This place is my favorite for lunch! After discovering Baiz on yelp I have been back for lunch almost once a week, sometimes more. I usually get the chicken shawarma plate. Wish it came with hummus, but it's available as a side. Kabobs are good also, but they take awhile because they are cooked to order. They make their own pita, it's always fresh. You have to try this place if you haven't before! Great food, friendly staff, and a market full of food you can't find in other grocery stores, you can shop while you wait for take out. read more

I only heard about Baiz about a year ago but was hooked when I found that it had an enormous selection of middle eastern foods that you can't get at any of your common grocery stores. Then, just a few months ago I tried out their in-store cafe, Al-Hana. The food is DELICIOUS! I am usually in a hurry to get off to work or school, but if you come here for lunch, expect a short wait. Al-Hana at lunch is usually a little busy, not too busy, but it will be about 10 minutes before your order is ready. I've only been here for lunch so I generally get one of their pita sandwiches which are dirt cheap at $4.75. The Shish Taook, Falafel Sandwich and Iraqi Kabob (my favorite thus far) are amazing. They are just the right size and will fill you up enough not to put you to sleep once you get back to your desk. I HIGHLY recommend getting one of their sides too. The Tabbouleh and Babaghanuj are seriously mouthwatering (mine is while I'm writing this). They're each about $4 for a small but are good portions and well worth it! So bottom line if you enjoy middle eastern cafes, you have to swing by Al-Hana at Baiz. They're totally affordable and you can order an awesome pita sandwich and grab any extras in the store while you wait (a yogurt drink and some baklava are my standard). Enjoy! read more

What a gem!!!! I tried this place for the first time yesterday, and we ended up going back again today!!! The Chicken Schwarma sandwiches are awesome. The hummus is great, and the Chicken Tahook with garlic sauce is going to be the death of me (in a good way) The food is in expensive (we paid 15 bucks for a chicken tahook plate (great chicken skewers served with pickles, hummus, pita and garlic sauce) a chicken schwarma sandwich, a small lamb meat pie, small cheese pie and a large spinach pie. Needless to say I"m speaking from a bread coma right now, but it's well worth it!! Do yourself a favor, this place is great! read more

Not sure what happened to this place over the years. Customer service has gradually gone down and they no longer take phone orders for to go food. But if you order the Shish kafta, they warn you its at least a 15 minute wait.....so you're forced to wait amongst the sea of annoyed and somehow always angry customers. The food is good and fairly priced, which is the only thing that brings me back every once in a while. read more

I used to come here all the time and it seemed like they had way more business before when they took phone orders for pick up. They said they no longer do phone orders because people dont pick up. So why not take credit cards over the phone to ensure payment? If they dont show up then they charge the card...simple as that. So now i have to go through the trouble of waiting 15 minutes for a to go order? read more

This place has excellent shawarmas for a low price of $3.99. I go here almost weekly and they are consistently good. They have a $10 minimum for debit so bring cash. Also, the store that they are connected to, Baiz Market, carries hookah supplies. Phoenix needs more places like this. read more

This place is great. Hummus was awesome. Just a great all around place for Middle Eastern. The market is great too. Great to pass the time looking around while you wait for your food read more

Highest of recommendations for this place. Superb flavor, great prices. Perfect spot to grab a bite before a ball game downtown (not near the rail line). Just know what to expect-- it's a deli counter in a middle eastern market in a "questionable" neighborhood. The tables are aluminum and rickety, so I usually take it to go. The hummus is the best in town, as is the pita. I usually take an extra order of both to bring home for the week. The baba ganaouj is good and very smokey, but I prefer the hummus. I've tried every sandwich on the menu. The best is the chicken shwarma. Rotisserie chicken, shredded and seared crisp on the griddle, then folded into a pita with garlic spread, tomato, lettuce and pickle. They are small and amazing, so I always get two. The beef shwarma is also good. The kebab sandwiches are very tasty, but the pieces of meat are huge and difficult to eat in sandwich form. Better off getting kebab plates. read more

Great hummus and good tasting pita and lamb! A great culture experience all inside a busy little market

We had the chicken and beef shawarma sandwiches and it was delicious!!! Would definitely come back to eat and try different menu items.

This little restaurant is amazing. As authentic as it gets (as far as I know). With cheap prices and traditional food, you cannot go wrong. Chicken Shwarmas, babaganoush, hummus, falafel, pies, and kabobs are delicious. Baklava from the bakery area is amazing as well. I do suggest covering up your shoulders and wearing pants, as there are a lot of Muslims who frequent the store and restaurant. I felt uncomfortable wearing shorts and a tank my first visit (which was during the summer) but it was my mistake. read more

Little no frills cafe integrated with a small international market. Had the chicken shawarma which turned out to be excellent. Could be better with the addition of some side dishes but for those who want a small light inexpensive hot lunch this isn't a bad little gem. read more

I stopped by and selected a Shawarma plate for lunch after spotting the giant rotating spit of beef. The serving size was huge; it ended up being a meal and a half. The beef, rice, hummus, and other accompaniments were all delicious. Even relative to other similar authentic middle eastern places, I felt that the food was a step up. Everything was just tastier. Al-Hana is out of the way for me, but I definitely plan to return. read more

Really good stuff. Authentic. Wide variety of food on offer. The staff is small so sometimes they can get really busy and you see the staff working really hard right there. The restaurant makes the knefah dessert right there so it's fresh (and good) - very few restaurants make their own. read more

This deli/cafe is excellent. In my opinion, the most authentic place in town. It's located inside of Baiz Market. The pita is fresh, the shawarma is cooked on a rotiserie. No complaints with the quality of food. However, you will have to put up with some chaos. They do not take orders in an orderly manner. You just stand near the counter and eask the patrons "are you waiting to order or waiting for food" There is no line. What is worse is the parking lot situation. It is too small for the volume that they do. So people make up parking spaces or wait for someone to leave. The last two times I was their there were minor accidents in the parking lot. They are supposed to be opening a new Baiz Market on Dobson/Baseline. This needs to happen sooner rather than later. They have out grown their old location. read more

Best falafel sandwich I have ever had and at a more-than-fair price. I make excuses to shop at Baiz (the attached market) so that I can eat at Al-Hana. read more

The food here is amazing! Authentic Mediterranean food with the ambience rich in culture. You can find the restaurant inside of the market.

What is the hype people????I went here for lunch after seeing all the awesome reviews, but I was disappointed. First, the menu is very hard to understand (see the pic that someone posted). I ordered the chicken shwarma sandwich and hummus platter. There isn't much of a drink selection in the tiny fridge. For soda, all they had was the cans and they charged $1.00 for them. Later, while I was eating I noticed a lot of people were buying their drinks from the market, then coming over to order their food (pain in the ass if you ask me). Anyhow, so I was only 1 of a few people there and the food took quite a while. When they finally called my order I went up and asked for the "garlic sauce" that I heard so much about on here and the lady said it would cost $1.00. I said nevermind because I wasn't going to pay that for a small container of condiment! I was surprised at how small the sandwich was. It wasn't impressive either. Just a grilled flatbread with a few pieces of chicken, a few tomato slices, lettuce, and a little sauce. In my opinion this wasn't worth 3.99, but more worth 2.50 or something because of its size and how little filling there was.The hummus was good, but nothing spectacular. This place is also in a dodgy part of town right across from project housing...literally right across the street. The market was pretty cool though and I'll prob return (during the daylight of course) for some olives, olive oil, and pita. BUT will skip out on dining here. read more

This restaurant is great. The shawarma was sooo good. My goodness I loved everything!!!!

Wow! During a bi-annual allergy induced laryngitis, I went in search for my favorite tea- dry desert lime. Apparently, I am the only one in PHX who knows it because no one is carrying it this year. Next best thing? Find dried limes. This quest led me to Biaz Market. The neighborhood it is in is rough, but it's more poverty than unsafe. The parking lot, though, was full. Walking in I decided to spend some time wandering the aisles. Within 30 seconds I was blown away. They have rose water and orange blossom water for 99 cents! The only place I had found it before sells it for $4! Fresh produce, cheeses, meats. Fresh herbs that I can't find elsewhere for only 89 cents! What? Am I dreaming? An entire aisle of spices- so many that I missed my limes I originally came here for. The very, very nice employee didn't just tell me what aisle, she walked me straight to it and when I commented about a ground version, she helped me search for that. Dolmas in cans and jars for under $3 (and they're freaking delicious!). Pita bread 50 cents. So much yummy stuff priced so well. We don't often get such gems of ethnicity in Phoenix, but this hidden treasure made me feel sooooooo good on a sick day. I can't wait to go back and try the restaurant, buy more groceries and test my cooking skills, and get get my fix of the world abroad without having to buts out the bones for an international flight. read more

amazing food , the best ever . I have tried shish kebab and chicken shawerma both are terrific. if you like Arabic food go there.
