The meat was perfectly seasoned, the veggies were fresh and crisp, the pita was warm and soft, and the tzatziki brought everything together perfectly. The atmosphere was low-key and relaxing, making it a great spot to sit down and enjoy a meal. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the service was excellent. A big shoutout to Meraj for being friendly, attentive, and making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Great food, great service, and a relaxing ambiance--we'll definitely be back!

Note: there was one table with 8-10 people sitting inside. One table on patio with 2 people. There were 3 employees standing at front counter!? Shelby's website said they were open. I called Slice and they said that Shelby's was closed? I said I am here right now they are open. ?? In talking to several of my neighbors it appears this is happening to others. They have experienced the same treatment order pizza on the app Slice and get to Shelby's only to be told they canceled it.?! I would suggest if Shelby's doesn't want to go orders communicate that so folks are aware. Cancel the Slice app. I did call Slice corporate to report. I have referred many customers to them, unfortunately I will not be doing that anymore. Extremely poor customer service!

Try the cabbage slaw, stuffed cabbage, and the meatballs - all beautifully prepared and seasoned perfectly. Highly recommended.

Looking over the menu everything sounded fabulous. The owner took my order and when I asked for the shish kebab he said "not the best". So I asked for his suggestion. He said I would like the meatballs better and that they were lighter. Well I listened and he was right. They treat you like family here and want you to like what they make you. My husband had the goulash and it was also spectacular. The salad before the meal was also a surprise star.

We found ourselves strolling 4th Ave around 6:30pm on a Monday evening with the intention of…read morespontaneously grabbing a bite. Despite some key sports events going on (World Cup U.S. round of 16) this once bustling shopping/dining avenue was eerily quiet. Indeed, we both couldn't help but notice the number of venues that were permanently closed and the degree to which nearly every window (occupied or closed) had etched or soaped graffiti all over it. One block off of 4th Ave (on 6th St) we saw Opas Grill (not to be confused with "Opa's Best Greek" at Broadway/Swan!) and headed in. Two small screens above the corner bar area were displaying the soccer game. Of the roughly 16 tables between the two dining rooms only three were occupied. We were greeted promptly and tended to graciously. She got the Dinner Gyro Wrap with the salad side ($15) and I got the Dinner Gyro Salad ($16). They arrived in less than 10 minutes with both protein portions of decent size and piping hot. The salads were fresh/crisp with no wilted anything and dressings were on the side, as requested. Note: the wrap was a bit sloppy due to juices but good flavors for both entrees and we polished them off. The lone disappointment was the Honey Old Fashioned cocktail (average) and in hindsight we should have tried one of their Mastiha drinks (a deliciously unique liquor that's endemic to Greece). The entrance is kind of hidden/recessed about 25 feet deep from the sidewalk. Bonus, there's a small private parking lot (free) that's right beside the building. Final Note: 3% is added to any non-cash payment.

Of…read moreall of the dining rooms we have seen in Tucson this is by FAR the most elegant ambiance in all of the Tucson area: massive vaulted ceilings with intricantly painted sky scenes, gorgeous drapery, seemingly marble columns, tiled floors, and deluxe tables, chairs and booths! And that is NOTHING compared to their food! They first provided pita, mint leaves and sliced onion. Ann had their "chicken Barg" with exquisitely tasty basmati rice and vegetables. I had the Lamb Koobideh-A mixture of ground lamb minced onions and seasonings, skewered and broiled. Tender, wonderfully seasoned and one of the most tasty meats I have ever had! Lank, our server, was conservatively attired, quiet and yet very friendly, well informed, and professional. It would make a most elegant wedding reception that the newlyweds would remember for the rest of their lives. It was a little more pricey than we would normally spend for a typical night out, but this was a deferred Mother's Day outing, and the portions were very generous (I just had the second half for a next day dinner)!

Their pita is really thin and not my favorite and the falafel, although fried well, is fairly bland for me/ not seasoned the way I prefer it. I liked the filling of the spinach pastries, these are pretty simple in terms of flavor but I enjoyed dipping them in the hummus and Baba ganoush. I ate here once for lunch as well as one time for a complimentary dinner meal they generously offered in a giveaway collaboration with Tucson Food Tours. The owner seemed kind. During the complimentary meal I shared the table with other people who got selected to participate and several of them have never had middle eastern food before. The owner was welcoming and informative to them and in general seemed lovely. The food tasted fresh and made with care. The first time I came on my own I was a little confused on whether it was table service or counter service, still not sure if that shifts depending on the day and time. They have a patio with outdoor tables. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!
