    Chicken
    Valerie G.

    I got the shishtawook plate and was so excited to eat this up because it smelt good and looked delicious. Let me start with the positive, staff is friendly and the rice was literally some of the best tasting and seasoned rice I've ever had. However, the chicken was very chewy and tough to eat. I don't think they are using quality chicken which sucks. I was only able to eat one piece and couldn't get myself to eat the rest. The hummus was ok, smooth but didn't taste like much. Overall, pretty disappointing for the price.

    Perfectly seasoned fries.

    Today we returned for lunch and it was again delightful. We both had the beef shawarma pitas with garlic sauce and split an order of the best fries we've ever eaten. Holy cow we will be back again soon.

    Green and grainy

    Another nasty falafel from a hot and unfriendly place. The lettuce hiding inside the falafel tube was black and disgusting. The falafel was grainy and undercooked and tasteless and a gangly green color. The hostess barely could say hello and thanks and they obviously do not care to use the air conditioning on a 110 day. $10 waste. Nasty

    Devious food and great service. Popped in after my workout and I was so hungry and this place delivered! I had the chicken schwarma platter with chicken, rice, a salad, and hummus. Served with a warm pita. Oh so delicious! The hummus was flavorful, the chicken tender, everything was delish. I will definitely be back.

    Gyro Plate

    OUTSTANDING FOOD. When I walked in the restaurant was extremely clean. All the tables were clean and filled with utensils, condiments and such a clean table top! It made me want to sit there and eat and I would have had I not had to rush back to work. The menu wasn't too crowded with tons and tons of dishes to choose from which was helpful since it was my first visit. I chose the gyro plate which came with gyro meat (a generous portion), delicious rice, a yummy fresh salad and the BEST hummus I've had in quite a while. They even packed a side of warm pita bread which as a delightful addition for the hummus. The minute I brought it back to the office it was still piping hot and absolutely delicious. So delicious that I called the restaurant to thank them and share truly how much I enjoyed my meal and was so happy I stopped by! Furthermore told them they acquired a new reoccurring customer! :)

    Slender shwarma tube of mostly burnt tiny chicken bits in a raw-ish tortilla.

    Being new to the area I was excited to try new shwarma places, I tried another place a couple of days ago and it was great so I thought I'd give this place a try. Sadly I'm one out of two, as this food and experience were both seriously lacking. The attendant although not rude wasn't very attentive/friendly either (lots of looking at his phone). By the way the place was empty when I arrived. Mediocre would be a compliment as to the quality of the food I was served. The chicken wrap I ordered was a slender tube filled with mostly burnt tiny bits of chicken. The tortilla itself tasted semi-raw. Then there's the side of mayo? I think it was supposed to be hummus but had a mayo like look and consistency...except it was also somewhat runny! This for over $19?! Btw their pricing seems to be all over the place as well. They have big posters on their doors advertising $11.xx (or $12.xx) chicken or beef shawarma combos, on their website they have a combo and a plate for two different prices one of which $17.95...so I was charged that amount I think? I don't know for sure because the attendant didn't provide me a receipt. I guess have to see if I can go two for three with this place on my never return list.

    When I say this is the best Mediterranean food my wife and I have had is an understatement. They have the best garlic sauce, amazing rice not over cooked or mushy, and chicken shawarma perfectly seasoned! I have to shout out their lentil soup, perfect consistency and amazing taste. We go here once a week!

    False advertisement. The beef shawarma combo is $18.95 not $12.99.

    The food was decent, but definitely overpriced. The sign outside clearly advertised a beef shawarma sandwich combo with fries and a drink for $12.99. We ordered two of those combos, but it was actually $18.95 each, over $40 total. After noticing the sign again from the car, we went back inside to ask about the price difference. The staff dismissed it, saying it was a "different combo," which made no sense since nothing was explained when we placed the order. To make it worse, they laughed about it as we left. The $12.99 combo isn't listed anywhere inside, only outside the door, which feels misleading. Between the rude service and the bait-and-switch pricing, I left regretting not going to Detroit Coney Grill next door instead.

    Beef Shawarma Plate Side of gyro extra tzatziki sauce. Let me start off by saying genuinely surprised this place was empty. It is a small but very clean place. Tender and incredibly well seasoned beef and gyro. The humus garlic sauce just complimented both meats so well. If you've never had middle eastern food I suggest you start here, everything was fresh flavorful and healthy. The owner was friendly and helpful.

    Counter and the machine that wants you to tip even before they fix your order.

    The chickens was good, but the beef was really not good. Over use of star of anise made the beef taste really have a not favorable flavor.

The scallops melted in my mouth and they were absolutely delicious. My husband's braised ribs were delicious as well, the mashed potatoes were smooth. We wish we saved room for dessert! Highly recommend for your next date night! We made reservations the morning before and they had availability. I would recommend reservations to secure a table since this place is very popular over the weekend.

    Look! I wrote it here, wanker!!…read more Thankfully this place has pictures of the food so you can point and grunt. So I feel safe posting cuz dbag doesn't read just has 8-pac abs-- still dumb tho Had to edit review bc he asked if they do catering as he always flies from UK to this dbag thing on Mummy Mountain in Paradise Valley every year and always complains about the food and demanded me to call/ask if they do catering. 2 hours before the event Yo. No. Bro. Not same day, dick! He'd rather have anything off the menu from this place to cater with a 2 hr lead up to whatever the F Intl Paradise Valley finance bros do aside from making his best friend take "dictation". Emphasis on dick. Hahaha, satisfied? ---- Well-- this rich London asshole is back in town. "Cheap flights why not? We get 6 weeks holiday anyway just to start." Told me to write and rave again. Because he has servants to do all that- total knob. Word for word: "The second I am through customs, this is always my tradition for the lovely senoras marinating and cooking the best kebabs ever." Not quite AI/Google translate: My friend is the world's hugest snob and nob. This is the exact place you take your most high maintenaince Paradise Valley/Resorts off Camelback, Old Town clubbers. The world is a show. At least enjoy amazing Middle Eastern food cooked by the loveliest señors because latin don't mess around when it comes to marinade, bbq--- everything! Gracias mujeres for always making my UK friend give him a reason to live for!! He's totally going to hate me. But he can't move after how much he ordered!! You all always make him smile and laugh. Best part about today-- you even got a new customer in from Paris. I recommended Chicken Shwarma, Babba, Hummus, Greek salad--- mentioned douchebag London finance bro omg he is so lost in life if this place (no offense) is his 1st stop off the plane in America. Only met Paris, France peeps cuz my buddy is such a pain in the ass so I talk to anyone else! Hope it's not my last review. I think I can survive any dumbass attacks.

Romantic and semi casual all rolled up into one. Very clean restaurant and restrooms. The drinks, food, and dessert were all incredible. Very nice wine list also

    There is a small note at the bottom of Virtù Honest Craft's dinner menu saying that, with 48 hours'…read morenotice and a minimum of six people, the kitchen will prepare a whole suckling pig dinner. That tiny note is one of the great understatements in Scottsdale dining. What it really means is: bring people you like, clear your calendar, abandon moderation, and prepare for a full-scale feast. Eight of us booked it. At $200 per person before alcohol, and with a wine list good enough to encourage thoroughly defensible excess, this is not a casual dinner. But the first board hit the table and any concern about value disappeared. The charcuterie spread looked less like an appetizer and more like the catering plan for a small celebration: ribbons of prosciutto, mortadella, salami, sweet and spicy sausages, imported buffalo mozzarella, piles of cheeses, fruit, nuts, grilled peppers glossed with olive oil, toasted bread, and a large bowl full of premium Italian cheese made from the milk of Mediterranean water buffaloes - true "bufala." We barely made a dent in it. The single best bite I had all night may have been the simplest: bread, buffala, those peppers, and a generous fold of prosciutto. Salty, creamy, sweet, smoky, rich. One of those bites that shuts down conversation for a moment. Then came the pasta course: huge paccheri, almost obscenely generous, cooked exactly right and coated in a deep, meaty sauce that tasted as though it had been simmering all day for this exact purpose. There were grilled sausages too, plus a warm, fiery n'duja condiment that made an already indecent meal even more indecent. And then there was the arugula salad - simple, sharp, properly dressed, shaved with parmigiano, somehow good enough that later, when we went around the table naming favorite bites of the night, more than one person picked the salad. That tells you something important: this was not just abundance. This was abundance with standards. Then the pig arrived. Whole. Burnished. Beautiful. The skin was the kind of thing people spend years chasing and almost never find: not merely crisp, but shatteringly, absurdly crisp - paper-thin, glassy, almost like caramelized lacquer. Underneath was luscious, fatty, slow-roasted pork that managed to be rich without losing its structure. Put a piece of that skin on top of a little meat and rendered fat and the effect is almost unfair: the greatest pork imaginable riding on the greatest cracker ever made. The potatoes alongside were outrageous - roasted to that perfect point where the edges are savage and the interiors go soft, clearly acquainted with pork fat and every blessing it can bestow. The greens held their own. Nothing on the platter felt like an obligation. Everything deserved to be there. By then the table was already wrecked in the happiest possible way, and yet dessert still came out in what felt like a parade: chocolate - the sticky toffee kind, butterscotch budino, gelati, and more sweets than eight people had any business facing after everything that preceded them. It was excessive, theatrical, and completely in keeping with the meal. The kitchen had chosen its thesis early - pleasure without apology - and saw it through to the end. What made this dinner memorable was not just the scale, though the scale was frankly ridiculous. We all left with full bags of leftovers, each one loaded with containers from different courses, and it still felt as though the meal could have fed another full table. Plenty of restaurants can overwhelm you with quantity. Very few can do it while making each component feel like the best version of itself. The mozzarella. The peppers. The pasta. The salad. The pig skin. The potatoes. The luxurious pudding. Nothing felt like filler. Nothing felt mailed in. This meal felt like Thanksgiving, Easter, a wedding dinner, and a fiftieth anniversary feast all rolled into one, then tightened up by a kitchen that knows exactly what it is doing. It was glorious, yes, but more importantly it was precise. If you have six to eight people who genuinely love to eat, book the whole suckling pig dinner at Virtù Honest Craft. It is one of the great shared feasts I have ever had anywhere. It's my new death penalty meal.
