    Pistachio Baklava and Turkish Coffee
    Annie L.

    This place is a gem! We have been wanting to try it, and we finally made it here today. Everything we ordered was great and home made. We got the grape leaves and kibbeh for our appetizers--both so delicious! We also got the steak & chicken kabob plate, which came with a generous portion of hummus and salad, plus pita bread. And for dessert we had the Turkish coffee and pistachio baklava . Food is beautifully flavored, the chicken kabob was my favorite. Was only able to take pics of the baklava We are already thinking of when to come back to try other food on the menu!

    The food was excellent. Everything was fresh. Very tasty. The plates were full for the price point. It was a lot. I'm telling you this is a must try.! It's a small hole in the wall place. You can just dress casually. They have a few tables. It looks like it's family run.

    The food and service was fantastic! We had the chicken wrap and chicken shawarma plate. And with garlic and hot sauce. They added a pack of ketchup to go with the fries. Fries were fresh. Highly recommend adding a slice of baklava, one of the best I've had! Don't miss out on this spot if you're in the area. Thanks for a great lunch!

    Craving Middle Eastern Food especially Lebanese- then this is your place. Recently reopened to a new location. The service is impeccable- owner, chef, and server were attentive. Very helpful on explaining the food and made sure that the food we order is to our liking. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share- hummus, zataar flatbread, fries, and kibbeh. They had different sauces in the table and also gave us tzatziki. They give you plenty of bread- made in house. The chicken and beef shawarma were delicious- flavorful and not dry, comes with rice and salad. The lentil soup is so good. Beef kofta plate is delicious. Make sure to have the mint lemonade - so good. Make room for dessert- we did have to wait for the kunafeh which is made fresh. Totally worth the wait. Make sure to ask for extra syrup/sauce. Perfect with Turkish coffee. Definitely coming back and trying other item in the menu. Great to support local business.

    Very good food. Baklava was superb. Gentleman who took order was very kind and attentive.

    unsweetened iced tea ($3.79)

    K and I visited for a weekend lunch. We entered and were greeted right away. I had an unsweetened iced tea and we shared a babaganoush, lentil soup and a chicken and beef skewer combo plate. Iced tea was great and free refills. Homemade pita and babaganoush was yummy. Lentil soup was a huge serving; not as thick as I'm used to but we enjoyed it. The skewer combo plate came with good portions of rice, salad and hummus. Steak skewer was really tender and we enjoyed both skewers. I thought we'd have some leftovers with the amount of food we got but we finished everything. Friendly service and laid back atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

    Beef Kofta Plate
    Kyo V.

    Great food and service! Saw several reviews and wanted to try this spot. Having been to the Middle East we were curious on how authentic it would be. We were not disappointed with our orders and found several of the items as good as what we had overseas, and some even better. The freshly baked pita and hummus were outstanding. Parking was easy on the weekend and staff were great.

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    WOW!!!! This place is SOOOO good. I cannot stress this enough. It's tastes homemade and reminded me of my grandmothers cooking. The team was super friendly, welcoming , and attentive. Also all the meat is halal and very good quality. we got two chicken plates and one beef kofta plate. We all couldn't believe how good the food was. My niece go the chicken fingers and fries and I couldn't stop stealing her fries. The food was well seasoned and we will be back!

    Beef Shawarma Plate. EXCELLENT!
    Joe L.

    I tried Amena Cafe last night while on a business trip in Vegas and loved it. The owner is a super friendly guy and was very welcoming. The food was amazing. I ordered the beef shawarma plate which came with the super flavorful and perfect texture shawarma, rice, a nice lemony flavored salad, some great hummus and a pita. Their pita was so soft and pillowy. Perfect texture. Their house made tahini is great drizzled on top of the food. I highly recommend checking out Amena for great Middle Eastern food.

    Beef Kabob Plate

    It's so goood! So fresh everything is yummy! I am so sad I am not local and won't be able to come here everyday to eat this yummy plate of food! I got the Beef Kabob Plate! Let me tell you, I went here for lunch, it was so good, we decided to get it again for dinner! The freshness of the beef, so juicy, so tender and soft to chew! The salad was so good and dressing, even the hummus with pita, I ate everything !

    On February 5th, while visiting my son in Las Vegas, we were looking for a spot to grab lunch and…read morestumbled upon Shawarma Paradise, and we're so glad we did. This place is truly a hidden gem. I ordered the chicken shawarma with falafel, and my son went with the beef shawarma laffa. Everything was absolutely delicious. Beyond the amazing food, the service really stood out. The gentleman behind the counter was incredibly helpful, walking us through menu options and drink choices. We were so impressed that I asked if he was the owner. He told us the owner was actually sitting out front, so we made sure to let him know how much we enjoyed the food and the experience. My son will definitely be back, and I know I'll return on my next visit. If you're in Vegas, do yourself a favor and check out Shawarma Paradise; you'll be glad you did.

    I went from sha-hot-a paradise outside to this inside…read more Shawarma Paradise is a nondescript shop in Little Ethiopia. For those who might get lost trying to find it, they're pretty much right across the street from Burger King. After I finally located them and walked in, it looked odd since it felt like almost behind the counter, but you can just walk around to the dining room and the front of the counter. I was recommended a couple of choices and went with the Black Angus Steak Shawarma as a Laffa wrap ($24.50). The employee had me walk over to the Chipotle-esque assembly area after and then walked me through the choices. I recall getting hummus, a mild green sauce of some kind, raw sumac onions, fried onions, fried eggplant, cucumber, pico de gallo, and purple slaw. Then the cool stuff happened when he offered to let me sample some sauce and then get multiple sauces on the side. The curry mango amba is some really challenging stuff that resembled something I've tried at some Indian lunch buffet ages ago, so I'm glad I didn't get it on the wrap. The creamy BBQ aioli (kinda like a sweeter fry sauce, I felt), dill & roasted garlic mayo, and tahini were all better options, the former going especially well with my included side of fries while the dill plays a great supporting role and the tahini just does its thing. I sat down and got to the actual wrap, and it was delicious. The laffa is fluffy and thicker than I thought it might be; it ain't a lavash, that's for sure. The steak is pretty tender, often has that char from the vertical rotisserie it was carved from, and free from chewy bits. It has a nice warming spice rub which you can get more easily before starting to experiment with sauces. All three aforementioned choices worked. Overall, it isn't cheap (especially if you don't have cash on-hand to avoid the surcharge), but I enjoyed it. I also got a bottled lemonade ($4.95) of some sort which they've imported from Israel. It had a little more actual lemon character than American brands, and I kinda plowed through that thing pretty quickly. I'm kinda curious whether the mango, peach, or grape options would have also worked. Shawarma Paradise is a very good, albeit pricey option for steak shawarma and likely for other protein needs. Check them out if you get the craving, as I'm not confident that there are many if any better spots around.

The six-course meal was absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and delicious. I especially loved that parts of the dining experience were interactive, it made the evening feel even more special and immersive. The ambiance was perfection. The warm red glow, gorgeous decor, and thoughtfully dim lighting created an elegant, intimate atmosphere without making it difficult to see. Every detail made it feel like I had been transported somewhere truly special. The live entertainment was the perfect finishing touch. The belly dancers were incredibly talented and added so much energy and authenticity to the evening. Combined with the music, it created an experience that was about so much more than just dinner. One of my favorite moments happened as soon as I was seated, when my hands were ceremonially washed. It was such a unique and welcoming touch that set the tone for the rest of the night. Our server was outstanding. Once he learned it was my first time visiting, he made sure I felt welcomed and took great care of us throughout the entire evening. The service was attentive without ever feeling intrusive. From the moment I arrived until the moment I left, everything was flawless. Marrakech isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience. If I could give it more than five stars, I absolutely would. I can't wait to return!

From the moment we walked in and were greeted, with a Happy Birthday, to being seated in a secluded corner next to a little water feature that added extra ambiance! Our server immediately came over and greeted us with a bowl and warm flowery water to rinse our hands. He explained how the courses worked, and asked if we'd like cocktails- we had the white wine seasonal sangria and it was delicious! Fresh and fruity! The dancers came out before our first course and the music was really loud- like thumping my seat loud... probably the only thing I would have like done differently. The first course came out and it was shrimp scampi with homemade bread - the shrimp was enough to serve at least 3 people- and it was tasty with lots of flavor! The next course was a lentil soup , served in a bowl with no utensils, and we were told to drink out of the bowl. This was also very flavorful! It was filling so I only took a couple sips of mine to leave room for the food to come! The next course they brought out was a tower of Hummus Baba Ghannouj Moroccan style olives, cucumbers & carrots, along with crispy pita Next was the Beef Kabob served on a skewer stabbed in a pineapple with dry ice for a spectacular presentation. The meat was so tender you could cut it with the fork! It was so much food it could have fed our family of 4, but it was just me and my husband! The last savory food item was the Moroccan Couscous & Chicken Platter- this chicken was so tender it fell off the bone when I picked it up with my fork- it was deliciously flavorful with middle eastern spices!! And the couscous were cooked perfectly! Lastly, they brought out a desert along with tambourines and drums and bright lights and sang a happy birthday song to me! The cake was not my favorite- but it was cute with a design on top It was a Moroccan pastry stuffed with bananas, nuts & chocolate topped with powdered sugar & cinnamon. They served it along with a sweet hot delicious mint tea! The dancers came out about every 20-30 minutes and they were beautiful and interactive with the crowd, asking diners if they'd like to get up and belly dance with them.... It was very fun to watch! We had a wonderful time, we would definitely go back! Next time on an empty stomach, and with the ability to take our leftovers home!! Highly recommend!!!

A few tables or bar window seats in a brightly lit room. You order at the counter and they add the toppings (like a sandwich shop) we like everything, so we had a really nice salad added to our bowl with all the veggies. We also ordered a 'up charge' item of baba gahnoosh, that comes with hot pita bread, that is so worth it. We also added a green and a red hot sauce, too, both were to die for. Yum! We had food for days! Leftovers heated well the next day. We had an accidental double charge but was handled right away. Will add to my must stop for us when in Vegas.
