About a week ago, I decided to leave the office for lunch and enjoy the nice weather! Driving out here was easy, lots of parking and lots of outdoor seating! Shatera is located at one of those mixed properties: restaurants, apartment complex, and cafes. I was greeted very warmly and order a gyro plate for dine-in. My food came in fast and hot - it was a HUGE serving. I enjoyed my meal, but noticed it was just okay compared to other Mediterranean places here in AZ. I found the hummus to be grainy and the ratio of rice a bit much. Also - no pita to go along with all this hummus?

First time here! Service is good. But please have patience while your order gets ready as they make it fresh for everyone. Bit pricey but food was decent. Chicken came out soft and flavorful. Beef Lamb kebab was but dry though. Would go again, as they have good veg/ non-veg options to try. We sat outside, good weather and fresh food. Was fun.

Opened September of 2024 in the Cooley Station area. Shatera offers a variety of authentic Mediterranean dishes, including Halal Shawarma, Kabab Platters, and Falafel. They also include a Middle Eastern breakfast in the AM hours. The shop is located in the Verde complex. It's a little tricky or confusing to get to as you're actually parking in the back (of their business) and have to walk around to the streets sidewalk to get to their front entrance of their restaurant. My boys and I came in today around 3:00 PM. We were the only customers at that time. Cute modern decor. Small section of beautifully bright yellow table tops for seating inside. Tables are extremely tiny, so I had to sit at another alone and not with my guys. However, they also have a nice larger out door space with misters and a dog friendly patio too, but it was way to hot to sit outside. It's an order at the counter with the menu options listed. The staff explained the process of how to select your options, which we appreciated the run down of choices. Plates or pockets- pick your protein preferences. We ALL chose a pocket & I elected to also add fries to my meal. Not too long of a wait. My boys did the chicken pocket and I had the gyro pocket. Mine was pretty standard and the boys chicken tended to be a bit more flavorful than my protein. Somewhat unique that the pocket had BOTH cucumber and dill pickle?! That's the first time I've experienced the two together this way in a Gyro. The fries were good and good size portion yet very little feta cheese. With that said; for the Gyro and fries, tax and tip it was $20.80 with no drink!! Overpriced in my opinion. Staff were pleasant and engaging. Establishment was clean over all, but my table could have used a wiped down after the last customer left, as it was dirty with food debris. If we were to return; it may be a better option to do a plate as it seems for the price point you do get a little more bang for your buck!

Found this new Mediterranean place 15min from my house so decided to try it out since I had a 75min lunch break. It's in a new commercial development with many other new restaurants and shops. Walking up I noticed the patio was extremely busy...potentially a graduation celebration with multiple families. I reviewed the menu and ordered a chicken Shawarma pocket and a fountain drink. The fountain is Jones soda...really a rare find and exciting as I haven't had Jones soda is a few years. Unfortunately they didn't have the crème soda which is my favorite, but I got the Root Beer and sampled a few other flavors. The patrons on the patio were nice to lend me a chair and table as I was standing looking for a place to sit. The food came out pretty quick. The pocket sandwich was good size and overflowing with chicken. The garlic sauce wasn't too strong but gave it good flavor. The chicken shawarma was delicious- tender, spiced and flavorful. The only downside was the lettuce and onion were put in first so it was in the bottom of the pita and I didn't get to it until the chicken was almost all gone, thus only a few bites with all the ingredients. The price was slightly high for just a pocket sandwich and drink with no side, but still enough for lunch. I would return in the future if I'm in the area.

10/10 this was my perfect meal. I got the gyro plate with fries and my husband got the chicken shawerma plate with rice. Both were insanely good and huge portions we definitely could have split one! The employees were so kind and checked on us while we were eating. The inside isn't huge so we sat outside since it was a nice day. Will be coming here all the time!

Some sweets (has coconut breading on outside, custard in middle with no pistachios)

Man this place was popping! The wait time for food was about 20 mins, but there were a lot of orders. This would have been 5 stars but the kebab platter I ordered, the meat was very dry. Definitely over cooked. Everything else was very very good!! I don't know what the desert was called but I sure am glad I ordered 2 of them! It was soooo good!! With the kebab platter (or plate), I ate the salad first and wow!! Just wow!! So good! Everything in the platter was top notch, just the meat was dry. I'll come back for sure, hoping they get the meat part right next time! They have nice outdoor seating with the mist system going on, you don't even notice you're outside. Even though the wait was lengthy, it wasn't just a boring 20 minutes, it went by so fast. Great service, even better vibes!

This place has some serious quality of Mediterranean food. It's a simpler menu with roughly 6 variations of different dishes and pita pockets. But let me start off with the pita, thicker, fluffier, and softer than all the other pitas I've had. They make the best pita pocket I've ever had. It is filled with an unreal amount of stuff and the flavors are excellent. You can kind of expect that as soon as you walk in and see the nice modern design and how clean the place is. Now let's move onto the plates, the quantity that you get is very reasonable for the price. I tried every meat and I honestly cannot tell you that any were worse than the other. They were all excellent from the chicken to the beef/gyro. I'm not a big falafel guy, but I had their entire falafel pocket which they nicely top off with eggplant Now let's move onto the drinks, I've never talked about fountain drinks at a restaurant before. But they carry Jones fountain drinks, you know those Jones bottle sodas that we all buy.. they have it on tap! This place is definitely five stars in every way from the people to the food to the atmosphere.

Nice workers, nice environment, not enough food for $14 at all; pocket was small. Bread was cold, veggies tasted old and wilted. It was definitely not as full was the last pocket I got.

Ajali S.

We ordered the Arayes and Shish Tawook pocket for breakfast. The Arayes was unique and flavor filled. The Shish Tawook chicken was well cooked and soft ( unlike burnt or raw pieces I have had the misfortune of consuming at other Mediterranean places) and the portion was lunch sized. We ordered a to go. Docking a star as yelp and the restaurant site noted incorrect opening hours on Sunday at 8am ( it is actually 9 am). We ordered online and were told to " pick up at 8.44 am) leading by spouse to wait more than 30 minutes to pick up the order after the place opened at 9.

Chicken shawarma plate with a side of extra pita.

We just moved into town and drove by the plaza and saw Shatera so we decided to try it. We are big Mediterranean food lovers and this place did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, robust in flavor and the portion sizes were great. We were served our food fast even though it was busy and we got to sample some dessert which was delicious. Order extra pita because it is delicious and a small but notable mention to the tasty pickles. This is an order at the counter and take it to go or eat outside with misters type of place.

Delicious! This review has to be 85 words at least. First time here. The food was delicious. Will be back!

Bradley Y.

To be fair, the food tastes pretty good. But as other reviews have said, their prices are way too high. $20 for a plate that only comes with one skewer? Kinda crazy. Maybe the pockets are a better deal, but I'm too disappointed to try them again. More expensive than most other Mediterranean places but with half the portions. I can't recommend.

This was our first time here. The good- Staff is friendly and food was prepared quickly. The bad- the indoor seating is very very limited. We were a party of six and we had to sit two to a table separately. There was only one table that can seat more than two people in the restaurant . The majority of the seating is on the wrap around patio which does you no good on a cold, rainy day. Our biggest complaints were that they served the meat on top of the French fries ! So guess what- you get soggy fries- yuck! In addition you get two microscopic pita breads. We ordered two beef shawarma plates, a beef kabob, and a gyro plate which had the same two microscopic pita triangles ( defeating the purpose of ordering a gyro). We will not return read more

Me and my boys went back again last night... yeah, living 12 minutes away might be a problem ‍. I'm a falafel lady through and through, but I cheated a little and went for the shish tawook pocket -- and HOLY MOLY, it was next-level delicious! The sauce? Perfect. The marinade? Magic. The spices and stuffing? Overflowing in the best way. And the bread? Held it down like a real one. Packed to the max and never fell apart on me -- loyal till the last bite.

I stopped into the restaurant and the people were great, very friendly and helpful. The wait for food was long, which I was prepared for as I saw something saying that, but was not told it from the staff or any expected wait time. The soda machine was out of most flavors without any notice as I was buying a soda and the remaining options were very light on syrup. After awhile someone complained and they turned something on and we all filled up and then I noticed they turned it off again. Not sure why, but it was disappointing as I paid for a soda and food wasn't cheap. I got the food and it was "ok", we were unimpressed. Quantity, flavor, overcooked beef (charred black completely), etc. Sauces were good. read more

So extremely disappointed when I was super excited to try it, especially since we love Mediterranean food

I ordered off of DoorDash and I was quite surprised at how the food arrived. Some restaurants just…read moreslop food in a styrofoam container and a thin bag, Green corner on the other hand did a fantastic job. The containers are perfect for keeping the food just the way it was made even after the delivery. The salad had fresh, crisp ingredients, nothing wilty or brown. Everything tasted great and there was more than enough in each portion. Only knitpick would be to have an option to leave off onions on the app

Great little locals favorite spot. Pricing is very comparable to other restaurants of this cuisine…read more I met my friend at 5 for dinner and it was not very busy within an hr there were no available tables. Staff is friendly and quick. Some dishes are prepared fresh so FYI kebabs take 25 + min to be served while the shwarma only 5 ro 10 or so. We both had the same dish pass on the rice double the salad. I love their salad, today the shwarma was a little dry and the garlic sauce didn't help much. Baklava was sold out so no dessert.

It's been here for years and I've never really seen any cars in the lot, so I've always been a little confused how they're still in business. When I pulled up, the parking lot was partially blocked off, which already felt off. Walking in didn't make it any better--no music, no staff in sight, and no one greeted me. The whole place felt empty and uninviting, like it wasn't even open. I ended up just walking out. Not sure what's going on here, but it definitely didn't feel like a functioning restaurant.

Unfortunately the pizza was very dry. The salad was as well. I would have thought the salad would've had dressing on the side and I'm honestly not sure if it was dressed at all or if they forgot to include it with my order. The price point is on the high end, and, as I always do w any service. I included a tip for my entire order. Sadly, I was not even offered any water while I waited. I'm visiting from out of state to view some properties in the Queen Creek area, so I wanted to indulge in local eats w great reviews. Think this one missed the mark for me.

Tried again on a Wednesday. We were able to place order immediately. It's worth it! Green Corner- It's Tucked away in a strip mall in Chandler, this Mediterranean restaurant is all it's hyped up to be. Customer service was excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The dining area was clean and well maintained, with spotless tables and restrooms, which always makes a great first impression. We ordered two chicken shawarma plates: one with fries and hummus, and the other with salad and rice. Everything was seasoned perfectly. The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, the fries were crisp and well-spiced, and the hummus was smooth and delicious. We also tried the C1 combo Arabic style, which came with half chicken, half beef, and two sides. Both proteins were excellent, and the garlic sauce was a standout--we absolutely loved it. We couldn't help but notice many other customers enjoying salads, all of which looked fresh and generously topped with crisp vegetables. Portion sizes across the board were very good, leaving us satisfied with some to go. Overall, the food was excellent, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back and can't wait to try more from the menu.

Everything looked soooo appetizing on the menu and since I was going to meal prep this week, the Al Sham Chicken Combo caught my eye. For $15, you get little cute pieces of chicken shawarma with 2 dips! I was in love with the red sauce and wish the garlic sauce was more garlic-y but it was good either way! The kofta was great as well but would definitely come back more for their shawarmas but it's definitely the best bang for your buck I also got some baba ganoush on the side to dip my fries in but unfortunately, I thought the baba ganoush was too lemony/there was too much sumac added so it wasn't as enjoyable. Most baba ganoush I've tasted in my hometown also had a smokey flavor to it from the eggplant so it really couldn't compare.

If you haven't tried Shatera yet, you're missing out! This new Middle Eastern restaurant is an absolute gem!!!! Everything from the food to the atmosphere makes you want to come back for more. The meat dishes were cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and full of authentic flavor. The salad was fresh and vibrant, the perfect complement to the rich and savory meat. Their house sauce was incredibly tasty, adding just the right kick to every bite. And the highlight? The basboosa dessert -- soft, sweet, and perfectly moist. It was honestly one of the best I've ever had! I took another to go and could not wait to eat it the next day! If you're looking for a place that serves delicious food made with care and passion, Shatera is the spot. Bring your friends and family, you'll leave happy and full! I can not wait to go back for more. read more

I tried the gyro plate at Shatera and it instantly became one of my favorite meals. The meat was tender, well seasoned, and cooked perfectly no dryness at all. The portions were legit generous, and everything on the plate tasted fresh, from the warm pita to the crisp veggies. The tzatziki was super flavorful and tied the whole dish together. You can tell they put effort into the quality. Service was fast, the staff were friendly, and the food came out hot. If you're craving something flavorful, filling, and worth the money, the gyro plate at Shatera is definitely the move. Highly recommend. read more

Shatera Restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is amazing every bite feels like comfort and quality combined. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, truly making you feel at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. I'm in love with the kabab sandwich perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor. The cheese and meat boats are also out of this world! And the chicken shawarma sandwich? That's another story entirely so juicy, flavorful, and unforgettable. It's a must-try! Highly recommended! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Shatera Restaurant! I ordered the falafel pocket, and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly spiced and served with fresh veggies and flavorful sauce. You can really taste the love and authenticity in every bite! What made the visit even more special was meeting the owner and her family. They were so sweet and welcoming, and you could feel the warm, family-run vibe of the place. It's the kind of spot that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend! 10/10! I will definitely be coming back again! read more

The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. If you're looking for real Middle Eastern flavor in Gilbert, Shatera is a must try. I'll definitely be coming back! read more
