I got the mix gyro and chicken shawarma plate which included rice, salad, garlic dripping sauce, hummus and pita bread. The gyro and rice were seasoned well and had good texture. The chicken shawarma was a little sweet for my preference but it was nice and juicy. The hummus and pita bread were surprisingly my favorites! The hummus was creamy and smooth. The pita bread was toasted to be a little toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. My husband also the chicken kebab plate and really enjoyed it! The garlic dripping sauce was a little sweet for me but my husband finished his! The staff there is also very friendly and kind. The space had a few tables, maybe not ideal for large groups. Great for take out!

Pitas were over heated to the point of having hard edges and feeling "toasted" (brittle). No onions and tomatoes really except for what seemed to be a tiny salad with french-like dressing on it. Hummus was good however but thats certainly not enuf reason to go there. Rice was average turmeric rice. Normally I'm not one to pick on the interior of places. Heck many bbq places I go are a pit! But come on, clean or paint the bathroom door, its filthy. And maybe something more attractive than a beat up 20yr old 2x4 to lock the back door might be a choice...

Not sure I'll be coming back after this experience…read more I've been going to Wally's for years, back when it was still a small local spot. Through a Palestinian friend who knows the owner, I even met her back when the restaurant was much smaller. I've also been ordering the chicken musahab since it first became a menu item a couple of years ago, and have always liked it. I've recommended this place to friends and family, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I ordered the chicken musahab and after just a couple of bites I couldn't eat it. The chicken was extremely spicy in a way that was completely different from what I've had here before. I usually have no issue with spice, but this was genuinely inedible for me. My lips and stomach were on fire. I brought it back up and explained the issue. I was told that other customers have complained about the same thing before, but management does not issue refunds. There was no replacement, store credit, or any alternative offered. What stood out most is that this seems to be a known issue, yet there's still no effort to make it right when it happens. I ended up paying around $40 total and wasn't even offered the lentil soup that's typically included with orders over $15. I wasn't looking for anything extra -- just some basic acknowledgment that I couldn't eat the meal at all. I rarely send food back, but this was one of those times I had no choice. I left without eating my meal and pretty disappointed. Just sharing in case others have had the same issue or are thinking about ordering the chicken musahab.

The bread is like whole wheat, thin and it allows for a shawarma packed with meat which is my kinda shawarma. The lentil soup was also one of the best I've had in minnesota.

This is a Greek/Mediterranean takeout place with a decent amount of seating and some appropriate grocery items. Really nice people working here. I got the Mediterranean Platter which was full of very perfectly-cooked meats and rice, salad with very fresh veggies, a Greek dressing ant tzatziki. The latter two were EXCELLENT, really creamy tzatziki and really flavorful Greek vinaigrette. A lot of food. Not cheap, but I'd say normally-priced. I've also gotten their house-made Dubai Chocolate. It is the best Dubai Chocolate I've ever had. BUT! Get the stuff from the case that they make, not the packaged bars on the counter. The latter is mediocre, but the stuff they make, the stuff in the case, you guys. YOU GUYS. That is why this is a five-star review.

I honestly barely noticed because the smell of yummy foods hit me as soon as I got inside. I think they do most of their business as take-out or pick up, but we actually took advantage of the small dining area attached. The service is nothing fancy- order at the counter and they'll bring it to you. But ya'll- the food! It was really some of the best Mediterranean food I have had since moving to the cities. That hummus -as the kids say- SLAPS! It had a little spicy topping on it and they served it with warm pita breads. I ordered a gyros platter and it came with enough rice to feed a crowd! Even the salad was delicious. I told my husband right away- this is 5 stars.

It was a nice walk over the Mississippi River. The place is cozy and very clean. We were welcomed with so much warmth it was like having home cooking. We started out with the bread with feta. It was so good with the right amount of seasonings. I wanted to try the dowjic soup so I ordered a cup. I loved it! Yes it's lemony and has a lot of garlic which you could think is a lot of salt but these bright tangy flavors were right up my alley. Not to mention that with all that lemon and garlic it's great for your immune system. After a long flight this hit the spot. For entrees I had the bakla with chicken. So healthy and fresh. The rice had dill. Very tasty. My dad and his girlfriend had the Sheik Babani. They loved it. We enjoyed our meal so much that we went back on a Saturday in order to try the chicken Tawa which is only available Fridays and Saturdays. We had first gone there on Thursday. So glad we got a chance to try that too because the chicken was so tender and flavorful. Wish we were able to go again but they were closed Monday on our last day.
