It has two dipping sauces, marina and oil. For entrees I ordered single chicken kabobs platter with rosemary fries (yum) and Greek salad. It was such a hard choice because they have some awesome sides. Hubby got mixed shawarma, chicken & beef over rice, comes with Greek salad and pita bread. He also asked for a side of spicy sauce, which he loved. Nice clean, gender neutral restrooms. And the dining area was clean and the pacing of the food was on point.

I can't say enough good things about Odeh's Mediterranean kitchen. It's no wonder they are so busy…read moreand every server was busy delivering delicious dishes to every table in the packed dining room on a Tuesday night. I first discovered Odeh's when it was deemed the favorite restaurant by our local Yelp ambassador Erik and they had just a few tables in a small space with just counter service. Since then they have grown to add a larger dining room, table service and expanded their already delicious menu. There is nothing bad here and you can find something for every taste. I usually go with some sort of chicken dish but my husband has tried many of their other favorites and has loved them all. The portions are generous and I usually leave with a container for the next day.

I've been thinking about the Iskander Platter from Kapadokia Grill ever since I had it for the…read morefirst time here. So on a whim my husband and I stopped in for lunch. We didn't even need to look at the menu because we both wanted the Iskander Platter. Lucky we came in when we did because we got the last of it. Since having it the first time, I've watched a few recipe videos on how it's made. It's quite a process and takes a while so it's understandable they can't just make more quickly if they run out. This time it had a little different flavor than the last time. It had a saltier flavor and not quite as buttery as I remembered which was disappointing since that was the best part for me. It was still delicious but I was happy for the yogurt that helped cut the saltiness a little. Possibly the sauce became more concentrated since it was the end of the batch they had. I could only finish half because it's such a large portion but my husband finished his. The service was super friendly as always. The owners here are so lovely and always attentive. I will definitely be back again.

Hot melted butter is drizzled over the top to make it the dish rich and savory. A scoop of yogurt helps to balance it out and a wedge of charred tomato and bell pepper garnish the dish. All served in a long clay dish. This dish is not always available but it is on the menu. If it's available I highly recommend it. It's a bit indulgent and I couldn't eat it every day, but it is unique and delicious and the best Iskender I've ever had.

They set the standard for what all good Greek/Mediterranean food should be, with mouth-watering flavors, great presentation, and portion sizes. This is as Authentic as you can get, with both the spices and ingredients. Super friendly owners and folks that run that restaurant, always making you feel welcomed and appreciated, no matter what time of day you swing by. Never seen them not smile, now that I think about it. Nothing better than sitting outside in the sun with a friend and biting into their Gyros. I've been there plenty of times, and they never disappoint. Honestly can't say I've had a bad thing off of their menus. I don't believe in love at first sight, but when it comes to Taste of Troy's Food, I do!

Truly authentic Greek and Turkish style food at this mom and pop spot. In an unassuming strip mall,…read morethis restaurant has a small footprint, but they pack in all the flavor and love for an authentic experience. They actually have a vertical spit! Very hard to find a spot that cooks the gyro lamb in this authentic style. The lamb gyro was unbelievably flavorful. Meat fresh and tender, complex spices, homemade tzatziki, and a fresh pita to wrap up all that flavor. Also had a Meze sampler with dolmas, hummus, spanakopita, falafel and a side salad. Flavor bombs! My wife said the falafel was one of the best she's ever had. Fresh and crispy on the outside, with a soft and well spiced inside. And the dolmas...you know when you have one that has hard rice inside that is dry and bland? Well this is the exact opposite. Soft and tender rice, juicy and tasty. Last but not least, the owners went above and beyond while we were in there. She was tending to us and making sure everything was to our satisfaction. He was in the kitchen but checked on us, and made sure to acknowledge us on the way out. Pure love pours into their food, and spills over to the customers. Don't miss this one. It's worth it.

Sumela is such a gem. It had been several years since I'd been here, but everything seemed to be…read morethe same. I was craving their Mediterranean salad, and it was just as I remembered. Where else can you get a salad with pasta salad, piyaz, and grape leaves in it? Talk about so many Mediterranean flavors in one bowl! Our server was great; she was very attentive, checking in on us and refilling our waters when needed. Our food came out quickly, and it was fresh and delicious. My spouse ordered the Duram Adana, which was full of flavor, and was definitely spicy. Our only critique was that it came with a bag of chips, though you can get a different side for an upcharge. We shared the Mixed Appetizer plate, which came with hummus, baba ganoush, piyaz, grape leaves, and fresh pita. The baba ganoush was beautifully smoky, and the pita was pillow-y soft. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch spot, or a cute place for date night, be sure to check out Sumela for a great, local place.

Going back over 20 years ago, I worked a few blocks from Sumela and it was my go to for lunch…read moreseveral times a week. I began working for myself around that time and don't eat out much anymore but I do occasionally still make it in when I meet friends or family for lunch. I've noticed a more prominent social media presence lately and in those posts Turkish pizza, pide, was featured. I'm in! We started our dinner with an order of falafel. It's one of my favorite dishes and I make it at home occasionally. My husband ordered the Adana Kebab and I of course just had to try the pide. The choices were only beef or spinach so spinach it was, since we had beef with the other entree. We almost always eat half and switch plates, so we can try several things and this was no exception. As always the adana was delicious, I just love the seasonings in the meat. The tabouleh was very different than I remembered though, consisting of way more greens than much of anything else so the flavor just wasn't the best for me. The pide was yummy, simple and flavorful, a perfect size for a lunch portion in my opinion. Filling but you wouldn't be stuffed. The staff were very attentive and as always, the owner made a few rounds in the dining room. It's great to see a local business standing the test of time and still cranking out good eats!

Recently caught the Ghassan's food truck at a music in the park event, and was very impressed. It…read morewas not only my first time eating from their truck, but eating Ghassan's food in general. The staff were very friendly as we placed our order. They didn't have a huge menu, but what they did offer on the truck sounded good. I ended up getting the Gyro Pita with a side of fries. For being a pretty busy event, they were turning the food out quickly, and we only had to wait a few minutes. Everything came out hot, and tasted great. The gyro was packed with flavor, and sauce. It got a bit messy, but napkins were provided and it was well worth it. The fries were perfectly cooked with a good crunch on the outside, and great texture on the inside. They were also perfectly seasoned. I'm looking forward to trying more of their food soon, maybe at one of the locations next time!

So, I wanted to try something different while in the area…read more The staff were polite. The meal was placed to go and took about 10 mins to come up. As I waited there were a few guests dining in. The drink machine and utensils area were tidy. Overall the appearance of this location was tidy. I ordered the chicken bowl and grabbed a sweet tea. The pickles in this and sauce drizzled atop weren't a great addition. The bowl was bland, the pickled onions were good and crunchy. However bearing the bottom of the bowl it had little to no flavor on the chicken. The thinly sliced chicken appeared compacted in the bowl and all other ingredients were simply tossed in the bowl. This was unfortunately not an appetizing meal or experience. I'm Not certain that I'd want to try any other items.

Still in Winston but near Davidson county ( about 20 minutes south of where I live). Completely worth the drive! I had the Thursday night special, garlic spinach parmesan chicken with rice. I got two sides, fried zucchini and baked apples. I'm not lying, EVERY single thing was delicious! The baked apples had the perfect seasoning to them. The garlic spinach parmesan chicken had like an alfredo type sauce on top and the perfect compliment of a seasoned rice underneath. The chicken was incredibly tender. I would order this exact combo again in a heartbeat. The staff was incredibly friendly. As soon as you walk in you can tell the place is full of regulars. Die hard, never going to miss a night out, regulars. It felt like you were walking into a warm hug. Highly recommend!

We were greeted walking in and seated in the same moment by the hostess. Our server stopped by promptly to get our beverage order. We started with an order of their house made potato chips but they never arrived? Our server dropped off dipping sauce but the chips never got to our table. I opted for the meatloaf with mashed and greenbeans. This was a hearty meal, a nice portion of well prepared meatloaf. The mash was old school rustic style, and good. The greenbeans again old school, like my grandma used to make and very good. The manager came by and apologized for the mishap on the chips and took them off our bill. Dinner was good otherwise, and even with that little misstep still a good choice of a good meal. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the kind staff 01241
