    Appetizers on the house
    Julia R.

    A cute little hole in the wall spot! It is a one man shop, the owner does the cooking and everything, and he is so sweet! The food came out quick, and he gave pita and soup as an appetizer on the house. The food could have used bit more spices, but still tasty nonetheless!

    Beef Gyro Lunch Combo
    Dennis X.

    Came on a Wednesday for lunch, as my workplace is right around the corner. The restaurant is very clean and I love the outdoor seating! The staff are very friendly and engaging, which I really appreciated. Makes it truly feel like a cozy, mom-n-pop vibe. The owner also used to have his own bakery so you best believe this place knows its bread! I got the Beef Gyro lunch combo. The food started with pita bread and dip and then my plate came out with salad and rice. I really enjoyed the taste and was licking my fingers by the end of it. Overall, decent food for a decent price with decent vibes! Will be eating here at least once a week for lunch!

    Lamb kebab

    Such a hidden treasure! I enjoyed every bite each dish served. The owner was warm and welcoming with engaging conversation. He sent me home with cookies for my kids. I will return for dinner with my kiddos so they can enjoy as well :)

    Chicken Kebob
    Anna L.

    Ordered the chicken kebab plate to go. Owner was so attentive and kind, food came fast. Chicken tasted so good. Portion size is generous. The restaurant was empty on a Wednesday evening which does not speak to the quality of the food. Overall, really really good.

    Spicy chicken
    Scott M.

    What a wonderful lunch we had! Amazing flavor on the spicy chicken. Wife had Lula kabob which was also so tasty as the seasoning they use on both dishes left us wanting more! Also great was the garlic sauce and hummus. We will be back!

    Owner is a very sweet man. Service was amazing and the food was delicious. Food came out very quickly and he was so attentive to our needs. If you ever need a place to go for a date night this is the place. Food was so great I forgot to take a picture before I finished.

    Lahmajoon great experience! Lahmajoon was incredible.

    Great experience tonight! Felt like I was dining at the owners home. Has been in Fresno for 25 years. Go support a long time restaurant of ours.

This is a Peruvian restaurant so it is not Mediterranean. It tasted more like ground sausage in a long casing. The chicken tasted like chopped up processed chicken in a long casing.

My husband said it felt like we were walking into someone's living room! The owner was really nice and offered us some recommendations. We ended up getting the lamb chop plate and the ground chicken & ground beef kabob. The food came out quickly and we were offered hot sauce and garlic sauce which of course we said yes to. My husband really enjoyed the lamb and rice. I don't usually like lamb, but it tasted juicy and not too gamy. The ground chicken kabob was well seasoned but I preferred the beef kabob. The kabobs were good, and we're really elevated more by the garlic sauce. Overall, the food was tasty and the ambiance a little odd (probably just because of the game). Overall, meal plus tip was a little over $50 for 1 meal and ala carte 2 kabob mix.

    Absolute gem. Walked into Araz Bakery during a road trip and immediately knew we struck gold…read more Varuzh, the owner, was in full hustle mode pumping out an order of about 150 Armenian pizzas, and we were lucky enough to grab one. The crust was paper-thin, shatteringly crispy, and topped with juicy, savory minced beef and warm, fragrant spices that hit perfectly without being heavy. The Cheese Borek and Spicy Borek were equally crave-worthy--light, flaky, golden dough wrapped around a creamy, mildly salty white cheese filling that was rich but not overwhelming. Every bite was comforting and dangerously easy to finish. Missed out on the Ajarakan (sold out!), but that just means a guaranteed return. Easy 5 stars. Bookmarked and not skipping this stop next time I'm in Fresno.

    Came here around 12:30, hoping to try several things on the menu that sounded intriguing…read more Unfortunately, what others have said is true: They sell out of the popular items quickly. So it was a bit disappointing for us, since most of what we wanted to try wasn't available (Spinach Borek, Ajarakan, Mini Khachapuri, and Nazook Gata). I had 2 Lahmajune (aka Lahmacun, Lahmajun), which I really loved. These were delicious, like a super thin pizza crust, topped with chopped beef in a flavorful sauce with spices and bits of veggies (onions, parsley, red peppers, etc). I also had a Spicy Borek, which was good, but I didn't love the filling-to-dough ratio on this one. I tasted the dough more than filling. My husband, lamenting the lack of Spinach Borek that he was looking forward to, had only 2 Maniesh (aka Manakeesh, Manakish, etc.) for lunch (and a Tahini bread for a later dessert). The owner who helped us, heated up our order (since it was all baked earlier and cool by now), but my husband later told me, his were barely warm. He really liked the topping of the Maniesh (Za'atar, which is a blend of several different spices including oregano & thyme). But he found the pita-like bread the Za'atar was spread on too dry, and overwhelmed the Za'atar. He enjoyed the Tahnini bread more, being just a sweet, light dough. Prices were quite reasonable, except the Spicy Borek seemed a bit much, compared to the other items on the menu. (Also, the Ajarakan is double the Spicy Borek, at $13. Maybe it's worth it, though; I can't say, since it wasn't available.) Due to the prices, I'm rounding up my rating to 4*.

Fresh salad mix with crispy pita bread strips and thick cuts of chicken strips. I asked for my dressing and sauces in the sauce so I can control the amount as I don't like my salad overly dressed or sauced to keep the crispness of the pita chips and salad. Dressing has a nice bit of tang. Garlic sauce was nice and creamy. And of course the spicy sauce always hit with the garlicky creaminess and hint of spice. Everything was nicely seasoned. Service is always great here. We were greeted and seated within seconds of walking in the door. Great place to enjoy delicious food and catch up with friends here since it never gets too loud even when they're busy.

My husband and I actually started coming here because we received a gift certificate on our wedding day, so every visit has always been meaningful to us. Unfortunately, our most recent visit completely changed how I feel about this restaurant. Our waitress was Brenda (a middle-aged Caucasian woman with glasses). I want to be clear about who served us because my receipt also listed the name Brenda, and I would hate for another employee to receive this review by mistake. We were seated fairly quickly even though it was a very busy night and the restaurant was full. I want to say upfront that I completely respect how hard servers work, and I understand busy nights happen. However, after sitting for quite a while without anyone taking our order, I politely told Brenda that we were ready. I am diabetic and was not feeling well, so the wait was starting to affect me. Her response was, "Sorry, we're really busy tonight and there are only three of us waitressing." I understood that they might be short staffed, but at the very least she could have taken our drink order. Instead, she continued cleaning tables and serving other customers. I watched four different tables get seated after us and receive drinks, salads, and appetizers before we even placed our order. As someone who has been coming here for years, I have never felt so uncomfortable or overlooked in this restaurant. In 2026, no customer should feel that way anywhere. When our food finally came, everything arrived at once -- our hummus, salad, and entrée -- which made the experience feel rushed and poorly handled. When I asked Brenda for more napkins, she never returned to our table. We eventually had to go to the register ourselves to pay because she never brought our check. Before leaving, I explained to her how the situation made me feel. She responded with several explanations about being busy and short staffed, but that was never the real issue. The issue was the way we were treated. She forgot who we were all night but when it came to pay my tab, she definitely knew what table we were sitting at because her response was. I'll get your tab for table 3.. The food was amazing as it has always been, but sadly the service we received completely ruined the experience. After nearly nine years of coming here, this will unfortunately be my last visit.
