I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant given all the highly positive reviews. To…read morebe clear - this is for the restaurant, not the market. Service - 1 star. After being the only two sitting in the restaurant for 10 minutes, someone brought us menus. Another 10 later, they came back for our order. It was a tad frustrating because an item I wanted to order had a well-worn sticker blocking it out. Placed our food and drink order. Several minutes later, someone different came from the back and said one of the two items was also not available. So another item was chosen. Drinks were not delivered (tea and a water) until the food came 20 minutes later. And the water was a tiny 8-ounce bottle of water. 1.5 hours and we were the only diners. That says something. Food - Of what we could order, the chicken tikka was good but not amazing. 4 stars. The lamb kabob was amazingly bland and tough. So disappointing as I typically love lamb. 2 stars. The hummus was thin and tasted too sour with no flavor dimension to it. Was it old? Better hummus has a slight nutty flavor to it and this needed more garlic. 3 stars. Rice actually had decent flavor. 4 stars. We had both the pistachio and walnut baklava. As a baklava connoisseur, the walnut was far better flavor and texture but both seemed dry and old. Bread was okay. When I look at the number or reviews from those in CA or OR with less than 5 reviews on their account (all giving 5 stars) - it seems clear that people want free baklava or hot tea, as they advertise at the table when you sit down. But they need to read your review first before getting the token item. I have better ethics and higher standards than that. Maybe the restaurant section is on the slide. For a $20 entree, not worth it. There is better in Boise.

Alright, let's talk about why this isn't a full five stars- because when it comes to flavor, Mazzah…read moreMediterranean Grill is easily one of the best Mediterranean spots in Boise, hands down. A friend of mine practically lives here- every other day, like clockwork- and the last time I joined, he ordered a full mezze-style spread that felt straight out of the Mediterranean coast: impossibly creamy hummus, cool and garlicky tzatziki, perfectly seasoned kebabs, fresh veggies, warm pita... dish after dish, each one better than the last. This is a casual, no-frills kind of place- so don't come expecting anything overly polished or upscale. The missing star from others? It's purely about the ambiance. But the food? That's a full five. What really shines is the quality, the authenticity, and the consistency. Everything tastes fresh, vibrant, and nourishing- the kind of meal that feels both indulgent and genuinely good for you. Add in friendly, welcoming service, and it's easy to see why people keep coming back.

Stopped for a lunchtime salad. The Greek salad looked attractive. I am allergic to peppers and I…read moresaw the staff putting that on my order.

I got the #26 platter. A must try! The meat kebab were all tasty, juicy, and delicious. Rice was good. The falafel was exceptionally good! So soft yet crunchy outside. Right next door, they sell desserts and coffee! They have a large assortment of delicious Turkish treats. Must try as well. I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu!

The people who worked here were really kind and accommodating. It felt super authentic too with the music. We waited for a bit, which was fine with us. We enjoyed sitting on some of the lower ground seating. My shawarma was had a bit too much sauce for my taste, but was fine otherwise. If I was in the area, I'd be interested in trying different things from their menu.

We went together and I was excited the moment I stepped in the door..smelled just like my mother's kitchen! We shared the "family platter for 2" - the pillowy flatbread made me so happy, the shawarma, the falafel, the hummus.. EVERYTHING tasted like home and every bite was delicious and I savored it all The grocery selection is extensive and I picked up what I needed with a plan to go back soon.

No greeting and sort of seemed like they didnt want to be there. Not rude though. Food is delicious. Falafel were flavorful, crispy, but not dry. The hummus was almost smooth. The pita had a little stale texture. It's pretty pricy, but we'd come back if we were craving it. Oh yeah, the market is great too.

Swung by Kabob House for lunch one day when we were at the Boise Aquarium. I saw Afghan food with…read moregreat reviews so we figured we'd try it out! I had never had Afghan food before but it was delicious. It reminded me of a middle ground between Indian food and Greek food. There was kebab meat, skewer beef, skewer lamb, but we had it with butter chicken and a huge naan that took up almost half the table! The restaurant seemed to be authentically decorated. They served bottled beverages including the water which we didn't mind. The staff was very friendly. They were kind to my baby and brought a high chair for her. I also noticed they were very thorough on cleaning. I'd recommend this to anyone in Boise.

Enjoyed our dining experience…read more They have ample seating inside as well as patio seating in front. Friendly staff upon entry with a good selection of draft beer. Our server, Jacob was very helpful in selecting our items and flexible in how we could order to accommodate special requests. My bride went with the Souvlaki plate and had one chicken and one lamb skewer. She loved the chicken and said it melted in her mouth. I went with the Grouper special and enjoyed it - especially the squash and tomato sides. Both dinners included a soup or salad, and we ordered one of each and loved them both. Service from Jacob was outstanding!

Wow, this is truly a sad experience…read more Kostas called me back, and I apologized for the rating and explained what happened with the nice young woman I had spoken with. She was understanding and took my catering order about 5 minutes later. Then the owner called me, clearly upset about the rating. I tried to apologize again and explain what had happened, but unfortunately, he hung up on me. Before I could finish. I was honestly shocked and disappointed by the way the situation was handled. The post was gone by the time he called back and I corrected my mistake. Too bad it wasn't a mistake. Do better. I'm sure you won't talk that way to my husband.

I visited Idaho Falafel when it parked was in a lot near my house. The first time I tried to visit,…read morethey had closed early. The second time, I made sure to go earlier in the day. I was very excited to try the falafel in particular, which I had heard great reviews about. I ordered the Gyro Plate with a side of Falafel. Based on the photo menu, I expected the falafel to come with some kind of a dipping sauce. I also ordered a side of garlic sauce for my gyro meat. The owner Mohammed was very friendly and outgoing. I enjoyed speaking with him. There was another gentleman working with him, who was cooking in the back. Mohamed answered all of my questions. One of the things I wanted to know before I ordered was if they were using one of the popular brands of gyro meat such as Kronos, which and you can purchase just about anywhere. I was told they did not. I was impressed to see that this business serves Coke from Mexico. I commented on that to Mohammed, including that I haven't had real Coke since I was a teenager. He insisted on giving me one to drink while I wait. It was excellent! My food came out fairly quickly. I drove home and opened the box to discover that the cook forgot to give me any sauce for my falafel, nor was there any garlic sauce. I really enjoyed the gyro meat. The falafel was pretty good but needed a little more seasoning, as did the hummus. The small salad had good flavor. I did not care for the pita bread. It was very thin and seemed a bit dry. I've been postponing my review in hopes of being able to revisit this business and try some more of their food, but it's been a while since I've seen them around. I'm hoping they will see this review and let me know if they have a new location.
