Chicken Shawarma: juicy, flavorful, and the spices aren't overwhelming. Served with rice, fries, or a salad. I got it with rice and potato gravy. Dolma (stuffed grape leaves): tender, flavorful, and stuffed full. Very authentic. You can get them with or without meat. Baba Ganoush: creamy, smoky, and perfect for the homemade pitas! Falafel: perfectly crunchy outside, a bit more textured inside from the chickpeas than I've had before but I appreciated that. Overall, I'm very happy with everything we tried and will definitely go back for more! The owner is the owner of Pizza Roma in Somerville.

We were greeted walking in and our server brought us menus and took our drink requests. On the side of a strip center, this unassuming little eatery has some great mediterranean food. Modest furnishings and decor with an open center kitchen. We started with their Hummus and Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) both were very good. The hummus was so fresh and tasty, and excellent choice. The Dolmas also a solid choice, a nice serving of half a dozen stuffed grape leaves. Each done traditionally and both had great flavor, texture and quality. Then we added the Falafel appetizer, another great choice. Four falafels on top of a bed of their rich hummus with olive oil and paprika. The falafels were very good and well seasoned. The hummus exactly as before, and excellently prepared. For my entree, I went for the Chicken Shawarma plate, an excellent meal with marinated chicken breast chopped and mixed with grilled pepper and onions. Along with an order of their house made assorted pickles. The Shawarma was very good. A nice serving of spiced grilled chicken with grilled veggies over rice with pitas and dipping sauces. We enjoyed a leisurely meal here with very good food, the owners are so gracious and made us feel welcomed and at home. 4.5 Stars recommended and definitely worth a visit - rounded up for the gracious kind hosts 01308

We ordered a chicken shawarma gyro with a side of roasted vegetablesThe Gyro (beef-lamb) with Mediterranean fries. My husband enjoyed The Gyro and would get it again. My chicken shawarma was just meh because it lacked any real seasoning/spice. The ingredients are quality but the flavor was not there for me. I enjoyed the roasted veggies which were interestingly well seasoned. Service was friendly and prompt. The ambience is college town vibes (7 tvs each blaringly loud). Decor was nice with plenty of windows with natural light, wood tables and comfortable chairs (no arms on any of them) and bar stools. 1 star deduction for lack of flavor in sandwich 1 star deduction for WAY too loud TVs (excessive) exacerbated by Kitchen sounds

Maaan, I really wanted to love it here but sadly I had very mixed feelings about my food. There's…read moredefinitely a lot of potential, though! I wish I could give 3.5 stars. This seems to be a fairly new restaurant in Guntersville. I came for a solo lunch after work in the area a few weeks ago. The restaurant is on the smaller side but the inside is absolutely lovely and not at all what you'd expect from the location. The decor is really very beautiful and looks expensive -- modern and chic! Everything was spotless, including the women's restroom. Service was also fantastic! Unfortunately I'm a few weeks removed from my visit as I've been too busy to write super prompt reviews, but whoever my waitress was, she was such a sweetheart. She took great care of me, anticipating my needs and offering up useful information about the menu and items served. An owner or manager type also came by and spoke to me briefly, quite polite and genuine. On to the food... A complementary sampler type platter was brought out to start. It consisted of some bread, feta, olive oil, and an herb/spice blend (to dip the bread in before dipping in olive oil), along with one other small item that I don't remember -- think it was something pickled or similar. The items on the platter were on par with what you'd hope for, but the bread was unfortunately not warm and quite hard. I didn't eat much of it. I got the hibiscus specialty drink to sip on and that was actually quite lovely. Pretty color, not too sweet, very slightly tart. I was surprised to get a free refill on a drink like that one, but I certainly appreciated it! For my entree, I ordered the shawarma supreme wrap with a side of Brazos fries. This was probably the major letdown of the experience. So, I picked this item because it was on the cheaper side. Lots of the other entrees look good but were quite pricy for lunch. Therefore, I chose a smaller option. The menu said it came with marinated chicken and a garlic sauce, so I scratched my head when my waitress asked if I'd like my onions grilled on the wrap. I didn't know onions came on the wrap. I figured we were probably talking small slivers or cubes of onions, so I agreed. However, when I took a bite of my wrap, I found quite large pieces of onions -- maybe an inch or two in length and diameter both. This really hampered the experience for me because I don't like large pieces of onions at all, and it was impossible to eat even a bite without encountering a hunk of onion. I pulled them out or ate around them. It's a shame, cause the chicken and wrap and garlic sauce were all very flavorful. I agree with other reviewers that the menu is very flowery but doesn't accurately convey what to expect from the dishes. Still, flavor potential! Just gotta clear up what I'm actually ordering. The dish came with a few pickled peppers and vegetables to enhance the flavor, which I enjoyed. The fries were...not good. I should've stuck to a more traditional side dish like rice as I think that's where they excel. They had the consistency and shape of frozen fries. They were jazzed up by some sort of seasoning mixture on top, but unfortunately I really didn't like the flavor. The owner/manager caught me sniffing the fries (lol) and came over to assure me they were cooked fresh and all the way. I wasn't worried about either of those things; I just wanted to figure out what the spices were! It honestly reminded me of Old Bay seasoning but I doubt that's right. I wound up dunking my fries in the garlic sauce and tzatziki sauce to drown out the flavor. Last, I couldn't help but order some rice pudding for dessert. I love desserts from this cuisine so I had to! It was probably my favorite thing that I ate -- nice and creamy, lots of delicious chopped nuts and golden raisins. Good stuff! Would definitely order again but would also love to try the baklava. I guess I'm being extra critical just because I see the vision for something extra special! I'd love to return to try some of the larger, more expensive dishes, hopefully with my husband so we can share. I love this type of food and would love to have more of it in the area so I really hope they succeed! I'll be back to try again, but I'll make sure to double check what's in or on my meal before ordering next time.
