My boyfriend ordered the spicy gyro and WOW was it spicy, he asked for more plain tzatziki to try to cool down his mouth and they brought out a new regular gyro for him. They truly go above and beyond to make sure everyone loves their meal. I started with the regular gyro and had the spicy fries, which was the perfect combination of spice and taste for me! Everything is delicious but order the spicy with caution if you have a traditional Midwest pallet.

This is a great neighborhood spot for casual Mediterranean food that tastes really good…read moreLots of choices to choose from - their spicy sauces are no joke- definitely not midwestern spice so note that Fries really good too, I liked the Greek donuts they had at one point but I think the menu changes Cute interior - very fast service and nice staff

O&L is my favorite lunch spot of all time. Always good kind service, amazing food and quick…read moreturnarounds that get me out the door and back to work. The gyro meat here is, IMO the true star, and when paired with their fresh lettuce, tomato, red onion and sauces it truly shines. It offers the right balance of pepper, hint of spiciness, alongside a nice crisp savory meatiness that can only be achieved on a proper vertical spit. My extra piece of advice, is get the spicy green sauce on the side. It offers that little extra jalapeño oomph alongside their creamy tzatziki and it's a perfect balance. Bit expensive to dine here for lunch too often so I try to keep it to every few weeks, but what a treat it is when I do allow myself to eat here for lunch. 5/5 goodness guaranteed!

Ordered on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Restaurant is part of Curie Food Hall. Orders are…read morefor delivery or to go. There is a parking lot and waiting area with small tables if you decided you couldn't wait any longer to dig in! When you arrive, there's a screen to track your order. There are also people at the counter to help if you need it. The Koobideh is deliciously seasoned and moist....as it can be dry from other restaurants. The chicken was also flavorful and delicious. The saffron rice is tasty. This may be not be traditional but I doused both with some tzatziki sauce and it made the meal that much tastier. Chicken wings were ok but seemingly lacking a bit of flavor. The garlic dipping sauce is powerful...use sparingly. Definitely give it a try! So wonderful to be walking distance to yummy Persian food.

I go there for the delicious Middle Eastern food, which, for a buffet, is amazingly fresh and tasty. It helps, of course, that the buffet is replenished frequently. It includes a wide variety of salads, hummus, pita, soup, protein, and desserts--and it's all delicious! If you have not been to the family-owned Mediterranean Cruise, the building itself is surprisingly large and impressive. It features a 25-foot or higher ceiling, a private dining area, and even space for belly dancing presentations. While Mediterranean Cruise offers Mezas, soups, salads, rice and hummus bowls, sandwiches, and more off the menu, you must try the buffet to truly appreciate the breadth of their offerings. Highly recommended.

I've been coming here for years, but lately it just hasn't the same…read more The food is still good, but not at the level it used to be. I have pretty high standards for Greek/Mediterranean food, and it just doesn't stand out anymore. The pita has been dry, although the hummus is still solid. The platters are fine overall, but nothing particularly memorable. Service has also been a bit underwhelming recently compared to past visits. That said, the atmosphere is still a highlight. The space feels very authentic with all the decor, and the belly dancers are always a fun touch. The patio is also nice if you're able to sit outside. Parking can be a little tight in their lot, but there's a ramp nearby which makes it easier.

The service was great and friendly. Prices are reasonable. If you're not big on tart food, then don't get the dowjic soup because it has a lot of lemon juice. The soup was good with bread to tame down the tartness. The food was flavorful and not overpowering with spices like Indian cuisine.
