    Today we were blessed to meet Isam the owner of His gracious and thoughtful attention made us feel so amazing He shared his famous lemonade which was absolutely delicious Rose water made for an incredible and delicious drink Make sure you order it Of course the food was delicious This is definitely a must to come eat here

    Can't recommend this place enough. It is owned by the kindest people and the food is so fresh and made with love. I get the lamb kebab plate which comes with so much food for such a reasonable price. The owners are so kind and let me try their lemonade for free, which turned out to be the best lemonade I've ever had. I don't think you can go wrong with a single thing on their menu or from their grocery items. Extremely authentic and genuine food and people. The restaurant/shop itself is covered with beautiful artwork with plenty of seating inside .

    Honestly I never realized this place was here. I stopped by to pick up late lunch. It's a small grocery store, deli with 3-4 tables. They have a bakery counter also. I wanted to try but couldn't decide. I already had trouble deciding on lunch. The menu has a large variety of items ++. The ladies were super nice and friendly. As I waited for my order they gave me a lemonade made with rose water. Refreshing. The mixed kebab plate was huge and pretty tasty.

    Delicious Mediterranean restaurant, Café, and small market in downtown Phoenix. We stopped in on the way back from the airport to have some lunch. The service is excellent here. Everybody is so friendly and the food is prepared and served with much love. We gorged on hot and tasty, well-prepared and fresh comfort food before our trek back home. We ordered: - Grape Leaves (Dolmades) to share - 5 pieces - Meat or Meatless served with tsatsiki & pita. Served warm. We chose with meat. Reminds us of the authentic, homemade dolmades our neighbor used to make us with the grape leaves she would grow in her yard, which remain our favorite and our standard of measure. - Spinach Pies to share - 2 pieces - Spinach, onions, olive oil, lemon juice and spices, wrapped in a tender dough, hot. So Good! - Meat Pie - 2 pieces- Lean beef and lamb mixed with parsley, onions, tomatoes and pine nuts baked in a tender dough, hot. Mmmmm, love these. - Gyros - Seasoned beef & lamb thinly sliced. Topped with Yogurt-Sour Cream Dressing. Perfect for me. I added my tahini salad for more sauce and ate all of it. - Tahini Salad - Tomatoes, cucumbers, onions & mint in lemony tahini sauce. First time trying this and I ate all of it! Creamy and watery tahini with fresh diced cucumber & tomato with herbs. Fresh and flavorful. - Shawerma - Marinated lamb & beef cooked on horizontal rotisserie, served with Garlic Dressing or Tahini Sauce, served with their hummus or tahini sauce. My son ate everything and said it was really good! He was stuffed. - Mixed Kabab Plate - Skewer of marinated chicken and skewer of lamb grilled, with tomatoes, onions & rice (served with greek salad or tabouli). Approved by Hubs! He ate everything and loved it all. Meat cooked well.

    I had the most wonderful first experience here! My friend frequents this spot, and today we were in the mood for middle eastern food, so of course she took me here. As soon as we walked in we felt such a warm welcome. The owner of this place (i'm assuming) Isam, walked me through the menu giving amazing suggestions and just a run down of what everything was. As I haven't really ventured into middle eastern food I got one of the patties (which my friend says she usually gets) and one of the salads, and it came out fairly quick and was AMAZING. Isam then came up to us during our meal and started chatting, asking if we ever came in before, and telling us the story/ the uniqueness of some of the dishes/drinks. then he started trying to fatten us up lol by having us try certain things. Overall it was such a warm and welcoming experience, like it happened around 2pm on 05/10 and i'm STILL thinking about the food and hospitality. The energy was enough for me to come back, but the food itself was the cherry on top.

    This place is absolutely incredible. Everyone that works here is so kind. The food is absolutely divine. The gluten free meat pies are incredible, you can't even tell it's gf.

    Popped in the afternoon. Surprised to see a mini store located in the restaurant as well. Great items to choose from. This looked like a local spot for the usuals that come in. I ordered the chicken and beef shish kebab-both had great flavors! My favorite was the chicken though. The combo plate came with rice and salad. Very filling. Maybe a shareable plate if you don't wanna be too full. Make sure to get a piece of baklava! Wow! The staff were kind and inviting. Great family owned spot. Check them out! Parking maybe challenging.

    Drove by this place and decided to grab a plate to go! Honestly so good and enjoyed the service they had. They did have a little seating area and have came back again since I last went. Also enjoyed that they have a market.

    This Mediterranean Bakery/Restaurant/Market is my favorite. The food is so fresh. The flavors most definitely pop your flavor muscles The service is so great you honestly feel like family

    Combo Plate

    Walked in and found this place on accident tbh and I am glad we did! When you walk in you see the little market with different foreign products, good selection to try new stuff. Go to the back and you'll see a menu and pastries on display. We were greeted by a nice women. We got the food in like 10 minutes and it came out fresh! The fresh baklava is amazing!!! Some of the best I've had for a while! The chicken was juicy , the steak was tender and cooked right and the mix was also full of flavor. It came with salad and rice and both had great flavor! The ambiance was pretty relaxed and they had a couple people at tables but found a table easily. It is a market mix with some food so it's not an actual restaurant but the food is fresh and good and I would definitely go back. Everyone enjoyed the food and food runner was super friendly as well.

    Ask the Community - Middle Eastern Bakery and Deli

    Why no masks?

    I'm not sure when you came, but the owners and all their employees wear masks.

    Is this place halal? Its not listed on Zabiha.com but I asked the owner and she said all their meat is zabiha halal.

    I asked the owner on Sunday he said everything is halal

    Do they make their own halva?

    Yes. They make everything from scratch as far as I know.

    Are the falafels freshly made to order?

    I'd like to say that yes, they are. I've eaten falafel there nearly every single visit and they have tasted fresh and made to order.

    Is their ful madammas made with fresh beans or canned beans?

    Interesting question...are you a chef?

    Can you buy Shoko B'Sakit (bagged chocolate milk) here?

    Absolutely

I highly recommend trying both, especially if you've never had a Chicago beef. The juicy beef paired with giardiniera is super savory. Damn! I'm craving it again. For lunch on our second visit, we ordered the Chief Beef special and a margherita pizza. This was, by far, the BEST margherita pizza ever! I think I've said that in another review... but for reals this time! The pizza was perfectly crispy on the bottom with just the right amount of basil to top off each bite. For dinner on our third visit, we ordered the clam linguine and an Italian beef sandwich. My husband says this clam linguine was better than the other versions he's eaten at Little Italy. The Italian sandwich was good, but not as savory as the Chicago beef. Can't wait to eat here, again, the next time we visit the Padres during spring training.

One of my favorites to get is their spaghetti and meatballs meals. It comes with salad, garlic bread and the spaghetti and meatballs! Let me tell you the spaghetti and meatballs are so delicious!

Some others that are definitely worth mentioning is their pizza buying per slice (great portion size btw), and their pastas! A must when visiting is getting their pistachio Dubai chocolate cannoli! Their cannolis are made fresh and they really are amazing! The espresso tastes amazing! One thing that really stands out to me is that this deli/ grocery has been in business for a long time and the owners/employees are so welcoming and make you feel at home! They welcome you with genuine happiness. They have outdoor seating and they offer to go. They do have 2 spots for accessible parking and a few ramps. The aisles are pretty tight but if you ask the employers they are more than willing to help out! The entrance of the store is accessible and it's easy to move around.
