100% Recommend!!!!!!! SO YUMMY! Excellent service! Try all the yummy sauce and the black lemonade was so good. They know what they are doing and you can tell they put a lot of thought and effort into the restaurant. Overall so happy tried and will be back very soon. read more

Very rude people. They could be having a bad day but you can't treat your customers like they aren't there. Plus they make their Alfredo with ragu. Like Alfredo sauce is hard to make. read more

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!

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. read more

I got a DoorDash delivery from here. Appreciated the late open hours. They sent me extra lentil soup which was a nice gesture!

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. read more

If you take nothing else from the following review, just know this: the falafel at Rizzo was one of the best I have ever had! Light, flavorful, and not greasy at all, everyone at the table agreed it was absolute perfection! Okay, on to the review. We came in last weekend as a party of 6 for my niece's 10th birthday lunch. We came in around 2:00pm on Sunday afternoon and were seated right away. The menu was large, but not overwhelming. We ordered baba ganoush and stuffed grape leaves to start, both absolutely delicious! The baba ganoush was smoky, creamy, smooth, divine, and the puffy, perfectly chewy flatbread that came with it had us all excited! The grape leaves were a bit spicy and so good. For entrees, my niece got a burger the size of her head! My son got the lentil soup and ate it up in 30 seconds flat, he loved it! He also got a yogurt drink that he thought may be similar to a lassi, but when it arrived it was served over ice and, to his surprise it was salty instead of sweet. At first he didn't like it, so I took it and started the drink it instead, but a minute later he took it back and drank up the whole thing. I think he just had to get over the initial shock of expecting a sweet flavor and instead getting the saltiness. The rest of us got wraps: chicken shawarma, falafel, chicken burrito. All delicious, with crispy fries on the side! No one had a bad word to say about any of it, especially because our mouths were full the entire time LOL Now, I will say that the service was a bit slow. However, our server was taking orders AND cooking the food alongside the chef in the semi-open kitchen, so it's no wonder he was a bit preoccupied. But literally everything we had was worth the tiny bit of wait. I truly cannot wait to come back the next time I am in Boise! read more

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! read more

Nice to have something different in the area. Best lentil soup and hummus I've had! They serve large potions too. Love this place!

20$ for hardly any beef and a ton of rice. I pointed to a picture on the menu and it looked nothing like what I asked for. Ya know McDonald's commercials vs how it looks in real life? That's pretty much how it was except some food in the picture didn't even come with my order. I think the guy over charged me too and tried to make up for it by offering me free soup. Trash restaurant. Love getting ripped off. Also, what I got tasted like shit. It made me so angry that I've been thinking about it on and off for the past day. Had to write a review read more

Great food great service Some web sites say they close at 10pm but open tell 230am. Great for late night read more

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!! read more

Rizzo Restaurant - Chicken plate Hummus and Bread - Turkish Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I've driving by many times and this place is unassuming from the outside. I was blown away by how good the food was. The falafel, chicken burrito, and meat shawarma were all some of the best I've had. (Definitely the best I've had in Boise). Neat vibe inside and very friendly staff that made me feel at home. read more

It was my first time eating at this restaurant, as soon as I walked in I loved how neat, cool, and spacious everything was. Our food was distributed to me and my family at a timely manner, so that was super conviene with a family of four. Food was just breathtaking, quality of each dish was excellent. read more

Left over foods and very expensive, it looks too much in the picture but when they bring it to you looks completely different.

I've been to Rizzo twice now. The second time, I brought my family. The food is delicious and authentic. It is not an "Americanized" version, but the real thing as in "recipes from home." Additionally, it is family owned and operated. They are incredibly nice and warm. I look forward to going back. Rizzo gives a new meaning to "family restaurant." read more

Excited as this place took over a Little Caesars spot. Wasn't sure what type of food by the name. Was pleasantly surprised to find Shwarma and falafel here. The chicken was both moist and crispy and paired well with the included hummus. The only thing disappointing me was that I expected a more traditional bread instead got my food in a hoagie roll even though the menu pictures the traditional read more

AMAZING, BEST MED FOOD OF MY LIFE. Fantastic service and cool atmosphere. Very tasty chicken and bread

We were very excited to have a restaurant on the bench that wasn't run of the mill pizza or burgers. First time we tried it the rice was very flavorful buy the chicken tikka was dry, as if it had been cooked multiple times. The really bad experience happened yesterday. We ordered off of the menu that appears when you google them. The Rizzo stew and the shawarma...or so we thought. When we got there the person taking our money said that we ordered the $70 family platter, when we insisted multiple times that we orders the Rizzo stew, we were told that there was no Rizzo stew on the menu. When we showed them the menu on line attached to their website said they had Rizzo stew, they said that wasn't their menu. As to not cause a scene (after 3 times insisting that wasn't what we ordered a scene would have been inevitable) we paid for the family platter. Then when I later left a review and called the contact us # to leave a complaint. We were then confronted via text by the owners (who took a screenshot of my review and creepily sent it to me) and told us we were wrong and our bad review doesn't matter. I was really rooting for this place. It's so sad. Photos added are of the menu that is attached to their name, but they refuse to acknowledge. read more

If your adventurous I like to try new things. Otherwise stick to your own likes. We ordered the kabob off the menu because my son doesn't like all the fixings and it came with all the fixings. That didn't go over well. The flavors were nice and exotic to us. read more

This place was kind of ass. I don't like leaving negative reviews so i put 5 stars but I think you should make the portions bigger. I got the chicken Tikka and every other place I go to it stretches me 2 meals and always has a nice char on it, but this was barely a meal and I paid 20+ dollars for it. Also your pita was not pita, that was a tortilla, i ordered 2 extra for like 2$ a piece, I should have just gone to the winco value section. Honestly if the pita was actually pita, jt would have made up for everything else but bro, just spend 50 cents extra to get a quality product. I hope you guys make changes because I did not have a great experience. read more

Quite rude people. I called to order and asked how long the food would take, a very annoyed man answered. I get it, it's a restaurant, things can be crazy. The man took my name, order, and told to me wait 15 minutes. I show up about 20 minutes later and they were busy with two other customers. Again, totally expected. When I got to the counter, an annoyed lady asked me what I ordered and told me to wait. Maybe 5 minutes later, the guy I spoke with over the phone comes in and asks what I ordered. I confirm, and that's when I realize they did not even start my order. Okay, no problem, luckily I have time tonight. I wait an additional 30 minutes before my food is ready. At this point, no other customers were in the establishment - the place was super quiet. While I am waiting, I can hear them snickering in Arabic in the back, making fun of my name. There is absolutely no reason to disrespect your customers. One of the most special things about our state is the kindness of its people. A business owner should know better than to insult those who help him succeed. Anyways, the shawarmas were bland, burned, and the fries were soggy. The lentil soup could be better. The food was absolutely not worth the price, nor the wait, nor the disrespectful behavior. I will not be coming back here again. read more

let me begin by saying that after i ate here, i've been experiencing stomach cramps and diarrhea for two days. The fries were soggy and the falafel tasted terrible. I could not finish the food. I love Middle Eastern food, but this was poison. read more

We were excited to have a new restaurant option in the neighborhood. First time was very good, my husband and I both had sandwiches. Our second time, today, was not good! First of all they did not answer the phone for a pick-up order, so my husband went to the restaurant. No one was around until he yelled several times, what/where they doing? Got our dinner, only to find a long black hair on top of my bread, yuck! Sorry no can do... read more

It was completely empty when I came- I ordered the Baba Ganoush and the #28 shawarma with pita and got bread instead. The wait was longer than I expected. I got really sick from the sandwich unfortunately. Respectfully I think there was a language barrier so I can't blame the change in bread style. I had to reiterate my entire order to the waiter when closing out. This place is not kid friendly as they have no high chairs. I did like the baba ganoush. I wouldn't eat here again though. read more

The food here is fantastic and is served in very ample portions. It's a convenient location with easy parking and a good clean atmosphere inside. Highly recommend! read more
