Some restaurants chase trends. Others just quietly keep making really good food year after year…read more This is one of those places. I'd been here several times years ago, and after coming back, I'm honestly wondering why I don't eat here more often. I ordered the chicken shawarma, a stuffed grape leaves platter, and hot tea. Everything was exactly what I hoped it would be. The chicken was well-seasoned, tender, and wrapped with the classic toppings, and the portion was fair for the price. Speaking of price, the value here is honestly hard to beat. The stuffed grape leaves platter came with hummus, tabbouleh, pita, and hot stuffed grape leaves. I had completely forgotten they serve them warm, and my brain needed a minute to recalibrate because I'm so used to cold dolmas everywhere else. Once I took a bite, though... yep. That's how they're supposed to taste. Soft, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I ended up adding some of the hummus and tabbouleh to my shawarma, which made an already great sandwich even better. The service was just as impressive as the food. My server was genuinely kind, gave me a few extra minutes when I couldn't decide, checked in without hovering, and even offered to package my hot tea to go when he noticed I was still working on it. (For the record, ordering an entire pot of tea for one person was an ambitious life choice on my part.) The dining room isn't huge, and there's also a small market attached, which adds to the charm. This place reminds me that consistency is underrated. Years later, I came back, and it was just as good as I remembered. Great food, great service, great value. I'll try not to wait so long before my next visit.

Thus, it might just make more sense to go to the physical location and buy tea, for what I assume, is better prices.

It was about time to leave a review for Malincho's!…read more I've moved to Tempe 3 years ago and I found this wonderful gem right on University Dr. I am Romanian and it's been hard to find similar foods from back home. Malincho's has a great variety of Bulgarian, Romanian and Eastern European foods and products. Every time I go there I find some nostalgic food and sweets I grew up with as well as the classic Romanian traditional foods like "Zacusca" , "Salam de Sibiu" , "Eugenia", "Mici" and many more. They also have freshly baked "plăcinte cu brânză" which they call "banitza" or something like that. All I know is that me and my American boyfriend never leave the place without a warm one. All the ladies there are so sweet and helpful and they also have great deals in their sale section! If you are Eastern European or just an adventurous foodie, you must try Malincho's!
