To be honest, I'm totally clueless about what Turkish cuisine is about. I don't know any staple…read moredish or native delicacy. Because of this, with the desire to try anything at least once, I did not have any second thoughts about trying this place out. Besides, there was a bit of a line and the area was not deserted so I thought a number of people must really like whatever is on the place's menu. I asked for their bestseller and a slightly indifferent woman on the window recommended the Pita Doner. It looked really tasty and I got excited to take my first bite. And when I finally plunged my fork onto the pita bread, I noticed that it was stuffed with lots of vegetables. I'm not sure if it was a good thing but I expected more meat. The sauces (not sure how they're called) on the other hand, were also kind of bland. Good thing the entire dish was generally filling and satisfying. Not to mention it was already a balanced and healthy diet as it is. It might not be the best I've tasted but I have nothing to compare it with so I guess it was just ayt and I'm still willing to give Turkish cuisine in general another shot.

I can't help but feel that I should have ordered something else. After all, Bricks and Copper's…read morereputation preceeds it as far as I've read. Well, it's hit or miss, really depending who you ask. It just so happened that I was looking for something light that day. With everything around it offering something heavier, a pita donner seemed like a good idea. If you're familiar with the Bricks and Copper from Pleasant Hills, you'll probably notice there's a lot missing from their menu. But at least they kept their best seller, right? The pita donner is... kind of underwhelming. I mean, I guess it's okay. The meat wasn't all that dry. Nice and peppery. Good flavor but the way it was stacked in the pita meant that you'd be left with nothing but vegetables when you reached the bottom. That definitely does nothing for its flavor. That and where I got a container of sauce, my friend didnt and we ordered the exact same thing. Again, I can't help but think I might have ordered the wrong thing but when you order something they claim is their best seller, you'd think there would be a little more to it.

Their version was crispy outside but tasty and juicy inside. Service was tops, accommodating, friendly and fast. The ambiance was pretty simple. No frills but clean and comfortable.

The hummus here is delicious! I also like that you can order half or full sizes of the falafel. The half size is fulfilling already. If you eat just those two things, you should be quite satisfied. My family comes to this place quite often! I can see why!

A bit of trivia before we proceed: Did you know that Turkey is "birthplace" of shawarma? In fact,…read morethe name comes from the Turkish "çevirme", which means "turning". Shawarma is made from strips of meat--with beef being the hands down favorite--skewered and roasted on a spit over a period of several hours. Add in a combination of vegetables, such as fresh cucumber, onion, tomato, lettuce, and cabbage; drizzle with garlic or yogurt dressing; top with grated cheese (optional), and that's a wrap! Khaleb Shawarma is one of the more popular shawarma stalls in the metro. Eager to spread its passion for Mediterranean cuisine to Filipinos, it offers shawarma and kebab favorites at very affordable prices! At Php 50, you can already enjoy beef shawarma or kebab pita. The wrap, which resembles a cone more than a roll, is easy to eat on the go. It's delicious, too! For the rice lovers out there (aren't we all?), Khaleb Shawarma also offers shawarma rice, and chelo kebab. Maybe it's the convenience of eating our basic food groups: grow, go, and glow in one meal. Or perhaps it's just the mouthwatering interaction of warm bread, juicy meat, and crunchy vegetables that has our taste buds all fired up. Whatever the reason, one thing seems certain: shawarma in the metro is here to stay!

Shawarma Bros is indeed very small, but the interior is rather pleasant: well-lit, spotlessly clean, new tables & chairs. A couple parking slots out front. Located across from PureGold, also near Starbuck's and Pancake House, which together are the nicest small strip of eateries in that part of town. What is even better is the food. Persian/Turkish food aficiandos will love it. True strong flavors, not toned down for the Filipino palate. I especially like the Kofta.

To my surprise they filled up most of my food establishment requirements that is good flavor, cleanliness and reasonable pricing hence their slogan "A Different Shawarma Experience" was spot on. This is their first branch aside from being one of the Food Trucks that you see at events.

One thing I never fail to order is their stuffed zucchini because it's really good and feels really healthy... it's "greek rice with pine nuts, raisins and tomatoes stuffed in zucchini". However, today I found out that they modified their menu and there's no longer stuffed zucchini (sob!); instead, they changed it to stuffed red bell pepper! Badly needing my rice fix, I ordered it anyway, but very doubtfully. We also got the beef gyros (small pieces of beef, greens, and feta cheese in pita wrap) and the crispy calamares. The good news is, the stuffed red bell pepper was surprisingly even BETTER than the zucchini. It's the sweetest pepper I've ever tasted! Truthfully I'm not a fan of bell peppers because the green ones turn me off so I thought they all taste weird, but this red bell pepper was a game changer for me. TRY IT TRY IT! The other ones we ordered were pretty good as well. So far, I haven't tasted anything that I particularly disliked from Greek Kouzina. I also like their Lamb Meatballs. For dessert, their Greeka Yogurt is a must-try. The honey mixed with yogurt is amazing. If you run out of honey you can always ask for more.

It's a happy feeling eating in a Greek restaurant - the ambiance is always vibrant most especially…read morethe white and blue combination. I was ecstatic when I discovered the North-based restaurant has now a branch in the Fort. In Greeka Kouzina, you get good quality dishes. From just ordering the Hummus, to the Spanakopita to the Eggplant Dip - you will be satisfied from the appetizers alone. The Fig Roka Salata is always a common dish to order (walnuts on anything makes dishes taste better). For mains, either focus on getting a gyro or splitting a pasta and the Roast Lamb with someone. The Greeks tend to overdose on yogurt sauce so don't be afraid to spread the sauce on all your dishes. It might make everything taste the same, but hey you can't go wrong with a whole lot of Greek yogurt! For dessert, try the authentic Baklava - it's this yummy "cake" that's actually layers and layers of phylo pastry with pistachio, walnuts and cashews (and again, it's topped with yogurt). Really good stuff!
