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

This place has high quality food and great service. We love coming here. The basmati lamb is wonderful.

The food here was good, but it didn't blow me away. I appreciate what they are trying to do here and I'm sure some people love it. For me there are much better options in the area for middle eastern food. read more

Favorite Mediterranean food in the valley! Their cauliflower appetizer is our favorite, and their gyro's are delicious!

When I order a gyro, I'm looking for that perfectly seasoned juicy meat sliced off the broiler and served on warm pita with tzatziki. The gyro here uses a slightly different seasoning that I'm used to but the lamb has a nice crisp char. Their Lemonaize sauce isn't what I was expecting but it was great - I'm always happy to try new things. Pita was lovely and came with a side of some great hummus and pita chips. The restaurant was about 1/3 full a few hours after lunch time when we came by but the lovely outdoor patio was completely open. Definitely worth the trip and I look forward to trying additional items off the menu. read more

Delicious Mediterranean food. Dine in if you can. Love all the chicken kabobs and hummus and baba. Everything is fresh!! read more

Gyro was insanely good and I like that they have options other than fries for the side. Went back the next day it was so good.

Always a wonderful experience. The owners are fantastic, hospitable, and generous. The place is spotless, & the food is phenomenal. Short & sweet for a perfect experience - always. read more

Delicious! Best gyro I've ever had. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free options taste just as great! read more

I'm not sure what happened operationally, but it's quite evident there is new ownership or management because the food tastes different and customer service lacks. We used to patronize True Blue on a weekly basis however, that quickly changed. After our last couple of visits. we noticed Sam was missing. When asked about new ownership, our server replied "no" and stated that Sam had been on vacation. For those who may not know, Sam and his wife operated the restaurant. They both ran it like a well-oiled machine. The food was always fresh, full of flavor, and piping hot with temperature. Their customer service was second-to-none and they always made patrons feel welcomed. This evening, we decided to order from True Blue. A young lady answered the phone. We ordered a chicken gyro platter, lamb gyro platter, and cauliflower appetizer. Upon picking up, I battled several diners trying to pay for their meals at the register. Wouldn't you think a better method of payment would be the server personally taking their checks for payment instead of clogging up the front counter with unnecessary foot traffic? Once it was my turn, I advised of the pickup and waited nearby. A few minutes later, I observed a woman bring two styrofoam containers and place on countertop. There were two young ladies at the register. One making coffee and the other taking phone orders. After a couple of minutes, I received my order and left. Upon returning home, I noticed our order was incorrect. We received a lamb gyro platter containing basmati rice, salad, and pita chips and chicken gyro combo with just pita chips. The chicken gyro was supposed to be a platter too. Also, they forgot to include the cauliflower appetizer. The food tasted mediocre and basmati rice was less than room temperature. It pains me to write this review, especially since I'm a huge proponent of supporting local businesses. We would constantly rant and rave about how delicious True Blue was to others. Now we're skeptical. Hoping the new owners or management will read this review and correct the issues. Your loyal patrons deserve honesty too! read more

very nice staff. Food is so good. Small inside but lots to look at in decor.

The owner was so friendly and helpful when it came to menu recommendations! She was super sweet and made me feel so welcomed. All the food and desserts are freshly made and very authentic. Highly recommend! read more

Truly the best place on the PLANET for Mediterranean food. Quaint, not so comfy chairs ( sorry) but I don't go for the chairs... the FOOD!!! Are you kidding ME? The gyros are fabulous!!! The hummus! The cucumber salad!!! Omg. I'm a non- meat eater, so the buffalo shrimp gyros are absolutely to DIE FOR. Service is excellent, it's a small place with amazing taste. As I'm writing this- they are closed for the virus. I miss them so much!!! I wish they had curb pickup. I'm dying here!!!! read more

The quality of the food and the friendliness of the servers never waver at this place. If I had one complaint it would be that I wish it was larger so I could get a bigger party in there. True Blue rocks! read more

We were truly surprised by this little place in Emmaus on our way back home from Dorney Park. We love Mediterranean food, especially Syrian, but somehow I was disappointed. Every plate and dish we ordered was ladened with oil except the salad. I was dead set on ordering a salad because I'm eating lighter so I also ordered chicken. I did not know that ordering chicken required for me to know there were several choices. I received a shredded chicken of sorts that tasted like a Chinese stir fry. It was greasy and consisted of Chicken thigh meat. I expected grilled chicken like I've received at other Mediterranean restaurants. When I talked to the owner, she told me that they do offer two different chicken and that I could have gotten the grilled but she thought I would like the shredded. Really? Without asking me? It was my fault for not questioning it from the beginning. She offered to make me a new plate on our way out but we needed to head out. The salad was doused in tahini sauce as was the fried cauliflower. I'm just turned off by the pool of oil that it had when it arrived. On another note the beef gyro was tasty and was popular with hubby and my toddlers. The rice that we on the plates was also oily. You get my gist. It's just a different Mediterranean restaurant. read more

This is good food! It's fresh and authentic. The service is great and very personal. Can't wait to go back!

Best Mediterranean food in the Lehigh valley. Super friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

True Blue has amazing hummus and baba ghanoush. My husband and I can literally make a meal of that with pita. It's fresh, flavorful and absolutely out of this world. read more

Located in a strip mall in Emmaus you might miss it But it is definitely worth stopping in. So far I have tried the chicken gyro , lamb gyro and the chicken kabob dinner and it was all very good read more

Food is phenomenal everyyyy single time. Their service is always really good and they have a nice staff. My boyfriend and I love it here.

Great gyros. Love the fresh pita chips. Baklava is also delicious. They also have other options.

My husband and I order from True Blue all the time! The Buffalo chicken gyro is my go-to and we occasionally splurge for baklava. The food is pretty tasty with generous portions. Missing a star because the orders could be more consistent. read more

Their cauliflower wrap is outstanding. I find myself suggesting it to first-timers more than any other dish. It's the first and only place I've ever had falafel and loved it. They recently added steak gyros to their menus and it has become a new love of mine. On a different note, I love their coffee here. read more

The food was fantastic and the people were very friendly! I recommend the chicken gyro and the buffalo chicken gyro wrap. ! read more

Love love love this place. The food is amazing each time! My go to is the chicken basmati

At first is was very skeptical about the 5 star rating but decided to try it anyway after actually reading the reviews. It was as delicious as advertised!!!! Lamb kabobs are to die for along with pita and babaganoush and chicken kabob and kids lamb kabob that my son likes. I think the best compliment any place can have is when an 8 year old remarks: "It's delicious here!" Don't expect haut cuisine but it is absolutely deliciously comfortable place to come have an excellent meal. read more

This is a great little place, the staff is friendly and the food is delicious! It's byob, the first time we did we finished eating and had half the bottle left. The waitress was excellent, she never pressured us to pay and leave. We finished the bottle had a great time. We will definitely be back again. read more

Our son's baseball game finished early and we were hungry! Not being from Emmaus I turned to Yelp for some suggestions. I saw "Mediterranean" and cast my vote to try this restaurant. Very glad the rest of the family agreed. The food was flavorful, the staff was delightful and the restaurant itself was clean and comfortable. My husband and son went for the lamb gyro and lamb kebob. Tabbouleh, babaganouj and kibbe were my and my daughter's preference. Cooked to perfection and deliciously seasoned the food was on our table within minutes! To top it all off baklava, chai tea latte and Turkish coffee. YUM! We'll definitely be back here before baseball season ends. read more

Get the basmati lamb! It's delicious and exceeded expectations! The hummus was decent and the pita chips were good!

Love the food here. It never disappoints. Lamb basmati is excellent. They are also very conscientious about GF and other allergies

My wife and I have had the privileged to eat in countries throughout the Mediterranean region. We're not experts but eating here at True Blue brought back all the memories of our travels. The humus is light and fluffy but flavorful and fresh. It doesn't wack you on the head with Garlic or pungent flavor like some do. The in house Pita chips were a very good paring. The Lamb Kabob was not quite as good as I've had it in Istanbul, Turkey- but it was close. My next Lamb Gyro hankerings will bring me back to True Blue. My wife enjoyed the Baba Ganoush Gyro which had surprisingly bold flavors for being a veggie only Gyro. The basmati side and Mediterranean salad sides were authentic and decent. I would say the only thing I didn't love was the falafel, which, was actually good... but not great. It was a bit dense and heavy for my preference but the flavors seemed to be right on. Overall I would not hesitate to suggest True Blue as an authentic Mediterranean eatery and don't forget to enjoy the nice side patio on a good weather day! read more

I am new to Mediterranean food and this place has won me over! I love the Chicken Gyro, chips and hummus! The rest of my family, who are more familiar with Mediterranean cuisine are big are fans of the food, too. They love the lamb gyros, grape leaves, and walnut baklava! read more

Gyros - real meat, not the shaved loaf. Hummus came with pita chips and pita bread. The tabouleh was bright. All very good! Great service. Will be back to try more. read more

The food is delicious, as expected. This is a tiny little gem in a strip mall. The patio on the side is great for outdoor dining, protected by a high fence. A simple snack like hummus and pita chips goes to a whole new level. Personal favorite for me is the steak salad...rarely eat steak, but it's wonderful here. Lamb is also delicious. As you would expect, vegetarian choices are plentiful and wonderful. Cauliflower main dishes are excellent. Be warned that, during non-Covid times, this restaurant is deceptively small. It is extremely popular and take out is constant. So the kitchen may be very busy. Still, food arrives hot and without a long wait. I advise dropping by to pick up a menu for takeout; the one on the website is hard to read. read more

I'm giving True Blue 5 stars because of a recent catering experience. I've eaten here many times. Small inside (outdoor patio in warmer months) but great authentic food. I needed a restaurant for my daughter's last-minute outdoor bridal shower and we both thought of True immediately. "Zee" was very helpful, kind, and accommodating. We came up with a menu for the number of guests and he even delivered to my house. The food was on time, hot and delicious! The Baklava at the end was a hit with everyone. Will definitely go back!! read more

Love it there. Nice that you can bring your own drinks. Heard the good news that they are opening in Emmaus.

Food always seems to be super fresh. Love the lunch, make it a meal it really makes a difference and the sides that then come with gyro are so good. Only noticed that option after having maybe three times. Very reliable. read more

The best Mediterranean in the Lehigh Valley. Nothing beats the cauliflower. I moved to nyc and I come here whenever I visit family

Best Mediterranean food around. Tiny place so takeout is our go-to but eating in is great also. Food is always fresh and consistent. Their lemonaize house sauce is divine. read more

Great food! Nice family run place. If you like good Mediterranean food you have to stop in
