The Mediterranean-type food is extremely tasty & beats the greasy type of fast foods, yet the price is similar. We mostly order the kabobs, Greek, Tabouli or Caprese salads. The Calamari is excellent. The soups are fantastic especially the French Onion and Lentil Soups. The desserts are SO good, as well. We usually do takeaway but it's a location that would be nice for dining in during spring, summer, fall. It's a little cold atmospherically in the winter...maybe some more plants or pictures but the staff makes this location always welcoming & warm!

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. My only disappointment was the portion of protein for the price. For a $23.99 meal, I expected a lot more chicken. The veggies definitely outnumbered the small pieces of chicken, which made it feel a little unbalanced and not quite worth the cost. If they increased the protein portion, it would easily be a 5-star experience.

The space feels very authentic with all the decor, and the belly dancers are always a fun touch. The patio is also nice if you're able to sit outside.

This time I chose Lumi and was not disappointed! From the very flavorful appetizer ( Muhammara) that I will crave forever complimentary puff bread, to the savory Turkish take on a beef stroganoff..which left our mouths filled with warm, toasty spice flavors.. which lingered well after the meal was done, to a more simple but equally as perfect in its own right.. Schnitzel! Crispy. Crust.. the best garlic mashed potatoes & both dishes came with a generous side of roasted Brussel sprouts! There was so much food & we brought leftovers home!

The waiter told me they could not make the sauce without garlic which was puzzling. When the dish came out, it had a side of Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. I told them it was supposed to have spinach and that I didn't order Brussels sprouts and could not eat them. When they brought the dish back, it had spinach on top of the salmon and the waiter said it came with Brussels sprouts. The menu had no mention of Brussels sprouts...... I happened to have a photo on my phone of the meal 4 months ago as it was so memorable. When I showed it to the waiter, he simply said, it comes with Brussels sprouts. This was not the meal I had enjoyed previously, the salmon was dry, the potatoes were dry, I didn't get sauce, and Brussels sprouts were forced on me. I was extremely disappointed with the lack of customer service and the poor quality of my meal.

He came out with generous amount of free fried chicken for my friend and for me with freshly made baba ganoush and warm fresh pita bread! Not just that, he also gave us soda for free!

We came here because the reviews (at the time of this post) on Google were 4.6 and 3.8 on Yelp…read more First thing to note is that the parking is in the back on the building. The place has a rustic Middle Eastern vibe but it's not kept well. The table we first got had food stains on the table cloth and a dirty fur coat on the wall. We decided to move to a different table. I saw food on other tables as well. The owner spent most of the time in the back talking to someone than waiting on us. We didn't get silverware until the main course and never got water. I went to the fridge in the front after our meal was done because we were tired of waiting and thirsty. The falafel is the best thing that we had. It was fresh but a bit oil. It had a nice crunch to it and the flavor profile was good. The sauce with it was average but good. The mixed grilled platter was underwhelming. The best meat was the lamb. There wasn't much flavor in the chicken and the other meat was too dry. I think the veggies were a bit too chard for my liking. The shawarma was not that great. It seamed as if it was chicken chunks and not the properly cooked. The flavor was not great either. There's nothing given as a side or sauce. There's bottles of ketchup on the tables but they looked not too appealing to use. Instead of napkins, you get Kleenex. While the food can be good. I would recommend ordering takeout from here. As a small business I wish nothing but the best and hope the owner cleans up the place more and improves the customer service.

My wife said she was interested in Mexican food, and Ollin was about 1/2 mile from our hotel. I searched for their menu online and they have a lot of variety. What really caught my attention was the ratings of the restaurant on Google. 4.9 stars with over 800 reviews. 4.8 here on Yelp. I expect over time, most businesses trend towards average, so I was hooked. We arrived and they seemed very busy, with some people choosing to use the patio with heaters. We thought, Friday night we might have to wait but they got us seated promptly. We were asked if we wanted an appetizer, with the customary chips and salsa, and a cold queso dip. I asked for guacamole and our server asked if we wanted anything omitted. The guacamole is made fresh, at a counter near the main entrance, so you can leave out some of the ingredients. We omitted the jalapeño. We ordered beverages, two margaritas and a pina colada. Two of the meals were enchiladas and I had a shredded beef Chimichanga. The beverages seemed to take awhile to deliver, although one margarita, the Clase Ancestral, was delivered with a glass bell that held a mist inside when it was delivered. The food was very good, and we didn't have room for dessert, although they have a variety of cheesecakes, and tres leches. Our server was very enthusiastic and helpful. I'm happy to add my 5 stars to keep their success going.

This is a true hidden gem that there is no official Yelp page for this restaurant…read more Muna Halal is a nice alternative to Brava (currently still closed) and offers East African / Somalian cuisine for those looking for food exploration and excitement. There is a decent lunch + dinner menu ranging from rice & lamb, rice & fish, to an African sandwich. Prices are around $15 per item likely from inflation but the sheer amount of food makes up for it. Ordered - Rice & Chicken (4/5). Literally 2 pounds of rice topped with aromatic chicken drumsticks and a banana to help clean the palate. The sauce that came with it was intensely hot but complemented with the rice. A good choice for those looking for some home cooked food. I would suggest splitting this with someone due to the portion size - Sambusa (3/5). This was a-ok. It was big and fluffy but it wasn't as fresh as others that we have visited. Overall this is a nice addition to the growing, diverse food scene at Rochester.

Steak sauce was not needed to add since the steak had so much flavor. It was perfectly done just the way I like it medium rare. Thanks to the Chef, it was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Rodney was such a pleasure, he served us and the evening was pretty slow. I didn't mind because my friend and I were well taken care of. We both had a glass of Alamos Argentinian Malbec which we enjoyed every single sip. We explained to Rodney how we ran around all day long going to various appointments at Mayo. I was surprised for a Friday night that it was slow. We ate outdoors which was such a treat. We sat at a 4 top table facing Peace Square and people watched. Rodney was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and suggested many items. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer along with short rib tacos and my beautiful steak meal.
