    A delicious experience. The food was amazing! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Though the restaurant was busy, the service was extremely fast. We sat outside and it was so lovely. Will definitely be back.

    The Pizza Salami Boat was amazing. It came out piping hot, fresh from the oven, and tasted incredible. I also loved the copper tea set and food display. It really made the whole place feel authentic. Friendly service

    I've been wanting to try this spot for a long time and we finally came here one Saturday for brunch. Seems like we visited at a good time since it wasn't too busy. We chose to sit on the patio as it was beautiful weather outside. They had lovely Arabic instrumental music playing and it really set the vibes for our meal. I love to see an Arab restaurant doing well; this one is Iraqi and serves Turkish-style breakfast dishes. I had perused the menu earlier and their toast flight looked so appealing to me, so we ordered that along with a cheese boat and a small plate of falafel. The toast flight included six (6) pieces with toppings of: labne & zaatar, sunny side egg & avocado, scrambled eggs & tomatoes, boiled eggs & pesto, cream cheese & blueberry jam, and Nutella & strawberries. The sweet ones along with the sunny side up egg were my favorites! Such a nice variety of sweet and savory. I asked for salt & pepper because I am a salt fiend and that helped satisfy my cravings. The falafel did not hit the spot unfortunately, the inside was not cooked throughly. The cheese boat was okay, I would've preferred to try the zaatar or sausage one for more flavor. Our servers were friendly and attended to our needs by filling up our carafe of water and bringing us salt & pepper. There is a credit card fee so cash seems to be a better payment method. I do want to come back and try their Mam's tray with more people. I wish this spot much success!

    My mom and I had the pleasure of trying out this restaurant for the first time. I've seen the pictures online, but when we got there, it completely exceeded my expectations. The food selection was authentic. The presentation was amazing and the service was awesome. It was a nice location to enjoy brunch. The presentation of the food made it feel very special. I highly recommend this place and will be back soon.

    I was disappointed with my recent visit to this establishment. The staff's unfriendly demeanor was notable. We sat for quite a while and no one came to take our order, we had to call someone over, also no one checked on us after getting our food, requiring me to request service from a woman to ask a question. The food was mediocre. We had to request our bill. Meanwhile, the staff in the back seemed to be joking and laughing about us. The establishment might consider posting a sign at the door regarding dress code and customer expectations. Staff seemed to judge my party. Definitely would not recommend!! I don't like to write reviews like this but the service was horrible as they made us feel unwelcome!!

    I couldn't get over how amazing our breakfast was last week. We had gone for my friends birthday and she had been wanting to try Turkish coffee for quite some time. We decided to try the Mams tray and it came with so many great things to try. Everything was fresh and delicious. The only thing I'm not a big fan of which was great for my friend was the feta cheese def an acquired taste. I will eat all the olives and she had all the feta. I especially loved the cheese boats and can't wait to try the others next time along with the shashuka. The Turkish coffee had great flavor but the coffee grounds at the end of the cup are too thick for me. So def don't see myself repurchasing that next time. The tea was also super flavorful. There was no one else in on a Monday morning so it was very quiet which was awesome. Because we had a friend initially tell us you have to make a reservation. Which we def didn't need Monday morning. Was such a great experience can't wait to return.

    Visited for brunch last Sunday & so pleased we tried it! The place is very cute inside and the food was delicious. Our waitress was very busy as I think every table was occupied, but she was friendly and made sure our experience was good.

    This place was recommended by my coworker. So i thought I give it a try. Saturday around 1030 and luckily there were few tables available so no wait. Friendly staff and people around appeared to be enjoying the food. I have never been to Turkish restaurant so it was fairly new experience for me. I ended up ordering the special mam's which was recommended my the waiter. Got Chai tea to go with the meal. Over all the food was pretty good, but all the little side dishes felt like something I could get at a store. Nothing stood out far as flavor for me to say man this is so yummy. Ordered Turkish coffee since I never tried it, which was pretty good. Chai tea was also pretty good. Over all experience was pretty good, food was pretty good. Price not so good.. . Once again this was more like 3.5 but over all it was closer to 4 than 5. I did order some extra bread to go since they were yummy. I probably won't come back here again, nothing stood out for me to say I want to come back.

    Mam's Tray, Keto Salad, Shakshuka

    I discovered Rayoog just less than a year ago, even though I've lived in the area for a few, and my only regret is not stumbling upon them sooner! It's a quiet, homey little restaurant tucked away in an unassuming little lot, but the place is just amazing--interesting, authentic food and fantastic service. The Mam's tray comes with tea and bread and easily serves 2 or 3+ people especially if you get it with a salad or something else like the shakshuka.

    SO glad I found this hidden gem, if I could only go to one place for breakfast in Arizona forever it would probably be here. Food came out extremely fast, everything was delicious, and it was such a fun sharing experience (I even forgot to take a picture of the eggs I was having too much fun). Interior was extremely clean and proper, even the bathrooms were impeccable. Can't wait to return to try more of the menu.

    This place was incredible! The food, presentation and service were outstanding! We came around 1230 on a weekday/holiday and were seated right away. I'm sure they're probably busier on weekends. There was indoor/outdoor seating and easy parking. This place had family diner meets modern vibes. The server taking care of us patiently explained the menu and foods to us. My husband and I decided to order the special mam's platter, which allowed us to really try a variety of the traditional Arabic brunch food offerings. Everything on the platter was delicious, and we also really enjoyed the eggs and cheese bread that was included. There was not one thing that I didn't like here. I cannot give enough praise to this restaurant, and I think everyone should come here to experience it.

    Very nice clean little place in Gilbert Had indoor and outdoor seating I am visiting and did see the add on instagram It is Turkish place Price is decent Food is good Presentation is very nice It was my husband bday and we asked to celebrate they gave us baklava of 10 dollars ( ideally would be nice if it on the restaurant just like all other places) Overall nice place and I would consider to come back if I visit Arizona

    What a pleasant place to try ethnic breakfast that's fresh and not so heavy. Service was exceptional and such a cute vibe/energy. I can see the family feelings to it. Highly recommend it.

Parking 5/5 Always a challenge but coming early and doing the circle dance landed us a nice space across from the Liberty Market. Atmosphere 5/5 Such a cool restaurant with allot of history dating back to 1935/1958/2008/2022 which reflects the years of the establishments service and architecture evolutions. Always a great vibe here! Service 10/5 Our experience tonight began with the beautiful and friendly hostess Bailey. She greeted us with a warm smile and asked us what our seating presence was. We grabbed a booth overlooking Page street and the foot traffic outside. Our server tonight was Treven who joined us table side. He had our drink and starters in quickly. My wife ordered the Lucky Penny Latte and I had iced tea. Starter was their out of this world Burrata. The photos fall short of its glory. Entrees was their memorable minestrone soup, and I ordered their sesame ginger noodle salad featuring sweet potato glass noodles which are delicious and a host of smartly paired vegetables, chicken and a pleasant ginger sriracha delivering some spice and heat without overpowering the dish itself. For desert we fell way off the wagon with their in-house carrot cake. A slice easily feeds four and we enjoyed ours with espressos. Dinner was excellent from the service to the scratch kitchen food, and expressos, Magnifico! $125.00 with tip and leftovers too. Date night my friends-SYOY!

We started with large French fries served with two smallish containers ketchup and chipotle sauce. Fries good but could have a bit hotter and served with insufficient amount of sauces. 3. Hubs had Caesar salad. I'm not kidding when I tell you that half of the bowl was croutons. 2. I had the minestrone soup with sausage, no pasta. This was absolute delicious and filling. I'd come back just for a bowl @ $17. 5. Hubs and I shared the wood fired pepperoni pizza. This may have been one of the worst pizzas I've had in recent years. Floppy, scant cheese and sauce. Shriveled basil and tiny pepperonis. Even worse, the bottom was black. Just awful. 1. Our waitress and other servers were all friendly. Nice vibe, clean and gender inclusive restrooms clean and tidy. We might come back for dinner one day and try other dishes. (I'd still get the soup). Super convenient given the Hale theater's close proximity. Well def come back for coffee and dessert! ~EG Eats

A bunch of us from my spin class decided to get together on a Sunday for brunch and here's what I munched: Grande Chicken TInga Nachos ($18 - Shredded chicken tinga, queso, roasted tomato salsa, black beans, pico de gallo, roasted jalapeño, cilantro lime crema): Okay, maybe I don't recommend the nachos. While topped with a good amount of cheese on top, once congealed, any chip on the bottom that you pull out is just going to be a naked chip. They do top these chips off with a generous amount of toppings. Brunch Burger ($19 - Angus beef patty, sunny side egg, avocado, applewood smoked bacon, cheddar, sriracha aioli, hash brown patty, brioche bun, choice of fresh fruit or breakfast potatoes): I shared this burger and requested the kitchen to cut it for me which they did. Very thankful that they were okay with the request. The burger itself was decent. It was a little weird to eat as the tiny hash brown patty made the structural integrity funny but it's not a deal breaker. I will say that it needed more sauce or something. The burger was dry after a few bites. I also had my lunch with the most savory and spicy Bloody Mary. It was amazing and probably one of my favorite Bloody Marys in a long while. You're in DT Gilbert where the energy is going to be fun. You really can't go wrong having bunch here.

The woman was shaking her head and saying to the waitress "this isn't okay to be doing while people are eating", pointing toward our kids. Once I realized this, I immediately called my kids back over and had them sit with us, and I even let her know that if something was bothering her, she could've told us and I would have addressed it right away.

That meant a lot to us and really showed how supportive and understanding the staff is. I also hope one day that couple realizes how hard it is to keep a 4-, 6-, and 8-year-old sitting at a table for more than 30 minutes without shoving an iPad in front of them. On top of that, the service was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and I honestly had the best burger and tater tots of my life. We'll definitely be back--thank you for creating such a kid-friendly and enjoyable place for families!
