We can't get through a visit without ordering the Tandoori Chicken Tikka. It comes out on a sizzling, hot platter with vegetables that are just as tasty as the chicken itself. The rice is perfect, as is the butter sauce that comes with it. Perfect every time. The space is always clean and cozy. We're booth lovers, but even when we've had to sit at a table, it's been spacious and comfortable. From the moment you walk in the door, you feel welcomed and appreciated. Servers take the time to answer any questions you have without making you feel like a bother. Kindness abounds and seems to be a priority in this establishment and that's what keeps us coming back for more!

A fantastic dinner experience that lived up to the hype! For some time now we've heard that My…read moreGreek Taverna was an absolute must try for dinner, but we've struggled to make time to try it (to be fair, it's 20+ minutes away from us). Tonight we finally made the trek and goodness, it won't be our last. Despite arriving early (around 5:20) we still waited a solid 30+ minutes to be seated. No worries, the constant take-out traffic told us the wait would be worth it. Once seated, service was prompt and excellent - it's been some time since we had such consistent good service. The food was every bit as good as billed - we even had dessert, which my wife and I rarely do. Everything was specatular. Add to the fact that everything was affordable and it's understandable why this place has such stunning reviews. Highly recommended - we'll definitely be back and I've little doubt the wait will once again be worth it.

I can't wait to go back.

If you're looking fresh, delicious, and flavorful food then you must try this Syrian food truck!…read more I don't think there is much Syrian specific options in the area. They are a food truck located behind a Smoke Shop on 17-92 in Longwood. We ordered the Double Arabi Shawarma. They cooked the shawarma fresh for us and the garlic sauce was top tier! We also ordered the dessert, it was like a rice pudding topped with cooked kunafa and pistachios, i love dessert and loved this!!! They were so friendly with top service and the ambiance was great with a beautiful lake view. We definitely plan to go again to try the Toshka and another version of the dessert!

We ordered the toshka, which is lamb meat with cheese and it comes with a garlic sauce, pickles, tomatoes and a little coleslaw for $14. Another item we ordered was the sujuk for $13. Of the two I preferred this one, it felt more filling. It's bread pressed with pickles, tomatoes and the same minced lamb filling that's in the toshka. You can make the sujuk a meal for an extra $2.50, it will come with fries and a soda. Everything we had tasted good but I felt like the portions were kind of small. The meat was a very thin layer and we both left feeling hungry still. I also didn't like that there was no actual menu in person, we already looked it up online, so we knew what we wanted but the menu doesn't share much details of what a "make it a meal" includes. For what we ordered it seemed to take a considerably long time to make, around 20 minutes. Overall it was nice to try something different, but I was unimpressed with the portion size for the prices.

I finally drove by close to lunch time. Usually I pass The Cairo Express early in the morning or…read morelate at night. Parked and approached the truck and spoke to the pleasant lady in the food truck. Ordered Koshary with beef liver and a side of Baba Ganoush. Of course I had NO idea what Koshary was. Within 5 minutes I has hit with some amazing smells. It did take some time for the food to come out, which was not a problem. I was told to call in advance next time. I loved my lunch, can't wait to return to try a new dish from the menu. AFTER I ate my food (had leftovers for dinner), I found out that Koshari/Koshary is a typical street food of Egypt consisting of pasta, lentils, garbanzos, rice, etc. Support this wonderful local business! I will say that I added some hot sauce at home. I enjoy a kick in my food.

This place is great! Found them on Resy. Apparently it's been here many years but I never go to…read morethis part of town. We had a reservation but the place is fairly big so we didn't need it. For our appetizer order, I started to say we want the platter but she knew before I even said it. Haha. Must be a popular dish. I had seen it in reviews - looked like it comes with many items! We cut everything up so we could all get one bite of everything; a couple items had two or three whole pieces so we each got a few bites. The sauces are extra charge but definitely get them. The chutney is so good and whatever that spicy brown sauce is, is really good. I ordered for the table- shrimp korma, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, palak paneer, aloo Gobhi, lamb kadai, dal makhani, garlic naan, garlic cheese naan and paratha. It was a lot of food!! The dishes came with basmati rice. It was so much rice, our server didn't bring it all- instead she packed it up to go for us from the start. In the end, we finished nothing. We split the left overs- they brought us two containers for each curry so we didn't have to mix anything. And we got styrofoam containers for the breads and rice, and our to go rice as well. We shared the mango mousse cake- very nice, not too sweet, definitely mousse consistency. We sat and talked throughout the dinner. They had quite a few other tables so our server was running around. She kept apologizing to us but we were in no hurry. It was fine. We enjoyed our time. This place is good. We also like Mynt, Tamarind and Jala. I would say the prices here are better than Jala and on par with Tamarind. We do not like Tamara in Lake Mary - expensive and not that good. We would definitely come back here. Service is good, food is great, prices are reasonable and there's a lot of paneer and meats in the curries. A lot. A lot more than most places. And you can avoid the traffic and bad parking situation of winter park. I would recommend this place. Parking is plentiful. I did not use the restroom so I can't speak on that. They have some music playing which can be a little loud. Restaurant was clean. They were very responsive by phone when we typed the address in wrong and got lost. Oops. Haha. They do have a big sign that you can't miss. Go and enjoy!!

Trying a new place near the Altamonte Mall. Full service restaurant (with a full service bar) and…read moreno buffet. So I'm expecting higher quality food for sure! Inside, the place is really nice, almost formal. Dark dining room with nice tables and booths. Cool artwork and lamps. Service was very interesting. Our host, maybe owner(?) was super chatty. I prefer service to be get and get out promptly but she was recommending items, asking questions, and determining herself what we really wanted. Hey, maybe some people really like that to get a great experience. I found it a bit much but she was super nice. We got the veggies platter appetizer which was fantastic. The server really pushed the lamb samosas which were fine but I should have passed. And for entrees we got butter chicken, tikka masala veggies, and shrimp korma with garlic naan and a fantastic plate of basmati rice. The meal was great! The sauces/gravies were so delicious. And honestly, some of the best basmati around. Come for the food! Definitely recommend this place. And for Amex users, a great credit as well. Definitely worth it.

Just scooped and thrown into a pita with some lettuce,tomato, and hummus. The pasta salad wasn't bad however. Overall I think I could have gotten a little more for my money.

If you're looking for decent prices and not unhealthy food at student union. This is the place!…read more One of the food places that's still here after five years. I haven't tried out everything so I can't say what the other food tastes like. I had gyro wrap years ago and it was pretty good from what I remember. I got falafel wrap few weeks ago. The falafel wasn't bad. Good flavor. Not too crispy and not too soft. Seems like they might have microwaved it. If you eat the wrap with the falafel, it's not too dry. Enough flavor. Without it, it's dry and no flavor at all. You can taste a bit of the hummus but they put a thin layer of it. I would put mayo or the other sauces they have in your wrap. They have many different types of hot sauces. They have containers too to put sauces in. The pasta salad and fruit salad were pretty decent. When you want fruits, this is the place. Getting a combo is worth the price. There's hummus too! I noticed they have empanadas but there's no price tag on them. On the right side, they sell pretzels, and hot dogs. On left side, they sell cookies. They do do punch cards! It's kinda weird that they separate the cards for just regular item and combo items. Same amount of punches you need to get the free one. Why you can't you just put all together on one card?

Very nice lady. The food was delicious! The Magical Dining menu we came for had a good little mix of new cuisines and new food items for us to try. I love restaurants that participate in Magical Dining. It shows a real effort to be involved in the city's events and activities. Cons: No real cons. The meal came out too quickly. Like, the apps and entrees came out one right after another. We were rushed, basically, so we wary of that. Tips: It was really nice. I recommend you come here while Magical Dining is going on. Get the chaat, skip the lamb chops, and definitely get the tres leches.

I was in the area working and had to stick around for a bit, so I decided to go in for dinner. I…read moream on a low carb diet, so when I eat out, I usually order the meat with the vegetables and exclude the carbohydrates. I ordered the chicken tikka masala with no rice and extra peppers. The waiter gave me a strange judgemental look. I kindly explained I am on a diet and don't want the extra carbs. When the food arrived, he placed the bowl of rice in front of me then looked at me and said the rice is complementary. I bashfully explained to him that I am on a diet and he looked at me weird again. I didn't want to make a big deal about it so I just took the rice and ate some of it. The interaction left me feeling uneasy. I never asked him to reduce the price in exchange for excluding the rice. I did ask him for extra bell peppers, which they didn't do either. I am insulted that gave me strange looks when he took my order and when he served me the food. He assumed that the reason I didn't want the rice was because I couldn't afford it or was being frugal. I have never had this problem when I have eaten at Mexican, Thai, Chinese, or any other restaurants. It's very simple, I don't want the rice, so don't serve me the rice. If I was a vegetarian and asked for no meat in a dish, would they still serve it to me? Or what if I had a food allergy and asked for something to not be in my food, would they still serve it to me? I am a customer who placed a very specific and easy to adjust order. Technically, it would have been more profit for the restaurant. I didn't ask him to change the tikka masala recipe or to charge me less money. I was fine with paying full price and would have paid extra for the extra peppers. Rather than insult me, he should have just served me what I asked for. The chicken tikka masala was bland, not that spicy for medium, and was very sweet. I won't be returning to this restaurant again.
