    Best Lebanese food hands down! Have gotten to know the family a little bit from ordering lunch on a fairly regular basis and they are some of the best people you could ever hope to meet! My favorite dishes are the beef and lamb gyro, and the beef and lamb over rice. I could eat it everyday and never get tired of it. Please if you're near the emerald square mall check them out. You'll be glad you did

    Hello, we love our Greek foods, so not new to gyros, or shwarma....that being said. It's a mall fast food place....but, awesome beef shwarma, especially with the garlic/tahini sauce. I hate malls, but come here for this!!!

    Falling apart Chicken Gyro.
    Tim G.

    Got a chicken gyro here today. The woman running the counter was nice. Huge portions of food! Chicken itself was decent. Kinda skimped on lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. Wasn't a fan of the taste to the pita bread. The flatbread stuck to the foil when I was trying to unwrap it, because it was nice and fresh. However, Warm lettuce, onion turned me off as far as taste goes. Not terrible, but not great either. Probably wouldn't visit again. The Snapple was good though!

    If you're like me you can't shop without stopping for a meal. Had a delicious vegetarian falafel adding my own toppings of veg and boy did it hit the spot. And they're COVID safe which was a plus for me Bc the mall can be a very dangerous place considering the traffic. The gentleman who took care of me was very efficient and practice safety by first washing his hands and than wearing gloves; wore his mask correctly, while coming into the direct contact with my food. So I Def recommend this place it you're in the emerald mall. Extensive options on the menu. The veg menu caught my eye Bc I am a new pescatarian and although no seafood option I was pleased to see the veg menu. In the picture is my vegetarian falafel and my mango frozen iced drink all for an affordable price of $10.

    A solid decent food place, but not somewhere I would go again. I was expecting a lot better because of the reviews, so I was disappointed. I stopped in here today after talking with a man on the phone a few days prior. When I spoke with the gentleman on the phone, I asked if they put fries in the gyro because that's how I like them best. He responded with, "we don't usually but we can." Perfect. Today, I stopped by and there was a line of four people. I waited in line and when it was my turn to order the lady asked what I would like. I replied with "a chicken gyro with fries inside." She got it started for me. Then, another guy took over the order. He asked what I wanted and I repeated my order. He said okay and continued making my order. Now, it was time for me to check out. He grabbed my gyro and went to go cash me out. I asked him, "is that my gyro?" He said yes and then I asked him if there were fries in it. He said, "no we don't do that." Then, I proceeded to tell him about the phone conversation I had three days prior. He told me that I had to order it that same day and then he asked me if I wanted fries on the side and I told him no that I wanted them inside. In the end, he ended up just unwrapping my whole gyro and just putting fries in there. Didn't make me a new one. So now when I went to go eat the gyro the fries were falling out from the top because they were not incorporated in the gyro. As for the gyro itself, it's not really full of flavor. I was expecting stronger spices in the tzatziki and I was expecting more toppings as options for the sandwiches.

    Refreshing option for mall food in Emerald Square. The service is great. The people who work here are super nice! The owner noticed my boyfriend, who didn't order anything, waiting in line with me and prepared him a small plate of salad and falafel to try. This was such a sweet and unexpected gesture. The schwarma plate is pretty decent and they have a small variety of dressings for your salad. The falafel balls were good, though I would have preferred them to be a bit warmer. I agree with others that it won't be the best falafel place you'll try, but still worth a try and quite fresh for its genre. I love that this place provides shoppers a healthy option and a different cuisine, especially in this particular mall where the food court isn't very diverse (two pretzel joints, three chinese spots, a burger king, two lame chain sub shops, and a Spike's).

    I tried this out as a healthier option to a burger or steak and cheese. I should've just got the burger. I literally wasted my money on this place. I got a steak shawarma wrap and it was almost inedible due to the steak. Old and dry and chewy. Not a good combo.

    Steak gyro. Really tasty!!

    Great spot in Emerald Square! I'm a huge fan of the shawarma pita, and they have one of the best hummus dip.

    While we are accustomed to seeing older homes in New England, I see far less operating as…read morerestaurants or Inns. That said, this building's been standing since 1849. Deep red walls, wide-plank floors, framed portraits of people long gone, a fireplace; this place has the kind of character you simply can't manufacture. Add a live jazz duo playing piano and upright bass in the corner and the atmosphere is close to perfect. We settled in at the bar, which has a decent whiskey selection, and started with cocktails. We also shared the kale and butternut squash salad; we asked them to add a goat cheese medallion from their spinach salad, and honestly it was the right call. That bright, creamy note was exactly what the salad needed...or maybe what I needed. I do love fried goat cheese on a salad. Either way, it was perfect. Then came the cranberry rolls, which were the quiet star of the afternoon; crunchy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. Don't skip these. For mains, I had the breakfast skillet, which is essentially everything but the kitchen sink loaded into a cast iron pan. Heavily loaded with meat (Arby's would be jealous), homefried potatoes with satisfying crusty bits, a couple over medium eggs, and served sizzling hot. The cheese sauce draped over the top was lighter than you'd expect, landing somewhere between a béarnaise and a classic cheese sauce; it kept the whole thing from getting too heavy. It took a while to work through, and that's not a complaint. My partner had the butternut squash and brown butter sage ravioli. It was well-cooked, flavorful, not too rich, though a little more sage would have put it over the top. The bartender had a good sense of humor and clearly knew his way around the bar. The problem was that he was doing too much; he appeared to be his own bar back, serving the six people at the bar, waiting on the tables within the lounge area, and it appeared he was covering other tables outside of the lounge area as well. He was often away, and with salad plates, appetizer plates, and menus sitting in front of us long after they were needed, the clutter added up. Pre-bussing costs nothing and makes a real difference. Tighten up the staffing model and this place is a very easy five. If you're in the area, you should stop in and check it out for yourself. I'm not sure if the jazz duo on Sunday brunch is a regular occurrence, but if it is, you should definitely make a point of it. They were wrapping up around 2:30-3:00 and it made the whole afternoon feel like something a little more special than just brunch.

    The place looked like a super cute and quaint place for a nice girl's dinner so went ahead and made…read moreeasy Saturday night reservations via Open Table. The parking is as difficult as all the reviews state - so as my fellow yelpers recommended, if the lot looks full, it's full - just park at the CVS and walk over. It's way too tight to wait around and maneuver for a spot. Walking into the place reminds you of being welcomed into a friend's comfy home. We were seated in a back room that felt cozy. Bernie was our server and he was a delight, super personable and attentive. For apps, we had the 1/2 size eggplant rollatini and 1/2 size spinach and goat cheese salad. Rollatini was good, salad was umm interesting - had a ton of fruit on it with a dressing I didn't love but it wasn't bad, just not sure I'd get it again. Onto the entrees - everyone really enjoyed their meals (short ribs and seafood cardinale) except me lol. My side pasta with pink vodka was good but my Chicken Rossini (labeled as a staff favorite) wasn't bad, it just had a flavor I didn't care for, a little bit of salt did help it but I wouldn't get it again. We enjoyed our visit very much and I would def come back to try other options. All of the staff were wonderful. Bernie mentioned to come back during the summer months as they have the patio open. Perhaps we shall when the weather is nicer and we might even luck out with a parking spot.....
