My favorite little hidden gem. Gyro plate changed my life. There Greek salad with green goddess dressing on top is life. It comes free with a gyro plate. Cant go wrong with the special of the day. My girl loves there deserts. There bread is so delicious. Humus is πŸ”₯there rice is addictive. Everything is top notch. I love it .

Visited them today. I have forgotten to put a mask on. There was only one person shopping inside, and one person in mask and another without mask talking to a cashier. I was told to put the mask on next time I come to shop. I asked why the guy who he was talking to was without mask. The answer was: He is the owner. Am I not understanding something here? (P.S. I have had two shots of vaccine and a booster) Sorry, havent noticed the sign on the door. Is it for everybody, or there are special people here? 10/29/21 My comment on the owners answer. The circumstances can be different, but you have to understand how it looks and sounds for the customers: seeing personnel without mask with requirement to wear it for all others. Im not against wearing a mask. In addition, I wasnt stopped when I was entering the store, but only when I was already paying at the cashiers desk. Epidemiological regulations either for everybody, or what is the sense of having them

Ive been craving Mediterranean food and this place did not disappoint! Their yogurt dipping sauce and dolmas were great! We ordered the falafel plate and Greek salad. I was a little disappointed with the drinks though. They only offer bottled sodas without ice. Ill definitely be back though.

The meat was super hot and I usually eat very spicy and hit foods. Also we ate without the tortilla that comes with it. When we asked if we could have our tortillas it was very hard and cold. I dont plan eating there again.

Very awesome little market. Not bad prices. I definitely will come back for my spices and grape leaves for sure. I just wish they carried pita bread in the store along with lemon juice. But definitely thumbs up from me. Nice guys. Nice experience.

First off, let me say I loved coming here for their products and pricing. Its the customer service thats lacking. The guy behind the counter has never been friendly but has now been swallowed up by the hysteria of the masks. What makes it worse is the hypocrisy. He refused service to a non- masking customer while you clearly see a fellow employee not wearing a mask. My wife and I will not be shopping here again.

Been here before for their traditional Gyro and thought it was pretty good. Today I was disappointed. The meat portion was very dry and bland. After slicing the meat off the vertical rotisserie, the cook put it on the flat top griddle and I dont understand why. Isnt it kept warm on the rotisserie? The pita was way too thick, and not very soft. Then to top it off there was way too many onions which overwhelmed the taste.

I bought Baklava and it was not as it should have been. Too much oil and not enough honey.

Since everyone has a different preference on hummus, this ones flavor is mildly tangy.

Dropped by for a to-go lunch. I ordered the Gyro plate and was not disappointed. The meats were perfectly cooked! Crispy on the outside but tender in the middle, and seasoned to perfection. The portion was very generous for $9.99 (Greek salad included). The pita wasnt the best Ive ever had, but wasnt bad either. The Tzatziki sauce was very fresh and had a great taste. The salad was remarkably fresh and had some of the best olives Ive ever had in it. Highly recommend the Gyro plate.

This is about the grocery market. Nice collection of ethnic food items. I always visit this store when ever I come to CC. The person behind the counter (cashier) can improve his customer service a little bit. Sometimes it feels like rough..

So my wife is Iraqi, so I may be jaded by good middle eastern food, but my wife got the beef kabob and I got a special of spicy butter chicken. I know, butter chicken is Indian, but I love butter chicken and love spicy food. Unfortunately, it was nearly devoid of flavor, color, and not in the least spicy. It tasted like poor day old chicken casserole, but fortunately my kids liked it and I got to eat their kabob which was decent. The bread not home made (kinda easy to do so its a shame) and the price wasnt very good. I HATE writing bad reviews, but this place was not a good representation of well seasoned Lebanese food.

Normally this is the best place. This trip wasnt what I was used to.. The meat was a little over cooked and the tomato was less than delicious looking but the taste was great!

This is the best place to shop if you are vegan or on a plant based diet. I buy most of my spices, lentil varieties, grains, and garbanzo snacks there. I use their baking dates instead of expensive whole ones in baking and as a sweetener. I would have given 5 stars but they didnt have the variety of roasted garbanzo bean snacks that I have come to expect.

Great tapas-like options, and plenty for vegetarians. Pretty fast (next door is a pretty good store with fresh breads & packaged foods if theres a crowd who got there just in front of you). On the SIDE of the mall not the front.

I go here for my feta cheese and middle eastern spices. There are also spices and spice pastes used in Indian cuisine. The Bulgarian feta cheese is the best. I have also bought phyllo pastry which they have in different sizes and weight.

Have eaten here twice, and every time I always leave full, happy, and satisfied. There food always taste fresh, healthy, and clean. My most favorite food is the lamb that they cut for the shawarma plate and the gyro. There sweat tea is amazing. If you are ever in the area its the best for lunch or dinner. Its a must try!!

Low quality and not sanitary. The owner wasn’t wearing gloves while making gyro sandwichThe food didn’t taste good at all4/2020: response to owners comment about me being from Sufi restaurant. If you had any decency left, you would have come back in professional way and offered to make it up for a concerned customer. Not looking for free meal at all!! Just a response how you will improve your service. I guess they don’t teach decency, respect and honesty in Lebanon. Grow up and accept that you have lost to better quality restaurants. Stop serving canned hummus, baba ganouj, boxed gyro and buy some gloves. Most important is to leave that arrogant attitude and backhome habits behind as there is no room for that in this beautiful country. People of your own community in Corpus don’t trust and dine in at your restaurant. They know your fake!

Very rude cashier tonight. Kept us waiting outside for 15mins and still felt I had no right to be upset for waiting. When confronted, told me the world doesnt revolve around me nd I should not come back. Trust me no African is coming back there, I will tell them about it in the meeting.

Well, let’s start from beginning. First, we were waiting on the line, as usual, the customers front us, they ordered too many foods which is completely ok. But, server guys, basically cared about them because their order was expensive than orders, and just completing of the order took 20 minutes. If you wouldn’t not order about 50$ they will act to you like you will eat for free

Ok, they called it Kema Curry. Served with rice or bread. I like the rice here so that was my choice. The curry would be right at home at a no bean chili contest.

Review β„–63

The owner wasnt very social or welcoming. The falafel was over cooked and the gyro was cut thick like chunks, not the way it should be served. The lady who waited on me was a sweetheart and the cashier in the market was helpful. If you know what middle eastern food should be like you will be disappointed going here. The whole falafel plate went to waist.

The owners of this franchise do not have any etiquettes/manners. They do not even smile or greet you when you enter their store. Regarding the deli, I ordered a shawarma and they did not even offer the garlic sauce with it. I had to ask for it and they charged me a dollar just for an extra little piece of garlic sauce. The owner is greedy !
