Their new location is on S 13th Street, only a little ways from Layton. There are still lots of…read morepictures from their old location on Layton, but as of April 2025, they are inside Rayan Market & Restaurant, a Middle Eastern market (see pictures). It is a small family owned business, and mother cooks all the food. It's only been a month since they moved here from Layton, so they don't have a sign yet, but just go in to the Rayan super market, and navigate yourself to the back of the building. They do have a table off to the side inside the market if you're in a pinch and need to eat there, but I'd recommend taking the food to go. The family is friendly, and if you aren't too familiar with Mediterranean food, they will help you navigate their menu items. They have 2 types of rice. One is a smoked rice (first time I tried it, and it was good!), and the other one is cinnamon. I didn't care for the latter, but the smoked rice was delicious. I was only going to try a bite or two, but I ended up kicking myself off of keto and ate a whole bowl. Chicken special - with rice and salad Salad was a small portion of very fresh lettuce, tomato and cucumber in light oil dressing. Chicken was a bit dry for my taste. They did have the chicken in a warmer plate (like the buffet style) and it must have been sitting there a while. The flavors were good, but the dryness was disappointing. The menu says "half chicken", but we got 2 pieces of thigh+drum. In a way that's good, cuz any breast meat would have been so much more dry. Lamb special - with rice and salad We ordered the cinnamon rice for this dish and the smoked one for the chicken dish. Like I said, the smoked rice was better for my palate. The lamb was delicious. It was falling off the bones, but it wasn't dry. We got 3 large chunks of lamb with bone and one little piece boneless. In both plates, our server piled the rice so high! I hope they don't go out of business giving so much rice! But I'm not complaining. Overall, the meal was delicious and I would definitely go again. I'd love to try some of their appetizers and other meat items.

Casablanca Brady Street has been a staple for my girlfriends and I for years even before the patio…read morewas built. We've always loved the happy hour, hookah, and food. We've enjoyed "sip and paints" here, New Year's Eve, when they offered brunch with crepes, and frequented when they had their vegetarian lunch buffet. Unfortunately, things have changed. 1. Atmosphere The décor hasn't changed. Still sleek, dimly lit, and romantic. The bathroom water wasn't working, and staff seemed aware of it when we mentioned it. How is that sanitary or up to code? Several of the chairs brought to our table were also broken, with bent legs a clear safety issue. It's typically packed on a Saturday like a dance club but it was nearly empty on a Saturday night which may be a reflection of our experience. 2. Service Our waitress was kind and attentive despite handling a large group, but the busboy was unprofessional. He started clearing plates while people were still eating and even asked my husband to reach across the table to hand over other guests' dishes. It made us feel rushed, even though the place wasn't busy. 3. Food My chicken shawarma was greasy, hard, sour, and unseasoned, almost as if the meat had gone bad. The potato balls were cut open which I've never seen and underwhelming. My husband and son's wings were over fried and tough, the spinach artichoke dip was clumpy and poorly blended, and others said the lamb chops were "okay." Honestly, the best thing I ate that night was the pita bread. 4. Overall Experience This used to be our go to for birthdays, Brady Street drag show viewing, and happy hour, but it's gone downhill. Between the sanitation issues, broken furniture, food quality, and rushed service, it no longer feels like "our spot". SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.... This was hard to write because I have so many great memories here and I wanted the experience to be better. Sadly, I won't be returning.

I came on a Saturday night with a 7pm reservation with a group of 4. We had no issue getting a…read moretable. We set down and ordered drinks. After about 10 minutes we noticed our server changed which is no big deal. Another 10 minutes goes by and we still did not receive the drinks. We said something to our new server and then about 5 minutes after that we got our drinks. We then ordered 1 appetizer and 4 entrees. After about 30 minutes we received 3 entrees and no appetizer. We were told it would be a few minutes for the last entree. In the span of 20 minutes afterwards, we mentioned twice to the server we are still waiting for the 4th entree. Then the last entree comes with the appetizer. One of the people in the party asks for silverware as none of us received any. The server then retrieved plastic utensils with a napkin that you would get from a food truck. We then asked if we could get real silverware The amount of money this place charges and they want to give plastic silverware. Casablanca did take off the late 4th entree but only because we mentioned it. Server didn't seem to care. She rarely checked up on us. We then get the bill. The bill says it adds gratuity for parties of 5 or more after 7. WE ARE A PARTY OF 4. What kind of scam is this place running. Horrendous service. Go somewhere else please

The only thing I don't really like is their pita bread, but the other parts of the plate more than make up for it.

The nicest worker! The cashier was really cool, kind and did give me a side of tzatziki for free. I…read moredefinitely offered to pay, but I'm guessing since I ordered food, he was chill about it. I was in town for a baseball tourney and used Yelp to find a local spot near me. Shawarma House was number two on the list and close. I only got a falafel sandwich, not a lot to analyze. So, customer service and cleanliness were both fives. The falafel was not my favorite. It is skinny, veggies are carrot heavy, I'm used to more of an Israeli salad: tomatoes and cucs, lots of herbs. I subbed garlic sauce for the tahini. Didn't taste it, sadly. I also got a side of the tzatziki...honestly my least favorite tzatziki of all time. Very mayonnaise forward, no salt, just not what I want in a sauce. I would go again but try something different, likely the namesake...Shawarma!

We had low expectations for a hotel restaurant, but Tre Rivali stands head and shoulders above typical hotel offerings. Service was friendly and staff was helpful and gave great recommendations on which dishes would be fastest. The Lamb Kawarma was absolutely delicious - fresh, tasty and quite filling for 2 people to share as a light dinner (we added a side salad). Getting the check delayed us a little, as our server disappeared and no one else wanted to take over her table. However, we'd definitely go again - but with a little more time to enjoy the food and ambiance.

Absolutely recommended with 5 stars!…read more I heard about this restaurant from TikTok as it is rated the #1 restaurant in Lake County, and now I see why! We stopped in for some lunch. We were greeted by owner Marlene, who is absolutely wonderful. We placed our order and got some fresh lemon water. I ordered the lunch special Chicken and Gyro plate, and he ordered the Lamb Kabob Plate. While we waited for the food, we chatted with Marlene, and we were given some baklava (love that stuff). My goodness, the aroma coming from my plate was so good. The meats were cooked to perfection, and the vegetables were just right. He told Marlene that was not his first choice for food, but this meal changed his mind. The pitas and sauces were delicious as well. The presentation is nice, and portion sizes are large. I brought some home. I feel so bad because I forgot to tip, which is crazy for us. But, this just means we have to return soon and give a large tip. Don't skip trying this place. You won't be disappointed! Closed on Sunday, so plan accordingly.

I was going to get the platter for my family, since it takes the guessing out of figuring out what to get and provides variety. But I didn't care too much for chicken skewers and I actually wanted the lamb as well. So I made my own combination of two platters with extra skewers of beef and lamb koubideh. And then a domeh hummus platter with the dill rice (worth the dill, great flavor and good texture for the rice) and a cucumber salad on its own. I really liked the bread that comes out it was hot hot, and was excellent. The portions are huge - it's like getting served a med pizza pan of meat and rice. The pictures probably don't describe how large the portion is, but I think it's really good value. The dining room is nicely decorated, I appreciate the furniture and the artwork. We did bring home two boxes worth of food. The beef and lamb koubideh is wonderfully cooked and it was steaming hot when it arrived at our table. What a sight! Great meal, we left really happy and full!
