I like to take risks and see what the foods like. I wanna see the restaurant was clean. There was a lot of people eating and the service was good! The food was really good as well. We got spicy hummus as an appetizer and 15 out of 10 it was so good. This place is a little hidden gem!

Oops!!! I didn't leave a review last year. We were here April 2,2025 for our first visit with the…read moresame group as today. Last year we ordered the kabab plates and it was way too much food. It was ok, I had the beef, but I failed to cut it up till half way through and it was hard to eat. Half way through I started cutting up the meat and it tasted so much better and easy to eat. Not so tough and awkward. Today March 28, 2026 is our 2nd visit. We arrived first in the party of 6. They led us to the first table. Two booth seats and a table with 4 chairs. Perfect. Next they have us menus and took our drink orders. As it turns out it was waters for 5 of us and 1 lemonade. As people arrived they individually took out drink orders. Once we got settled they took out orders. I ordered the shawarma, a wrap with tri tip, lettuce, tomato, parsley, tahini sauce. Wrapped in a pocket bread. It comes with: salad, rice, or fries. I got the salad. was delicious. I loved their dressing. The shawarma was delicious. I love how small they cut up the meat and the flavoring. The wait staff was very attentive and checked back with us a few times. Refilling waters, asking us if we wanted boxes. She even came with the boxes as she asked us so all she had to do was pass them out. The restaurant is bright and clean, thought a little cool. They turned off the fans for us and it was perfect. She said it gets warm during the rush. We were first in the restaurant for lunch. 11:30am in a Saturday is early. I look forward to coming back next year when we're back in town.

My food was originally set to deliver 30mins after ordering but it ended up being late and didn't arrive until alittle over an hour after placing my order. My order: chicken shawarma plate. Cames with rice, pita bread, 2sides of choice I got the hummus and Greek fatoush salad and 2 choices of sauce my choice were garlic and tzatziki. My order was packed neatly. Though it took an hour to reach my door step it was still warm and beautifully plated. The food was AMAZING!!! The chicken was so tender and seasoned nicely. The rice was delicious, the salad was fresh and the hummus and sauce were so good and they were generous with it!!! The garlic sauce was my absolute favorite you could definitely taste the garlic. Everything was delightful! If this is what it tasted like an hour late I can only imagine how it would taste if it was fresh! I would definitely order from them again.

Just awful and completely inedible. I was trying to avoid…read morefast food while on the road and figured I'd play it safe with Mediterranean--how bad could it be, right? So I stopped at Kabab Twist, thinking a gyro and salad would be a decent, quick meal. Big mistake. Took one bite of the gyro and immediately regretted it. The meat was dry, flavorless, and tasted like it had been sitting around way too long. The salad wasn't any better--limp greens and a dressing that tasted like it came straight from a bottle of disappointment. After two bites total, the whole plate went straight in the trash. That should tell you everything you need to know. Avoid. This place somehow managed to mess up Mediterranean food, and that's saying something.

Nice, new (as of mid-'23) little place inside Village Mall in downtown Kingsburg, where there are…read morealso some cute gift, children's, and garden shops. This is counter ordering with limited seating in the area and a little more in the mall hallway - quiet for our weekday lunch but might be less so when busy. No problem - just take out, because the food is worth it. I had a chicken shawarma plate so tasty I didn't even need the garlic sauce, and the pilaf was light and fluffy. My companions enjoyed their gyro and chicken wraps, the latter having a little spice kick. Side salads were nothing out of the ordinary, but side French fries were plentiful. The counter worker (possibly the owner) was helpful and attentive. It's a little hard to spot because the only sign outside is for all the shops in the little mall. Just look for the mall sign and head through the door (it feels like you might be entering one of these shops but you're not) and straight to the back - it's well marked. You might evening enjoy the other shops too, as I did.

The upstairs feels like a classic restaurant, while the downstairs has a cool speakeasy vibe that makes the experience even more unique. We ordered an appetizer, pizza, pasta, and the pistachio cake, and every single dish was outstanding. The pizza had the perfect amount of cheese for that satisfying cheese pull. The pasta wasn't just one-dimensional. Everything was perfectly seasoned, tasted fresh, and the quality really stood out. The pistachio cake was the perfect ending to the meal. It had just the right amount of sweetness, allowing the distinct pistachio flavor to shine through, complemented by a subtle hint of coconut that made it even more delicious. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in town. Highly recommend!

Okay, look. First of all, they serve your soda in actual, full-sized mason jars. Which I am…read morepersonally obsessed with, because nothing gives me a baseline level of panic quite like having to make awkward eye contact with a server every four minutes just to beg for a refill. So having a massive jar of soda already right in front of me? Huge win. Now, moving on to the slightly traumatizing part: they did not bring out bread to the table. Excuse me? I'm sorry, but if I am sitting down for Italian, table bread is not an optional courtesy--it is a fundamental human right. And it became an even bigger issue when my fettuccine arrived, because the portion size was... let's just say aggressively small for a dinner entree. I was expecting a meal, not a decorative sample. However... it was infuriatingly good. They make their own pasta fresh in-house, and the texture was honestly undeniable. My husband ordered the Margherita pizza, and he literally declared--with complete, uncharacteristic enthusiasm--that it was hands-down the best Margherita pizza he has ever gotten. So, massive points there. What was not a massive point, however, was the subterranean seating situation. We were escorted downstairs into the basement, which was pitch black. But more importantly: the stairs are completely unlit. I'm sorry, but they are actively asking to get sued. It is a litigious nightmare waiting to happen. Someone is going to take one wrong step in the dark, tumble down that staircase, and own the entire restaurant by next Tuesday. They are practically begging for a lawsuit. That being said... despite the pitch-black staircase of death and the tragic lack of dinner rolls, overall? I really liked it. The food completely won me over, and I would definitely go back. I will just be bringing a flashlight and my own emergency focaccia next time.

You can see the chef prepare your food in the open kitchen. The food is vibrant, flavorful, and came out hot. The lamb is tender and didn't have a gamey taste. The chicken was citrusy and juicy. The beef kebab was cooked to perfection as well. The baklava was sweet, crisp, flaky and fresh. I'll try the gyro and falafel next time!

I passed through for work so it was fine for a quick meal after a long day, but disappointing. My falafel wrap was small, the flavor was ok. I also ordered the mezze platter. They loaded it up with tzatziki but the portions of the other dips were not equal. It made me wonder if they were trying to get rid of the tzatziki? Also, they only gave me 3 pitas, which were dry, almost stale. I had so much leftover dip and nothing to eat it with. So I had to throw the extra away :( I probably won't come back next time I'm in town. It just didn't taste very fresh if I'm honest. And portions were way off.

This time I tried the Kafta Lula Kebob. The rice is always delicious, and I enjoy the vegetables, though I wish they were cooked a bit more.

The servers are attentive and nice, though not overly friendly. Overall, I would still choose this spot over Mediterranean chains because of the authenticity and quality of their dishes.
