My boyfriend ordered the spicy gyro and WOW was it spicy, he asked for more plain tzatziki to try to cool down his mouth and they brought out a new regular gyro for him. They truly go above and beyond to make sure everyone loves their meal. I started with the regular gyro and had the spicy fries, which was the perfect combination of spice and taste for me! Everything is delicious but order the spicy with caution if you have a traditional Midwest pallet.

The gyro meat here is, IMO the true star, and when paired with their fresh lettuce, tomato, red onion and sauces it truly shines. It offers the right balance of pepper, hint of spiciness, alongside a nice crisp savory meatiness that can only be achieved on a proper vertical spit. My extra piece of advice, is get the spicy green sauce on the side. It offers that little extra jalapeño oomph alongside their creamy tzatziki and it's a perfect balance. Bit expensive to dine here for lunch too often so I try to keep it to every few weeks, but what a treat it is when I do allow myself to eat here for lunch. 5/5 goodness guaranteed!

It is way more than just a restaurant, because the attached grocery store stocks everything you could ever need. I love being able to grab hard to find spices, fresh pita, and halal meat like goat or lamb all in one trip. The food in the sit down area is just incredible too. You have to try the hummus. It is seriously creamy and flavorful, probably the best I have had in the city. I also ordered the shawarma recently, and the spices were perfect. The vibe is great, but the workers really make it special. Everyone is super nice and willing to help you find things in the aisles or figure out what to order. It feels very welcoming every time I walk in. If you have not been here yet, you are definitely missing out!

Since I have never had Uzbeki food before, I was excited to come here to try whatever they had, and…read moreI was not disappointed. With a bit of research online beforehand, I decided to order some of the most common dishes in Uzbeki culture, and ended up getting quite a few dishes so I could try a bit of everything. I enjoyed pretty much all the food that I tried. My favorite dish was the samsa because the beef and lamb were seasoned very well, the puff pastry was crispy, and the sauce added a very flavorful layer of succulence. The mantu also had very seasoned meat and tasted like a bigger version of Chinese soup dumplings. I dipped some of it in the chili pepper flakes that my server gave me and it tasted amazing. The lagman soup was also extremely flavorful. It had a good amount of vegetables and very tender beef and hand pulled noodles in bone broth. I also absolutely loved the plav which had super tender and flavorful beef, and carrots, pilaf rice, and chickpeas that were seasoned very well. The amount of oil in the dish also provided a layer of flavor I believe. My friends ordered the khasip and the kebabs and I tasted some of the meat, which was not as tender but still very flavorful, especially the kebabs. The sausage, which contained minced beef, heart, lungs, and rice, resembled what I had in Northern China when I lived there. The nostalgic factor made me enjoy the sausage a lot as well. After lunch, I went next door to the Samarkand Market, and was pleasantly surprised to find many Russian products including chocolate, kvas, pelmeni, and more. I even spoke to the store owners in Russian and picked up their newspaper. The entire restaurant and market experience made me super happy and I will definitely return.

There was a problem with one of the dishes, so that's why it's only at a 3. My friend and I got the lagman, tandoori bread, assorted shish kebabs , and small plov to share. Overall, the food was flavorful and portions were generous. We really enjoyed the lagman's deep flavor. The bread was just okay, as well as the plov. We got a small size, but it was still pretty big. The assorted shish kebabs came with lula, lamb, and chicken. The lula and lamb were great! However, I took a bite of the chicken skewer and it was cold and ended up being raw. We checked the rest of the chicken kebab and found that while the middle pieces were cooked, then ends weren't. We brought this to the server's attention and he was very apologetic and immediately took it away for us. It was not the server's fault for sure. He informed us that he would let the cooks know and offered some alternatives (1. they remake the chicken skewers, 2. remake the whole dish (and I guess we would still be charged?), or 3. just remove it from our check). We chose the third option. Overall, service was friendly and nice. They were just swamped because there was also a banquet that was going on. I wonder if that also contributed to what happened with our food. While I was disappointed, I am willing to give this another try some time later. I would just be hyperaware of how meats are cooked.

The kebab looked really appetizing but was a little under seasoned for me. I saw two other tables with locals that seasoned their food with salt so perhaps it's more of a customer preference than a seasoned meat on the grill. I counted one guy who shook the salt shaker 21 times, which I thought was excessive. Maybe the salt isn't too salty. I added some on mine. I'm comparing this to another middle eastern place near my place. I may consider another dish to try if I go back.

Dined here with a couple of colleagues and ordered a variety of appetizers and mains. Standouts for me were the dahi vada and chicken tikka, thought the latter was a bit unusual in that it was a little saucier that I'm used to and came with random bits of vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc). A couple things I wouldn't reorder were the lamb rogan josh, which was too creamy for my taste, and the makki ki roti, which was smeared with a little too much ghee. The menu is extensive, and I'd be happy to return to try some of the other items.

I love Beirut. It has quickly became one of my favorite local spots…read more It's great for both sit-down and takeout. Their online ordering system is super easy to use, and ordering in person is just as smooth. The menu has such a good variety, everything from fresh salads to wraps and kebab plates. Honestly, everything I've tried has been so good. The garlic sauce is a must, it's incredible. My go-to is the shawarma unwrapped because you get a huge portion and can build it exactly how you want. The food is fantastic and the portions are very generous. The space is clean with plenty of seating, and the staff is amazing. They're so friendly and always make sure you have everything you need.

Lebanese food is just one of those foods that we can't live without. So while we were sad when "The Port" closed, we were excited to hear they were opening Beirut Street Food. Today we ordered their Kabob family meal. That comes with a lot of our favorites. The choice of 4 kabobs, we picked chicken and kafta, 2 vegetable kabobs, salad, their delicious lebanese rice, bread and the addictive toum. We added a few grape leaves and extra bread to snack with that toum. Those who know love bread and tourm. Everything was excellent! I have tried multiple times to make kafta at home and it never is as good as they make it. The chicken is always cooked perfectly. A nice char from the grill, and tender and juicy on the inside. The grape leaves a nice balance of sour from the leaves filled with savory rice and meat. So good. The vegetables were grilled perfectly. Not overly grilled, sweet with a little crisp. Everything was just as we remembered. They are now located in a strip mall with plenty of parking and a few seats inside. While the Sultan is not on their menu., they do have lots of other tasty options that we look forward to returning for.One of our favorite places!
