    I was staying nearby for the Mesa Marathon. I stopped here after the race to pick up lunch. It was located in Gateview Park and was pretty easy to find. Although the place looked rather empty at prime lunch time, I wanted to give them a try. Most customers seemed to be doing to-go orders as well. I ordered their ribeye beef kabob plate and took it back to my room to enjoy. The lady working out front was very nice and friendly. The guys in the kitchen were a talkative bunch. I didn't understand them and I wasn't in a hurry so I didn't mind if it took a tad longer for the food to be ready. The food was good and was perfect for a post-marathon meal!

    Chicken

    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.

    I got the beef and lamb salad

    Stopped by for a quick lunch for the first time. Food was amazing and big portions too. Very friendly staff. The cook Haydar was friendly and inviting. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area.

    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

    Gyro Plate
    Nicole G.

    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! :)

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    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.

    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!

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

    The food here is just great and I love it. We come often. What annoys me beyond words is that they request a tip before the order is even finished. On the counter is one of those machines for your credit/debit card and several tipping options appear. This is basically adding money to the price they charge and I fail to see the reason any customer should do it. Tips are for sit-down service or for big, complicated orders . . . situations where the employee does something extra or especially well, not when s/he does exactly what the job is. This needs to end!

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

    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.

Everything was very good, and the sauce on the pizza was especially excellent. Service was good -- not great, but good. The DJ actually added some nice ambience to the place and gave the restaurant a good vibe. Now here's my problem. This is a BIG restaurant. I'm not talking about some tiny little neighborhood place where they have to squeeze every table into every corner. Yet somehow, they sat the four of us right next to the server computer station, where the staff is constantly coming and going, punching in checks, picking things up, walking back and forth -- the whole time you're trying to eat dinner. And to make it worse, that table is close to the front door. This is Arizona. Every time that door opens, you get a blast of heat. I can only imagine in colder weather you'd get the opposite problem. I've been around restaurants a long time, and some tables just shouldn't be tables. That's one of them. I understand nobody wants to give up a four-top, but in a restaurant that size, come on. Move the table or get rid of it. The guest experience should be worth more than squeezing in four extra seats. The food absolutely deserves a return visit. Just do yourself a favor if they try to seat you by that computer station near the front door, ask for another table.

Every detail you notice is extravagant and purposeful. Visiting on a Saturday for lunch, there were plenty of other families eating together too. I noticed the crowd was mostly older, which lets you know this restaurant is a true staple in the community (I find that usually the old people know what's up). As all 4 of us weren't super hungry, we split the Persian Room Special- Combination of barg (Filet mignon), chicken filet and Koobideh kebab, served with basmati rice and grilled tomato. It was a huge portion of food, served on a large silver platter. The menu states that it serves 2, but it perfectly filled us 4 adults! Granted, we weren't super hungry to begin with, but 2 is definitely an underestimate. I'd say it can easily satisfy 3 hungry adults. Anyway, quantity aside, THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Everything was so flavorful and paired well together. The meat was also juicy. My favorite was the koobideh kebab for sure. There isn't much more I can say, as the food speaks for itself. The Persian Room is definitely something you need to try for yourself. Weeks later, I'm still craving it and will definitely be back!

While the remaining food tasted great, the discovery left me feeling grossed out for the remainder of the meal. Overall, the atmosphere and flavors are excellent, but the hygiene slip brings my rating down to 3/5 stars

The restaurant was empty so we have no clue why they had to sit us there. The manager walked by a few times and didn't even acknowledge us. He'd meet our eyes and he looked super angry. The busser came by and gave us water about 5 min after we sat. At 315- the server that I watched laughing and doing nothing at the bar came over and finally asked if we needed anything. When I told her that we were actually leaving because it had been several minutes- she looked at me and was like it's only been like 5. No maam we walked in at 3 and now it's 316. Went to elephante instead. As a retired server myself- there were so many mistakes here. If you are busy, you still need to acknowledge people. As the manager when you see a table just sitting there talk to them instead of cleaning the table in front of us. Truly felt like it was because we had 3 12 year olds with us. Not sure if I will ever go back.
