Really great meal from my first time at J's. The location is a little hard to get into if you're…read morenot familiar. You have to make a really sharp right turn immediately after entering the parking lot and it's a one-way street so watch carefully while pulling in. The pictures make it look a lot bigger than it is. It's very small and informal on the inside, but room for a small handful of eat-in guests. Very cute interior and a nice case with desserts and some other stuff so you can make impulse purchases when you see how mouth-watering it all looks. They also had a cold case with some stuff to take home to cook. We ordered a berliner (beef), a gyro (beef), and a chicken panini. Online ordering was easy and they had a window for special instructions so I was able to make small customizations (no onion, etc.). Food was ready at pickup time and they handed my food in a reusable bag, so props for minimizing waste plastic. The berliner was my favorite. I loved the fresh "salad" filling and the spicy sauce, and it seemed less messy and easier to eat thank a gyro. Downside was that it was a little cold with all the salad, but the meat was still a little warm. The gyro was traditional and fantastic, and the meat they use is better than the industrial "gyro meat" from most places (not that I'm complaining about that, I love that too). Very messy with the tzatziki and feta, but still much warmer than the berliner. I ordered the chicken panini with no onion for a kid so I am sure I missed out on some flavor. It was good but I think it would be even better with the onion and with maybe one of their sauces on the side for dipping. It was great for the family member who wants a more "american" sandwich. Chicken was super flavorful and the cheese was really yummy, and it was even great cold the next day. All sandwiches came with bagged ridged potato chips, and I don't think I noticed any other options on the menu. They were good chips but just regular bagged chips. I would have loved to see a side of one of their salads as an option. I added a baklava to my order when I saw them in the case but I didn't get any because my kids ate it. They said it was great. I really liked J's and plan to go again. I would love to try some of the more unique menu option, but it will be hard to pass up that berliner.

As always, the food is simply delicious. What really pissed me off? Upon leaving, I asked for a container to take most of it home because it was too much to eat. The young woman served me a brown cardboard wax-coated box to dump everything in. She said, "Will this do?" No bag to carry it home or prevent the 2 oz. Soufflé cup Olive Oil, and partially full- 2 oz. Soufflé cup of Tzatziki. I asked if I could get an extra 2 oz. portion of Tazatziki. The young woman looked at me rudely and as if she would be terribly inconvenienced, she said "We charge extra for that!" I replied "Just FORGET it!" She was very attentive to a table of females behind me who were obnoxiously loud! I regret I left her a tip after spending $40.00 + for lunch. Your To-go orders include very fancy packaging in orange bag, oversized white plastic bag. I'm a sure an extra 2.0 oz portion of Tazatziki wouldn't break your piggy bank and cost a helluva lot less. Truly disappointing snd pathetic. If you want similar, delicious cuisine and nicer service, spend your money at Balkin Treat Box. At least you won't be rudely, mistreated by arrogant, lazy "Millennial" wait-staff.

The biscoff shake was nothing short of amazing. But the real star was the pizza. A really solid crust, heaps of gooey cheese, the right proportion of ingredients to allow the flavors to pop (and good quality ingredients to boot), and a wonderful curry masala sauce. This is how fusion cuisine is supposed to be- the best of both worlds that comes together in a way that is both new and comfortably familiar. Staff was polite and service was fast. I can't wait to bring my family next time. I have some picky eaters and some adventurous eaters (I also have serious food allergies) and there is something here for everyone.

Unfortunately, today the first thing we opened for our to go order was moldy pita bread for our baba ghanoush.

The lamb kabob was tasty. I think overall it's just disappointing and concerning when you have mold in your order and it brought the entire meal down.

I ordered the mixed grill and for a free appetizer they brought me a pita and trio of three pastes that I loved and was very tasty. The mixed grill was all the usual combination of skewed meats including beef kofta, lamb kabob skewer and chicken shish tarwook and wow! it was killer, and loved the side of deliciously spiced rice, grilled onion and tomato. I've lived and worked in the Middle East for years so I often miss the fine food I ate there so this was as close to the Middle East/Lebanese cuisine I've had in the St. Louis area. My server was friendly with great service and it didn't take long for my lunch but I wasn't in a hurry anyway. The decor is nice and I only wished they had freshly made ice tea instead of Lipton out of a bottle but happily they gave me fresh slices of lemon and a glass with ice for my tea.

No belly dancer that we saw even tho their website did advertise every first Friday there was a performance so not sure if the lack of crowd determines this or what, but maybe one night we will get lucky! We ordered falafel to start and I got the lamb kebab and my date ordered the chicken shawarma plate. Falafel was THE BEST I've had yet, and I wish it was endless. The yogurt sauce they are served with compliments them perfectly. My lamb kebab was cooked just like I like and I really enjoyed this meal. The chicken shawarma was also really good and both plates had ample portions. This was a great date place, We will be back!
