    Mix Kebab Platter

    Food is super fresh and service is amazing! Highly recommend trying this place out :)

    Everything is always so good!! Got the protein bowl today, super yummy ! Chicken is so fresh and as always, they have the best hummus !!

    Falafel Sandwich

    The owners of Petra cafe have changed and the new name replacement is Noor Cafe. Noor is an Arabic word which means light. We went in looking for Petra and ended up ordering a platter and a falafel sandwich. I must say I was beyond impressed with the juicy, tender, delectable meats and the garlic sauce combo. The bed of rice was colorful and so flavor packed. The bite of meat with a spoonful of rice and a topping of garlic sauce was heavenly and so good. We thought we would have leftovers with the portion but we ended up eating everything anyway. Service is great and the place though small is in a very good area which has a variety of stores and a lot of new shops.

    Mixed Grill, No Rice, Extra Vegetables with Garlic Sauce and Taziki Sauce.. so so good!!

    What a hidden gem this restaurant is. Don't let the casual vibe distract you from the fact that this family is serving absolutely delicious kebabs, house made sauces, and generous portions at an incredible value. The chicken kebab is one of the best pieces of chicken I've eaten in a restaurant in a very long time. The lamb is kebab is tender and tasty. The beef kefta is all meat and seasoned perfectly. That massive plate of food was $28 ($20 without the extra Kebab) and includes a beverage. That's an absolute steal! Great food, great people, go check this place out.

    Had the kofta kebab, what was unique was that I never have been asked what spice level I wanted. I love spicy, so I asked for hot. It was the perfect level of spice and the tzatziki help keep me from sweating too much. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back when I'm in town again.

    Our experience at Noor Cafe was top notch. From answering all of our questions/ making suggestions for accommodations based on our preferences, to the incredible presentation & quality of the food, to the immense flavors & (very generous) quantity on our plates, 2+ weeks later & we can not stop thinking, or raving, about our meal. Despite being an-order-at-the-counter setup, the owners/ chefs served us like a sit-down & were genuinely interested in our experience & feedback throughout the evening & each course we tried. My husband doesn't have a lot of experience with Mediterranean dishes, & came in thinking he did not like lamb... but we both fell in love with everything we tasted (well, savored). AND my husband was raving about the lamb to the point that he plans to go back for lamb kebobs, only; he's a convert! I've labeled each photo with what we ordered, but our favorites were definitely the mixed kebobs: the meat is so well-seasoned & cooked, with delicious veggies & rice, & Greek salad to accompany it. (Also, I haven't stopped thinking about their Garlic & Tzatziki sauces... I want to try them on everything I eat... ever! ) Any complaints in other reviews about the time it takes (though we didn't wait more than 15 minutes for each component) clearly do not appreciate superior, made-to-order food. Visit Noor Cafe, ASAP, & experience it for yourself. (And tell them Cory & Chapin recommended you go.)

    Greek Islands is one of those restaurants that is a cornerstone of local business in Indianapolis…read more Our family has been celebrating important events there for over 30 years. The service, the atmosphere, and the food are exceptional every time.

    We're always looking for good Greek food in Indianapolis and noticed this spot while eating…read moresomewhere nearby, so we decided to make a trip back downtown for it at a later time. Located in a cute blue house, this is conveniently located near Lucas Oil Stadium and there was a huge concert going on the night we were there, but we were still allowed to park in their parking area. Inside has nice lighting and is pretty plain but has a homey feel. The menu contains many items we're familiar with having visited Greece twice. So I'm going to be a little critical here with my review of the food. I ordered the Greek Spaghetti, which I have had in Greece. Unfortunately this was not at all what I was expecting or anything like Greek spaghetti. What I was served was basically Prego spaghetti sauce with pieces of gyro in it. Traditional Greek spaghetti (or Makaronia me Kima) is a wonderful sauce that's seasoned with all kinds of memorable spices. It's definitely not pieces of gyro meat thrown in a sauce. So while this was fine, it was not what I truly wanted or thought I was getting so I was pretty disappointed. My husband got the chicken souvlaki and that was better but still not quite like what I remember. The meat was almost smoked and lacked some of the Greek spices that gives it a distinct taste. And the tzatziki...well, let's just say it tastes like whipped feta and was lacking in flavor too. I did enjoy the pita bread. Our service was underwhelming as well. It took a while for anyone to notice we were there and needed to be seated and the server basically did the bare minimum, never even asking if we wanted our water refilled. Overall, it was fine. If I had never been to Greece, I may have a different opinion but this isn't someplace I really want to go back to.

    An absolutely perfect dining experience for our group of 8 on a Sunday evening…read more We had a reservation for 5:30 but our plans changed slightly and we arrived 30 minutes early. We planned to wait until 5:30 but we were told it was fine and we were seated immediately. The service throughout our meal was outstanding.

The hummus was garlicky and wonderful. We all ordered different entrées. My choice was the vegetarian pastichio. Our entrées and all the sides were excellent. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert so we will try again next time. The ambiance was wonderful, the food and service could not have been better. We all agreed that we will be returning soon.

Food: I got the meatballs and they were good! I enjoyed the feta on the inside. I felt they were a little dry and could have been more tender. The pita that accompanied was perfection! The french fries were also very yummy. The feta, oil, and seasoning were delicious. While the food was good, I'm not sure $30 for these two is reasonable.

    This was my first time trying Turkish coffee, and I absolutely loved it! For other first-time…read morevisitors, I recommend letting the coffee sit for about 30 seconds before taking a sip so the fine grounds can settle to the bottom. Also, don't stir it after it's served, as that will bring the grounds back up into the coffee. Be sure to leave the last sip or two in the cup, since that's where the grounds collect. The coffee itself was excellent, but I would recommend that servers explain these details to first-time customers or at least ask whether they've had Turkish coffee before. A little guidance would make the experience even better for newcomers. We also ordered the hummus as an appetizer, and it was fantastic. The naan was served warm, and the hummus tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. It was the perfect way to start the meal. We also ordered The Bosphorus Special, a mixed grill platter featuring doner, kofte, chicken kebab, beef kebab, Adana kebab, and chicken Adana kebab, served with vegetables and white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and packed with flavor. I'm so glad my significant other and I decided to share this entrée because the portion was very generous, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. While the service could have been a bit more attentive, it did not negatively impact our overall experience. After our food was served, our waitress did not check back to see how everything was or whether we needed anything additional. We also ended up with quite a few leftovers and requested to-go containers. Initially, only one small container was brought to the table, which required two additional follow-ups before we received enough containers for the remaining food. One suggestion I would offer is that, for tables ordering larger meals, it may be helpful for servers to proactively offer to box up leftovers as dishes are cleared. For just two people, our table became overcrowded rather quickly, especially with the generous portions. Since our waitress did not return after the food was served, it made managing the table and leftovers a little challenging. That said, we had a wonderful first experience overall. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous, and we look forward to coming back again in the future.

For a Greek vendor, Mama Fofos was Ok and decent at The Garage Food Hall but I would not go back there unless I craved Greek food. The Garage Food Hall has other selections that are of higher quality that Mama Fofos. I'm not saying this to be mean, but the food was bland and lacked flavor and consistency. I feel I would be better off trying another vendor at The Garage Food Hall for lunch or dinner. That is my two cents worth. Hope it helps! Mama Fofos does have a nice ambiance to it, so I will give them props for the ambiance.
