The service was excellent. It was my first time in, and it will be a repeat place when I am in the area. I was given small sample of all the different types of meat with rice since it was my first time in. I chose to go with the Kofta Meatball for my protein. All the meat on the bowl hot bar was cooked perfectly, it's a matter of taste profile preference what you choose. The place was clean and well organized. I got mine to go. Their packaging is great for traveling too, the lid is snug and stays on way better than the foil lids on Chipotle bowls. I will be a repeat customer when I am in this part of Green Cove Springs. read more

This place is a GEM!! It isn't fancy but it IS delicious, bright, clean, and friendly. When we first walked in, they asked if it was our first time and proceeded to give us little tastes of everything! One was better than the next! Ended up getting a fresh bowl with Barbacoa and tiramisu. They were both so good. The ingredients were fresh and quality, plus it was seasoned to perfection. The meat was super tender. These are the kind of people, in the kind of place you want to give business. read more

I finally got a chance to try out Magic Flavor and was more than happy with my choice. Upon entering, I was promptly greeted by a young lady at the front counter. I mentioned it was my first time here since they had opened, and she was happy to provide a little sampler place consisting of rice, tzatziki sauce, chicken, pork, meatballs, beef, and barbacoa. Though everything was amazing, my heart was set on trying their gyros especially since she stated the meat was cooked on a spit in the back, so I placed an order for the combo with fries and a drink. It came out to be a fair $20 including tax and tip. Most of their offerings consist of building a bowl similar to popular fast casual Mexican-American business, but the quality here is more than a step up for similar pricing and better service. The gyro was stuffed with meat, fresh veggies, and above all: more tzatziki. I'd go as far as to say it's the best I've ever had with its consistency and flavor. The pieces of cucumber in the gyro itself helped to had texture and enhanced the flavor as well. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and paired nicely with the Heinz on the table. Impressed with the meal itself, I opted to purchase a piece of fresh baklava afterward. It blended crispy with savory and sweet for a perfect match. The place itself is a little quaint spot located on the edge of town, but don't let that fool you. There was plenty of space here, so seating shouldn't be a problem unless you catch a rush. For those interested, the employee said they can also handle large orders too! Green Cove should be happy to have another amazing spot that provides a different option from the norm. Give this place a try! read more

What a great experience. We were greeted immediately by Ramon and he offered us each a small plate with samplings from the "hot bar" and explanations on all. None needed as they were all great! He explained how they do a bowl type meal as well as platters. We opted for a souvlaki chicken over Romain with as many add ons you wanted such as black or brown beans, grilled veg, roasted potatoes, corn, Kalamata olive, tom, cucumber, grape leaves, feta, tzatziki, hummus(we ordered a side as well and then one to go!) and a few other items. Other bowl was over Med rice w/barbacoa and gyro and a bunch of sides. First off, the gyro is off a spit, not reheated frozen flat pieces like in a take home kit, so it was thick, tender and so good. Everything in these were fresh and as the name implies, flavorful. You order at counter then sit. Ramon kept checking on us and kept our ice tea glasses full. Very attentive and professional. The place is spotless as far as we could see and bright. No blasting music, just light sounds of some and appropriate. As said, we had to take a hummus home and it comes packed with homemade pita crisps as well as a heated pita soft bread. All together great food and service experience and now we know for sure. Will be a staple in our dining out experiences. Side note- was a torrential downpour when we went to leave, before I gathered up my to go bag, Ramon had grabbed an umbrella and escorted my wife to our car while holding it over her alone!!! Wow, not that's how you win over customers, a real gentleman!!! If in GCS, do yourself a favor, it may look like a small lil out of the way place on the end of a gas/convenience store area, but do not let that discourage you from going, you will not be disappointed!! Also, whole meal, $34 bucks!! read more

Magic Flavor - Bowl and large 2 item platter. So good! - Desserts Near Me - Green Cove Springs, Florida

Magic Flavors Mediterranean Restaurant /Green Cove Magic Flavors is a real hidden gem! The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and made with a lot of love. We were giving a sample plate, and it was absolutely perfect. Meat options are vast. The pulled pork was my fave! -- juicy meat, fluffy rice, and a side salad that was actually crisp and refreshing. Their hummus and pita were some of the best I've had in the area.thwir Taziki sauce is addictive. So fresh. Lots of salad options, vegetarian options, burger, and more. If you arent adventurous...there's also quesadillas, fries, etc. The staff was super welcoming and helpful in explaining the menu. You can tell it's a family-run place, and they really care about making sure you leave happy...like family The portions were generous, and prices are very fair for the quality. The atmosphere is casual but clean, making it great for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to. If you love Mediterranean food (or even if you've never tried it before), Magic Flavors is a must-visit! Not spicy and so full of flavor. --- Would you like a second version that's a little shorter or more formal too, depending on where you want to post it? Also, did you want me to mention any specific dishes you tried if you went there already? read more

Two of my friends and I decided to try this restaurant since it was relatively new. We were not disappointed. There is basically a Mediterranean menu but other dishes may be had as well. The chef was careful to prepare both my salad and sandwich without anything onion! That was very nice! Plenty of food on the servings, too! The waitstaff is very cooperative and pleasant. There's a bit of decor and perhaps they'll add to it as the months go by. I'm sure I will make a return visit! read more

Always a great trip here for lunch. The staff is super friendly, the food is great, and it doesn't break the bank.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch today, first time we'd ever been to "Magic Flavor." The fellow behind the counter heard me say "we've never been here" and proceeded to give us rack a little sampler tray with each of the meats, and a little rice. Everything was so good! I really liked the beef barbacoa so I got a plate of that with black beans & rice, wife got a salad with olives and such and tzatziki on the side. We absolutely loved it. Great service, good price, and the food was so tasty! read more

I love this food! I was nervous to try it the first time because I have a hiatal hernia and spices dont love me but nothing is overwhelming and ive had no problems digesting. I always get a bowl (similar to chipotle but so much better), I have finally narrowed down my absolute flavor explosion favorite. yellow rice, steak, iceburg lettuce, pico, tomato cucumber, cheese, corn and 2 big tablespoons of that delightful yogurt, cucumber dill sauce- that stuff is magical and probably where they got the name of the shop. Owners are great and everyone I take there they give a generous sampling of the meats so they know what they like best before ordering. The meatballs and pork are also very tasty but after many bowls I cant pass up that tender steak (similar flavor to a roast beef) / of course you can get several meats in your bowl too and lots of sides, including assorted greens, several types beans, potatoes and sauces. read more

Wanted something different so tried Magic Flavor. There is plenty of parking out front. They have a display case with various choices. They offered us a variety sample dish, nice touch. Everyone was friendly and we got our food quick. You pretty the counter. We ate at a booth. Everyone got a little something different and we were all very happy with our choices. The tazzicci was excellent I couldn't finish all my food and I was very satisfied. Highly recommend and will eventually try different dishes. read more

Always enjoy trying out new restaurants. When you walk in the front door you see two cases food and told the dishes are all homemade. Looks like lots of tasty items to choose from. We tried the gyros and much to our surprise the meat is pre-packaged - very bland. French fries and tzatziki sauce were both good. Staff were friendly and wanted to make sure we had a good dining experience. Bathroom was clean, as well as the rest of the restaurant. I would give this restaurant another try - ordering fresh homemade foods from the front cases. PS They shared a sample of the homemade hummus - excellent! read more

It's basically a "mom n pop" shop kinda vibe but really it's pop n pop (unless moms in the back). I almost don't wanna provide a good review because then everyone will wanna go but the Food & service is overwhelmingly deserving of 5 Stars! No need to look up at the menu, the best dishes are right there in front of you! Understandably, the place is called Magic Flavor for a reason because your tastebuds are gonna do backflips! These two Egyptian guys ROCK when it comes to adding the right spices! Do I sound excited? I am! Aside from the tiny corner they've managed to squeeze this lil restaurant into and a fairly busy parking lot (parking limited) the place will not disappoint. Love, love, love it! read more

First off, the staff is amazing. We were offered a sample plate and it was so delicious. Hard to choose what to actually order. Ordered the chicken and added all the extras to it. Flavors were definitely magical! Can't wait to come back!! read more

I would like to start off by saying that this review is long overdue. (I would have written it sooner, but I kept getting halfway through eating my food before I'd remember to take a picture of it still looking nice LOL) Today was third time going to Magic Flavor, and it did not disappoint. This time, as every time previously, I was greeted with a warm smile and a "Welcome in, how are you today?" the moment I walked through the door. They are always happy to see you and serve you. Magic Flavor has a wide variety of Mediterranean and American options to choose from. Everything is beautifully seasoned and made fresh daily. See something unfamiliar and new to you? No problem! They've always been happy to let you have a sample. In fact, the first time I went there, the owner insisted on whipping up a mini plate of an assortment of the meats and vegetables to choose from at the hot bar. All three times I've gone, I've always gotten a bowl. It's filling and satisfying, plus I love having wide variety of things on my plate when there are so many yummy things to choose from. Today I ordered a bowl with half chicken and half steak with white rice, black beans, roasted potatoes, corn, hot veggie medley, tomatoes and cucumbers, Kalamata olives, tzatziki, and one stuffed grape leaf. Delicious! My husband ordered the gyro with fries. He says he enjoyed everything, and I know the fries were good and well seasoned because I took two of them. As for the ambiance, the whole restaurant looks clean and neat. There's a decent sized area on the left side of the restaurant containing an alley of about 12 tables. Each table has some condiments and napkins. The napkin dispensers are awesome, they have hand written "thoughts of the day", bible verses, and jokes on them that they seem to change out frequently. I love seeing when mom and pop businesses add personal touches like that. Altogether, going to Magic Flavor has always been a great experience; the food is consistently delicious and fresh, and they're always happy to see you. What more could you ask for? I'm so happy to have such a great local eatery in my neighborhood. I encourage anyone reading this to try going there today! Make a trip to Green Cove Springs if you have to, it'll be worth it. read more

Magic Flavor - Mediterranean bowl - pick your own toppings! Sooo good! - Desserts Near Me - Green Cove Springs, Florida

Decided to finally try magic flavor after passing by it over a dozen times. I am thoroughly pleased with their service and their food!! Originally I was going to just try a sandwich but after DJ offered me a small sample of their meats and rice I couldn't say no to getting a bowl. The experience is similar to a chipotle style bowl but with amazing Mediterranean style meats, rice, tzatziki, humus, veggies, even baklava. Everything I tasted was amazing and 1/2 of the bowl had me full and saving the rest for later. Will definitely be back to try them out more the price is very good for what you get, can't wait to order from them again. :) read more

I think they need to change their name to magical flavors because that is what they are serving up!!! Newbies like us were tempted with a free sample plate(which is especially nice when eating at a new place). Everything we sampled was a win and made it tough to choose. We both chose bowls which were loaded up with our choice of meat and toppings. The portion was large and could easily be shared. The restaurant was immaculately clean and the staff very friendly.
