Parking lot is open and easy, and I walked in and they had my food ready to go immediately! They asked if I needed utensils but I said no I was fine. We ordered a mix of wraps and sandwiches and I would recommend the sandwiches for sure, they're really filling! Particularly the chicken was great, flavorful! People who got the lamb seemed less excited about the meat. Also got some baklava which was also good. Will be back to try some of their other items!

The service is quick, and the location is nice inside with on-site parking…read more I felt as though this time around our quality of meat was a little worse. The kofte lacked seasoning, in the past I remember it being flavorful and juicy, but it lacked salt and was a bit dry and crumbly. The chicken shish kebab was very well marinated and most pieces were cooked perfectly, melted in your mouth! However, there were a couple pieces that I can best describe as rubbery and tough. It looked cooked inside, but it could not easily be cut with a knife or bit into, and it made a weird "rubbery" sound as I bit into it. I think this is not a cooking issue, but rather maybe the quality of the chicken breast? The pieces that were good were really good. The mixed cold appetizers were good, a nice size to share with 2-3 people, and the warm bread and butter is always a delight. I'm not sure if today was just a fluke due to the meat batch or if the cooking style has genuinely changed (it's been quite a few years since my last visit). Perhaps the Adana kebab would have been better as it is a ground meat. Our waitress was friendly, and we thought the portion sizes were good

Staff is as friendly as always and food-made with pride and attention and you taste it in every bite! We started off with the mixed cold appetizers which consisted of hummus, babagannoush, haydari (yogurt mixed with dill, garlic, walnuts and oil), patlican (cold salad of cubed egg, peppers, garlic and an incredible tasty tomato sauce), antep ezme (cold salad of tomatoes, hot peppers and bell peppers, parsley, garlic, walnuts), havuc tarator (carrot salad dip)-all delicious! And their bread, moist yet crispy but so good! Main courses consisted of Chicken Shish, marinated chicken grilled as kabobs served with 2 types of rice-husband LOVED it and this type of food is really not his jam but he was in heaven. I had the yogurtlu kebab with lamb adana-fabulous! So much food in both platters that we had leftovers for another meal and so healthy but yet so decadent! Dessert consisted of their rice pudding which is a homerun and revani which worked together fabulously as it took some sweetness away from the revani. Cannot wait to go back-everything on their menu looks delicious and would love to go with a great big party so that everything can be tried and devoured. If you are in the neighborhood, try them-you will not be disappointed and this food travels exceptionally well so great option for take out!

This place is a very solid 3/5. Not a 4. Not a 2. But it's a 3…read more Let me start by saying WOW Kebab was closed for some odd reason today. They're always open. Weird. But this is what finally led me to try Bereket. I live within walking distance and it's always piqued my interest, but I never wanted to be disloyal to WOW, so I'd never actually tried it. Well, WOW wasn't open, so today was the day. I ordered what I would normally get from WOW: the shawarma platter. I thought I ordered chicken, but I guess I hit the wrong thing and ended up with lamb. I like lamb, so I'm not deducting any points for that. My bad. First off, the portion is massive. Definitely bigger than WOW's, with the actual pieces of meat being much larger and more substantial. My big gripe with that, though, is that the huge pieces make it kind of difficult to mix everything together without food falling everywhere. You basically have to lift the meat up, dig down to the rice underneath, move some rice onto another plate, then put the meat back on top to make the whole thing manageable. Quite a tedious process. I'd probably layer everything differently so it's easier to actually eat. The rice was probably the weakest part. There was WAY too much of it, it was overcooked and pretty bland, and you basically get a ginormous mountain. It was split between plain white rice and some sort of brown/spicy-ish orange-reddish rice. Whatever the second one was, I definitely liked it more than the white rice. My biggest complaint isn't even the rice, though. For a platter this big, you HAVE to give more sauce. One tiny little cup of tzatziki just isn't going to cut it with that much food. I'd put some directly on top of the platter and still give a bigger portion on the side. The salad, not gonna lie, was a bit pathetic. It felt like it was just kind of thrown together and didn't add much to the dish. I was hoping it would provide a nice veggie/fresh element to balance out the giant pile of meat and rice, but it really didn't. I was also going to say the dish could use some heat, but WOW (not the other restaurant), that pepper is SPICY. It's good when eaten with bites of everything else, but still... I could've used some red sauce or hot sauce drizzled over the whole thing. Finally, I was a little disappointed that the platter came with pita instead of lavash. WOW feels more Turkish to me, whereas this felt more Greek, especially with the massive gyro-style pieces of meat and pita bread. Overall, I'm not mad at it. It was tasty, the portion is enormous, and there were definitely things I liked. But with Bereket being more expensive than WOW, I'm not sure I'd get this platter again. For the higher price, there were just too many little things that didn't quite live up to par. Solid 3/5.

We got the mixed cold appetizers which tasted really good with their bread. The mixed grill was very good, their lamb is one of the best we've had. I hope they consider adding iskender to their menu in the future. Unfortunately we didn't experience the best service when we were there. They didn't give us menus so we looked it up on our phones, and we had to flag the staff down to take our order after almost 15min. We asked for water refills and yogurt sauce but received neither and no one came to check on us. We didn't want to wait longer so we opted to skip dessert.

The two times I've been in, they've brought out samples of thier menu items to try. I've ordered various things on the menu: hummus, lebneh, falafel wraps, falafel platters, baked kibbe platters, the green bean side, etc. All have been amongst the best Lebanese food I've tried. I want to expand and try more things, like the chicken and beef kafta. If you have questions just ask. Certain platters come with different items. Some rice, some salad, etc. Thier pita is fresh and delicious, and comes in different sizes. They have a decent sized dining area for dine-in, and the take-out area is right as you walk in the side door. Here you will also find a grocery area with Lebanese essentials. The selection is sizable, and offers items you won't find in a regular grocery store. I stocked up on spices, and coffee. Prices are reasonable, and portions are generous. I will return every opportunity I get.

Found this place while searching for what I was craving last weekend, Greek food. Immediately…read morewalking toward the establishment, the excitement grew. Walking in felt great, the ambiance gave homey vibes in the best way possible, it felt like I was about to get some great eats. The gentleman at the counter recommended I get the combo since he saw me eyeing the butternut-squash & apple soup that they had on special. Anywhere I see soups, it's a wrap. You are able sub out for fries or salad if you'd like that instead of the soup, plus you get a drink. I decided to go with the soup special & chose the chicken souvlaki. Flavors were there, chicken was tender, & in my opinion the simplicity was top tier on this. The butternut-squash & apple soup, was DELICIOUS. I would've taken a whole tub home. The Kefta lamb burger tasted delicious, not dry at all. Their feta fries were also a great addition to the combo. I can't wait to be back another time, to try more of their menu items. I get why this is a favorite for many.

Last night we ate inside, and there were flies everywhere around our food. It was disgusting. One landed in a small container of dip. My friend handed it to the waiter who took it out then gave it back. We were swatting flies from around our faces the whole time. They landed on food. We were so disgusted, we couldn't eat. Had we not been there with someone we didnt know well, I'd have just said let's go and not paid. Instead, I didn't eat and didn't pay. Nauseating. The other bad experience: last time we ate inside there was a hair in my food. Not a human hair. I can't even write this. I sent the food back and didn't order anything else. Afterward, I sort of convinced myself it was from my own cat. But after last night...I cannot even imagine what the kitchen looks like and the larvae in there. Just avoid.
