Hands down the BEST falafel in Tucson. Seriously. Do yourself (and your taste buds) a favor and come experience this flavor explosion. The falafel is crispy perfection on the outside, soft and herby inside -- absolutely to die for. The hummus is silky, the baba ganoush has that rich smoky depth, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. This spot feels wildly underrated. It's small and casual, not fancy at all, but the food coming out of this kitchen is straight up divine. Service is fast, portions are generous, and they even have a drive-thru if you don't feel like getting out of your car (plus indoor and outdoor seating). Bonus: it's right next door to their Mediterranean market/grocery, so you can grab imported goodies after you eat. Flavor, value, and authenticity all in one stop. I'll absolutely be back.

Shish Tawook Mediterranean Salad
Ellen P.

You will never have a salad like this. Diced ripe tomato, slices of onion, Persian cucumber, chunks and crumbles of cheese, flavorful olives, herbs and sumac on top of hand chopped romaine. Then the chicken. It is poetry for the mouth. Silky spice robed chunks of moist skewered and barbecued meat, lavishly spread over the salad. The dressing is perfect as is the toumi. On top of all that, the food is served up by such friendly people in record time. Tucson is so fortunate!!

Falafel wrap
Evie S.

The falafel here is very well spiced and flavorful with enough herbs, coriander, cumin etc which I often find are lacking in other restaurants' falafel options in Tucson. It is served a little differently than I am used to (which makes sense given falafel is eaten in many countries and there are many variations and different ways it is served ) but since the falafel itself is very flavorful it hits the spot for me. The food here does seem to vary a little from time to time and once in a while I like it a little less but overall it's definitely by far my favorite falafel locally outside of home. Sometimes I like to get just the falafel balls and freeze some. They heat perfectly in the air-frier and on busy days I eat them with my favorite pita (by Angel Bakery -sold locally only at Whole Foods. I freeze the pitas and warm them up by steaming them) and my own toppings. I also liked their combo plate with falafel, baba ganouch and stuffed grape leaves (the filling was moist enough here when I tried them) It's a simple counter service place with a few tables inside and a few outdoor picnic 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!

The Original Gyro Sandwich
Genevieve M.

Kinda a fast food place with a few dine in tables and a drive thru. Reasonable prices for the wraps. The plates are typical of restaurant entrees prices but served in a styrofoam box for dine in option. The meats were seasoned decently. It wasn't bad food- it's just that I feel with so many options in the area the dishes didn't stand out to me. It seems to be a busy spot with non stop orders even post the lunch rush. Would I go grab a gyro there if that was the closest place and I was hungry- sure. Would I drive specifically there if I was craving a gyro or kebab - likely not. Again, not bad but didn't hit the spot for me.

Platter

We live fairly close to Caravan and have passed it many times, curious each time about what it's like. So finally we dedicated date night to exploring this place. Overall was a pretty enjoyable experience. The food was really good, we agreed we eat there again. The space is a small neighborhood restaurant/fast food vibe so not super fancy but well kept and quaint. Indoor and outdoor, next to the road. Service was simple and kind.

Lots of food, my picture is shawarma cut in half. Very mediocre. No seasoning on the shawarma. Just tastes burnt and heavily spiced. It needs lemon and salt. This type of pita isn't my favorite I prefer fluffy pita over flat. To make sandwiches a combo is $3.99. Fries were ok. Drink was tiny. I'm not sure what's so great about this place? Would not come back. It was $18. Service was fine.

Shish Tawook Plate
Christina Z.

We've primarily ordered Caravan Grill through DoorDash and have never been disappointed, but finally made it in-person for lunch and confirmed the deliciousness. The food is so flavorful - well-marinated meat dishes and light salads with a well-balanced dressing. Our favorites are the shish tawook (the grill on the kebab adds a nice char) plate which comes with rice, salad, and vegetable stew, and their shawarma sandwiches (my husband's favorite is the lamb) which you can turn into a combo for seasoned fries and a drink. Definitely one of our favorite Mediterranean restaurants in town.

Falafel Plate with pickles on the salad. Sooo good!!

I was out looking for dinner one evening and ran across Caravan Grill. It's a small place with a real family owned feel. We ordered the falafel plate and a falafel sandwich with fries. The falafel was really good, nice and crispy on the outside and full of flavor. The plate came with a salad and hummus, both were delicious but you can really taste the authenticity in the hummus. The sandwich was really good too, I wasn't sure if I'd like a falafel sandwich but it was great. They break the falafel up so it's easy to eat but still has texture. Since that night I've been back quite a few times and I will say that I've really grown to love this little restaurant. They have the best falafel I've had in Tucson and everything else has been top notch. The fries have some seasoning on them that has us addicted. The service is fast and friendly and as I said, has a real family owned vibe.

Falafel Plate

Ordered the falafel plate. Wow the falafel is so good and crunchy. Salad was fresh and delicious with big slices of tomato and cucumber. My boyfriend had fries with his sandwich and I had a couple and wanted to eat the entire basket. Whatever spice they use on the fries is 10/10. Next time I want to try their falafel sandwich. Definitely will be back. Plus their market next door is great.

The appetizer platter was a perfect takeout for dinner. The grape leaves, tabbouleh, falafel, baba ganoush, and hummus all tasted fresh.

I'm impressed. Hadn't found good, reasonably priced Persian food in Tucson until today. I'll be back to try more items soon.

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. Coated in lemon and olive oil and just the right salt and pepper it was a light delicious way to get your veggies. I will be back here frequently.

A lover of Mediterranean cuisine, I don't how I missed trying Istanbul Mediterranean Cuisine and…read moreBar. So my daughter, who has enjoyed Istanbul many times, took me there for Mother's Day. We arrived at 12:30 and they were slammed. No available parking, so my daughter dropped me off (so sweet) and parked a couple doors down. The dining room was packed and noisy. The young man who greeted us said he'd have a table in ten minutes or we could sit in the air conditioned patio area. That's what we did. The patio was quiet and a large fan blowing over a trough of ice kept us cool and comfortable. We started with an appetizer of hummus, tzatziki, pita, and dolmades, with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. The tzatziki was the best I've had. The sliced veggies were great so my celiac daughter could scoop the yummy spreads instead of pita. As lamb lovers, we ordered the lamb kabob plate and the lamb clay pot. The plate came with scrumptious rice, Greek salad, and sliced veg. The clay pot was filled with diced potatoes, tomatoes, and tender cubes of lamb, beautifully seasoned. So much delicious food! Our waiter offered dessert, but we were stuffed and settled for to-go boxes. I had an excellent lunch for two more days! As a big fan of Mediterranean food, I don't know how I could have missed Istanbul, but my first time surely won't be my last.
