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!

Neshma T.

The food was delicious and portion was good enough to share for 2 people. We tried kebab pocket and other dishes as well. The sauces- garlic, hot sauce and Shatera special really work well with the dishes. I love the . The service was timely, we got our food within 15 mins of our order. The restaurant was cozy and clean.

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!

Emmy B.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Food took over 20 minutes...ordered 2 pockets and fries. For $13, you get a small pita filled with veggies and very small amount of meat. After 2 bites, it became a veggie pocket. Normal fries is the same price as their feta fries. For $5, you get the same amount as other places' small fries but at double the price. They had an industrial fan blasting at full speed in the dining area... read more

Place looks good, not busy but "clean" and organized, friendly employees but... food was a NO for me, I ordered a chicken pocket and beef pocket, it looked delicious until I took a bite, if you are particular with flavors (seasoning) then you might wasting your money or you might enjoy it so much, sadly both chicken and beef pockets tasted straight up like cinnamon rolls, I don't who is a big fan of beef/chicken cinnamon rolls but I think not many people... anyways I hope they can let you know in advance in the future about this type of flavors/seasonings or customers would not come back anymore... read more

We just ate at Shatera on Recker Road and it was a wonderful experience! I got the chicken shawerma pocket which was absolutely stuffed with saucy, tender chicken and fresh pickes and onions and lettuce. The pita was soft but had a nice chew that held together even under the pressure of the abundant filling. My hubby had the gyro pocket, again stuffed with delicious and perfectly spiced beef/lamb meat and veggies. He loved his too! We rounded out with a side of curly feta fries that were perfectly crisp and salted. After our meal, we were full but Had to try the Basboosi for dessert, a gently sweeted cake type of square filled with a light, cheesecake-type filling. Not like anything we had ever tried before and quite delicious! Everything here was extremely fresh and the whole place spotlessly clean. We were told the recipes were from the family/mother who has her roots in Jordan. A wonderful place we will return to again. Cant wait to try the falafel next time! read more

Phoenicia Pita Kitchen

I'm going to get straight to the point: This is the best Lebanese (or even Near/Middle Eastern)…read morefood I've had for probably fifteen years...and I eat this cuisine at every opportunity! Visiting, from California, some dear friends in Mesa, we ventured through the triple-digit heat for about 20 minutes to get there. Even they as locals had never heard of the place, hidden amidst miles of chain stores and strip malls. But it wasn't long before we were all singing its praises and vowing to return. Across the board, every dish was peak: ultra-creamy and subtly garlicky hummus; silken, appropriately smoky baba ghannouj; perfectly crisp, tender, not-doughy-inside falafel; and herby tabbouli, light (but not vanishingly so) on the bulgur in the Levantine style. These basics always make or break such a restaurant, and they were all outstanding. Add to this seldom-seen delights like foul medamas (fava-bean soup), four variants of ghallabah (grilled meats or seafood), chack-chouka/shakshuka (eggs poached in tomatoes and onions), and two types of pita baked on premises and served from the oven--all in generous portions and at reasonable prices--and it's worth the drive wherever you are in Phoenix and environs. I would eat here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I lived here. I will absolutely return on my next visit.

The waitress never gave us or offered us any refills on drinks. She was gone most of the night. There's an upcharge for fresh bread and so I said yeah, we'll do it. She said she'd bring out the pee-packaged pita bread and the fresh bread that we paid extra for. Then she never brought out the pee-packaged stuff like she said she was going to. The bread was ok, but they only gave us 3 pieces of pita bread which were about the size of a sand dollar. This was not enough bread for 2 people with 3 dips. Also, the fries were the kind of fries you get when it looks like they haven't cleaned the grease in a while. The babaganoush was really good. But everything else was pretty mediocre. I've been here 3 or 4 times and everytime I feel as though the service is bad and the food is overpriced. It's really sad, but I want to like this place, but I can't. Also, they have a rewards program but my waitress didn't try to get me to sign up. I asked when I saw it. It's a pet peeve of mine. But- I guess she doesn't really care or offer it because she probably doesn't think people will come back. My friend who joined me tonight is Muslim and she needed a place to pray, but this place didn't have one. I was surprised to learn that tonight as well. Spend your money elsewhere.

The decor is super modern, and I love the logo and how it includes a bike for the two "o" in the name. :) My group and I got the Kahi & Kemer and the Arabic Way set meal. The Arabic Way provided a lot of "dips" that you can use for your bread. I wasn't blown away by the dips to be honest, and the sausage/egg dish was good, although I felt like something I could easily make at home. I would have preferred to eat the shakshuka instead, and would try that next time. The Kahi & Kemer? I would order 100000 of these. I LOVED IT. It's basically a super soft bread that you dip in syrup and clotted cream. SO GOOD. It was basically a sugary breakfast, but really hit the spot. Next time, I'd order this dish again with a shakshuka and maybe one more item. Overall, I would definitely come back and give them another shot, if not for a meal then to just get my sweet treat indulgence in.

The Vegetarian plate was also generous and was enjoyed by my friend. It included three crispy falafel, hummus, tabouleh salad, baba ghannoug, 2 stuffed grape leaves and tahini sauce with pita bread.

I'd classify them as a casual lunch restaurant, although they are open for dinner as well. The menu is pretty small, which is okay; it consists of salad/bowl options, pizzas, and sandwiches. I've had a couple of their salads and while the ingredients were fresh, they were lacking flavor. The chopped salad needed more dressing, and in adding shrimp (for an extra $9), I was surprised to see only 3 pieces. The farrow bowl was a bit better with additional ingredients. Maybe their pizzas and sandwiches are more filling / fulfilling. Overall though, I'm not sure when and if we'll be back given the many other restaurant options that have come up around the same area.

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.

There is a very small amount of indoor seating--one long high top table, and a counter along one window. There is plenty of patio seating in the front porch area, and a large covered are with picnic tables and large mister fans. Its very cozy, surrounded by greenery. The menu is made up of barbecue plates with meat sold by the pound, platters for larger groups, tacos, burritos, and various sides. Energy time I have been here I've ordered the brisket burrito--it's simply too delicious for me not to get. To be fair, everyone seems to think the other items on the menu are just as good, but I just love the brisket burrito so much that I don't want to even try anything else.

It was about 5:30 PM on a Wednesday and the place was Poppin! The bar was completely full and it was loud!. We did not have a reservation and the only open seating was at the bar or high tops in the bar area. We were quickly greeted and our server was incredibly on top of it! I noticed that the main menu had a line at the bottom that stated a gluten-free menu would be available upon request. I did ask to see this menu as gluten-free is my dietary preference, not an allergyand I was brought a complementary gluten-free bun instead of the pretzel bread. I thanked our server and told him not to worry that it was just a preference and he told me that he treats all gluten friendly requests as an allergy. I really appreciated the care and concern he had for my health and well-being. This is unprecedented at most restaurants. They had a very extensive gluten-free menu and I can't wait to go back and try so many more items. We did try the Leonard burger and made quite a few modification requests - all of which were 100% accommodated. This burger was so incredibly juicy! My entire hand was dripping by the time I got done eating it. Everything else we tried was delicious. I have no complaints or suggestions for improvement and will definitely be returning soon!

At Joe's Farm Grill, the quality of ingredients does show in every single dish you get. Another thing to mention is, when you're done ordering your food at the register, they are pretty fast regardless of how packed the place is which pleasantly surprised me! For the onion rings, I liked them for a few reasons. Starting off, the onions weren't soggy by any means which I love in a good ring, batter wasn't the majority of the ring which is also a great sign, and lastly the crunch was very nice with them coming out fresh. The Fontina burger has a great beef patty that carries its flavor by how clean it tastes alongside the mushrooms that are the other biggest taste factor for this burger. Finally, the baby back ribs were the star for me personally because you can actually taste the pork for its quality. I usually expect a super sweet sauce that bogs me down after with ribs, but these ones left me feeling able to still go on about my day which I love. They aren't shake off the bone tender but I liked the gentle chew they provide. Overall, I recommend Joe's to anyone who cares more about the ingredient sourcing and quality while enjoying a nice family friendly vibe for a lunch/dinner. They have a great outdoor patio seating for times when it's not over 100 degrees.

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
