Was hungry after a visit to Busch Gardens Christmas Nights. Figured I'd stop and get a shawarma and it was so delicious. Nobody was in the restaurant so we had it all to ourselves. Customer service is always pretty good in here, never had any issues. The shawarmas we got that night were so awesome and the fries were too. I forget how good they are and always pleasantly surprised all over again. I will be back soon. read more

For Monday night dinner I was craving for mediterranean food so I decided to search near me and by seeing the good reviews of Greenland Restaurant I checked out their menu online. By checking out the menu online I called the restaurant to order to food so I ordered Pita bread, Foul & Hummus and Falafel. The order was ready in 10 minutes and I picked up the order from the restaurant. First I had foul & hummus. The hummus was delicious with foul. I loved foul& hummus. It was made delicious and i really loved the hummus. Then I had Falafel which was delicious with hummus and falafel was cooked delicious. I also had pita with hummus which was delicious. Amazing restaurant with delicious food. I will definitely be back to try delicious food at Greenland Restaurant. read more

Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos. However, this was an overall good experience. Pros: falafel, lentil soup, big portions of food, grilled chicken, hummus, plenty of pita bread, open late Cons: They were out of spinach pie, rice was a bit bland We had a good time and it's a place worth visiting. read more

Delicious food. The falafel were beautifully crusty on the outside and creamy goodness inside. Hummus was perfection. Will be back.

I've been to this location a couple of times pre covid. However I went yesterday just to pick up food and I was highly disappointed! None of the employees are wearing masks. There is also no social distancing inside of the restaurant! I got a meat shawarma and chicken shawarma sandwich with fries on the side. My husband got a mixed grill with rice. So disappointed that both of the shawarma wraps were so dry and they barely put any meat on the mixed grill... Might start trying a new place read more

This is by far my favorite location of greenland. It is much more ethnic than the other location. The other location has the oven but this location has the grill. I prefer the grill personally but it's all a matter of opinion! I love this location the food is fantastic. They have a grocery next door to look at when waiting for the food! I mean look at this it's fantastic. The chicken is fresh and the rice is tasty. I love this place and it's foods. read more

Greenland Restaurant - Special chicken plate w/ okra soup - Middle Eastern Near Me - Tampa, Florida

We found this restaurant on Uber eats when we were looking for a new Mediterranean style restaurant. It was so good the first night that I ordered again the second night. Mind you, I don't eat meat so I don't have a lot of expertise on how a variety of their menu items taste but I can you tell 100% there falafels, rice, & hummus are the bomb!! Everything was prepared correctly and hot. Once again we ordered through Uber eats so I can't speak on their customer service read more

Food was way to salty and small servings for price.. the salad was soggy and black. Very disappointing I was really excited about this restaurant. read more

If you want to go and get amazing Mediterranean food I suggest the greenland on 56th! I accidentally ordered from this one rather than my go to one and I was highly disappointed. The meat is dry. Smaller portions, and the salad was so soggy it seemed they made it last night. Greenland is a amazing restaurant but it seems this one is more of a catering Greenland and the other is the actual sit down place. I barely got greeted. All the chairs were in the tables. I had to wait a extra 25 minutes when I got there they said it was ready. I would not go to this one again. read more

THE place for outstanding, homemade Arabic food. Their lamb is to die for! So are the deserts The servers are nice and really helpful read more

The lamb shank and soup tasted good. The sandwiches/ wraps were awful. Chicken shawarma was dry and did not have the toppings that could possibly make it taste better. V v disappointed. Will stick to other Arabic restaurants in the vicinity. read more

I haven't eaten at the location, but I have had Greenland cater for a number of my events. This past weekend we ordered a large tray of rice and lamb for a graduation party. We had over 100 guests and the amount of them complimenting the dish was overwhelming. The rice and lamb was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The owner of the restaurant is such a pleasure to work with. I'm Lebanese and I would HIGHLY recommend Greenland for authentic Middle Eastern food. They've remained consistent in food preparation and quality! read more

Well we gave this place a shot. The pita is super fresh and the rice is extremely tasty. Chicken and beef kebob are excellent. However, I also had kafke which was most certainly not fresh. In addition they use black salt on their hummus which makes it smell like egg(which I do not prefer). The falafel is tasty. The store has some interesting items, but the freezer leaks all over the floor, so they have caution signs out. read more

I used to order a lot from here through Ubereats. This was primarily when I was pescatarian so I could really only enjoy their vegetarian options. I love their falafels. However my taste buds are expanding now and I have implemented meat back into my diet. I stopped by here on a Wednesday night during Ramadan while they were having their buffet. I was very surprised at how inviting they were and I did not feel excluded at all. The guy behind the counter answered all of my questions as I was not familiar with all of the food items however I did recognize a lot of them from my own culture such as the: curry lamb and jute leaves. I'm not a big fan of chicken so I did not give the chicken a try but it did look moist. The rice was some of the best rice that I ever had. I was very impressed. I also really enjoyed the lentil soup. They also make pizza amongst other things in the morning for people to buy. I guess my only concern with these items is that it seems that they are left out at room temperature all day which I am not a big fan of but I hope to stop by one morning and get it when it is fresh. I look forward to visiting again. read more

Greenland Restaurant - Lentil Soup - Middle Eastern Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This place is NOT Kosher. They decided to put the word "Kosher" on their menu because it is used to attract people who keep kosher. This is outright fraud. read more

Great food, great service! We had the vegetarian appetizer platter and everything was delicious. My kufta kabob was beautifully spiced and my friend really enjoyed her shish kabob. I loved that the waitress was attentive but did not try to rush us in any way-we had a nice long lunch complete with Turkish coffee and delicious sweets. read more

PLEASE DON'T EAT HERE!! The service at this restaurant is horrendous. I can't believe the unprofessionalism we experienced. First, the waitress spilled an entire glass of water on me and my phone. There were four of us, we ordered two sandwiches and two grill plates. The sandwiches came out within 15 minutes. After almost one hour, one of the grill plates came out. The waitress made some excuse about the grill giving problems, but our sandwiches had grilled meats as well so it really made no sense. After several complaints, we told the waitress that if the missing food does not come out in one minute please cancel as we wanted to go home. At that point,the the rest of the party had finished their food. Finally, 10 minutes later, the second plate came out. The waitress said she would gladly take it off the bill. Then walks in the owner like tornado, randomly asking people where they parked there car? She comes over, apologizes for the delay BLAMES THE WAITRESS FOR BEING NEW. She brings a sad plate of baklava as some sort of way to make it up to us then goes on to charge us for all of the meals. I will never eat here again, nor should you. This restaurant should be shut down for their incompetence and extremely poor customer service. read more

I always order their hummus with meat topping, its soo good. They make sure the presentation of the food looks good even in a delivery box.

Delicious food & very kind people. Ignore the review about bad service - this spot does very well. Best late night snack - open till 2 am!
