Just lots of awesome in this restaurant. Great food, warm and welcoming staff. Drinks are great and all at a fair price. Well worth an evening out, read more

My wife and I dined here last night. It was dead. We were there for about an hour and were the only people there. A few people came and went for pickup orders but that is it. It was like our own private dining room. We were assured by the owner that during the winter months the place is almost always jam packed with snowbirds. From the looks and deadness of the place I was skeptical of the food/service but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was awesome and so was the service. The owner was friendly and an all around awesome lady. To start we had baba ganoosh and hummus. Both were very good and the pitas were ok but not house made. Then we had a small house salad and lentil soup. The lentil soup was excellent but the salad was just ok. The dressing was 'eh and weird and I really can't describe it. However, for a small salad, it was huge. For my main course I ordered the lamb and gyro dish. The lamb was tender and juicy and the gyro was the best I've ever had. The portion was huge too which was good because I was able to eat the rest for lunch the next day. My wife had the falafel salad. The actual salad part was just ok (like the house salad I ordered previously) but the falafel were excellent. It was also a very big portion. For desert we brought home some baklava. It was homemade and very good although not as sweet as I would have liked. All-in-all it was a very good dining experience and we will return. read more

I have nothing bad to see here. Food is always delicious. Big portions. Quick service and easy take out. This place has become our go to for a lazy night at home. Highly recommend. The gyro meat is perfect. The lamb is delicious (get it medium rare). The humous is exactly what would would expect. Craving it now.... read more

A tiny strip mall located family owned business. For those who know anything about valley food; that means you're usually going to find something great. If you like Mediterranean, there's something at Eden's Grill Inn that will satisfy your taste buds. I've had a few of Eden's Grill's platters at a party before, but this weekend was my first dining experience at the restaurant. The dining room is small. Probably not much bigger than my living room, but they manage to comfortably squeeze a good mount of tables in without it getting uncomfortable. Some music (I'm assuming Greek) gives the place some added feeling. The decor isn't much. A few paintings and a lot of the clique "Best" whatever they were vote from the New Times or some other publications plaque's. Those awards seem to be well deserved. We both had the gyro pita lunch special. For just $7.95, you get the sandwich, a choice of Greek salad, fries, or rice, and a drink. When the sandwich arrived, I was shocked at the massive amount of meat. I had to start with a fork just to eat it down to a size where I could use my hands and take a bit! The tzatziki sauce is also excellent. I'm guessing they mix some sort of sour cream in with the yogurt. Whatever it is, it makes the sauce very flavorful. The pita bread may be the best I've ever had. It's almost more of a hybrid or a naan and a pita. A little oily for bread, but delicious. The service was as good as the food. The owner really made us feel welcome, and was as nice as can be. The lunch specials are cheap. The regular entrees can be pretty pricy. But portions are pretty big, so it's best to come here with a group of at least four and split a few items. read more

Delicious food, fast and friendly service in a clean environment. My husband and child both had chicken, I had a gyro. Docked a star because within 2 hours of eating they were fine but I was sitting on the toilet with the trash can between my legs. I don't pray as a rule but, I think I birthed that goat back whole outta my guts over the next three days. It was unpleasant. Just get the chicken. They said it was very good. read more

I'd been here a few years ago but it proved to be a convenient location to meet a friend for lunch yesterday. The falafel wrap is delicious and service was good. My friend said her baklava was yummy as well. read more

My friend introduced me to Eden's Grill this past summer and I fell in love. If you like authentic Gyros, flavorful Basmati rice with almonds and raisins, and homemade hummus then this is the place for you. It is a quaint, family run place set back in a strip mall. Portions are large and the owners are very friendly and service oriented. Don't leave without a piece of the caramel flavored cake! read more

Eden's Grill is a gem in Phoenix. A diamond in the rough if you will. It's truly a shame there aren't more deliciously amazing family-owned restaurants like this in Phoenix. From the moment you walk in you're welcomed by a member of the family, usually the father who is working the dining room. This hospitality lasts until you leave. Their rice is truly a standout with almonds and raisins mixed in. Hummus is amazing. Chicken kabobs are always tender and juicy. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu here! If you're nice to them, they might even give you a complimentary baklava for dessert! read more

This place was AH-MAZ-ING!!! We tried the homous, tabouli and falafel appetizers and then shared the #3 and #6 entrees (between 3 of us). We washed it all down with some Lebanese beer to boot. Every last morsel of food was divine, the drinks perfectly chilled and refreshing... and the service was equally awesome. From a few folks who have eaten Mediterranean food from around the globe.... this place is THE BOMB DIGGITY and you should go there and try it all! We'll be back as soon as our leftovers are gone and our stomachs have some space. read more

OK after hearing about this restaurant from a friend I decided to take the family out. First I must say that living in the valley for over 30 years I still and always will be a Haji Baba fan in Tempe Az. for life!(yelp them) So, walk in and would agree that the ambiance was less than. Dinner tables were cheap and the table cloth was tacky. Oh almost forgot why is there a large mirror on the wall? Were given dinner menus by a impolite waitress who I suspected was surely going to be the owner. The first thing that hit was the prices! $$$ I kindly asked the waitress if I could just have a Gyro sandwich. The answer was NO! (rudely). Those are only available during lunch time! Ok, so next option was to gamble on a gyro plate priced at $14.95. We placed our order and waited. The food arrived on a timely manner. The food was hot and looked good. The tzatziki-sauce was a 10! Although the gyro meat was not to my tasting, it was ok for being real hungry. Eventually the waitress started warming up to us! :) PROBABLY WONT RETURN AGAIN. Pros- Fresh food, Location Cons-Couldn't get what I really wanted.(A gyro sandwich) -$$$ pricey! $36 for 2 adults and 2 children. (2 gryo plates and a coke.) -No kids menu. -Water tasted like it was from the tap. -Coke was flat. read more

Love Eden's Grill. Great basmati rice, all yellow which I'm hoping is ghee. (unfortunately, I found out from the owner that it is saffron rice with "vegetable oil". This usually means "soybean oil'. Since soybean it probably the cheapest and worst oil to use (endrine disruptor), that really makes me not want to frequent the place that often.) The steak kabobs are awesome, seasoned with some herbs and not totally garlicy or spicy. Very small place and hard to find in the corner of a shopping center (ACE Hardware) but well worth the trip. The lunch portions are smaller and cheaper so get there before 4. One day I was running really late and they had changed to dinner. Wow, much bigger servings but of course, I ate it all! read more

Amazing service, fantastic food and large portions. BEST rice EVER!! Mom is cooking up the most wonderful food. Love the entire family and the service. ~Kristi & Chris read more

After coming back for 20 years, we will NEVER eat here again. The beef kabobs were as tough as Spring Training baseballs. The service was incredible as we ordered salads to start and the main dish comes immediately next without any time allowance to eat salad. The small table had no room. I went to send it back and was told that their customers like to eat it all together. The unfriendly sister waitress couldn't care less. Years ago it was a nice place- no more...time to retire.

Superb Mediterranean cuisine in a small family restaurant. This is by far the best Mediterranean food in Phoenix. Their savory use of spices and herbs brings out the best in everything they serve. I would go out of my way to discover this restaurant. read more

This place was pretty good, but it didn't blow me away. The hummus was kinda bland and the falafel was mediocre. The rice was amazing though. Next time I go back I'll probably just stuff myself with rice... maybe with a salad on the side. I wish I could combine my favorite aspects of Mediterranean food from restaurants all over the valley and make a SUPER-MEAL! I would have: - hummus and lentil soup from Pita Jungle - falafel from Sabuddy or Phoenician - salad and fries from Greek Patio - freakin' delicious rice from Eden's Grill read more

Stumbled upon this place from Yelp when looking for something new to have for take out. I rolled into the restaurant around 845 (they close at 9), and placed an order to go. Normally some places like this get kind of cranky if you order that close to closing, but the lady who helped me was so nice. I believe her name is Nahren....one of the owners. I had the Dolmeh (grape leaves) appetizer and the Gyros entree. The Dolmeh, which was served warm, was pretty darn good, a little different than I've had it before, but the style can vary based on which country the recipe is originating from...in this case Iran I believe. It's hard to really screw up gyros, and gyros meat will be pretty consistent in taste no matter where you go. But here, there was something that separated it from the rest, it was really flavorful. The gyros comes with sides of pita to wrap it in, tzatziki sauce, onions, tomatoes...and is all served over amazingly delicious basmati rice with golden raisins and almonds in it. Sooo good. When the food was ready and I got the bill it was like $23 something. I thought wow, this is kinda expensive...but when I got home and opened my food, I was blown away at how HUGE the portions were. I got at least 3 meals for myself out of it. This place did not disappoint, I'm excited to go back and try some more of their entree's as I'm sure they are delish. read more

Eden's is a small family-owned restaurant where we have received good service and good food on multiple occasions. Coming from someone on a vegan diet, this place is an appropriate stand-in for its namesake - the Garden of Eden. There are lots of options that have absolutely no eggs or dairy in them - which is sometimes hard with Mediterranean food. The hummus and baba ganoush were both very good. I would highly recommend the vegetarian appetizer - it's a meal in itself - as well as the vegetarian plate. They were more than willing to make a couple of substitutes to accomodate dietary restrictions. We'll be back. read more

Eden's grill has very tasty food. Good vegetarian selection. Delicious rice and falafel. The service is warm and friendly. Its a bit pricey compared to other nearby Mediterranean restaurants but the food tastes like it was made with love. FYI- You can place orders for their fantastic rice for the holidays. I heard it is amazing with turkey dinners. I plan on it for next Thanksgiving. read more

Terrific food and service. Probably the best hummus I've ever had and the lentil soup was fabulous.

This is a local, family owned jewel! The customer service is wonderful and the restaurant is cozy. Our family does take out at least a few times a month. It may look expensive from just looking on the menu, but the portions are gigantic! My favorite part is the fact that I can make it into a couple dinners.. With my gluten free diet it's hard to find delicious authentic food.The chicken kabobs with rice is always cooked to perfection. The special yogurt sauce is to die for and I always make sure I ask for extra. Thanks for all the delicious lunches/dinners and friendly service!! read more

The best Mediterranean food my husband and I ever ate! It was fresh, flavorful and enormous portions! It is a family run operation which makes the restaurant even more charming! The service was great. My husband asked for fries for our 2 year old daughter and the server told us in a very motherly way "thats not healthy, she'll eat with you, theres rice and chicken" (we ordered one of the platters) and she did! I so appreciated that. I was going to tell him that, but she beat me to it. Everything was great from the Hummus, to the lamb kabob, chicken kabob and the gyro meat to the sweet rice and baklava... the baklava is divine!! Cannot wait to be back to see Noreen and taste her moms cooking yet again! read more

Absolutely amazing in every way, but why the heck is this place in a strip mall? My husband's exact quote after finishing his meal: "I think this may be the best food I've ever had." read more

The staff do not wear masks, even when dealing with customers. If you are picking up food instead of dining in due to the pandemic, this kind of defeats the purpose. read more

This is by far the best Mediterranean restaurant in Arizona. The food is always fresh, consistent, and mouth watering delicious. I am never disappointed. If you haven't had Eden's Grill, you should. read more

Very friendly people. Quaint and comfortable. I have the lentil soup which was fantastic. The perfect amount of spices. I also ate the gyro dinner which definitely had leftovers. Portion size they were huge. I probably could have gotten just a soup and been full. The gyros were pretty good, but the thing that threw me for a great loop was the rice. It was served with raisins and almonds and it made it spectacular. Definitely recommend. read more

Eden's Grill Inn - My dates dish - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The food is 5 star, the staff was good as well, however, we had a large group of 25 people for a rehearsal dinner. We originally had been told that we could be there as long as needed. After an hour and a half, we were told that we would need to leave as they had another large party coming in after us. We were not able to have coffee and dessert, and as we were leaving they moved one table for a different group. For small groups and date nights, this is a great place, for large parties, I would rethink it. read more

Oh my! I just LOVE this place. I only recently discovered it. Call in, it sounds like the cook takes your order and then his sister runs the front. Nicest people. First time I order it's way past lunch so they aren't busy. I don't know any of the names of what I want, but the cook walks me through their menu making suggestions and answering questions. I get a little of everything to see what's good. Several different Kabobs, gyro, fries, salads, hummus, extra bread.. the works. It was all so delicious. But my favorite is their rice. It's so favorable and delicious with some almonds in for this nice texture. I'm mad I waited so long before we gave them a shot. I'm now a regular. It's my first suggestion when my wife asks what we should pick up for dinner. read more

Everything is delicious! The puta bread is the best, freshest I've ever had; the gyro excellent. Do try this place.

I have been here twice, the first time was for lunch and was definitely a 5 star experience. Howevaaa, the second time I came was with a date and was for dinner. This time we ordered a few different dishes and I came away rather unimpressed. The hummus had way too much tahani as it had a very strong peanut flavor. I was also not crazy about the chicken and rice dish my date ordered. Both times I had gyro meat and enjoyed it, but some of the other things changed, such as the service. Dinner service was not nearly as good, which I somewhat understand because there were so many more people, but if you want people to come back to your establishment, you gotta always have good help. read more

My boyfriend and I checked out Eden's Grill last night on the recommendation of fellow Yelpers. Don't let the location fool you -- this place is EXCELLENT! We stopped in about an hour before they closed. The server was so friendly and sweet and we were promptly seated. The table next to us was very chatty and friendly as well. We started off with the potato cakes which were the perfect portion for an appetizer and were very good. The boyfriend ordered the Adam and Eve and I ordered the kefta and chicken. Both were superb. I don't know what the chicken was marinated in, but was so juicy and flavorful; it tasted entirely different than any other Greek Kabob I've had. I also tried some of the beef kabob and would highly recommend that as well. My other kabob was the kefta and I'll be honest-- it wasn't my favorite, but that's what I get for trying something new. Both plates came with rice with white raisins and slivered almonds. On top of the rice was marinated grilled vegetables. I could've eaten a plate of that alone! Be forewarned that when you come here, the portions are HUGE. We easily could've split a plate, although we'd have been fighting over the chicken! read more

Fantastic, quality, homemade dishes! Family owned and always consistently great food! We go here at least once a week and we have tried all the other mediterranean restaurants in the valley, Eden's Grill is the best! Plus supporting local businesses is always a plus and this place is worth it!!! read more

Eden's Grill Inn - Portions are plentiful and the food is always consistently awesome! - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I recently stopped in for a quick bite based on Yelp reviews. I definitely agree with all of the positive things said here! It was absolutely delicious. Service was great! It is really nice to find small, family owned places like this! read more

GREAT!!! Mediteranean food. Ambiance - simple, small, somewhat crowded with paper placemats - lowers rating of an otherwise exceptional dining experience. Potato Cakes are a good appetizer with a great cucumber/yogurt sauce. Baba Ganoush was very good. Morrocan Chicken (spicy) was savory and truly a star of the evening. Don't let 'spicy' dissuade you - it really has very little heat. My wife was very pleased with the Vegetarian Stew. The other three in our party had different kabob combinations: Adam & Eve, Chicken, and Beef & Lamb. All drew raves. All 5 dishes were generous portions with equally generous servings of flavorful rice - topped with raisins and almonds. read more

One of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I've been to here in Phoenix. I would have given it a 5 star if it wasn't for the fact that they don't turn on the ac or they set it way too high when the owner is there. read more

This place was excellent. I brought my elderly grandparents, who aren't big on greek, and they had a great time. The sergice was attentive, and thought was put into every dish. Most Greek/Mediterranean places tend to overflavor their food, I thought Eden balanced the flavor of their chicken brilliantly with just a compliment of nice spices. Their salads were fresh, and the falafel was cispy outside and fluffy inside. I would absolutely go back...and congratulations to the owner on opening a nice, quaint business. read more

This is probably the best Mediterranean food in Phoenix! And the ladies that run the place are always friendly!

Great meal all-around. Was hoping for an authentic experience...and that is what we received from start to finish. Really enjoyed the grilled lamb and chicken, with garlic sauce on the side, and a Turkish coffee to finish. Service was attentive and friendly. The staff was clearly proud of their food/restaurant, as they should be... Highly recommend! read more

I'm not sure why it took me so long to write a review for this place. My boyfriend and I absolutely love it! It is a hidden gem in the area. We tend to order takeout more than eat there because we're usually in sweatpants and tired, but the food is just as good by the time we get it home. I love getting the potato cakes - it's a guilty pleasure of mine. We also share an entree because there is so much food in each order! It's definitely one of the places we go to at least 2 times a month. So it's in our rotation of places to go when I'm too tired to cook. read more

Actually shaved gyro meet. not pre-cut, spam looking gyro meet. This place gives SOOOO much food. I love it. When my wife and I go we split the gyro platter/plate for dinner. Sometimes we will get a salad to split as well, but to be honest we have left overs sometimes. So much meat...can't ever complain. You have to come to this place sometime. They can packed really quickly so make sure you plan accordingly. First time we went we got in right before temple got out. We got lucky but everyone after us had a 45+ min wait. read more

When my Sis is visiting, we make the most of every moment and every meal. I knew I wanted to bring her here, because of the amazing owners and the wonderful food. I love the kefta. I especially love the catfish! The description on the menu doesn't fully describe the complete amazingness of this menu item! So I knew I wanted that, and once my Sis tasted it she wanted it, we ended up sharing my plate (we came hungry, shared my plate, and still had a little left, the portions are huge). It was one of the best things she has ever had and wants to come back every time she comes to visit. The fish is not just cooked perfectly, it is seasoned so well, it doesn't have a hint of "fishy" taste. The rice is perfect with it. When we were walking in I was telling my Sis how great the owners were and I got to leave telling her "see, I told you they were great" :) read more
