It has an extensive menu selection of Mediterranean food and friendly staff. I would have to say that the dips are the star of the show. Getting a combination of a couple or doing one of their platters that gets you a variety is key. The pita bread comes out hot and you can easily share with friends and debate on the best one. The grilled platter we got was also good. The meat wasn't as juicy as I would have liked it, but it hit the Mediterranean flavors well. The rice was more sweet and dry than I typically like my rice, but went well with the meal. The day after it was not good at all though, so that got some point deductions for me. Overall, if you're craving Mediterranean at a chill spot, it's not bad, but it's not the best. I would say 3.5 overall, but 4 for the dips.

The salad will be always fresh and everything is portioned just right. Quality food with a great taste! I had made the mistake to order from the other place thinking the quality would be the same as here! So be careful to order from anywhere else -because this is the ONLY original Mediterranean place in Madison to order from! I highly recommend it for the atmosphere, the staff, the food, and the devotion that I've repeatedly seen and tasted! Definitely a great experience all around either dining in or getting delivery! Highly recommended from a longtime customer. My favorite is the lamb Shawarma plate and the yummy tea. the pistachio baklava! Yummy !!

After reviewing their menu and their website, it's easy to get excited about this place because…read morethey have live music happening. I believe Friday or Saturday night. They have an elaborate breakfast. They have an amazing dinner for two. It's not cheap. It's a bit pricey, but for the ambience and for how everything is put together just so and to give you the real taste of turkey vibe I think it's worth it totally recommend go for a special event like the breakfast or live music or really anytime you were just for an appetizer or just for something simple, you won't be disappointed life's too short carpe diem

We had reservations at 11:45 AM but since the servers were in the kitchen was not seated until closer to 10 minutes later. After I was seated, I was promptly brought water. I then ordered an appetizer of hummus. The amount of pita served with the hummus was very little. It was a nice sized portion of hummus there was definitely leftover hummus as you were only given a few pieces of small pita. Our server was very kind and very observant when I asked about dishes that were dairy free. She was very helpful on that. The ambience was very quiet, even though there was a a few tables nearby. Really nice ceilings. The food was good. It would be nice if there were more options on the menu as well as dairy free desserts.

They have it. Habash brand spices? Tons. Halal butcher shop? Yep. Cadbury buttons, flakes, dairy milk, and milka? Yes. Tea? Of course. But following the Billy Mays mantra, "but wait! There's more!" There's a grill where you can get a massive shawarma or a decadent Dubai chocolate that runs a risk of instant diabetes. It's worth the risk. AND then the there's the baklava vault, which also has babousa and other desserts. The baklava is a must and there is a variety of it. Lastly the folks working there are super friendly and obliging. Shopping here is basically a small international trip and the mix is something special. Ironically a place like this is what makes America great. Do yourself a favor and visit this domestic exotic in Cedar Rapids.
