    Gyro Platter
    Todd B.

    My wife and I went here for the first time today. Soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated (we had made a reservation being it was Fathers Day) the had a table reserved for us. Our waiter was Cole and we asked for recommendations and he gave us a few that turned out to be perfect for what we where hoping for. The food came out fresh and in a timely manner, and it tasted amazing! The flavors and the smells of everything was wonderful for us as we haven't really had this type of food before. We had the cheese sambousek and my wife had the gyro platter and I had the iskander kab platter and to finish it all off we had Om Ali with Turkish coffee. If I could give it more stars I would! We will be back now that we've a taste there is so much more I'm looking forward too. Great service from everyone we interacted with, Fair prices for the amount of food you get (it's a lot) and the atmosphere feels welcoming and comfortable.

    The food and flavors were just what we were looking for. The cold mezze was great, even though one component was sold out and subbed for something different. The portions of the skewers were a little small and the "made to order fries" weren't all that. Overall the family style service was great. The decor left a bit to be desired... specifically the roof tiles and the bathroom. Go for the food, sit at the bar and enjoy

    Aya was just a short walk from our hotel, and since it's a halal restaurant with great reviews, we decided to give it a try. We were warmly welcomed by two cheerful ladies, which made for a great first impression. We ordered the lamb tagine with rice and the chicken shawarma. The lamb tagine was outstanding--flavorful and tender--while the shawarma was good as well. It's a family-owned restaurant, and you can tell the food is made with love. The ambiance was simple and cozy, giving it a nice homey feel. For dessert, we tried their cheesecake, which was delicious. To top it off, the server generously offered us Moroccan coffee on the house. The coffee was amazing, but fair warning--don't drink it at night! It kept me awake until 3 in the morning . I enjoyed the coffee so much that I went back the next day just for it, but unfortunately, they don't offer it as a takeaway.

    Authentic Lebanese food ever Really the best Great service especially with authentic Lebanese family

    My wife and I went to Aya last night for dinner. Their Valentines menu was amazing. The food is the best in Melbourne. The owners and staff always make us feel special with their great service. Aya is definitely our go-to for the best Mediterranean Cuisine anywhere.

    Let me begin with the really cute establishment felt authentic. The menu was a real deal. We selected a few appetizers a couple of entrées. Everything was fresh and delicious. The hummus was amazing and the complementary coffee at the end was probably the single best shot of espresso I've ever had. Definitely recommend it if you're getting ready to come out for a night on the town or catch a concert.

    Mixed Grill Platter with rice.

    Walking in you're greeted with two sweet humans who helped us navigate the menu and provide beautiful recommendations. It was our first time and we went with the hummus and the mix grilled platter with rice. Everything had such fresh, bold and beautiful flavors. The garlic sauce served with the dish was such an excellent addition. Every bite was so delicious I wanted to order more before even finishing the meal I had. Definitely will be coming back to try all dishes and I couldn't recommend this place enough! Would give 10 starts if we could!

    My husband and I went there for a late lunch for a combination of early Motherhood Day and both of our birthdays! The restaurant is family -owned and both of the daughters were attentive to us, during our meal. I had tabbouleh and the lentil appetizer and my husband had dolmades for his appetizer, and I knew that from the amount of food that had arrived before our meal that one, I had ordered too much, and two, I would be bring food home!!! Steve ordered the beef shawarma platter and I ordered the Kafka platter. They both came with a saffron rice , which was mild and flavorful!! We ordered both pistachio and walnut baklava to go and were given some Lebanese coffee while we talked. We definitely enjoyed our meal and speaking with the young ladies about their culture, and will definitely be repeat customers!!!

    Really great food and excellent service. The baba and falafel wrap hit the spot, and the staff was very friendly.

    We happened to be in the area to take one of our pups to a specialty vet for some tests (she's fine…read morethank goodness!) so had a few hours for lunch before we could pick her up. Saw this Lebanese restaurant and jumped on it! It's in a strip mall but nice inside with some lovely photos and artwork from Lebanon. Tarek our server was so pleasant and helpful as we were deciding what to have for lunch. We both chose a combo platter and he recommended the salad and a delicious eggplant moussaka (Lebanese style, not Greek). The pita bread served with the meal was fresh and hot and the hummus was amazing (we judge all hummus to see if it stands up to the one Cafe Rakka in Hendersonville, TN serves and this one came close!). The lamb and chicken were both perfectly cooked and spiced - so delicious! Hubs had a wonderful Moroccan green tea. Tarek surprised us with a taste of the baklava and the basbousa - both were excellent - I had not had basbousa before. It is a semolina cake soaked in a sweet syrup - my new favorite middle eastern dessert. Honestly, we would drive here just to eat lunch again.

A little hidden gem. I had the vegetarian platter with baba ghanoush, hummus, bread, salad, falafel and tabouleh. It was fantastic! The flavor was there! The portions were great, and it's definitely something I would order again! I guess got the soup and cheese bread combo, which was delicious as well !! The service was very good. It's run by a family, and they're very sweet and kind and took very good care of us. When the restaurant was dead, except for the staff, but it was lovely with music in Arabic. I will definitely be back!

I personally did not feel the love as much as everyone else. The dining area was very small and hard to navigate with our party of 8. If you have a large party, consider ordering platters to go! Because there were already a few tables full, it took us a while to get our food. I had a falafel bowl that tasted ok, but left me hungry. For the price, I wanted to feel like I had a complete meal. Chicken eaters at the table did not enjoy the chicken and the gyro meat was dry and did not look as if it was cooked fresh. The review I saw online said they serve their food with a great garlic sauce, which I was excited about. However, the food actually came with honey mustard. We had to ask specifically for garlic sauce, but the honey mustard was already smothered on a platter. The menu didn't specify that the dish would come with honey mustard, so we didn't know to not ask for it. I would say now we know for next time, but there will not be a next time.

I decided to stop in for a lunch to go and pleasantly pleased with the interior of the restaurant. I ordered a shish kebab pita with a side of garlic sauce which ran me about $12. While I waited, I saw that this place has everything from cigars and hookah which I feel like would be a nice late afternoon/early evening vibe. I did have to wait for a little under 20 minutes, however there were no customers there. I was expecting my food to be hot for the time I waited. However, it was not. The beef pieces were a bit chewy for my liking and were bland. I wish it had more seasoning or grill marks. The pita and veggies inside were fresh and the garlic sauce was the star of the show. The garlic sauce definitely elevates the pita. Based on the reviews, this place is pretty good but maybe I caught them on a bad day. I would like to try their baklava as it was staring me down during my wait for my order.
