    4-Chicken Shawarma
    Courtney L.

    This was our first time at Rizzo, and I don't believe we will be back. I will start with the things I do appreciate about this place. The hummus was good, the dipping sauces were good and the salad was also good. All were small portions, which is OK but the flavor was on point. It wasn't magnificent, but it was good. The chicken and the meat that we got were very dry like if it had been sitting out under a lamp for many hours, I was worried I was going to get food poisoning (but hey we didn't). The establishment was incredibly smoky when we walked in very hazy from the cooking (Which I could get over). But- the most upsetting part of my experience overall, was that they served you a side of Hispanic tortillas with your meal instead of pita. You can see the tortilla package out on the counter and he pulls out two flour tortillas. Pita bread is not very expensive and it's actually really cheap to make and easy. Even buying pre made pita, we wouldn't have known if it was homemade or not. But the fact that they stoop so low to give tortillas bothered me so bad I'm not going to give this place another chance. I thought maybe they had run out of pita and had given us tortillas, but another review also mentioned the tortillas.

    Just amaaaaaaaaazing food and service. Hands down the best hummus and meat platter in Treasure Valley. The platter starts off with a salad, followed by hummus, tzatziki, and straw fries. Then we had the platter pictured. Such an amazing experience and service. Absolutely would come back again and again.

    Great food! This is not fast food. This is a family owned and operated restaurant. We ordered soooo much food. Portions were super generous. Flavor was wonderful. This is a must try!

    Best meal I've eaten in Boise since arriving 3 weeks ago for bus driving assignment. Full of flavor and fresh ingredients. I'm sad I leave back to Washington in two days that I can't eat here frequently. New restaurant, Turkish influence, hummus was perfect with garlic. If you're reading this review, you must visit for a memorable meal!!

    Very good family owned business! You can tell they perfected their recipes over the years in the family. Also stayed open very late for us!

    I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant given all the highly positive reviews. To…read morebe clear - this is for the restaurant, not the market. Service - 1 star. After being the only two sitting in the restaurant for 10 minutes, someone brought us menus. Another 10 later, they came back for our order. It was a tad frustrating because an item I wanted to order had a well-worn sticker blocking it out. Placed our food and drink order. Several minutes later, someone different came from the back and said one of the two items was also not available. So another item was chosen. Drinks were not delivered (tea and a water) until the food came 20 minutes later. And the water was a tiny 8-ounce bottle of water. 1.5 hours and we were the only diners. That says something. Food - Of what we could order, the chicken tikka was good but not amazing. 4 stars. The lamb kabob was amazingly bland and tough. So disappointing as I typically love lamb. 2 stars. The hummus was thin and tasted too sour with no flavor dimension to it. Was it old? Better hummus has a slight nutty flavor to it and this needed more garlic. 3 stars. Rice actually had decent flavor. 4 stars. We had both the pistachio and walnut baklava. As a baklava connoisseur, the walnut was far better flavor and texture but both seemed dry and old. Bread was okay. When I look at the number or reviews from those in CA or OR with less than 5 reviews on their account (all giving 5 stars) - it seems clear that people want free baklava or hot tea, as they advertise at the table when you sit down. But they need to read your review first before getting the token item. I have better ethics and higher standards than that. Maybe the restaurant section is on the slide. For a $20 entree, not worth it. There is better in Boise.

A friend of mine practically lives here- every other day, like clockwork- and the last time I joined, he ordered a full mezze-style spread that felt straight out of the Mediterranean coast: impossibly creamy hummus, cool and garlicky tzatziki, perfectly seasoned kebabs, fresh veggies, warm pita... dish after dish, each one better than the last. This is a casual, no-frills kind of place- so don't come expecting anything overly polished or upscale. The missing star from others? It's purely about the ambiance. But the food? That's a full five. What really shines is the quality, the authenticity, and the consistency. Everything tastes fresh, vibrant, and nourishing- the kind of meal that feels both indulgent and genuinely good for you. Add in friendly, welcoming service, and it's easy to see why people keep coming back.

It comes with four falafel and two samosas, hummus, and a salad. I didnt get any samosas just six falafels. If they had told me they were out I'd have ordered something else. The hummus had no flavor, the garlic sauce had no flavor, the salad was tasteless. I had to add salt because they only put an oil on it. I wasn't satisfied with the food. I don't think the falafel was even homemade. They looked and tasted frozen. I was very disappointed in the meal. It looks pretty, but had no flavor. Also, parking. There is absolutely no parking. The surrounding businesses wont let you park in their connected lot. You will get towed. Parking in their lot, you pull in and there isn't a back road, you have to put your vehicle in reverse to get out. Can he dangerous if you park all the way in.

    I visited Idaho Falafel when it parked was in a lot near my house. The first time I tried to visit,…read morethey had closed early. The second time, I made sure to go earlier in the day. I was very excited to try the falafel in particular, which I had heard great reviews about. I ordered the Gyro Plate with a side of Falafel. Based on the photo menu, I expected the falafel to come with some kind of a dipping sauce. I also ordered a side of garlic sauce for my gyro meat. The owner Mohammed was very friendly and outgoing. I enjoyed speaking with him. There was another gentleman working with him, who was cooking in the back. Mohamed answered all of my questions. One of the things I wanted to know before I ordered was if they were using one of the popular brands of gyro meat such as Kronos, which and you can purchase just about anywhere. I was told they did not. I was impressed to see that this business serves Coke from Mexico. I commented on that to Mohammed, including that I haven't had real Coke since I was a teenager. He insisted on giving me one to drink while I wait. It was excellent! My food came out fairly quickly. I drove home and opened the box to discover that the cook forgot to give me any sauce for my falafel, nor was there any garlic sauce. I really enjoyed the gyro meat. The falafel was pretty good but needed a little more seasoning, as did the hummus. The small salad had good flavor. I did not care for the pita bread. It was very thin and seemed a bit dry. I've been postponing my review in hopes of being able to revisit this business and try some more of their food, but it's been a while since I've seen them around. I'm hoping they will see this review and let me know if they have a new location.
