It's Friday night at 7pm and we Dropped by as we were in the area... which is a little shady which…read moreshould have been my first clue of things to come. This restaurant is Located in a "Class C center "... clue #2. When we entered we were the only people inside as another couple was leaving with take-out. While we waited to order we failed to see any employees for a few minutes.. clue #3. Finally a woman in middle eastern attire showed up & we ordered. 1 Greek salad with Gyro meat & 1 Gyro platter with yellow rice, French fries, hummus & pita bread. 15 minutes later it was ready & we were ready to pay for it. Clue #4. The Greek salad was small & the meat was not those long cuts of delicious lamb, but rather tidbits or remnants of lamb pieces. No Feta cheese to be found either. It was edible but underwhelming. My platter was anything but a platter... because it all was crammed into a styrofoam box with little compartments. The lamb was a super small portion of the same chopped lamb remnants more like lamb hash. The rice was white not yellow...I ordered fries and got a morsel of salad instead....no hummus present but I think it was babaganoush... and no pita bread anywhere to be found! What a disaster! Now I'm mad that I left a Tip. Furthermore the prices on the in store menu are not the same as your final ticket. I was charged $16.99 for my platter when the menu clearly states $15.99. This was the most disappointing Mediterranean food I have ever had in the 11 years living in this area. I usually love supporting local independent businesses but in this case I highly recommend you DO NOT support this Family business until they improve the Food, the service & the prices Charged. We in Boca Raton know better Food and deserve better than this attempt. As a YELP Elite reviewer and a Food & Beverage Executive I'll state that This restaurant isn't worthy of our residents support.

A small neighborhood Mediterranean eatery with excellent food…read more We came by for a Thursday lunch. Other than a few people getting meals to go, we were the only ones there. The TV noise was a bit annoying, but I suppose it keeps the restaurant from seeming so empty? Maybe music would be a nice alternative. Despite the too-quiet surroundings, the food was excellent. i ordered the beef and lamb schawarma bowl and my wife ordered the chicken schawarma bowl. Everything has a great taste and was fresh - the grilled meal, the hummus, the pickles, the yellow rice. Please support this deserving neighborhood joint! Order something to go or for delivery, or even stop in for a fast casual meal.

Hands down my new favorite Mediterranean restaurant! Nice ambiance minus the tiny table for one to…read moretwo ppl; if you want to sample many things it becomes cramped. My server was super knowledgeable; I appreciated his suggestions and his desire to ensure I enjoyed everything I ate/drank. The food was amazingly good. The fresh pita bread with the classic hummus (best I've had) was a total win, add the pepper jelly like condiment to it created a kaleidoscope of flavors in my mouth. I literally wanted to sit there the whole night and just eat that. Eventually I added Whole Branzino and Summer salad. Tried the special 'bitter' cocktails, they were very good but not my favorite; I'll have to acquire that taste some more. Returning in a couple weeks. Can't wait! Hoping they have the pistachio cheesecake.

AVOID MOTEK BOCA RATON AT ALL COSTS…read more I made a reservation and provided my credit card as required. Approximately 90 minutes before the reservation, Motek texted me to say the restaurant's air conditioning was not working. I canceled only because of the conditions they reported and specifically asked for confirmation that I would not be charged the $40 reservation fee. Motek assured me in writing that I would not be charged. They charged me anyway. Since then, I have sent two emails, left five voicemails, and made approximately 20 unanswered phone calls. Not one person from the restaurant has acknowledged the issue or offered any assistance. I have now been forced to open a fraud claim with my bank. Even more disturbing, my bank informed me that Motek apparently processed the charge as a recurring monthly payment--not simply a one-time reservation charge. I never authorized Motek to establish recurring payments of any kind. Charging me after explicitly promising not to do so was unacceptable. Refusing to respond after dozens of attempts to resolve the issue has made the situation even worse. I will never give this restaurant my business, and I will actively warn others about this experience. Any establishment that requires access to customers' credit cards should be held accountable for how that information is used. Based on the unauthorized charge, its apparent designation as a recurring payment, and management's complete failure to respond or be reachable by phone, web, or email, I strongly recommend avoiding Motek Boca Raton.

I tend to pop in for lunch at this local spot serving middle eastern cuisine - think shawarma,…read morefalafel, meat skewers, rice, etc. They also offer build your own bowls and salads. For a few more dollars, French fries and soda can be added to make it a meal. My typical go-to is the shawarma sandwich wrapped in a warm pita. It's a nice portion but the sandwich alone may not be enough for bigger eaters. It's reasonably priced for lunch. Plenty of indoor seating to escape the Florida heat. There's also outdoor seating on the side of the restaurant. The restaurant is located right by the train station on Yamato Road - it would be convenient to order and take away for a train ride meal. The pita sandwich is tightly wrapped to make for neater eating. Shish Grill also offers catering. Free parking is available in the lot in front of the restaurant.

I want to first start this review by saying I LOVE DVASH in Boca!…read more Did you know DVASH means "honey"? Well, that's how sweet all of the service employees were. I apologize for not taking a single picture, I went to have dinner with a friend I haven't seen in a very long time. We went for their Happy Hour from 4-6PM. I started off with a Lemon Nana cocktail, the hummus plate, and the Shuk Salad. Everything was DELICIOUS! I can't rave about it more. This is my new "date" spot or after work dinner spot. Did I mention that the location is beautiful? Well it is! Highly highly recommend!

The restaurant still feels too small, the portions have gotten noticeably smaller, and the prices have increased significantly for what you receive. On top of that, the service has gone downhill and no longer feels as attentive or welcoming as it once did. It's disappointing to see a place we used to enjoy so much decline in both value and overall experience. I hope they can make improvements because we'd love to enjoy it the way we used to.

There are not enough Turkish places around and so glad to see Marash!…read more I stopped in to pick up some food to bring home, and I must now say, I have to go back and dine in! I didn't think I would enjoy the food as much as I did. Marash seems to be quite understated, simple, no frills, but it definitely delivers well in both flavor and friendliness. I love that they're in the same plaza as my neighborhood Trader Joe's tons of parking! And I was able to go in and out quickly before ordering ahead. The location is quite small, but enough tables to dine in from what I saw since it didn't seem to be too busy when I stopped in. I got some tea and the lamb kebab to go, and loved that they prepared it quickly and fresh right in front of me. I was super happy when I got home and it was just as delicious as what I was smelling in the car I was salivating! I'm not surprised they have great reviews, and I can't wait to dine in next time.

We're really into staying healthy, and this place never disappoints--everything is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.

We're always greeted by Memo, who is genuinely the best and makes us feel so welcome every time. If you're looking for delicious, fresh Mediterranean food, this place is a must!

My attitude was simple: it's about celebrating my friend. I'm so glad I did because this visit completely changed my mind. The restaurant's new location (where Mellow Mushroom used to be) is beautiful, spacious, and has a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for gathering with friends. Since we were sharing, we sampled a little of everything, and it was all delicious. Favorites included the falafel, Lebanese moussaka, crispy Brussels sprouts with Aleppo date glaze, baba ghanouj, classic hummus, Rocca beet salad, and the fresh, flavorful fattoush salad. Every dish was colorful, well-seasoned, and perfect for sharing around the table. The drinks kept flowing, and everyone was having a great time. To celebrate the birthday, we finished with an orange olive oil cake and a rich dark chocolate cake with sauce--both were wonderful endings to a fantastic meal. A special shout-out to our server, Ariana, who was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind to everyone at the table. She helped make the evening even more enjoyable. This visit completely changed my opinion of the restaurant. Great food, a beautiful new space, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere made for a memorable evening. What a beautiful transition! We needed that. Thank you for proving me wrong--I will definitely be back!

The lamb chops were great with mint pesto and very puffy rice, tho they came out a bit over done (I ordered them medium and they were closer to medium well).
