Chicken Kabob Wrap
Dionne V.

The place was empty when we arrived accept for on person finishing his bill settlement. We stood at the counter a few minutes looking at the menus on the counter. A pleasant woman emerged and as if we wanted anything and we said we wanted to eat i . We grabbed the menu and chose a table. She appeared to be working alone. We were finally able to order after about 10 minutes and were given drinks from the cooler. Doesn't seem full service but it was Monday at 1:30 so maybe no staff?? The food to me was average in taste. I might try the lamb next time if in the area. I wasn't impressed as some reviewers with the ambiance or the food. The prices are reasonable so it's worth a visit and let your tastebuds decide.

Chicken kebab wrap with cabbage rolls.

Went here with others who are from North Africa to try something new. Ordered chicken strips for starters, frozen from a bag and heated up, same with the fries that were included. For my meal I had a chicken kebab wrap with dolma for the side and tzatziki sauce. The chicken was dry and bland, but the veggie accompaniment was fresh and customisable. The pita was soft and tasty. The tzatziki sauce was just ranch with lemon juice. The dola was absolutely foul and I only had one bite. There are bottled drinks to buy, and there was a decent selection. The bathroom had no toilet paper. Staff is warm and prompt.

Had been iffy about trying this place due to reviews but it was honestly so good and makes me sad to see it have poor reviews. The whole experience felt very simple and authentic. I ordered a chicken kabob plate with hummus and lentil stew. It was very delicious and a huge portion. The chicken was really well seasoned and everything came out steaming hot. I am looking forward to eating here again!

Yahya offered a little Halloween discount which motivated us to place a large takeout order…read more The Greek salad, hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves, and gyros meat were all at their usual level of excellence. The tabouleh salad tasted particularly fresh. I tried the lamb shank for the first time. I received a very generous portion of lamb and rice. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender and very flavorful. I enjoyed the dish a lot. Yahya's continues to be one of our favorite restaurants with fresh, healthy, and delicious food at a reasonable price. Conveniently, it is also just a three minute drive from my house!

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it was a disappointment…read more The highlights were the lentil soup and the hummus. Both were fresh, flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous. Unfortunately, everything else missed the mark. The chicken kebabs had an unexpected sweetness that just didn't work for me. The side salad looked wilted and didn't seem very fresh, and even the dressing was overly sweet. The rice was bland and had almost no flavor. The biggest letdown was the garlic sauce--it tasted like it was made with mayonnaise instead of a traditional garlic sauce, and I found it unpleasant. The overall atmosphere didn't help. The restaurant didn't seem particularly clean, the décor and ambiance felt like they had been thrown together, and the employees came across as disconnected rather than welcoming or engaged. I can easily overlook a place that's been put together on a budget if the food is outstanding, but in this case, it simply wasn't. Aside from the lentil soup and hummus, I didn't enjoy the meal. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

We arrived at Edgewater Public Market on a Thursday for a late lunch. Inside is wasn't too busy,…read morethere were plenty of tables to sit at & a ton of restaurant options to choose from. After roaming around for a while we decided to try The Gyros King & we're happy we did. There was only one employee working...he was friendly & helpful. Outside there were lots of trees, benches, picnic tables as well as bike racks & ample parking spaces. We had the Traditional Gyros Sandwich with a Side Salad. The sandwich was filled with seasoned beef & lamb, red onion, tomato & Tzatziki Sauce all in a Pita. This was delicious, I especially enjoyed the sauce & the meats were flavorful too. The bread wasn't as fresh as it could have been, it kept falling apart. The salad was very good. The dressing was yummy & all the ingredients were crisp. However, I would have liked the cucumbers & tomatoes to be bite size. All in all a good lunch, next time I'll try the Hummus Plate & the Fried Calamari.

I've had their salads before, this was my first time getting a gyro…read more Gyro sounded good on this evening. It comes with a handful of fries underneath. Like all the restaurants in Edgewater, they have a screen based ordering system that will text when the order is ready for pick up. I chose the gyro as well as an order of dolmades. It was a relatively short weight given that it was prime dinner rush. I took my order and headed off to my book club. The sandwich was a bit messy. I know to ask for plastiware next time. Luckily I had access to some extra napkins. The dolmades were tasty, with a wedge of lemon and some feta on top. I would get both of these items again.

I called ahead because they didn't look open from the outside. Super friendly staff answered a set…read moreaside a table for 1. When I came in the door all the wait staff called me by name! The interior is charming with a slim upper level row of tables. The food! Oh my! Some of the best food I've had eating out for a long time! I'm so glad I chose the combination plate which gave me the choice of 3 entree portions and soup or salad. I had the soup avogolemono and spanakopita, moussaka, and chicken souvlaki over rice. (Sorry if I spelled these wrong) All three were divine! The seasoning each one was complex and so flavorful. These chefs know how to cook great food! The only thing that was a bit uncomfortable, is that the restaurant was really hot! I ordered a dessert that was described as similar to a flan. I was expecting something cold, but it was hot out of the oven! So it came home with me and I will chill it before finishing. It didn't occur to me that it could be a warm dessert. It was a very tasty rich, thick custard with a lite creamy sauce sprinkled with cinnamon. My overall experience was fantastic due to the delicious food and friendly staff. My server was extremely attentive- I regret that I don't recall his name as I'm writing this, but I'm sure it can be figured out! He said he's worked with the family for around 20 years. If I lived closer, this would be a neighborhood regular.

Located in…read morea converted house in a residential neighborhood, the food is great in a warm and engaging setting. No reservations accepted, but we were seated immediately. Most of the tables were full, and most of the patrons seemed like local familes. Always a good sign. Our server was charming and funny. He helped us navigate the menu and kept things moving. Thank you! When you eat Greek, ya gotta have Saganaki! The experience of the tableside flaming cheese make it worth it, even if breaded, fried cheese isn't your thing. It is REALLY good here. Tried a variety of dishes. Honestly everthing was excellent and I don't think I can pick a standout. Except maybe for the baklava. I'm a SUCKER for baklava and Pete's version is OUTSTANDING. We were even treated to after dinner shots of Ouzo. I've never been to Greece, but in my mind, this is what a local Greek cafe would be like. Go! You won't be disappointed.
