Second time here and it was just as delicious!! The hummus with chicken was really good! My son had salmon with french fries which he loved, lamb racks were great, gyro sandwich also yum, the sides of house salad and soup also great- the salad dressing is amazing! We finished with the galaxy caramel chocolate cake with tea and Turkish coffee- also so good! The service is also friendly and prompt - they clearly know how to make amazing food with hospitality on the side it's a smaller restaurant but cozy with the fireplace wall and clean/authentic feeling. We will be back and highly recommend you support this local small business and enjoy! read more

Clean open kitchen, ample seating, friendly and helpful staff, good selection for all dietary concerns. I always love going to this place! The food is reliable and yummy and since it's been open it has never disappointed me! read more

Let me start with why I gave a 3 star before I get into my review. We walked in the door, wasn't greeted and we had to wait about 3 almost 4 minutes before someone came to take our order. It wasn't busy and we were the only people waiting. With that being said...the hummus was delicious. The pita was nice and fresh. I had the chicken skewer platter but there were no skewers my husband had the half chicken. Our other guest has the chicken and lamb bowls. I tasted the lamb, it was delicious. Everything was pretty much good and seasoned good so no complaints on the food. They have this mint lemonade that is amazing. Its freshly made too...yum The restaurant was clean, lots of seats and I love the light fixtures. You definitely feel the culture. read more

I discovered this gem years ago, and the quality of food is still fantastic. Often, I get the grilled chicken, and it's usually enough to feed my family. I also have gotten the gyro and meat n rice. The portions are fantastic and fairly priced. The service is sweet if you have trouble picking an item from the menu. The restaurant is beautiful, and parking isn't a problem. read more

In town for a short visit and was looking for a quick meal before a soccer game we were in town to attend. Found this place while driving down the road near our hotel. We were not disappointed. Great customer service; was very patient with me as I decided what to order. We eventually settled on philly chicken wrap, a greek salad, and some wings. Everything was good! Will certainly keep this establishment in mind when in the area again. read more

One of our absolute favorite places in Tampa. The food just hits every single time. The people that work there are always incredibly friendly, not sure if one of the ladies that works there is a manager or owner but she's always so wonderful. The food is bursting with flavor and I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. The inside is also super cute but casual. I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

We stumbled upon this hidden gem while My husband was working in the area. Wow I cannot express how delicious and fresh everything we have tried is. I dream of the food and can't wait to go back. We have been at least 3 times. The staff is super helpful and made good recommendations on our first visit. The decor is simple yet the lamps are so elegant. Not fancy, simple make a line order at the counter and they bring your food. Delicious, hit and fresh. Prices are reasonable too. read more

I tried a gyro platter and a side of hummus, and while the portions were generous, the food felt a little inconsistent. The meat was flavorful but slightly dry, and the pita tasted like it could've been warmer and fresher. Hope it improves next time read more

Love this place so much! It's delicious, fast service, and affordable! I usually get the duo plate or meat n rice - amazing portions. The meat is never dry; always tender and juicy and well-flavored. Can't forget the delicious toum they serve it with! I've ordered everything from family catering to their tabbouleh and it's delish. Would recommend! I will be returning soon. read more

The service was quick and the food was great! I got the lamb grape leaves and falafel. Both were outstanding! read more

I came here because of the Yelp reviews. They were not wrong. I got the Chicken Schwarma platter with 2 sides. I got grilled veggies and a salad. The chicken was very good, but the grilled veggies were incredible! Seasoned well and the veggies were still crunchy! The garlic sauce and the hot sauce were excellent too (made in house). They had run out of their house made grape leaves-next time. I will definitely come back. read more

There was a time when I used to love their food but now it's just horrible food horrible and the service sucks. The two young men who are in the front are rude and always have mean look on their faces. I spent over $100 and they still charge me for a dollar sauce while I was eating in with friends. I get charging for extra sauce on carry out but not dine in and that too when I just spent over $100. Never use to be like that before. read more

Been here 5 times now and each time it's delicious. Very friendly service. You order then pay and they bring your food to you. Always fresh & seasoned to perfection.

Really excellent place to go for food! The people working here are so friendly and so accommodating! The food portions are excellent! Tons of food for the price you pay. The Beef Kofta Wrap combo that I got was well packed. The kofta were tender and moist, but also had a delicious crust on the outside. The pickles and vegetables provide a nice contrast to the richness of the meat. The fries were fantastic as well. Nice and crispy and well seasoned. The ambiance is great as well. Lots of space for larger groups. Overall, excellent place for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food! :) read more

My friend brought me in because she said the food is so Good. And she was right!! So fresh and great tasting. The staff was so friendly and welcoming when placing the order. Plenty of seating to dine in. They give you a number to place on your table and they'll bring the food to you. Soda fountain is self serve. We got the chicken schwarma and the vegetarian grape leaves. Both must amazing flavor. I did like the chicken dish better than the grape leaves. Highly recommend! And I'll definitely be back when in the area. read more

Staff were courteous and we decided to share as they give you large portions. The chicken & beef kabob was very good the shawarma was very dry. The salad was delicious with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion with a nice dressing. The toom sauce was delicious and the tahini not so much. Falafel was hot, fresh and had a great flavor - very crunchy. Their prices are a little high but the portions are large! Great place! read more

Decided to check this place out on lunch. The food was good. You order at the counter, then they bring the food to your table. The wait was a little longer than expected. I ordered the stuffed baked potato, and my boyfriend ordered the gyro sandwich with fries. We also asked for some baklava, which was in the case at the front counter. The food and his drink (mint Lemonade) took about 20 minutes to come out. It was good and a good amount of food, just the wait is my only complaint. read more

My absolute favorite place to eat lunch! I mostly order the Meat & Rice, with my meat choice being Lamb. I mostly buy my drink at the Chinese grocery store next door, but I decided to give the Hot Mint Tea a try and it's absolutely delicious...! The people are always nice, give clear answers to my questions about the menu and are quick with my food. BUT BE WARNED!!! Their Mint Lemonade has sooo much mint in it, it's very overwhelming for the average mint enjoyer. read more

Came here with no expectations and surprised me how great it was. Nice casual restaurant, you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. I had the Kafta Platter and my wife had the grilled chicken platter. A platter comes with 2 sides, flatbread, and your choice of meat. After trying both meat, I recommend getting the chicken. Both tasted great, but the chicken was just a step above the kafta. We also got the falafels, and these were great. Not greasy, light, has a slight lemon taste to it. The service here is quite friendly. I wasn't too sure what to order, but they did not have any issues answering whatever questions I had. Location is a bit tucked away in the back of the plaza, but its located right next to MD Oriental. They do have outdoor seating, but just a few tables in front of the restaurant. Overall, I would definitely (and have) come back here to try some their other options. read more

Grape Leaf Express is a hidden gem! When walking in the restaurant is decorated beautifully. There was tons of people, which made me feel like the food may be good. When I went to order the man who is taking my order was extremely nice. He gave me suggestions on what I should get, based off of what I told him I was looking for. I'm actually really excited to go back again This salad was one of the best salads I have gotten from a to go meal in a long time. There was so much chicken, the dressing was delicious, and the portions were huge. I also love the falafel. It was a perfect ratio of crispy and flavorful. The menu is huge, so there's something for everyone! Be sure to get the salad you won't be disappointed . read more

I walked in and the aroma was unbelievable. It made me hungry. So I looked at the menu board, so much to choose from. So I ordered the Gyro platter, with fries and house salad. I was kinda concerned if it would satisfy my increasing hunger. I watched as so much food was being delivered to the customers tables. I ordered mine to go. I watched the chefs slice the gyro meat off the loaf. I look around the place. I seen the chandeliers, so beautiful, the restaurant is so clean and tidy. They call my name, I get my food, go home and eat. Thick cuts of the meat, the salad, pita bread and half the fries, I had to stop I was full. I had to wait about 15-20 minutes for them to make my order, it was worth it. They also have a rewards program if you sign up for, when you spend 50 dollars you get 5 dollars off coupon. I will definitely be going back there. read more

Had the gyro combo today. It was awesome. I come here often and have had other menu items too. They're all good. The service is always friendly and they try to get your food to you as fast as they can but they do get a busy lunch crowd so you may need to be patient. The restaurant is always clean. Even when they're busy. I also recommend the meat and rice platter and the Philly cheese steak combo. read more

This place is a delight. Very accommodating service and the food is excellent. Menu has a lot of different varieties of Mediterranean food. Everything from gyros to falafel; even high-end lamb. Have tried the gyro with fries and a drink for $8.99. Also have tried their falafel salad, which has quite the flavor in the Tabbouli, Fattoush, Hommous & Falafel. Seems like a bigger portion than what shows in some of the pictures here in Yelp and on their website. Interior is kept super clean. Decorations are beautiful with many lights and giant photography from the region that makes you feel like you are in the Middle East. The music is just perfect to set the mood. Soothing.... Highly recommend this place. Truly authentic flair by people who care about taking care of their foodie bretheren. read more

This place is amazing !!! This is typical Mediterranean cuisine and Ne of the best ones I have tried. My partner got all you can eat , lamb was outstanding quality.
