I fell in love with Turkish Coffee in Afghanistan and this was so on point. I might as well have been sitting on a carpet with the local women of the region. The lady who ran the from of the house was so kind, I greatly enjoyed and appreciated her hospitality! The food was absolutely delicious. I was able to stay on my macros all while enjoying outstanding food. There was no gimmick or shortcut with the food. The sights smells and tastes made me feel so welcomed. I can't wait to go back and enjoy myself, even brought some kabobs home, for dinner.

My husband had the chicken was okay he said. The restaurant is clean and kinda had a renovation where we do not see their kitchen anymore. Hopefully they stay stronger because at lunch only 2 tables including us, though i think they get take out or delivery. Must try if you like this kind of mid eastern food.

I wish I had taken a picture of it because the other pics on Yelp don't do it justice. It was a lot of food too. The hummus was creamy and everyone loved it.

The inside was nice and clean and the service was great. Will absolutely go back soon!

I've been wanting to try this place ever since I moved to VB four years ago, and I'm happy to say…read moreit did not disappoint! Located in Hilltop Plaza, this Mediterranean restaurant immediately makes you feel like you've stepped into a different place. The decor, music, and even the food products they have at the counter really add to the atmosphere. We were immediately greeted, helped, and seated. The service was impeccable. Our waitress checked in on us the perfect amount. She was attentive without being overbearing. I ordered the baba ghanoush and the beef kebab platter, and both were really good! I'll admit I've had better, which is why I'm giving this place 4 stars, but overall, I had a great experience. The food, atmosphere, and service definitely make this a place I'll be coming back to!

This place is not it. I got a chicken bowl and a hummus bowl. They only had a handful of toppings -…read morethe chickpeas weren't seasoned- taste like they came straight from the can. The meat lacked flavor. The hummus was THE WORST hummus I have ever had - the olive oil drizzled on top had an awful taste and the hummus itself had no flavor. The best thing about this place is that the pita is hot. Save your money and go somewhere else. The staff seemed uninterested and were slow. The drink machine was off and needed to be turned on (they had already been open an hour and this had yet to be done)

I got a bowl of chicken and lamb with everything in it. I saw a a few customers before me ordered the falafel and thought it must be something I got to try, so I ordered some as well. At checkout I couldn't decide which sauce to choose and ended up with four different sauce to try. The food was fresh and the flavors were just right. Also, found out the falafel would not be something I personally will crazy for. The four sauces I tried and describe as... 1) Garlic - similar to ranch 2) Harissa Aioli - similar to ranch yet a tad spicy (My favorite) 3) Tahini - similar to light ranch with a very light touch of sesame butter 4) Amber - tangy and a bit bitter with turmeric Either I was already sleepy when I had the food or the food had me feel sleepy afterwards. Overall, it was worth a try.

Order was prompt, fresh, and delicious. Would definitely eat here again.

Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic, and you can watch it being prepared in the open kitchen. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal, and there were no complaints about the food at all. What made the experience a little strange was the service. During our visit, the owner was noticeably short with the one and only server and spoke to her in a way that felt belittling, especially in front of customers. It was uncomfortable to watch. At the same time, the waitress asked us to leave her tip in cash or through Cash App before we had even received our food. That felt a little unusual and off-putting, as though we were being steered toward a specific way of tipping before any service had really happened. She had also mentioned that a birthday treat was coming out, but after we waited for a bit, she came back and told us the owner was upset with her and wasn't sending it out after all. That was odd and left us a little confused. Overall, it was a weird experience from a service standpoint, but the food was genuinely excellent. If you're going for authentic gyros and Mediterranean food, it's worth a visit. Just be prepared that the atmosphere may be a little unpredictable.

The food was ready in about 8 minutes and the gentlemen brought it out to my car, which was very nice. I liked the chicken gyro. It was different textures because of the toppings with a good taste and crunch. The chicken tawook was also good. I liked the beef as well, it was tender and the sauce on it was good. The hummas and tzatziki sauce tasted good also. It made the gyros better. I like that the gyros are rolled kinda long and thin so its easy to eat without everything spilling out. You could easily eat it and drive. The rice was cooked just right. It had no flavor at all, but it was somehow still good... I'd return to try other things. If your looking to try some different foods, this is a good place to try... I got some drinks and a few were good, but one was to sweet. I had fun picking out random things to try though. 4 stars!!
