The restaurant has either a building with elevator access or down the stairs around the corner, so lots of accessibility. The people at this restaurant are amazing. They definitely go above and beyond to make your experience wonderful. The restaurant has a section for private dining and a larger casual area. It's clean, it's spacious and nothing but tip top service. We had catering from them for approx 1000 people and they did not disappoint. Djole and his team worked hard to get the food prepped and delivered on time and more importantly - hot and delicious. They listened to what our needs were and adjusted accordingly with their expertise. Chicken souvlaki - 10/10 super juicy and grilled beautifully Moussaka (vegetarian) 100/10- the vegetables were layered and cooked to perfection. The creamy mix of potatoes on top add a lovely depth to the dish. Spanikopita bites 10/10 - on point and delicious Rice - flavorful Potatoes - super yummy Overall, nothing but great things to say about this team. Love them!

The cheese did some heavy lifting to earn an overall food rating of 3.5 / 10. Truly, truly bad. Great service, borderline awkward contrast. Relaxed (empty) atmosphere, go figure...

We ordered "Coban salad" for starters and also enjoyed "Sultan Beetroot Tort with freshly baked pita" that was included in all Kebab menus. For main dish, we ordered "Adana Kebab" and "Chicken Shish Kebab". Both were deliciously seasoned and cooked. Chicken Shish wasn't too oily, which we really appreciated as it was one the healthiest meals we could find in a restaurant. The service is good in general, but sometimes it's hard to attract the staff's attention and it might take longer for your request to be met.

Perfectly seasoned and simple, but delicious. Overall amazing. Highly recommend.

It's a long way away from my place but it was worth the drive. The delish food can not be compared to any of those chain places that's been making their way around. You know the one that's selling shawarma with basketball players... I guess marketing knows their target audience - I for one don't get it. If I was a world class athlete, why would I eat plastic food. Go figure... and like I always do for some reason... I digress! LOL! Let's get back to Reco! Reco is a family owned and run business that's less than a month old. Though we are in the middle of a pandemic and lockdowns are stressful on small businesses, they decided it's time to open. They feel that fresh quality food will keep the customers happy and the doors open. That's what I call confidence in one's product! I wish them the best because I am definitely HAPPY! Everything is basically inhouse made and prepared fresh. The dips, salads, and dressing are all made on the premise. The meats are cut and seasoned by the staff and cooked over REAL CHARCOAL grills. Let's bring traditional cooking and flavours back! Oh... even the baklava is made traditionally and in house - I think I bit my lip thinking about this while writing this review [insert teary eye emoticon - and when will YELP allow emoticons!!!!???] Falafel lovers... their falafel is probably one of the best I've had - seriously! The outside crust is crispy and the inside is moist and tasty. They have a secret blend but if you are a true mid-east lover - you can guess what the ingredients are... I DID and probably the only one so far! Nailed it! Just call me the Fantastic Falafel Foodie! What can I say, I strive for perfection in my Foodie Studies! LOL! :D The staff here is the friendliest and warmest of people. I am jealous of all you West Dwellers as you have quite the gem of a place for you to get great quality and tasting food. During this Pandemic and Lockdown, it's important to help support our local and independent businesses. I've been going to many new and existing business to support them. Let's all do what we can or we may be left with eating Clown Food and wearing Paper Crowns while making a Run For the Border - and no one wants that! CHEERS!!!

The owners are run by women are passionate about their food and makes pretty well everything from scratch on the premises. Fresh local ingredients are used. The meat for the kebabs are halal and cooked on a charcoal grill for an authentic smokiness just like how it's done in their homeland of Egypt. I recommend their Mix Grill ... includes Chicken, Lamb and Kofta and 2 sides for $19.00. And you can't go wrong with The chicken Shawarma on rice The chicken Shaklee is tender and so flavourful. I also recommend their homemade mushroom soup There is a selection of vegetarian dips and salads for $9,90. The portions here are huge and reasonable. If you are in the area.. I recommend you go visit this place.

Yeah...I know...tough life! This little store front is easy to find and had a couple of parking spots right in front of it. Upon entering the shop, you know it's a family run place trying to be something to everyone. That is plain to see in their menu. It has Mediterranean, Greek, mid-east, Latin American, and American food items pasted on various flyers and menus. I opted for the gyros and a salad...to go...maybe a mistake. The gyros was standard fare - probably the same meat on a spit as the Mr.Greek's of the world. So was the salad and dressing. Not complaining - I kind of like Mr. Greek's. OK...OK...you Greek Food Snobs, it's not be authentic...I know!!! Please no hate messages! My mistake wasn't because it wasn't "REAL" Greek food, it was the take out aspect. By the time I got back, the pita was soaked with tzatziki - really should ask for it on the side. Hard to eat but it was tasty! I know it's off the beaten path but the place is kind of worth dropping in - if you want something different. Cheers.

Tried Melina's Grill twice already this month in Baden and I had very high hopes and was extremely…read moreexcited to have it in the neighborhood. It is a new establishment and we are always happy for new business' to open up in the area, especially restaurants. On the first visit, we tried the gyro and chicken souvlaki on a pita. I must say, the gyro itself was delicious that visit and the chicken souvlaki was on the okay, but the pita was on the tough side. The yogurt sauce needed a kick of garlic and the filling itself, needed more onions. It just lacked flavour for the most part. Decided to give it another try a week later. This time had papusas, gyro souvlaki dinner, calamari and chicken fingers with fries. This time around, it was definitely a bust, sad to say. The papusas were definitely not freshly made to order. It was dense, oily and I just did not have that experience that I was eating an authentic papusa and I have had many in the past from several restaurants and homemade by my El Salvadorian's friend's mom. The pickled cabbage that traditionally comes with papusas were good though! As for the gyro souvlaki dinner, the portion was very small for its price point which is almost $14. The gyro was too salty that day, salad was just a small handful, but the rice was tasty but not on the generous side. The calamari was soggy and the chicken fingers and fries were definitely just store bought which is fine I guess. If improvements are made, then maybe my family and I will give it another chance in the near future. Just as an added note, on both visits, the place wasn't at all busy, as we avoid the lunch and dinner crowd.
