The chicken was marinated well and was not too salty. The hummus went well with the pita. The rice complemented the chicken. Ask for the white sauce and red sauce but don't put too much red sauce because it gets salty as I found out. There was a lot of parking in the plaza on a Thursday evening around 7. It looks like a hole in the wall place. This is definitely a great place to meet up with friends, family, or even dates. There aren't many tables in there so make sure to come early before or after the dinner rush.

OOF, SO GOOD - Shoutout to the gal at my optometry place with all that great food recs - I normally…read moredon't get loaded fries or fries in general. TBH was reminded of my partner - got the Chicken Shawarama Fries. I asked the counter staff if they recommended the chicken or beef, they said chicken. Obviously everyone has a different palatte.

I got a full size as I opted this for an entree but honestly should of gotten the mini as I don't eat that many fries.. The gal at my optometry reccomended this place for those who like shawarmas.

I had a very unpleasant and unsanitary experience here which I want to share below…read more I ordered online and showed up to the store, asked for the food from them, and waited for my food for a while. When it was taking longer than expected, I walked back up to them and asked what the status of the order was and they told me that they accidentally gave away my order to a doordasher and that they called him and told him to bring it back so they could give it to me. I'm very disappointed in this practice for a few reasons - at no point did they let me know this transparently, and if I hadn't asked about it, I assume they would have just given me an order that some stranger already drove off with, which is unsanitary, not to mention that my food would be cold. It's also unreasonable to expect that a customer would accept food that someone else drove off with. On top of this, the food took way too long for obvious reasons. Instead of suggesting an appropriate alternative like them remaking the meal they expected me to take the food that passed through someone else's hands. I told them I need a refund because that's a disgusting suggestion. The food here is quite good so I'm very disappointed and reluctant to give this place a bad review, but it's inexcusable to do this in my opinion and doesn't speak well as to the other hygiene practices of this business.

The pita you could tell was very fresh, but a little smaller in size than what I have seen before * Chicken skewers - this came on a bed of rice with roasted tomatoes and zucchini. There was also a sauce drizzled on top which was nice. This dish I enjoyed the meat. I felt the rice was a little off though and the tomato was a little thicker than it should have been.

Came earlier this evening on Wednesday 2/5 and ordered two wraps. Not sure if the employee who…read moreprepared and rolled our wraps is brand new or was having a bad day but these wraps were not up to their recent standards. My last 4-5 visits - the wraps were made perfectly and this place has become back in my weekly rotation. Going to chalk this one up as a one off but wanted to provide feedback so this individual can get the necessary training. To summarize our wraps - there was a lack of meat. I ordered the chicken tenderloin and there must have been a total of 6 pieces in that entire wrap. I had to re-check my wrap after a few bites, it almost felt like I was eating a veggie wrap. The few pieces of meat that was put in there was all on the very right side of the wrap. They normally wrap it properly where each bite is consistent. My wife's wrap had the same issues as well. Going to continue to come here but if this is going to be new standard, going to have to opt out.

1st time here. A friend invited me to join her, and said it was where many of her co-workers ate…read more The short version is: my meal was very sub-par, and way over-priced. The details: I normally don't eat a lot of meat, so I chose the Falafel Salad. It came with extremely little lettuce, plus a few olives (which I don't eat), onions (which I also eat sparingly), tomatoes, cucumbers, and the falafel balls. Oh! And there was feta cheese, but those were such miniscule pieces, and so few, that I wouldn't have remembered it was supposed to be part of the salad, if I didn't just pull up a photo online with their ordering system. What you see in the photo online is not what you get. The photo actually looks like a salad. Since it was called a salad, I expected there to be more lettuce, than the few pieces on the plate. I mainly was cutting up the cucumber & tomato pieces to go with the falafels. I don't even recall any dressing. There were also some pita slices with what I assumed was hummus. Whatever the dip was, it did not taste good to me at all. So I left all of the pita bread, as well, since it was dry without anything on it. Maybe what I assumed was hummus was a dressing. Hard to know, but it was not tasty. For the $27 I paid at a walk up counter, I would have expected much better food! I have bought frozen falafels at Lunardis (around $7) and made a salad for them at home, and enjoyed it very much, which is why I ordered it. I have purchased Spanakopita at the store many times, (about $5 for around 12 of them at the store) and made them at home, which is why I didn't order that. The falafel salad was not an enjoyable meal for me at Yiassoo's. I'd also seen some reviews from a few years back that said they paid around $10 or $11 for their meal. That is more in-line price-wise with what you get, based upon my meal. With most of the meals around $20 for lunch, I feel they were very over-priced. I also asked my friend if she'd like to split a Baklava. They had a pistachio one & chocolate one. My friend wanted to try the chocolate one, so I bought that. I didn't think I was too into baklava, but thought it might be nice to try at this highly rated Greek restaurant. The main flavor that came through was the honey & nuts. The chocolate was just a tiny, narrow drizzle on top. I didn't hate it, but I would never order it again. My friend took one bite, and said she mainly tasted the honey, and would take it home for her husband. It may be very good baklava, but it was not to our tastes. My friend ordered the Gyro salad. It had a large pile of shaved meat, and she seemed to enjoy it. She ordered it To-Go, as she knew she'd be taking some of it home. She seemed to have more lettuce under her pile of meat than my meal got. Maybe because it was in a To-Go box, which might be larger than the plate? Or maybe the person making my salad just wasn't paying attention to how to make a decent meal. I was hoping I was trying a restaurant that I could go back to for something different. Based upon my experience, I would not go back, if I had a choice. I gave it 3 stars, because maybe other dishes, or people looking to just eat meat or falafel balls and not much else would enjoy it. I only have the 1 meal to review, but it does not encourage me to try it again. Overpriced & not a fulfilling meal.
