The inside was much more elegant than we expected. We started surf with Hummus and Baba Ganoush Sampler. It was tasty with a Turkish twist. Then, we ordered to Spicy Chicken which was made of chicken thighs. You could tell the chicken had been soaked in spices over night. We also had the Muklabah. It was a tasty dish of rice topped with meat, eggplant, and onions. I would highly recommend this dish. We finished off with a Rice Pudding Dish and Baklava. Everything rated like it was made in house. I would definitely come again.

The rice it came with was fine but thought it could use some flavor since it was bland. Appetizer sampler was good but $25 was steep for just 4 dips that weren't too generous and only 2 pita breads. Overall food was fine but thought it was overpriced for the quantity. Service was good and they explained the menu well and were attentive.

My family and I used to love coming here, but I stopped liking it a while ago. I didn't realize we…read morewere coming here for Mother's Day, and this ended up being the worst experience we've had here so far. When we walked in, nobody acknowledged us. Things immediately got uncomfortable when I went to get salad and grabbed a few olives from a small cluster of maybe 3 or 4 olives. A woman started harassing me, saying she had chosen to dine there instead of getting the food to go because she loves olives. So do I, but I was there first and simply grabbed some from the spot I reached for. She immediately started yelling for a staff member and complaining that I had taken "all the olives." Instead of de-escalating the situation, the staff allowed the harassment and even joined in on it. Maybe she's a regular there, but I found the whole thing incredibly unprofessional and honestly ridiculous. When I tried to record what was happening, an older man who I assume works there started screaming at me about recording not being allowed. I did start recording once I sat down because of how ridiculous it was that she stayed there complaining more than 10 minutes later waiting on olives. He screamed at me while I was seated. One of the staff members cut directly in front of me in the buffet line and grabbed the serving spoon I was about to use. She then gave me an angry look as if I had cut in front of her instead of the other way around. She appeared out of nowhere and was unnecessarily rude. On top of that, tables were not being cleared, the food trays were barely being refilled, and there were no gloves available for hygiene. The restroom smelled like rotten eggs to the point that it made me feel sick and I ended up throwing up. I only got one plate of food and one dessert/fruit plate because I completely lost my appetite after everything. The desserts were overly sweet and dry, and the rose water tasted watered down. They also didn't have bread or beef available until we were already leaving. It wasn't that busy when we first arrived. Then came the checkout experience. The woman at the register was not listening at all. We clearly said there were 4 people, 2 of them seniors. While I was entering my phone number, she immediately announced the total was over $107. She refused to apply the senior discount or let me use the points I had accumulated. She shrugged her shoulders, acted dismissive, and honestly behaved like a spoiled teenager. My sister picked up a book from a stand that clearly said "free to take," and suddenly the cashier wanted to call the manager over because apparently we had to pay for it. I started walking away in disbelief, assuming my sister would just leave it there, but when my sister pointed out the sign, the cashier called her a thief in front of the growing line of customers. I walked back and told my sister to just leave, so she left the book on the counter and we walked out. I genuinely do not understand the point system if they refuse to honor it. I would not go out of my way to come here again, and I hope my family doesn't either. The customer service here has gone downhill significantly. They would rather let a random woman create drama over nothing and then take it out on paying customers.

We dropped by on the a Friday afternoon after a co-worker that is Persian recommended this place…read more When we arrived, itwas a small hole in the wall on a strip mall in Plano. We arrived at 2 pm and were the only customers there. The waitress seated us right away. It was a small place with several tables inside. We did not have a large appetite when we arrived so we decided to spit several appetizers and a main dish. Everyone gets a small pate with Pita Bread, Feta Cheese, and Mint. It was nice to cleanse the pate before our meal. We ordered the Hummus and Baba Ganoush. Both were tasty but not extraordinary. We ordered the Chicken Soltani. Both my colleague and I decided that this was some of the best Koobideh and Chicken Kebab we had had in a while. The rice was cooked to perfection and I am always a big fan of Grilled Tomatoes. We thought the food was so tasty that we both decided we would be back again.

Sometimes, especially with Mediterranean restaurants, it's hard for me to judge how good a place is…read morebased on the menu alone. For example, I can generally tell a good Chinese place from a mediocre one based on certain dishes that's being offered or what the place is calling it, same with Mexican. Is it failproof? Absolutely not. But it gives me an idea of what we're working with. However, "Mediterranean" I feel like is such a broad term and maybe because DFW doesn't have a ton of Persian options, the restaurants tend to offer more mainstream menu items, like kabobs and gyros. And let's face it, we've all had dried kabobs and subpar gyro. As my colleague and I sat down and stared at the small (and honestly a bit pricey) menu, I was almost regretful for choosing the restaurant. However, we stayed because this place had such high ratings on both Google and Yelp. And in reviews we trust! I stared at the chicken kabob option and ended up ordering it. Would I have liked a little something more than just chicken and rice and a blackened tomato for the price? Yes. But was it one of the best chicken and rice and blackened tomato I've had in a Mediterranean restaurant? Also yes. The rice had flavor, the chicken was moist and the tomato was chef's kiss. I stole a couple of french fries from my colleagues plate and she assured me that her gyro was also great. The simpleness of the dish plus the perfect execution was enough to convince me of returning soon.

The…read morefood is mostly typical Greek - American, but I had to laugh at another reviewer calling this place "authentic Greek" because they serve "baba ghanoush"... that is absolutely not Greek, and it's like calling falafel Greek food . Beyond the quality and service issues, be very careful with their online ordering system. It stays active and takes your money even when the restaurant is entirely closed. Also, keep a close eye on your cart when ordering online. My friend accidentally selected the vegetarian gyro for me (we had no idea they had this) when ordering. We didn't know until we got home to eat; it was literally just lettuce, tomato, tzatziki, and pita bread. It went straight into the trash along with the 18 dollars I paid for it. Between the declining quality and the broken ordering system, we won't be rushing back. You also can't really eat here like you used to be able to. If you decide to they just tell you to get your plastic forks and knives yourself from a counter. Yet for the price you should be able to have a restaurant experience.

The wraps were made fresh, the chicken was succulent and juicy, the filling was fresh and seasoned well. Excellent service, a must visit if you are in the neighborhood

Tried La Shish recently and had mixed feelings…read more The chicken shawarma was unfortunately dry and lacking flavor, with not much sauce. Lettuce didn't add anything and felt unnecessary. The gyro had a similar issue -- the red onions were raw and sliced too thick, there wasn't enough tzatziki sauce, and again, lettuce didn't really belong on the sandwich. The good: the pita bread was excellent -- very soft, fresh, and delicious. The fries were disappointing. They were unseasoned, soft, and mushy, and honestly didn't need to be included. I wish the wraps were offered à la carte without fries, especially since the price felt a bit high for what you get. The baklava was the standout. It was flaky, sticky, and perfectly sweet. I appreciated getting two small pieces in different flavors (Dubai chocolate and original), though I do wish the portions were a bit larger for the price

The mimosas, chorizo, arepas, brisket, papitas, everything was outstanding. The service was very warm and friendly, I felt like I was at home. I also appreciated that the server explained which sauces were mild or spicy, and also how the dishes were prepared. We've been to several great breakfast restaurants in Allen and Fairview, but we really want to recommend Curuba Cafe as a wonderful, classy but not too expensive brunch or lunch dining experience in Allen. They can definitely give the other restaurants some competition! Buena suerte y bendiciones!
