We tried this place for the first time since we work across the street . They have a lot of lamb on their menu which we are not fans of but that's ok . We order the beef shawarma because it wasn't lamb but as soon as i bit into it i tasted lamb . It was very gamy .my coworker and I were like this has to be lamb . It's gross . We ask that non personable waitress if we ordered lamb or beef and she said it's beef but cooked in lamb fat . Please if ur gonna do that put it in ur menu because u can taste the gamy lamb . We paid 45 dollars for lunch and it was gross . That's something you should have told us if we are ordering beef . The rude waitress just walked away and we were not even done talking to her . No we will not be going back . If you like lamb and gamy meat this place is for you but as a non lamb eater i thought it was gross . Oh I forgot to mention the meat was also cold and very fatty . read more

Went here after a workout and got the chicken shawarma wrap meal and it was much larger than I expected! Delicious too! The garlic sauce was surprisingly good (I usually don't do well with creamy sauces but this one wasn't heavy) the fries were hot and crispy and delicious! They even have a bar area with a lot of beer choices and I think some hard liquor. Seems like a good spot for an after work meal with a friend! I ordered at the counter then sat down to eat, but you can also ask for menus and sit down and order. Was nice to have the option. Everyone there was pleasant! The ladies bathroom was clean and had cute wallpaper. Since this is a new place everything was very clean as you might hope it would be. Hope they do well in the coming years and continue to grow their business! read more

Charcoal Grill - Chicken Shawarma Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

You can smell the delicious aroma from outside. When you walk in look to your right and you will see the bed of charcoals with the shawarmas cooking on spits. The food was fresh and generous. The mixed tikka plate was delicious, with the meats tender and juicy. It can take time; for instance they chop the touboulah ingredients after ordered. We plan to try many more dishes. Parking tip: lots more on north side of the restaurant which is to the east of EOS. read more

This place is amazing! My sister and I shared the Tikka plate and it was sooo good. There was a lot of chicken very large salad hummus to die for and the rice was so buttery. Service was so attentive to our needs. Will definitely be coming back read more

Charcoal Grill - Chicken Tikka Plate (Tawook) Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Delicious food! Wonderful service. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed. Even got to taste the yogurt drink and it reminds me of buttermilk or keifer. I liked it but it may not be to everyone's taste. Tacos were amazing. So we're the fries. read more

We love this restaurant! As in previous reviews I have shared, this non chain, local restaurant is amazing! Friendly service, fresh food, and reasonable prices. This is one of our favorite restaurants to take guests. We went last night with our niece, visiting from VA, our daughter and granddaughter. Everyone loved their food choices. We had the chicken tikka platter, lamb platter, beef shawarma platter, and beef kabob platter. The salad was so fresh, and the meats cooked to perfection. Some people had fries and some had rice, neither is a wrong choice! We ended with a few baklava and a scoop of ice cream. Everyone was comfortably full when we left, and I know the leftovers I brought home will taste just as good as yesterday! The best Middle Eastern food on the west side (probably entire Phoenix area), hands down. read more

Found this place based on the great reviews. Just flew into Phoenix from CA and wanted to have Mediterranean Food. Met the owner (Emmanuel) who was very friendly and welcoming. Ordered the lamb kabob which was super tender, flavorful, well seasoned, and delicious. It came with side of salad, rice, hummus, pita and tahini or garlic sauce. Portions were generous and service was great. Will be coming back the next time I'm in the area. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed! read more

The food and service was great! It smell amazing the minute you walk in. I had the tacos and the garlic sauce they put on them made them outstanding! The meat was already wonderful, but the sauce made it even better! My husband asked for just the meat because of his diet and they were very happy to accommodate! We both were so pleased with this place and will definitely be back. I highly recommend Charcoal Grill. read more

Arabic-Mediterranean food served in a clean family-run looking restaurant. There's what appears to have been a cafeteria style counter along one side but it's not in use. Now a waiter comes to your table. The food appears to be Americanized, for instance tortilla chips are used instead of pita on quite a few dishes. And on the dishes that pita is included, you're only given one, and about one tablespoon of hummus. Otherwise I was very pleased with the place. The shawarma is cooked over a bed of fiery hot charcoals, the best way to make it! We ate chicken and beef shawarma served on saffron rice, with a small house salad and a tiny bit of hummus also on the plate, and one pita. Very good tasting! We also had a coleslaw which is Not your normal sweet coleslaw. This is house-made and includes yogurt and lots of garlic. Think of it as a garlic cabbage salad. It is wonderful! An absolute joy on my tongue. Last thing: be sure to order the house-made baklava. It's $5 for a 2" square but totally worth it. A sweet end to a great meal. Our bill was about $25 each. read more

This place is amazing as far as Arabic food I've had so many and I really enjoy the chicken tikka it actually has flavor unlike the other places that I've been to everything is great here the service and we continue coming to eat here I really really enjoy it I give it five stars. read more

The Food is excellent, the service SUCKS. I would have given 5 Stars, except for the service. I don't know if they need more help or what the problem was. We didn't see our waiter at all. Someone else came by as we finished our dinner. That was the first time we had someone come by since we got our food. 4 Stars for the Food. Would have been 5. read more

Excellent choice from Yelp reviewers. We had wonderful service from Emmanuel and his side kicks. Very warm and friendly. We had the platter of hummus, baba ghanoush, tabouleh and salad (also four stuffed grape leaves. All was excellent, the tabouleh was especially fresh and delightful. We followed that with a mixed sharoma (sp?) (chicken and beef) with rice a little hummus. As others have mentioned the garlic yogurt is delicious. I had some ouzo Iraqi style with chilled water. Nice. A very nice evening, we will return and bring others with us. Shukran. read more

This great neighborhood eatery is full of some carefully prepared and kindly served meals. The meats are so flavorful, using quality middle eastern style seasonings, and slow roasted directly over charcoal for the ultimate flavor enhancement. The salads are incredibly fresh, and the fries (yes fries) are top notch. Definitely worth a stop if you are looking for fresh Shawarma or Kabobs. I can't wait to come back again, only next time I'm going to START with dessert so I don't fill up on meats and carbs before getting to their delicious looking treats. read more

This place smells fantastic. Service is ok-one server was friendlier than the other. The hummus and chicken with pita were pretty good.

This is a new restaurant for my husband and I. The first time was 2 weeks ago. The food is so good, when they brought out our food, it looked so appealing, you could see the quality of it, so fresh and made with care. When we started eating we were so very pleasantly surprised! We've eaten there twice and ordered out as well, all within 2 weeks! The food is delicious, we've had three different dishes and it is ALL good. Oh and the bread, soft and warm! We'll continue eating there, it's THE best Mediterranean food around! Did I mention the lamb chops....perfectly cooked! My favorite!!! read more

Love it! Since trying it a few weeks ago, we have been there almost weekly. We like the shawarma wrap with fries, and the lamb kebab. Staff is super friendly, they even let us try something new on our last visit. Their is a gym that is super close - try the protein bowl if you want a low carb option! I think you can even order a whole or half chicken. The chicken tika with rice is bomb! Don't forget the extra garlic sauce! read more
