This was an absolutely unacceptable experience from start to finish…read more On Friday, 8/28, seven of us ordered lunch from Middle Eats through the Middle Eats website for delivery to Ward. Our order totaled $212.78 and included four shawarma brisket bowls, a chicken kebab bowl, a shawarma brisket wrap, and cumin fries. The estimated delivery window was 1:55-2:05 PM. Around 2:00 PM, we checked the order status and were shocked to see "Your order was delivered." Except it hadn't been. We had received nothing. At 2:07 PM, we called the number provided directly on the Middle Eats order status page. We were told the order was out for delivery and should arrive soon. We waited another 15-20 minutes, then called again and were told they would contact the driver for an update. By around 3:00 PM, after repeatedly trying to get through, someone finally answered and said they were speaking with DoorDash support. We were told the driver had picked up our $212.78 order and subsequently cancelled the order. We never received any part of the order and were given no explanation of what happened to the food after the driver picked it up. At that point, we just wanted the situation resolved and our money back. We were told someone would get back to us with an update. About 30 minutes later, we called again and were told there was still no update, but someone would call us back. By 5 PM, there was still no call. A different employee answered and apparently had no idea what had happened. We had to explain the entire situation again, only to be told that they couldn't provide a refund and needed to speak with a manager. On Saturday, 8/29, we called again and asked if we could speak with the manager directly. We were told this was the correct number, but the manager wasn't there yet. We specifically asked that the manager call us that day even if he didn't have a resolution yet, because we simply wanted to speak with someone who knew what was going on. We were assured he would call us back. Nobody ever called back. Then, later that morning, Middle Eats sent us a message saying: "We hope you enjoyed your first visit to Middle Eats. Here is a special discount to use the next time you come in. We would love to see you again soon!" Attached was a $5-off coupon. We had just paid $212.78 for food that never arrived, spent hours trying to get answers, and were still waiting for someone to address the situation. And the response was essentially, "Thanks for visiting! Here's $5 off your next order!" We did not "enjoy our first visit." We didn't receive our food. No one called back Saturday. No one called back Sunday. As of Monday morning, 8/31, the $212.78 charge has posted to our card, we still have received zero food, and we have received zero follow-up. To be fair, I understand the initial delivery problem may have involved a third-party driver. Things happen. That isn't even what bothers me most. What is unacceptable is how Middle Eats handled it afterward. We ordered and paid through the Middle Eats website. Nothing on the order confirmation or status page indicated that we were placing the order through DoorDash, and there was no driver information provided to us. Middle Eats was the business we paid and the only party we could reasonably contact for help. Instead, we spent an entire afternoon and weekend repeatedly calling, explaining the situation to different employees, receiving incomplete information, and being promised callbacks that never happened. The initial delivery failure was unfortunate. The customer service failure was entirely avoidable. A $212.78 order is not pocket change. We shouldn't have to spend hours chasing a restaurant for basic answers, nor should we still be out more than $200 four days later with no communication. And honestly, the $5 coupon was the cherry on top. Please don't send us a coupon to come back when you haven't even addressed the $212.78 order we already paid for. We paid $212.78. We received $0 worth of food, $0 meaningful follow-up, and a $5 coupon. That's not acceptable customer service.

At approximately 7:40 PM, I visited the establishment to grab a meal, but I witnessed a staff member working at the food station coughing repeatedly directly over the open food displays. While doing so, she was wiping down the counter and continuing her tasks without turning away, wearing a mask, or taking any precautions. Seeing a staff member cough directly onto the food is completely unacceptable and a major health violation. Needless to say, I left immediately without ordering. I am sharing this in the hope that management will take this seriously. Employees showing signs of illness should not be working with food, and basic hygiene protocols must be enforced to protect your customers. I truly hope you will address this with your staff immediately so this does not happen again.

The restaurant is super clean and spacious, and they play some awesome classic rock music. You order and pay at the counter and they will bring you the food; the lady at the counter was extremely friendly and very efficient. You need to bus your own table when you're done, just place the used dishes, glasses and utensils in the labeled plastic tubs, not a big deal at all. Now, the food is the star. We order baba ganoush with pita, super gyro with zucchini fries, and a soup and salad combo. The baba ganoush was so delicious, and the pita was warm and soft. The super gyro has so much yummy meat in it that the pita can hardly hold them, and the zucchini fries were crispy and not oily. It also comes with a couple really good tzatziki sauces. My wife really enjoyed the avgolemono (lemon and chicken) soup and greek salad. She was so pleased with the combo that she had to order an extra takeout combo for her friend to try. On top of all that, we finished our great meal with a baklava sundae; two fresh crispy baklava pastries with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with cinnamon and honey. This desert is a must order. The restaurant is mixed in with a lot of other restaurants and shops in a large strip mall, so it maybe easy to miss. The prices are really reasonable and the portions are good. If you like Mediterranean food; this is the place. You will love it.

We came here for lunch looking for something healthy, not heavy, and fresh and we got exactly that!…read moreWe started with some hummus and zucchini fries that we all loved. They didn't feel heavy or greasy at all, they were thinly breaded and super fresh and crispy. I would go back just for those. I ordered the lamb souvlaki, everything comes with a side so I got it with the baba ghanoush. I love the way the lamb was seasoned and the baba ghanoush was delicious I might even prefer it over hummus. Not pictured, but I even got to try their garlic fries which also weren't greasy either and they had lots of garlic! I got to try their spanakopita as well, super flaky and crispy. For me, everything was a 10/10. It ended up being a lot more food than expected and perfect if you're looking for something healthy, light, but also filling. The environment was calm and the lady who was there was super friendly as well! I'd be back all the time if I didn't live so far!
