    #17 gyro meat
    Denny T.

    I started working in the area and decided to hit up this food court for lunch. Pretty cool place, they have places that sell salads, poke, Thai food, seafood, burgers, and a Mexican fusion place. I decided to try this place as it looked a little lighter and healthier than the other options. I got the #17 gyro meat pita wrap. It was decent, the meat and the pita were tasty, but the cucumber sauce was pretty bland. I wish they also had some more fresh veggies on there instead of just the few pieces of tomato. Came with either salad or spicy potatoes. I got the potatoes, nothing too special about them. Pretty big menu, lots of stuff to order and the portion size and price aren't too bad. They had a huge order from a nearby business, but my order still came out pretty quickly. It was a good meal, i might come back and try some of the other stuff on the menu.

    This is my go to place to grab a quick lunch. Infact i sometimes walk to the place from work. This is probably the first place where i am impressed with the team that serves along with the food. The lady on the counter is beyond awesome no matter how busy they are she is quick and smiling all the time. This review is for her more than the food. I always get the greek salad and its always exactly the same fresh and crispy.

    If you ever City of Commerce and a fan of Middle Eastern, you must try this place. Gyro and chicken kabob top shelf level at a fair price. And excellent rice to anchor the meal.

    Not sure what happened here but the quality is down the drain here. This used to be our go to place for work lunches. This is their kaftan plate combo. As you can see the meat is still raw! Texture is horrible almost like stretchy sausage with tendons bits on it, hard as a rock. Burnt on top raw in the middle. Hummus is from a can, rice is dry. It used to be good years ago. Gotta be careful not making other people sick as it made me that day

    This is the chicken kabob plate, these potatoes are so tasty and their green sauce yummy...they have other kabob plates that are so deliciou

    The Food, is so good I highly recommend and the customer service is awesome I like this place for lunch.

    I got this salad that was pretty much sauteed mixed vegetables (zucchini, tomatoes, corn, onions) on top of a lettuce, topped with feta cheese and chicken kabob. Portion was HUGE. I was very happy because I was feeding my body a lot of vegetables. Chicken was tasty and tender. Idk why people don't give this place more than 3 stars!

    Having been a massive fan of the Green Olive location on Vermont for years now, I was thrilled to find one 4 minutes away from my worksite in Commerece. When I arrived, I was a little concerned when I discovered that it was just a tiny counter in a food-court, but gave it a try anyhow. I ordered a kebab plate and noticed the food was bland and nowhere near as flavorful as the Vermont location. I came back a week later to give it another try, this time ordering a wrap and their ever-so famous spicy potatoes. Was super disappointed when I got the potatoes: they were soggy, mushy and discolored. Not even remotely close to the flavors, texture of the other Green Olive locations. Tasted like it was reheated from a batch made days before. I definitely won't be back to this location.

    I love Lebanese, Israeli, and Armenian cuisine, so seeing it elevated in a modern fine-dining way…read morewas a lot of fun. The duck hummus, shawarma neck, and tuna kibbeh were all standout dishes. Why overpay at places like Raffi's Place, where the food feels overpriced without showing where the extra money went? Here, you can actually see the quality, creativity, and presentation that justify the price, and the packed dining room proves it. The only downside was that the waitress pushed an appetizer on us twice when we really didn't need it. Two entrées are more than enough to fill you up. Also, because the restaurant stays so busy, don't expect much small talk with the staff. It's very efficient and businesslike, but your food arrives quickly and on time.

Our server pushed for us to order another app/entree even after I told them that we were happy with the amount we ordered. Afterwards, when it was time to pay the bill they "accidentally" added a $315 bottle of wine on our bill which we did not order. This definitely impacted our overall experience negatively.

The restaurant has a really homey feeling inside, with about four small tables that make it feel cozy and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable. My partner and I ordered the chicken shish kebabs with mejadra rice, salad, and sumac fries. Everything was delicious! The plate also came with hummus and pita, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hummus was smooth, rich, and perfect with the warm pita. Hermon helped recommend our food, cooked it, and even served us. She was so kind and made the whole experience feel really personal. She also offered us complimentary baklava, which was amazing. It had the most soft, chewy texture with just enough sweetness. When I asked her what the secret ingredient was, she just smiled and said she couldn't spoil it so you'll have to try it for yourself! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

The rice had an odd taste, more on the bland side? However the pita was very hefty and pita pocket ready. The hummus was good with a few yellow chilies (super spicy). The schnitzel was hefty and huge portions almost like 5 pieces of chicken. With the portion size it's a decent price for it. Highly recommend trying out this new taste.
