great flavor! So if you like Greek cuisine, think you'll enjoy this one!

    Munjed's is located in a busy block but very accessible. Welcoming atmosphere, good ambience, excellent service and great food!

    Service is good. Food is delicious. I feel like this is a great place to go for if you're looking for Mediterranean food in Syracuse. Our waitress was attentive. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Chicken salad with garlic sauce- fresh light and yummy Munjed combo- offers a great variety of food to try. Baba ganoush- was just ok. Hummus was definitely way better. Baklava- very fresh and flavorful. Definitely like coming back here when I can.

    Great place to eat before a show at Westcott Theater, which is right next door. Souvlaki wrap is excellent.

    The food, drinks, and service are great. I've been several times and got the chicken kabob dinner. The falafel is also really good.

    Located at 6378 Thompson Road in East Syracuse, the Middle Eastern eatery Ali Baba offers a variety…read moreof halal food prepared fresh, from mixed-grill skewers and gyros to chicken shawarma on top of rice or in a sandwich. The restaurant also serves chicken wings and tenders, seasonal soups, tabbouleh, falafel, hummus, and jalapeño poppers, and a couple of its walls are lined with pre-packaged candy. There's also a selection of cakes and smoothies, with flavors of the latter including strawberry, mango pineapple and banana. Kaib Saleh, who goes by the nickname Adam and runs the restaurant with his brother Shihab and their Jordanian business partner Alaa, says he opened Ali Baba because he likes to share all the different Arabic and Middle Eastern food there is to offer, plus the sweet stuff too. The establishment had converted what was briefly intended to be a smoke shop into the sweets section to give off more of a family-friendly and kid-appropriate atmosphere. Starting out, the business was meant to be a convenience store with a carry-out deli, but when the owners noticed that people were sitting down to eat at the chairs and tables used for the grand opening, the trio decided to take out the shelves and pay the extra licensing fee to properly turn their place into a sit-down restaurant with takeout and delivery options. I work in East Syracuse and have driven by Ali Baba every day since it's been opened and thought "I gotta get lunch there one day." I love Mediterranean food, so I decided it was time. I was able to easily order online on their website, and went with the simple chicken over rice combo to try them out. There's a small parking lot to park in, and this isn't an extremely busy section of the city, so there's always open parking spots. Went in and my food was not ready yet. The girl at the counter didn't tell me my food wasn't ready, just took my name and walked over to ask and then stood waiting for it, but she seemed pretty shy so no big deal. It's very nice inside, not at all what I was expecting, with several tables to sit and eat, and a couple tables outside to eat at as well. My food was ready about 5-10 minutes after I arrived. I decided to just eat thee at one of the outside tables, as it was a bright sunny day outside. Everything was tasty, although I could've used a little more of the white garlic sauce personally, and it was enough food to feed me twice. Prices were comparable to similar other restaurants in the area. What I love about the place is that it's open 24/7. I honestly am almost never out late at night, or even near the area other than for work, but I like knowing that if I ever were, there is a place I could go to to get fresh cooked, delicious food at any time, in an age where there are very few late night food establishments open anymore. I definitely plan to go back and try other stuff.

    I like the ambiance and the positivity of this place. Fresh fruits abound for the smoothies. People…read moreare very friendly and joke with each other creating a warm atmosphere. The food had good flavor and was fresh according to my son who was working a double as a local manager unable to leave his store. The downfall was the missing tzatziki I had asked for extra of after verifying they had it. Will give em another try and they owe me some tzatziki sauce!!

The place was pretty small and unassuming from the outward appearance. Upon coming in, there are limited seats, but everything was neat and clean. I could smell some enticing aromas from the kitchen. Not sure if they are short staffed, but it took a while for someone to come to the counter to take our order. I really was looking forward to having the lamb gyro, so that was what I ordered, as well as ordering a baklava for dessert. The food took a while to come out, but I'm fine waiting for something great to eat. They did have a number of takeout orders that were served while we waited, maybe 3 of them. Once the food came out, the lamb was pretty nice, and there was a reasonable portion of meat in the gyro, as well as some tomato, lettuce, and onion on a nice pita bread. But the tzatziki was very disappointing, it was very thin, and didn't have much flavor. That sort of killed the whole gyro. The baklava was very tasty, and had nice pistachio crumbles on it, but the honey was a bit too much, giving it a very soggy bottom. Flavor was good though, and I don't mind a little messy dessert. All in all, I was a little disappointed with the meal. I tend to be a little generous in my reviews, so I gave it three stars, as I felt I couldn't rate it as a 2, but I couldn't quite give a four star rating. I'd give it another try, but maybe not go for a gyro.
