We got the cauliflower and cheese pie as starters. Both were delicious but the cheese pie really stood out. We ordered and I got a salad with lamb and my friend got a gyro with feta. When it was brought out I was given a plain gyro. So I gave it to him thinking it was his. But it didn't have feta. So his was brought out and the server was like "that's yours and that's why I placed it in front of you." I thought that was a little rude. But I was like whatever if hey messed up my order I'll eat it. A gyro is basically my salad on bread. Then someone else came out and gave me my salad. So they just let us keep the extra gyro. That was cool. I feel bad because I could hear the staff arguing about the incorrect gyro and it wasn't a big deal. I felt like they thought we caused it. After the server was very nice. So I think maybe they were just frustrated by the situation. You can buy buckets of their sauce to go!!! Food is excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. I'd love to try the outside seating too. read more

I order True Blue for lunch a lot, often via Grubhub and every single goddamn time it slaps! By far best gyro around and amazing sides. 10/10 Tell all your friends read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years & it's a great example of authentic Mediterranean food. Prices are average & the staff is really friendly. No complaints at all. I'm so glad this spot has lasted the test of time. Tabouli is my favorite! The hummus is really good, too. I typically order the Lamb Basmati which is about 6oz of nugget sized lamb piece's served over Basmati Rice with lemon, parsley over top. I definitely recommend True Blue Mediterranean Restaurant! read more

True Blue - Yuuuuuuummmmmm - A square white plate contains tabbouleh salad made with chopped parsley, tomatoes, and bulgur wheat. A lemon wedge is placed on the side of the plate. The plate is on a red and black checkered table, with a plastic water bottle and a spoon visible in the background. The setting appears to be a casual dining environment, possibly a Mediterranean restaurant. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emmaus, Pennsylvania

The Baba ganoush and the stuffed grape leaves were fantastic. These are my favorite dishes. The service was awesome. Abby was so helpful and cheerful. I will be coming here quite a bit. read more

Really great food and service. I order takeout and when I go inside everyone is very friendly. We usually order a mix of food, gyros and platters everything is delicious. My personal favorite is the cauliflower, the sauce is amazing. read more

Highly Disappointed. I ordered (2) chicken Kabobs, as well as fish & fries (I know everyone is going to read this and say, "why order fish & fries at a Mediterranean restaurant?" That's a story for another day, anyways... the order costed me $36 which I gladly paid hoping and praying that I was going to get my moneys worth. I waited 15 minutes and they came with my food. I got to the car, looked at my food and wanted to cry. I got 2 small pieces of fish that was burned and a container of grilled chicken. (See pictures) Last I checked, kabobs we're on a stick... right?! I sat there wondering... what was worth $36? Nothing! All I could do was sit there and eat my food with my hands because I was not even given napkins or a fork. I gave them 2 Stars because they were nice and their dipping sauce was really good read more

Don't come to True Blue to take-in the ambience: it is a sort of "home style Egyptian Kitch". That is, lots of brass and ceramic figurines accompanied by by Mediterranean pop music! No, better to visit for the delicious food and impeccable service! From the lemony fresh fatoush to the pungent Buffalo Shrimp Gyros and familiar Baklava True Blue Mediterranean can't be beat! Jo Bob says, " Check it out!" read more

Still one of my absolute fav places in the valley. The service is top notch; always so friendly and never get your order wrong even when it's packed. The hummus so so smooth and creamy. I love the chips they serve with it. I always get the Greek salad and he gets the hummus gyro (I told you the hummus is amazing!). The flavors are spot on and it's always a ton of food. And I have to get some birds nests or baklava to take home. read more

Adjacent is a white square plate with fried items arranged around a fried egg with a runny yolk, garnished with red pepper slices. Two soda cans, one red and one blue, are on the table, along with a fork, napkin, and a small container holding utensils and condiments.

Absolutely hands down delicious food. Finally found my go to spot for Mediterranean cuisine. Everything we got from the fried cauliflower, combo dishes, hummus, and pita chips were sooo good. Service is also exceptional, very friendly staff. The food came at a good time too. What can I say, I will be back. read more

Thank you Abey for the great experience and customer service!!!! The chicken gyro and French always hit the spot. The lamb and shrimp dinner was excellent too. Nothing negative to say about this establishment. Thank you for serving the Lehigh Valley community. read more

This was a quaint little place. The food was authentic and fresh, and owner was kind and attentive. My wife ordered the lamb gyro and I ordered the lamb kebab entree. The gyro was hot and fresh while the lamb had a nice char and the flavor was outstanding. They did forget to make my wife's gyro Greek style, but the owner noticed before we said anything and he quickly apologized along with giving us complementary baklava. I sorely miss proper customer service like this. We definitely will by back when in the area. read more

Good food for good price. Enjoyed the lamb gyro at the farmers market in slatington. Highly recommend

That is one darn tasty gyro. They have their own twist on the classic Greek pita sandwich with their lemony sauce (definitely try it) and lamb that is just super tender. Moreover, their homemade pita chips and hummus are quite good. The service is prompt and personal. This is a small mom and pop shop so you can tell they care. It's authentic Mediterranean flavor and well worth every reasonably-priced penny. read more

Our first time ordering takeout and will not be our last. Some of the best mediterranean ive ever had. Homemade pita chips and hummus - amazing. Grape leaves were outstanding. Husband loved the cauliflower basmati and daughter loved the buffalo chicken hummus. read more

We ordered a take out and the order was missing one item. They admitted the error but asked us if we wanted to pick the item up....seriously, I just paid for takeout wit a tip and they expected me to be inconvenienced for their error. Very disappointing the way they handled this situation. Might have to go back to Sahara in Wescoesville in the future. read more

Excellent. Delicious, fast and friendly service. Cute spot. So glad to find this little gem.

Ate her yesterday with some friends before attending an event in the area. The service was good, and the food was very good. We especially liked the fresh hummus. I liked the lamb gyro, something I haven't been able to eat very often in the last couple years. Friends ordered a variety of appetizers for their meal, which they liked, except felt the ratios were off for their taste in the tabouleh. We all came home with dessert trays, which were a great idea. read more

My gf turned me onto this place. I love it. However I don't know what's going on. Last time I stopped in I asked for my shrimp gyro to be in a wrap instead of the bread because when I ate there they did that for me. But when I got home it was in the gyro bread. However the rice was amazing. Lots of lemonaise and I looked past it as a communication break down. However I stopped again today and asked for the shrimp gyro in a wrap. AGAIN I got the gyro bread. And this time I couldn't look past it because the rice was so minimal and absolutely no taste whatsoever. Looked like it should have taste but had none. Zero. Zip. Zilch. And it was hard which means over cooked. They weren't busy. There were only 2 tables being used and one appeared to be employees. So disappointing. I will try it one more time. Next time I will open and look at my order before leaving. I'm so sad how it's going downhill and not sure why. Fingers crossed next time they fulfill my order as I request. And it has flavor because this time it all sucked. read more

Small menu, but decent variety. BYOB. Small area of outdoor seating. I enjoyed it. Probably better for take out dinner or a fast lunch than a site down dinner spot. read more

Family run business with excellent service and food. I seem to end up going here almost every time I get my haircut.

Best middle eastern food in Emmaus, love takeout from here. Pita chips are the best. Always a pleasant experience.

Overly seasoned with odd flavors. Much better choices in the valley. We've tried this location and the one on slatington multiple times. Skip it. read more

Really good food here, I love the falafel and hummus and pita every time I go! My family has loved this place for years and I remember walking to True Blue from the highschool nearby during breaks on midterms! The owners are friendly and there's a dessert case inside with really nice baklava. The hot chai tea is my favorite and i love the foam on top:) read more

True Blue - Cauliflower Basmati, Hummus Dip, 4 Piece Falafel Patties - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emmaus, Pennsylvania

Normally very good food, but tonight they really missed the mark. Chicken kebab was rubbery and undercooked (very strange texture) rice was hard and dry and the dessert was very stale ( obviously sitting in the plastic container for quite some time). Not going back anytime soon. read more

My wife and I ate at True Blue. And the food was amazing! We love Mediterranean food. It was authentic and delicious. Highly recommend!

Best gyro I've ever had. The owner constantly tells you about the other two locations and she mentioned it to us 3 times while we were there. Also , I don't know if it's a notification sound for delivery's or something but there is a loud beeping noise every five minutes and it's soooooo annoying. Other than that everything we had was absolutely incredible, again best gyro I've ever had in my life. Cauliflower appetizer , amazing. Recommended all day just don't sit close to counter , unless you like ridiculously loud beeping. read more

This was our go to Mediterranean spot before and during the shutdown period. Haven't ordered anything since that time. Ordered this evening and food has shrunk and was charged more then what prices were on the menu. We ordered over the phone like we have for years. But was charged as if it was being delivered through door dash. Food was still good but not for the price per portion size. Currently looking for a new spot. read more

True Blue has ruined me for getting gyros anywhere else. Legit the best gyro I have ever eaten. The meat is seasoned perfectly, the pita is warm and soft, and their " lemonelle" sauce is to die for. Want to take your gyro to the next level'? Order it "Greek style" to add olives and fresh feta cheese! The cauliflower appetizer is delicious as is the smoky, savory Babbaganush. Honestly the best Mediterranean food around! read more

Our go to place for humus and baba gnoush. The cauliflower wrap is also a winner. Never disappointed.

We stopped there in the middle of the afternoon and were the only customers. The food was at least as good as the first time we stopped here---simple and delicious. My wife had a Greek salad and I had lamb kebabs with basmati rice and grilled vegetables, with Tasaki sauce which was fantastic. The lamb was marinated and very tender. I can't say enough good about this little gem----you have to go! read more

The hummus was not fresh! The salad was tired and did not look fresh. The rice basmati is really rice a roni. The shrimp was tasty and fresh. The place is overpriced! I can't believe people come back. read more

What an adorable place in a strip mall for dinner- interestingly placed right between a tattoo parlor and cigar shop. While dining here, there were so many people coming and going, I cannot say it is a hidden gem. For what is around, True Blue is the best! The menu is rather extensive, but it is mostly a cafe style menu. The entrees are mostly just meat with rice, hummus and a tomato-cucumber salad, with one veg option. They are open to the veg needs, and so you can ask for this lemon tahini vegan sauce on the food items. There is also salad with any protein and gyros. The appetizers are hummus, baba, tabouli and grape leaves, to name a few. If you need it vegan, just ask! The service is by the folks who own it, so in a busy evening, it was slow, but, very kind and attentive when around. There is indoor and outdoor seating, again in a very casual style. They have wifi and espresso drinks galore! The cauliflower was quite good, and covering a mammoth plate of lemon spiced rice. I enjoyed it, though it was a bit salty. However, if stuck around here, I wouldn't mind one bit dining at True Blue. Good good good for the food, portions and kind service. read more

I've been here twice now and have liked all the food I've eaten here so far. I am particularly pleased that their menu accommodates vegans. This always makes me feel particularly well served at a restaurant. The place is nice inside, if a bit loud (lots of hard surfaces, blender, music, fans in the summertime, etc). Overall, aesthetically, I like it. It's kind of stylish in a coffee shop sort of style. I prefer some other places with similar cuisines due to my personal preferences. I'm loathe to make any criticism of this place, though, as a consequence of my preferences. I really did like the food, I just wouldn't consider their preparations to be my favorite. I'd happily come back when I need to eat out while in the area, so this is not a complaint. read more

I recently catered from True Blue for a party and the food was simply amazing! Our guests were loving it and talking all about it. Thank you True Blue for the delicious food and great service always. read more

The shrimp gyro is LIFE!!!!! The falafel appetizer is wonderful. (Comes with 4, incase you want to share) The homemade Pita chips & hummus are delicious. This place is really cute inside with a lovely outdoor seating area. I am currently reading my book out here, perfect place to grab a great bite, cup of coffee and chill. Enjoy! read more

The good: The woman who was the cashier and server was lovely and gracious. It looked immaculate. She was extremely fast helping customers. The yuck: I got the lamb gyro but I didn't recognize the sauce other than knowing it wasn't tzatziki sauce. The woman told me it was mayo based and just suggested getting on the side, thank goodness, or I would've tossed the entire gyro if it was in it. I really, really disliked the sauce (and threw it all out). But the lamb was real and not processed and it was delicious. Without the tzatziki, it was all dry and the tomatoes were flavorless. They did serve a hummus-like sauce also and I used it but very little and I can't say I actually liked it; I tolerated it briefly. The grape leaves were six in a serving and also lacked the tzatziki, so I spit out what I ate in the garbage. It was very dry and seemed oddly greasy (?) I'm not sure but I didn't like it. I went to Whole Foods after and bought tzatziki but I'll eat it with something else because I finished the gyro and it didn't help the grape leaves at all. It may be a matter of what one is used to and I've been going to Greek restaurants for decades in many states and they've unfortunately all been better than the food I got here. To each our own. I'm not going back because they're a small business and I hope folks like it better than I. They had a number of diners there, so they had an appeal and I'm glad. I wish I liked it. read more

Really awesome Syrian dishes, had lamb gyro and kibbeh, had baklava for dessert. Al of it was excellent, great flavor, fresh and very tasty! Kind of hidden in the strip mall here but great spot to come in. read more

The place is adorable but unfortunately the food is just ok. I've never had a gyro with MAYO????? Gyros have Tzatziki sauce. It's not hard to make and really makes a gyro a gyro. Otherwise it's just a chicken sandwich. The babaganoosh had a burnt flavor. Like the eggplant was burnt and they hoped it wouldn't show if they made it anyway. Again, another really simple thing to make. Will not return. read more

Great service and quality food. Small inside but take out orders are generous and nicely packaged.
