Stumbled across this spot while in town and actually searched for the nearest liquor store (dont judge)... Which led me to the huge... easy to get lost (which I did).. and accidentally happened to get hungry right in front of this Delicious meditation grill serving one of my favorite foods... Gyros.... Yes!!.. Fresh, and tasty to say the least.. nice seasoned fries that needed no ketchup.. My only selfish gripe is the meat to topping ratio was lacking on the meat. Other than that it was worth getting lost... Oh... I di finally find the liquor store after wondering through several departments! read more

Tikka Grill Jungle Jim's - Gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I was looking for some Mediterranean food close to me and found this place. I didn't think it was all that great or maybe I just came late in the day (5pm). I ordered Salad w/ extra lamb and chicken, lamb with rice combo & hummus w/ pita. The meat in both meals was dry including the rice. I will say though the ladies at the front were nice and welcoming. Customer service is always a plus. read more

Best Greek food around. Love the seasoning they put on the fries. Get a drink at the bar eat your lunch then walk around shop.

We come to Jungle Jim's every week with our kids (2 and 4 years old). We typically order pretzels and then get drinks from the Tikka Grill bc you cannot sit over in their section without being a paying customer. Today I sat down with both kids as they were eating pretzels waiting for my husband to come over with the drinks. One of the workers came up and asked if we were ordering food. I said no but that we are buying drinks - pointed to my husband in line. She informed us that we have to buy food, not just drinks, in order to stay sitting in their designated area. I'm a mom with two kids, trying to follow their rules of being a paying customer and yet they wouldn't budge...still told to move. There were no other areas to sit in the designated seating area provided by Jungle Jim's. Tikka's seating area had a fully open bar with just one worker eating at it and 2 of their 4 tables open. I had to take my kids and go stand in the corner and have them eat their pretzels on 30 racks of beer while the seats we had previously been in sat empty. This seems wild to me and a bit overkill. Where is the humanity? My two kids needed seats for 10 minutes and they were not busy at all. I could understand enforcing it if it was crowded or if I hadn't been a paying customer even. I plan to avoid this place moving forward and I hope Jungle Jim's sees this and does something to make their other seating vastly better. This place is 1/10 for me moving forward. Kindness is important and this place is really lacking. Do better Tikka. The world is hard enough, let your paying customers - mom and her two toddlers- eat in peace. read more

My wife and I were shopping yesterday at Jungle Jim's Eastgate and happened on Tikka Grill near the Beer and Wine section. We were hungry so we decided to give it a try. We both had lamb gyros. They were delicious. The fries were nicely seasoned as well. The service was a bit slow, so they offered us an order of baklava. We would eat here again. read more

This was the perfect spot to grab lunch after shopping at jungle Jim's! It's conveniently located near the beer and wine and not too far from checkout so you can keep your groceries while eating Ordered the falafel wrap and baba ghanoush. Both were delicious. Prices are a little high ~$10 for a wrap and $4.50 for a small portion of baba ghanoush. Their hot sauce is tasty, not too spicy though. Tzaziki was refreshing ! read more

My wife and I needed something to munch on while we were enjoying the beer samples, and this was extremely convenient. We thought the chicken Shawarma pizza was absolutely delicious and delivered relatively quickly! As we are just passing through, not sure if we'll ever be back; however , now we know how good the chicken Shawarma flatbread is! read more

Got lamb gyros and chicken shawarma, really good and at a great price. Freshly made with quality ingredients in generous portions. Lots more on the menu to try so, I will definitely be back for more. read more

It was delicious. It's in the way back of jungle Jim's and it's pretty quick to get your food. If you've had Sebastian's in price hill this is a good second and 30 minutes closer to me. I'll be back for another gyro and some Greek fries!!!!!! read more

Had a lamb pita - best I've had since moving from Chicago area. The lamb was nicely seasoned and the fries were tasty.

The Tikka Grill is tucked inside the huge store, Jungle Jim's. Had fun looking through the store and worked up an appetite. So my wife & I decided to eat here. It's been a long time since we had a gyros. We had ours minus the lettuce. They were delicious! read more

With such great reviews, I am always hoping for more from TikkaGrill, especially with where the restaurant is located. I love that there are small businesses to eat at within Jungle Jim's. Unfortunately, my experiences have not lived up to the hype. Meat seems to be placed on top of the Sandwiches. Sandwiches look like they have more meat than they truly do. My meat has been dry. I like the freshness of the vegetables. Their natural flavors shine through. Bread gets soggy towards the middle to end of consuming the sandwich. Service is fine. Not overly friendly, yet not rude. Proficient for a quick service establishment. Limited seating is available at their counter. There is also seating by the beer tasting area of Jungle Jim's. That is where I prefer to sit. read more

Awesome great food authentic middle eastern food , the falafel & hummus is out of this world

I loved Tikka Grill's stand-alone shop when I lived in West Chester, and now that I've moved to Eastgate I love this outpost in Jungle Jim's just as much. TG is conventionally located next to the bar, so grab a beer and a gyro and have yourself an awesome lunch or dinner before browsing the aisles and stuffing your cart to the brim. Remember, it's important not to shop on an empty stomach! One quick tip for the quarantine times: You cannot eat at the counter in the store right now, but they ARE open for take out! read more

Mimicking Heather's opinion of Reigning Gyro Champ! I've had a heck of a fine trying to find a good gyro in Cincy but the wait is over. I'm already ready for round two. Surprisingly, a little after opening, there was a decent amount of people in line/already waiting for their order. I forget that Jungle Jim's is actually a cool hangout spot with shopping, drinking and eating. Quickest way to get there is through the back "alcohol" parking lot; this will save you a labyrinth of walking. They have a bar of 10ish stools you can sit at to eat and is pretty clean. I simply ordered a lamb gyro with no tomato. Came out in 10 minutes and I must admit I thought there was a little too much lettuce, I'd consider asking that to be light next time. Other than that, zero complaints. The pita was warmed and thick, tzatziki sauce was very light! They were not skimpy on the sauce thank God! As for the lamb itself, YUM. Recently had some horrible lab elsewhere but man, this one was sooooo good. Overall a solid gyro that I plan to eat again and again. I'd love an addition of cucumbers to the menu so I will be hopeful! Regardless, don't pass Tikka up! read more

Ok Tikka, you are my current reigning Gyro champion of Cincy! I had been wanting to try this spot every time I come to Jungle Jims, but had never had the chance! Recently on a Friday, during pint night, I ventured over to get some take out! I was instantly waited on, despite how busy the area was. I got the lamb gyro and added feta. I also ordered the Greek fries. They were ready in under 7 mins, again, despite how busy it was! The gyro was impressive, and I wasn't expecting that! I am half Greek and always looking for the best, as there isnt much Authetic Greek food in Cincy. It was full of tender lamb (most likely combined with a little beef which is standard). The tzatziki sauce was perfect and just the right amount. The tomato, lettuce and onion were fresh. The pita was fluffy and slightly toasted. The Feta was creamy and a welcome addition. My fries were crispy and had a great seasoning on them. The feta and legit kalamata olives were perfect. I could have done without the vinegar heavy dressing on them, which added a bit of sogginess and was too tangy for my liking. Take out or eat at the bar tables nearby with a pint! I am already craving another Gyro here!!! read more

ate there yesterday. 2 lamb gyros. great food. only issue was a food worker was eating with his fingers and setting up for sandwiches without washing his hand. kid was chubby, black hat and tshirt. read more

Not bad, been a few times. Food is good. You can even have a beer from the jungle bar right next to it.

Had a chicken gyro there with my daughter last night. It was like a strips of , seasoned meat mixture, most likely prepared from a paste? I know this is a method of preparing gyro meat but was a bit disappointed by the rubbery texture. On a more positive note the tzatziki sauce and fries were amazing! read more

Would recommend this place to anyone. Great food. Great shopping as well. God the greek fries and a gyro read more

Tikka Grill Jungle Jim's - Gyro and Greek Fries. Very good! - Mediterranean Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My wife and I were looking for a cheaper restaurant to go to so we could maintain our eating-out budget, and this place seemed like it would be fairly inexpensive. We're frequenters of Jungle Jim's, so we knew our way around. I ordered a steak and provolone pita wrap, my wife got a falafel wrap, and we split an appetizer of the baba ganoush. For everything, our bill was $17, which was exciting. We got our food probably ten minutes later, and everyone was very polite. We both got a good amount of food for the price. I ate my whole wrap and some of the baba ganoush with pita and I was filled. My wife ate about half her wrap and was full. We both enjoyed the food pretty well, though my wife's falafel was slightly burnt, which was our main complaint. I always enjoy baba ganoush, but am never blown away by it. And it wasn't life-changing here, but it was very tasty. Had a lot more flavor than what I usually have. Overall, the food was good and probably a 3 or 3.5, but price is always a big factor for me. Two of us got a good meal for $17, which could have been $14 if we forwent the appetizer. Definitely worth checking out if you're on a budget. read more

Simply aweful!! Gyro meat all dried out and served cold. Also had a Philly cheesesteak...SMALLEST cheesesteak I have ever received! Meat on it as well was all dried out. Stay away from this place! read more

I really wanted to like Tikka Grill. The food was pretty good but the service almost ruined it for me. After I looked at the menu through Yelp, I had decided to try the falafel plate. When I got to the restaurant, which is located inside Jungle Jim's (not with the other restaurants when you first walk in, but on the other side of the store in the alcohol section), the menu was different. The only options on the small printed menus were gyros, wraps, pitas. I asked about other options based off what I had seen online and was not offered any explanations or options. I was told I couldn't just order falafel, either, it had to be in a wrap or pita. She said she had no idea what I meant when I asked questions and did not seem to care either way. I ordered a falafel wrap with baba ganoush separately. I specified tahini dressing on the wrap and it definitely had tzatsiki instead. The actual falafel itself and pita bread were good but I don't think I would go back since it's an inconvenient location, there's limited bar-type seating only, and the staff make you feel like you are wasting their time being there anyway. I think if Tikka Grill added more options to the menu and a little customer service training for their staff, this might be a nice spot to stop in for lunch or take out. read more

Great food but service is slow and the food is pricey for what you get. But I believe they would do better if they were up front near the entrance not in the middle of the store. read more

The veggies could be more interesting, but the food is generally good. The pastries are great.

Today is my second time here and I tried the grape leaves and falafel. Both were delicious. I asked if the I made the grape leaves, and I was told they did. They did not disappoint. The falafel was good, too. My husband had the spicy chicken shawarma pita (comes spicy or regular), and it was great. He really liked it! Last time here I had the chicken Gyro and it was fantastic!! read more

I think these guys keep a great deal for the price of flavor of a lamb euro just pops and they're nice people they are expeditious and their service in the ingredients are fresh wholesome and flavorful read more

I went here with a friends, ordered the chicken Shwarma and she had a beef shawarma. The service was pretty quick, but the sandwiches were pretty bland. The chicken had no distinct flavor, the vegetables were pretty sparse, there was way too little sauce. The pita bread was very dry, crumbly, and overall disappointing. I heard really good things about this place, including from a friend that works here. I was really disappointed, there is absolutely no reason to go and eat here unless you are trapped in jungle gyms and it absolutely must have something approaching a gyro. otherwise there are much better options in Anderson Township, or even just going to get a Philly cheesesteak and buying some Taziki's sauce from jungle Jim's read more

It's okay. I guess maybe I shouldn't have expected much from a restaurant that's in a grocery store. That being said, Red Sesame that used to be in the front of Jungle Jim's is so good! I really enjoy Mediterranean food, as does my husband, but both of us felt like we left feeling let down. It's not that the food was bad, it just was only okay. There wasn't a lot of flavor in the food we had. I would certainly eat it again. That being said, Tikka Grill is relatively inexpensive. We paid under $20 for our meals and even had an appetizer. We also had really quick service. My reason for 3 stars is just that the food is only okay. I can appreciate inexpensive food, but I wanted the food to be better. However, I would come back and eat here again. They do have some pretty decent reviews, so maybe it was just an off night. read more

These prices seem really good and the quality is definitely the best. I would recommend this grill for anyone wanting hot grilled good food. You can't go wrong with jungle Jim's. I like to give it five stars because it's just about everything you could want for the money. They are open until 7 PM so they are not open until 10 PM like the rest of the grocery store. read more

Best Chicken Shawarma in all of Cincinnati! If you're not local, it's worth the drive to get this amazing food inside the Jungle Jim's. We have been coming here for over three years and they are consistently top notch. I can't believe I had never reviewed them in all this time. read more

I got the Greek fries and they were awesome! I love how they were loaded with feta. I gave the low rating because the man working there was unfriendly. He did not acknowledge me standing in front of him for a few minutes, he was busy looking at either a table or a phone. He finally looked at me, still not saying anything and I just ordered, only thing he said was for here or to go and gave me my total. He also didn't speak to any other customers as well, terrible customer service skills. read more

I have been a long time customer of Tikka Grill and was thrilled to hear they were going to open a second location closer to me over in Eastgate. The first location is renound in the West Chester and Cincinnati areas for providing flavorful food alongside genuine and excellent service. This location is no different. Even better, because of its location I can enjoy my meal with a $3 glass of craft beer from the bar in Jungle Jims which is only 10 feet away from the front counter. Astonishing food, amazing service, at a reasonable price read more

We went to have some drinks at the bar and saw this Tikka Grill just opened about 3 weeks ago so we decided to check it out. We had ordered some gyro fries. The gyro meat was very very good and the cheese and the sauce was yummy too. We also got 3 boxes of Baklava to take home. They have so many kinds like pistachios, cashews, walnuts and coconut. They are absolutely amazing. Probably one of the best Baklava I've ever had. The service was very nice and attentive. Everyone was very friendly there. We will be back for sure. read more

I have always had quite friendly and helpful service here and I love their gyros. Always fresh fluffy pita with generous meat and thick tasty sauce. They have the counter seats but also the regular tables by the JJ's bar area to use when I have the family. Once I realized I could enter at the back of Jungle Jim's at the liquor store checkout entrance it became a very convenient place to stop in for lunch. read more

Great food at fair prices. Inside Jungle Jim's. Come in through back so you can find it easier.

It is fast food, with a language barrier. It was a little spicy, but quick. Go in and get something quick. But don't make a special trip just for it. read more
