Their hummus is great. Do not miss out on it. I have tried both their falafel & their kafta wraps…read more Both very good. I tried a beef bowl. I didn't like the spices on the beef. It was cooked well. Not dry. Tender not chewy. Just not my liking in flavor. These bowls are hardy enough for 2 people to share with smaller appetites. Plenty of parking to. Oh, these are not those puny bowls Bi Lo Gyro sells. My stomach wept when I brought home that puny Bi Lo bowl & my wallet did to.

I recently went here for lunch with a colleague - we both love middle eastern food and have been…read moretrying to find the best place in the area. We agreed that Dar Alyemen has the best middle eastern food we've found so far! The inside space is average - not good or bad. They have a prayer room for Muslim customers which I think is great. They do have a very nice patio with several types tables - I think one type was a rocking chair table. It would be nice on a good day but it was storming when we went. The service was fine - there was just one guy who was working in the dining area and there was only one other table occupied when we were there. The wait for the food wasn't very long. We shared the a half chicken mandi, beef shish kabob, and baba ghanoush with pita. The chicken mandi was delicious. The chicken was so flavorful and tender - fell off the bone. It was on a bed of yellow rice with chunky stewed vegetables. It was perfectly seasoned. We also shared the beef shish kabob that was grilled to perfection - the perfect amount of seasoning and char and was so juicy! Lastly, we shared the baba ghanoush with the biggest pita I've ever eaten. The pita was so yummy - they brought it to us fresh out of the oven! The baba was so creamy and smoky - it had the perfect balance of flavors. They had some desserts but we were too full to try them. I will definitely be returning to try some other delicious dishes!

We ordered the mixed grilled platter with rice, the haneeth lamb with rice and the Zubaidi fish with the bread. All of the dishes were amazing with unique flavors. We started with a soup and salad which truly hit the spot. They also served sahawa (? Spelling) with the food, which complimented all the dishes and bread perfectly! Service: the service is thoughtful and friendly! Ambience: was clean and minimal. Would I recommend and return? Without a doubt!!! Run, don't walk, to check out this place if you haven't already! Ps: I only managed two photos bc the food looked so good that it was all done by the time I remembered to take photos of the other dishes.

For years…read moreI've been trying to find a reasonable facsimile of a veggie burger that I had in a little place in Kirksville Missouri. Frank's falafel burger hit the spot! Everything goes better with their house hot sauce! They don't sell the hot sauce in bottles and I am tempted to steal one off the table, it's so good! Also interesting is that there is no pork and the food seems healthier somehow because of that. Breakfast is delish, lunch great. I bring friends here on the regular.

My husband and I used to frequent their other location in Lakewood prior to it closing and were…read morevery happy to find that they had just moved and not closed, entirely. This little restaurant is run by a small family. This location is clean and parking is easy to find. They cook the food right in front of you and they have display cases full of all the tasty pastries and desserts that they make by hand. We ordered feta cigars (these were phenomenal!), a fattoush salad (huge), two orders of mantu (we really only needed one) and drinks. Everything was excellent! They give you very generous portions. The owner and his wife are very kind and welcoming and offer suggestions if asked. Our food came out quickly and it was nice and hot. We will absolutely come back. If you're a fan of Mediterranean cuisine, check this place out! Their menu is 100% halal and there are lots of vegetarian options too.

This place is an absolute hidden gem in Cleveland…read more If you want the freshest Georgian pastries, real natural cheese, flavorful meat, and something completely different from the usual food around here, this is the place. There is nothing else like it in Cleveland or anywhere nearby. I've been to Chicago, Denver, Miami, and a lot of other places, so I know what I'm talking about. Their Guruli khachapuri is the best I've ever had, and honestly, all of their khachapuri is incredible. Fresh, hot, cheesy, flavorful, and made the right way. Some of the spicy options are next level too. The owner, Gennady, is an amazing guy -- very welcoming, real, and passionate about what he does. You can feel that this place is made with heart. Also, if you go there, definitely ask about the homemade wine. It's something special. Most people in Cleveland have probably never tried anything like it. The restaurant is extremely clean, the food is fresh, and everything tastes amazing. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to try real Georgian food and experience something truly unique.

(Good-looking) guy was not rude but I asked for SO MUCH help. Like, 'What is this?' 'Let me look this up online' and 'Is there catering?' I was with family and not dressed in my professional clothes.

This goes to show that what you wear and who you know matters!

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the portions are very generous--definitely a place where you leave satisfied. Our waiter was very attentive and provided great service throughout the meal. The food overall was good, but a few things kept it just shy of a 5-star experience for me. The hummus was a bit underseasoned, and the pita was inconsistent--it was fresh and warm with one dish, and another dish came out with it feeling like the pita had been sitting out a bit too long (diff batch perhaps) . The chicken souvlaki was solid and flavorful, though the lamb was just average compared to the rest of the menu. Despite those small misses, EVOO is still a strong Mediterranean restaurant and worth visiting, especially for the ambiance and presentation. With a few tweaks, it could easily become a standout.
