    shysh lamb wrap

    The shysh lamb wrap for lunch today was literally the best thing I've eaten in Cincinnati. I was worried it was going to be overpriced but for the amount and quality of food it was worth every penny. The lamb was perfect, the pickled vegetables were amazing. The cream sauce was on top of the wrap instead of inside which made it a bit messy to pick up but that's what napkins are for. The people working were very kind and actually waited to make my to-go online order until I arrived so it would be fresh since they weren't too busy. The desserts and dips looked incredible and I am already planning my next visit. Oakley kitchen itself was great -- looks like lots of good options to try in one place, plenty of seating upstairs .

    Mashawi musakala

    My friend and I split their mashawi musakala plate for Asian food week. The lamb was especially good. The $30 plate was suggested for 2 people, so while it was a little pricey, we both left extremely full with leftovers.

    Best Falafel in Cincinnati! Hands down! Perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

    They are located in Hamilton, Ohio serving up some seriously good and authentic Palestinian food!…read moreWe tried their kibbeh, falafel, fries, hummus, philly cheesesteak, and their limited time chicken over rice! The flavors of everything was unreal! The restaurant has a great ambiance with beautiful, traditional Palestinian decor. The service is amazing too!

    I needed some tasty takeout and gyros sounded really appealing! This restaurant is located in the…read moreBridgewater Falls shopping center, but it's easy to find using the Yelp pin and GPS. Looks to be a quick serve setup, where you order and pay at the counter and they deliver to your table. I saw a few people dining in. Nice and clean inside with simple and soothing decor. Got two gyros and an order of stuffed grape leaves to go. The gyros were absolutely enormous where you need a fork to eat at least half the meat before you could even think about holding it. Nice and fresh and very tasty, though I was expecting the meat to be much more thinly sliced, and it was a wee bit short on the Tzatziki. Note to self: order extra on the side. The grape leaves were perfect, lemony and refreshing with a nice slightly crisp bite to reveal the tender filling. Beautifully wrapped too so nothing spilled out. I called my order in. I noticed the website must be directly powered by a third party delivery system as it had inflated prices, even if you choose the pickup option. So pick up the phone and call if you want to pay the regular menu prices. The gentleman who took my order and waited on me was very polite and cheerful. I'll be back!

    I used to live in Mason, about 2 miles north of Phoenician Taverna. First time there was for a late…read morelunch. After a Great Clips haircut, on the recommendation of the stylist, I tried it out, was very impressed. Been there many times since, never been disappointed. I've since moved to Liberty Twp. but the Phoenician still beckons. Had dinner last night there with my wife. It was a wonderful experience. I felt it was high time I wrote them up. We started with an excellent double-hop IPA and a great Lebanese red wine, I think it was called Kefraya. Gonna seek it out locally, maybe at Jungle Jim's. As always, the pita bread is fresh, oven-hot and delectable. The shankleen appetizer is outstanding, a lovely fusion of greens, lentils, feta cheese, olive oil and spices. Wife ordered schwirma - slow-grilled combo of sliced chicken alongside sliced beef and lamb. The waiter obligingly substituted a side of couscous for rice, no extra charge. I had a braised shank of lamb in a rich tomato sauce. Both entrees were delicious. As always, the portions were very generous, so we took food home along with complimentary fresh pita bread. Besides the great food, the service is superb. The owner makes a point of stopping at each table to ensure that the diners are happy. We look forward to our next visit.

Finally she made reservations for Saturday evening (it is recommended because they get super busy). We got there and was greeted by the owner. BTW, was very down to earth. So their menu looked good (Lebanese food). There is so much to choose from and hard to decide. I especially loved their drink menu, especially wines. We ended up ordering: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches Almaza Pilsner My favorite from the appetizers is the eggplant and falafel! Super fresh and the bread that came with it was so good. Even the dipping sauce was amazing. My Shawarma chicken was super delish. You have to put the garlic butter on the rice! It gives it great flavor. My Mr enjoyed his meal as well. We definitely had to get a to go box because there was so much food. But we will look forward the next day to eat it. Overall, the service was great and I loved the experience. We can see ourselves coming back for more! I can see why my best friend loves it here! Highly recommend you try it.
