    Baklava?
    Derek K.

    Locally well priced and great proportioned Greek food. My friend and I both ordered what the other person preferred. He appreciated the falafel and I loved his shawarma plate along with the pita and hummus that I got. We were gifted amazing soup and desserts while we waited which really made an impression. It felt homie and very clean inside. These people care about their restaurant. Unfortunately I will take off a star because we waited for awhile, even with their apology, and his food didn't come with a pita as it showed on their photo. I think anyone who wants Greek should support them.

    Kofta beef plate
    Patricia B.

    I really wanted to love this place as it is conveniently located and has decent parking. I usually get the hamburger meat kebab, which they call Kofta beef skewers. I saw the description and is seemed to be cubideh or at least similar. Well, the plate includes 2 pieces of the meat and they were small compared to other places. Also, they did not have much flavor/onion/spices and were quite lean. I do like meat just with salt, so that was OK, but I was expecting a much more flavorful (and bigger) skewers. The meat was quite dry/lean but I am still giving 4 starts because it was a decent meal and the staff was very friendly. I placed the order in a rush and picked up in a rush. I do remember seeing the option for the meat temperature when I was going to order earlier, and I thought about selecting medium or medium well, but I do not remember making a selection, so I do not know if I am confused about it or if it defaulted to well done and I did not notice. I did like the addition of hummus to the plate, and the salad was good. Also, the rice was not my favorite, it had sort of a sweetness to it, I think it tasted like cardamom, which I was not expecting. I will try to stop by with more time and chat with the staff and ask some questions to see if I can find another favorite because I ordered what I always order at mediterranean places and it did not go well. There was no sumac in my bag, just a small container with some sort of mayonnaise dip, it looks pink so it may have some sumac but I did not taste it in the dip or the meat.

    Tender Grilled to perfection! Homemade Hummus with Round Pita. Garlic Dip on the Side. Owner so interested in her guests. When you order a platter you are served a small bowl of lentil soup. Great touch to keep your Tastebuds engaged. Yellow Rice is the base of this dish. Desserts are to die for, need to keep the weight off. Everything is made on the premise! Take away box!

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    What a lovely charming local ethnic restaurant! We visited for lunch with a 4-year-old after swim lessons at nearby Hubbard family swim school. Well standing in line looking at the menu, she managed to tip over all of the velvet ropes, their plastic stanchions are top-heavy and quite a hazard in the lobby. Does foot traffic really justify this clap trap? Two employees watched us struggle to right then, one was literally standing right there and did nothing. The child could have been hurt, so this needs to be addressed. Our cashier was very smiley but seemed not to understand any of my questions. In the menu pictures they show the gyros as a pressed and formed prefab sheet not shaved. So I didn't order gyros. I chose the chicken shawarma plate but didn't understand it came with items (besides salad and rice) which I could not eat due to diet restrictions. I would not have paid for a platter with giant Pita and hummus, I would have gotten a simpler dish which I could have eaten fully. The chicken was very tender and the shawarma was more deeply seasoned than I am accustomed to. However, I really prefer white meat and I believe this was dark. I am thankful it was not covered with the traditional mayonnaise shawarma sauce. It was on the side. I'd much prefer tzatziki unfortunately I did not know to ask for it. The rice was fluffy basmati and they generously brought lentil soup for the table to start the meal. The preschooler devoured two soups and our hostess was so amused she brought more for us to take to go. My companion ordered a beef shawarma platter and was very happy with her choice, it was shaved ground meat as I would have expected the gyros to be! We all had leftovers, my husband had an entire meal off mine. So the value is high even if your entree is $17. I would like to see lunch specials, or smaller versions made available on the menu! This family business goes out of their way to be personal, cordial and provide over the top generous food, with a few minor potholes to fill. The bakery looks fabulous too!

    Beef Shawarma
    Kiki L.

    This place is delicious! The baklavas was sooo amazing - loved the pistachio one!! We got a beef shawarma flatbread - delicious. The French fries are good but likely from a bag. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the jalapeno poppers. We will be back!

    Wow! Why did it take me so long to visit this place. Maybe cos its tucked around the side of 40th and T Bird... Well, first impressions as you walk in the door is amazing,,, larger than you think from outside, colorful umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and the smell of incredible fresh prepared sweets, almonds, pistachios honey and flaky pastries! Ordered the Giro plate meal, great portion size and perfect hummus included, prepared in house i think. Giro meat was well flavored and juicy with a fresh pita. Family owned and operated and it shows, met the daughter, son and Dad, great atmosphere, with a lot of locals dropping in for tea a pastries. This will become a regular visit for me!

    Beef Gyro plate

    I'm glad I found another middle eastern restaurant and supporting a small business. The ambiance was nice with hanging umbrellas throughout the store. Reminding me of that section in Puerto Rico where ppl take pictures. As for the food: Beef/lamb Gyro: I was say 9/10, the basmati turmeric rice was a little tough, could be due to overcooking or less water, but overall great. The meat seasoning had a good flavor and definitely you can't taste the gaminess from the lamb. Chicken Shawarma: I will give this 8.5/10, as the flavor of the chicken was great but a tad bit dry. Sweets: definitely the first thing you smell walking into the store. That rich buttery sense that hits you right in the nose. Yum ! In terms of service: great, got my food shortly after ordering with my hour lunch.

    Great family owned restaurant! The food was very good! My family mainly came here for the sweets but saw the food and end up trying a combo plate to go. While we were waiting, they let us try a cup of lentil soup which was very flavorful! We all enjoyed it! The food was great but the baklava was delicious! Just the right amount of nuts and sweetness! We love the pistachio ones. If you're in the area check them out! You will not be disappointed!

    Sooo happy my fellow yelpers recommended this restaurant!! The kindest lady who seemed to be the owner took my order and I observed her interaction with other customers and she was very welcoming and attentive to everyone. I got the falafel and I was very pleased with my plate. Very filling for the long day of driving I had ahead of me. Whenever I'm in town I will visit.

    Beef Gyro Sandwich

    Sasa is a hidden gem in paradise valley. We immediately saw wide spread of desserts as we entered. But we were focused on getting lunch. We settled on chicken shawarma and beef gyro. Chicken was chopped into smaller pieces so I assumed it would be dry, but I was so wrong. It was so moist and flavorful. Even the salad was freshly chopped. The hummus and eggplant sample they gave us was so delicious. The pita bread was served warmed too. Hubby really enjoyed his beef gyro sandwich. The meat was so juicy and yummy. Service was excellent and the staff/owners were so friendly. Looking forward to going back already. Highly highly recommend.

    I own the nail salon next door, and Sasa Restaurant's food is truly amazing. I wasn't very familiar with Mediterranean cuisine at first, but they inspired me to branch out and try new dishes. They've set the standard for Mediterranean food in Arizona. I've tried several other places, and none compare. The restaurant is run by the sweetest family, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend!

    So sad because I fell in love with this place for its dessert and hospitality. Service is still fine. Dessert is disgusting. They keep drenching it in sooo much syrup and that my baklava is extremely soggy and not crunchy at all. They've been doing this for a bit now and I think it's a new thing. They didn't used to do this. Now it's overly sweet, so soggy that it's melting from the vast amount of syrup, no crunch whatsoever, and it's just so disappointing. You can't even taste the pistachio anymore. You just taste syrup and soggy paper. The philo is no longer crunchy and has this weird papery texture. It's so sweet and sticky that it's hurting my brain. I love baklavas and I especially love pistachio desserts. I also love supporting small businesses. I'm not going to go here anymore. I don't want a refund or anything. Just heartbroken now I need to find another place that serves pistachio baklavas.

I first heard about this place from a friend who lives in Tucson but didn't give much thought to it until I actually saw the restaurant a few months ago while I was at another store in the shopping center. After multiple visits, I can conclude that I enjoy more of their cold sandwiches than their grilled/hot ones. My top three picks in no particular order would be the Baggin's club, high Baggin's, and the chicken rojo. All are different in their own way, but what they do have in common is that they are jam packed with ingredients and bursting in flavor. I haven't tried all their soups and sides yet but from what I've tried so far, I would say the tomato basil bisque has been my favorite. It accompanies well with many sandwiches I've had. The only thing I didn't care for much from here were any of the sandwiches with chicken. Their chicken was a bit too dry for my preferences. So far, I've yet to have a bad experience here. The staff are always warm, friendly, and patient. They try to get your orders out in a timely manner, but they do get busy at times. I usually take my food to go but they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options if you want to dine in.

The first thing that stands out is the massive, beautifully maintained outdoor seating area. It's covered, pet-friendly, and thoughtfully designed with fireplaces and privacy walls that give each table a more intimate feel. There's even an outdoor bar where you can grab a drink while you wait or just enjoy the atmosphere. Inside, the décor is incredibly creative. Butcher knives and custom cutting boards line the walls, and the open kitchen showcases hanging meats so you can see everything in action. The bakery area adds another layer of charm, with rolling pins and whisks hanging from the ceiling, it all feels intentional and immersive without being over the top. The menu is just as fun and different as the space itself. I started with the Sicilian wedge and then had to go for what they're known for, the handcrafted meatballs. You can mix and match meatballs with different pastas, but the real showstopper is the "meatball carousel." It lets you sample multiple meatballs with their recommended sauces, all presented on an elaborate Ferris wheel-style display that turns heads across the restaurant. It's a full experience, not just a meal. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. What truly made the night, though, was our server, Mia. She struck that perfect balance of fun and professional, engaging, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with. She guided us through the menu, made great recommendations, and brought a level of energy that elevated the entire experience. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows. For dessert, we went with the traditional Sicilian cannoli stuffed with Nutella and a lemon tart that was so good I'd honestly consider flying back just to have it again. This place delivers on every level, atmosphere, creativity, food, and service. I'll absolutely be making this a regular stop anytime I'm in Phoenix.

The only thing I was bummed about is that I love their marinara so much that I wanted to get the rigatoni with marinara as my side. However, they don't allow you to sub the sauce. It came with vodka sauce and I'm not a fan of that, so I opted for the side salad. Wish they'd allow you to sub the sauce.
