This is only for a chicken shawarma dish I ordered. We came right as they opened on a holiday. We…read moredecided to get our dishes to go since I had a flight to catch. The people who worked here were really kind and accommodating. It felt super authentic too with the music. We waited for a bit, which was fine with us. We enjoyed sitting on some of the lower ground seating. My shawarma was had a bit too much sauce for my taste, but was fine otherwise. If I was in the area, I'd be interested in trying different things from their menu.

Swung by Kabob House for lunch one day when we were at the Boise Aquarium. I saw Afghan food with…read moregreat reviews so we figured we'd try it out! I had never had Afghan food before but it was delicious. It reminded me of a middle ground between Indian food and Greek food. There was kebab meat, skewer beef, skewer lamb, but we had it with butter chicken and a huge naan that took up almost half the table! The restaurant seemed to be authentically decorated. They served bottled beverages including the water which we didn't mind. The staff was very friendly. They were kind to my baby and brought a high chair for her. I also noticed they were very thorough on cleaning. I'd recommend this to anyone in Boise.

As I entered, I enjoyed the decorations. There was about 4 tables already seated, so plenty of open…read moreseats. I was seated right away. I ended up order beef kabob, tea, and a lentil dish (since the soup was not available). Food was solid. The portions were a bit off, salad too small, hummus side small, way too much rice, but overall it was tasty. The lentil dish was delicious. The tea was wonderful, and a wonderful portion, but the last cup or so was a bit too steeped and not tasty. Service was interesting. First off I came in, said table for 1, but owner pointed to his stomach and mine and said for 2? I chuckled but I was not expecting this. It was a very laid back service. When I got my tea, I requested a spoon for tea, but he said there already was sugar added. I didn't wanna argue, so I just drank it as is. Overall, solid food. Had a lot of regulars and to go orders. So I was happy with the visit.

Old Bosnians stacked at the bar top discussing the world. A true cultural social center. The place is clean and spacious with posters indicating that there is entertainment at night. The Reuben was very good. Not salty, plenty of thin sliced meat. Not quite a Reuben as there was no sauerkraut, no Thousand Island dressing or rye bread. More a delicious panini. The attention to detail and courteous owner shows through every action. I GOT AN AMERICAN FLAG ON MY SANDWICH. Bravo!!!!

What a special little gem of a place. Small grocery store up front and a huge restaurant hidden behind. There is a wine shop, bar, and grill in the large space. No matter what sandwich you order (panini house sandwich is my fave so far), you will be delighted. I always get Idaho gold with my sandwich too (fries). If it is a bit busier, please have patience and enjoy relaxing. Every time I pop in it is just the owner running it. He is absolutely amazing and will serve you with a smile and his fun energy. You can order to-go as well if your time is extra crunched. Stop, stop. stop driving by!! I was blown away by the treasure that's within. I hope you are too!

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.

We've been trying different restaurants around town on Friday's since the stay at home orders took affect. So far, this is our best experience. The food was great. We had the Muhammara, which was excellent. We also had the Fatosh salad with Shawerma and the falafel, also excellent. Just be careful, I ordered through YELP/GrubHub and the payment wasn't recorded at the restaurant. My husband picked it up and wasn't aware that I had paid so paid again. I called and it was taken care of immediately Highly recommend this place for Mediterranean food. We'll be going back for sure. There is a Mediterranean grocery next store that we're looking forward to checking out too.

Alright, let's talk about why this isn't a full five stars- because when it comes to flavor, Mazzah…read moreMediterranean Grill is easily one of the best Mediterranean spots in Boise, hands down. 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.

The restaurant itself is very clean, modern, and inviting. The interior is well designed and creates a nice first impression. The service was slow but friendly. The staff was polite, though they seemed a bit timid and lacked confidence. The biggest disappointment was the food. Everything looked fresh, but it was surprisingly bland. The Greek salad had very little flavor, the hummus was equally underwhelming, and the gyro just wasn't anything memorable. We kept waiting for those bold Mediterranean flavors that never came. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it also wasn't one we'd repeat. There are better Greek and Mediterranean options in the Treasure Valley, so unfortunately we wouldn't return.
