    Shawarma Press fries

    The tall slim older man with the dark hair, food not fill the bag up with fries. He did not wash his hands after digging in the garbage and proceeded to help us. Just grabbed the fries and put them in the fryer by shaking the fry bag. He was very rude, no hi hello nothing but he's back there eating fries himself and fixing himself food while we're watching him along with 2 other customers. I will NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO NOBODY AND I WILL BE POSTING IT ON MY GOOGLE REVIEWS AS WELL SINCE I HAVE MANY GOOGLE REVIEWS. This was absolutely disgusting and I threw my fries both bags in the garbage cause no way was I going to eat them.

    The Authentic Beef Shawarma Wrap 11"
    Ivan J.

    This was our choice after debate for our tv date night. Everything, I mean everything was delicious! It showed up warm, which is always a plus! The misses never had shawarma, and she loved it! It was all perfectly cooked and spiced! I'm Rating the food only. It's a 5. Even through door dash it was affordable for us. We had the shawarma melt, beef shawarma, tex-mex chicken press, and the Mediterranean side Salad. The only gripe I have is the prices for extra sauces and the size of the melt was small. But that's it. The fries that came with one of our meals were also good! I'm not going through go through every dish, it was all excellent. I will add this. We got the small tatziki, and this was the best TATZIKI we have ever had. It was different. It was "stringy". Not the way we have usually have it. I can see some being thrown off with the texture, but give it a shot! Trust me. Better yet our hack is to mix chili sauce in our tatziki! We do it everywhere! Great place highly recommend, especially if you have family or friends that want to try different foods, this is delicious and not too far off or crazy for them to dip their toes into other cultures!

    FIRST TIME VISIT! This location is inside the Walmart on Potranco. Welp, I'll give them credit where it is due... the service was very nice. I walked up and was perusing the menu as a worker approached me from behind the counter. I let him know it was my first visit so he walked me through the menu items and process of choosing an entree with protein and side. He was so informative! Contrary to food items on display on both the posters on the walls and all over the paper tray liner, the menu was very limited. In addition, the food is not fresh or tasty. I am obsessed with garlic sauce and theirs tastes simply as garlic flavored mayonnaise. The meat was dried out and rice was flavorless. I also became quite ill after eating here. Bummer because I LOVE Mediterranean cuisine and I LOVE giving great reviews, but I simply could not today. I would love to see this place improve.

    Disgusting
    Alvin H.

    This place is terrible. I should have known when I called up there no one answered the phone. But I took a chance and ordered two shawarma (one chicken and one beef) and fries and a kids quesadilla with fries and a lemonade. It really tasted old and very nasty. Do better for your customers. Do better for your community. Do better for yourselves!!!!

    Spicy Tandoori Press w/ fries
    Angie B.

    This was my first time here and the young man at the counter was very helpful. My mom had the Tex-Mex wrap, it was flavorful and the veggies crispy just the was she liked it. I ordered the Tandoori press which was just the right amount of spicy! The fries were delicious too! Over all this was a great first experience and I will definitely come back to try more of the menu!

They recently received a Bib Gourmand from Michelin for good quality and value. Frankly I think they deserve a star, but that's just me. Ladino is located at The Pearl and making a reservation through Open Table is a must! They book up days in advance, so I encourage you to reserve a table ahead of time. They specialize in small tapas style plates, so if you are coming with a group you can order a couple of items to share. They also have a few excellent main dishes, but my favorite is the steak. From the smaller plates I think I've tried almost everything and there hasn't been one I didn't love. However the hummus is a must and the feta cheese is always a winner when I bring new people to Ladino. The staff here is outstanding! The level of service they offer is unbelievable. They truly make sure you have an outstanding experience during your visit, and that level of service is hard to find. Whether you are looking to try a new place or celebrate an anniversary, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Ladino.

I love middle eastern food! It is nice San Antonio is blessed to have a very nice selection of middle eastern restaurants right here throughout the medical community and medical dr. I had always wanted to try Kahramana, this was the perfect time. The building is built on a hillside, you will find the grill on the backside which is the second level, parking is right there in front of the entrance. I was greeted right away. The menu was so interesting, all my favorites, like Shawarma. Fun fact, for all of you El Pastor lovers out there, you can thank middle eastern food for the dish. After settling in Mexico, people tried Shawarma and ended up replacing the lamb with pork and we all ended up with El Pastor. I ordered the Gyros plate. It came with a green salad, rice, peta bread and a very generous portion of Gyros meat. As I was enjoying my late lunch, the owner came by with a complimentary glass of black tea. You know what goes great with black tea, an order of Baklava! Oh my lunch was so good. I think next time I will have one of their chicken kabobs plates. Bottom line, this is a good place to enjoy your favorites. If you have never had middle eastern food, this is a good place to give it a try.

At lunch the place was practically empty so I had a lot of time to chat with the get working there who was very helpful. He even gave me a free hot tea after I checked out, which I think they must do for everyone, but I appreciated it. Only minor con is that they had pretty limited selection of soft drinks available. No fountain drinks, only a very limited selection of bottled/canned drinks including Mexican coke.

I loved the meze platter since there was a sampling of 5 of their different appetizers. Everything on the platter tasted very fresh and was delicious.

We tried the babganoush appetizer, which is an eggplant dip, served with pita. I wish the pita had more of a crisp or toastiness to them. It was very bready, but still went great with the dip. The eggplant doesn't look appetizing to most, but I love its flavor and it was seasoned nicely with some acidity/brightness to it. For our entrees, we had the falafel plate and a gyro wrap. My gyro wrap was a good serving size, and I opted for no fries/side salad since we had the appetizer. It was a traditional gyro, but I wish there were lettuce and tomato in it to cut the saltiness. I ate the leftover babaganoush with it for balance. The falafel plate was great! It came with 6 large falafels that were very crisp! Everything else in the bowl complimented it nicely. The menu has a lot of other options we'd love to try! We wish we ordered a tea or chai pot to go with our meal, or tried one of their specialty coffee. Next time!
