    Supposedly this is maqluba mix. Look at the pictures posted by the restaurant vs this. DO NOT EAT HERE, you've been warned.

    Very very disappointed and I DO NOT recommend eating here unless you like getting sick. This picture was taken after I ate a few bites of the meal, I couldn't finish it because the taste was horrible and the food was cold (I live 9 minutes away so it couldn't have gotten this cold from when I picked it up till I got home). Furthermore, the quality of the meat is very low from the taste and how chewy the beef is. Halal or not cheap meat is very obvious to differentiate. I paid $25 for the plate and part of the charge was $3.99 for a side of yogurt. This is price gouging in my opinion, and for this type of food it should come with a side of sauce or yogurt. I ordered a maqluba mix and from the picture this is what I got. For anyone who is familiar with Middle Eastern food, this is NOT maqluba! If I wanted grilled chicken and beef I would have ordered it. The flavor was so horrible and disgusting. Did I already mention that? Yes, because it really was that displeasing. When I first tried this place it was good but time over time it keeps getting worse and worse. Safe to say I will never spend my money here eating this disgusting overpriced low quality food again. Made me sick the next day! Save your money or you're better off eating anywhere else, even McDonald's! Oh by the way, don't be fooled by the other 5 star reviews it is super obvious that there are many fake reviews or they are friends with the owner to make the restaurant appear better than it actually is. You have been warned. By the way, the food in the pictures posted by the owner looks NOTHING like the food served in the restaurant.

    I ordered Kabob King to go for dinner Friday and it hit the Mediterranean food spot! The service and ordering was quick. I ordered a couple of things and didn't check the bag so I was missing an item which is why this isn't a full 5 star experience. I should have checked the bag but that was my mistake. I ordered a chocolate cheese cake but did not get to try it. For dinner I ordered the falafel sandwich combo on pita. The pita and sandwich was was a little small but it was enough food with the seasoned fries that were a little soggy. I did order the stuffed grape leaves and enjoyed them. They were served with lime which is a little different than lemon which is preferred. The lime was an interesting combination of flavors. I wish there was a half order as 10 was too much for one.

    I've passed by Zeko's more times than I can remember and always wondered what the food was like…read more Today I visited and thought I'd try it out. The dining area was fresh and clean with a few customers. I tried the chicken Philly and the chicken gyro . The service was great and made my ordering easy. The ambiance is cozy but not small, a few booths and patio seating as well. My review on the chicken Philly is a 8.7 and the same on the gyro with same grilled chicken.

    We were not far from USF & Zeko's looked like an interesting place to try. It has the aura of a…read morefast food place, but the food is for sure mostly Mediterranean. The lady at the counter that waited on us seemed a bit bored & perhaps unhappy to be there. So she was not a good first impression for us, lol. I ordered a beef shawarma & a side of fried mushrooms to share. I admit fried mushrooms are not exactly a common item given a Med menu. When they arrived I had to laugh. We received a large bowl with what looked like golden golfballs. These were literally large mushrooms that had been deep fried. There is no way these were healthy, but they tasted good line State Fair food, lol. The shawarma was surprisingly good for a fast food joint. The beef was of decent quality & the tehina sauce was tasty. Overall, not a bad experience.

Sometimes I get salad instead of fries, but today was that kind of day. The falafel is fresh perfectly fried extremely tasty. The hummus is their usual high-quality homemade version. Lamberger came out piping hot, juicy on a fresh bun and the fries are delicious. I also ordered an unsweetened iced tea and that came out just fine exactly the way I like it ice cold. Even though I sat outside and it's a bit noisy here and a bit hot. I really don't care because I do love this place. If something goes wrong here, make sure to tell them right away and they'll fix it. They're very good. Finally, let me just say how much I appreciate the consistency on your Quality as well as the freshness of their ingredients at all times. As usual, highly recommended!

    While in the area I craved authentic Turkish food. A quick search on our fav app and several spots…read morecame up. It was a tough decision between three places nearby and I chose Tazza. I'd hate to go against the many great reviews, but I wasn't impressed with the Turkish dishes. Firstly the name is deceiving. It should be called "Tazza Turkish, Mediterranean, Greek, Italian and other international food". And yes, I know I should've picked up on that bit of knowledge from viewing the menu - I get it. On the food - the hummus and tzatziki apps were good , except the pita bread were just reheated pitas found at the local Publix. The coconut shrimps were not coconut. The mixed grill was ok. Lastly the kunefe was eh.. The Turkish coffee was good. Overall not impressed with the Turkish food. It wasn't terrible just not as authentic as I expected. And quite overpriced
