Baklava?
Derek K.

Locally well priced and great proportioned Greek food. My friend and I both ordered what the other person preferred. He appreciated the falafel and I loved his shawarma plate along with the pita and hummus that I got. We were gifted amazing soup and desserts while we waited which really made an impression. It felt homie and very clean inside. These people care about their restaurant. Unfortunately I will take off a star because we waited for awhile, even with their apology, and his food didn't come with a pita as it showed on their photo. I think anyone who wants Greek should support them.

This place is just like its food and owners. AMAZING!! This is a family owned business and the owners are so friendly and kind. I really wanted to try the baklava and not only did I try the baklava which was delicious and decadent but also Abby greeted me with a sample of her creation of a cream filled phyllo dough pastry. I ended up taking a pound of sweets and sharing them with friends because I can't gate keep this place I also took 2 plates of whatever she recommended, (the pictures are below) which was so good and flavorful. I enjoyed how warm and inviting this place felt. Thank you Abby And Mariam for making my visit so special and sharing a part of your story with me

Kofta beef plate
Patricia B.

I really wanted to love this place as it is conveniently located and has decent parking. I usually get the hamburger meat kebab, which they call Kofta beef skewers. I saw the description and is seemed to be cubideh or at least similar. Well, the plate includes 2 pieces of the meat and they were small compared to other places. Also, they did not have much flavor/onion/spices and were quite lean. I do like meat just with salt, so that was OK, but I was expecting a much more flavorful (and bigger) skewers. The meat was quite dry/lean but I am still giving 4 starts because it was a decent meal and the staff was very friendly. I placed the order in a rush and picked up in a rush. I do remember seeing the option for the meat temperature when I was going to order earlier, and I thought about selecting medium or medium well, but I do not remember making a selection, so I do not know if I am confused about it or if it defaulted to well done and I did not notice. I did like the addition of hummus to the plate, and the salad was good. Also, the rice was not my favorite, it had sort of a sweetness to it, I think it tasted like cardamom, which I was not expecting. I will try to stop by with more time and chat with the staff and ask some questions to see if I can find another favorite because I ordered what I always order at mediterranean places and it did not go well. There was no sumac in my bag, just a small container with some sort of mayonnaise dip, it looks pink so it may have some sumac but I did not taste it in the dip or the meat.

Turkish and Arabic kebab
Michael T.

The food here was fire! The service was phenomenal! Will absolutely tell my friends and family to eat here. The place is cute and warm inside. Amazing choice. Turkish and Arabic kebabs were awesome.

Love Chicken Shawarma Platter
Jeffrey M.

Tender Grilled to perfection! Homemade Hummus with Round Pita. Garlic Dip on the Side. Owner so interested in her guests. When you order a platter you are served a small bowl of lentil soup. Great touch to keep your Tastebuds engaged. Yellow Rice is the base of this dish. Desserts are to die for, need to keep the weight off. Everything is made on the premise! Take away box!

Chicken Shawarma Plate
Sue H.

What a lovely charming local ethnic restaurant! We visited for lunch with a 4-year-old after swim lessons at nearby Hubbard family swim school. Well standing in line looking at the menu, she managed to tip over all of the velvet ropes, their plastic stanchions are top-heavy and quite a hazard in the lobby. Does foot traffic really justify this clap trap? Two employees watched us struggle to right then, one was literally standing right there and did nothing. The child could have been hurt, so this needs to be addressed. Our cashier was very smiley but seemed not to understand any of my questions. In the menu pictures they show the gyros as a pressed and formed prefab sheet not shaved. So I didn't order gyros. I chose the chicken shawarma plate but didn't understand it came with items (besides salad and rice) which I could not eat due to diet restrictions. I would not have paid for a platter with giant Pita and hummus, I would have gotten a simpler dish which I could have eaten fully. The chicken was very tender and the shawarma was more deeply seasoned than I am accustomed to. However, I really prefer white meat and I believe this was dark. I am thankful it was not covered with the traditional mayonnaise shawarma sauce. It was on the side. I'd much prefer tzatziki unfortunately I did not know to ask for it. The rice was fluffy basmati and they generously brought lentil soup for the table to start the meal. The preschooler devoured two soups and our hostess was so amused she brought more for us to take to go. My companion ordered a beef shawarma platter and was very happy with her choice, it was shaved ground meat as I would have expected the gyros to be! We all had leftovers, my husband had an entire meal off mine. So the value is high even if your entree is $17. I would like to see lunch specials, or smaller versions made available on the menu! This family business goes out of their way to be personal, cordial and provide over the top generous food, with a few minor potholes to fill. The bakery looks fabulous too!

Beef Shawarma
Kiki L.

This place is delicious! The baklavas was sooo amazing - loved the pistachio one!! We got a beef shawarma flatbread - delicious. The French fries are good but likely from a bag. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the jalapeno poppers. We will be back!

Entrace
Neal D.

Wow! Why did it take me so long to visit this place. Maybe cos its tucked around the side of 40th and T Bird... Well, first impressions as you walk in the door is amazing,,, larger than you think from outside, colorful umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and the smell of incredible fresh prepared sweets, almonds, pistachios honey and flaky pastries! Ordered the Giro plate meal, great portion size and perfect hummus included, prepared in house i think. Giro meat was well flavored and juicy with a fresh pita. Family owned and operated and it shows, met the daughter, son and Dad, great atmosphere, with a lot of locals dropping in for tea a pastries. This will become a regular visit for me!

Beef Gyro plate
Stephen L.

I'm glad I found another middle eastern restaurant and supporting a small business. The ambiance was nice with hanging umbrellas throughout the store. Reminding me of that section in Puerto Rico where ppl take pictures. As for the food: Beef/lamb Gyro: I was say 9/10, the basmati turmeric rice was a little tough, could be due to overcooking or less water, but overall great. The meat seasoning had a good flavor and definitely you can't taste the gaminess from the lamb. Chicken Shawarma: I will give this 8.5/10, as the flavor of the chicken was great but a tad bit dry. Sweets: definitely the first thing you smell walking into the store. That rich buttery sense that hits you right in the nose. Yum ! In terms of service: great, got my food shortly after ordering with my hour lunch.

Chicken Tikka plate

Food was very fresh and favorful. The staff was friendly and amiable. We love the food AND the sweets. I keep coming back and it's always delicious!

Great family owned restaurant! The food was very good! My family mainly came here for the sweets but saw the food and end up trying a combo plate to go. While we were waiting, they let us try a cup of lentil soup which was very flavorful! We all enjoyed it! The food was great but the baklava was delicious! Just the right amount of nuts and sweetness! We love the pistachio ones. If you're in the area check them out! You will not be disappointed!

Navita P.

Sooo happy my fellow yelpers recommended this restaurant!! The kindest lady who seemed to be the owner took my order and I observed her interaction with other customers and she was very welcoming and attentive to everyone. I got the falafel and I was very pleased with my plate. Very filling for the long day of driving I had ahead of me. Whenever I'm in town I will visit.

Is the food organic or halal?

Yes, its Hala

Is there a Patio?

There is no patio.

I am tempted to try this place, especially since I just received a coupon in the mail. I am a bit perplexed by the amount of 5 star reviews from people that have not posted any other reviews. So is this place good for real or just pumped up?

I have many reviews and I loved it. But it's my kind of food!

Are you open on Sundays?

It was my first time trying it and the combination of a warm cookie with ice cream was perfect. The ice cream melted into the toppings and made every bite so good!

I have seen many food trucks while working on the various Arizona State University campuses, though…read moreI was recently introduced to The Scookie Bar, and what a treat it was (literally and figuratively!). There is a nice variety of sweet treats, and the service provided by the team inside the truck was stellar. One of our student organizations was hosting The Scookie Bar, and after walking around their event, you could score a ticket for a complimentary Scookie. As we pre-ordered so many as incentives for our students, I thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately, something wasn't set up properly so we didn't have the cookies themselves, but we did have sundaes. We had six options to decide between. I went with The Standard consisting of vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, and chocolate sauce, and on a normal day, there would have bene a chocolate chip cookie, too. The other five options included the Chocolate Lover, The Celebration, The Signature, Reese's Lover, and The VNA. While I enjoyed the sundae, I'm sure it would have been even better with the cookie included. The Scookie Bar is "where the scoop met the cookie" and serves freshly baked, warm deep-dish skillet cookies also known as scookies. They have a location at The Churchill in Downtown Phoenix, though I would assume I would more regularly see them when their food truck stops by ASU. Their Churchill location is closed on Monday but open Tuesday through Friday from 5-10 PM and Saturday and Sunday from Noon to 10 PM. If you want to order catering, it includes 2 hours of service and a 100 scookie minimum. They can provide a Build Your Own Menu where guests can choose the cookie, ice cream, and toppings, or they can choose from the Signature Scookie Menu which is what ASU did. They have been operating since 2016 in Phoenix. Now that I realize that I was missing the chocolate chip cookie, I need to try it again with that included! I definitely recommend this sweet treat to others.

Have a meal at The Sicilian Butcher and then follow that up with dessert at The Sicilian Baker. There are several locations in town, with this one being in North Phoenix. On my most recent visit, I stopped by on a Thursday. Parking tends to be busy in their complimentary lot, but you'll find a spot. Ambiance (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is connected to The Sicilian Butcher. It's a small bakery, with only a few seats. More of a grab-and-go type of spot or the source of your dessert if you're dining at the restaurant. While small, the decor and ambiance is nice. Service (3/5): A little bit of bad luck, but on my most recent visit, they were having trouble with their refrigeration so no gelato was available. While interacting with the staff, it was an average experience. I will say that the service was much better in the restaurant. Drinks (N/A): I only got dessert, but they do have coffee and a few other beverages available. Food (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is known for its cannolis, tiramisu, gelato, and lobster claws (dessert, not real lobster haha). On my most recent visit, I had a cannoli. They have your classic cannoli but also a nice variety of other fillings including pistachio, Reese's, and more. A+ for creativity, though I decided to stick with the classic. Solid. In fact, all of the desserts I've had here over the years have been quite good.

I can't speak on the customer service as we never left our table and our waited just walked over and got what we needed. We were pretty stuffed from our massive meal, but we decided on sharing a cup of gelato just to satisfy our sweet tooth. I peeked inside as our table was right at a little walkway from the restaurant to the bakery. Gelato is just one of many things they serve here. They also have all your typical Italian desserts. Cakes like tiramisu, pastries like Italian flag cookies, cookies like Italian wedding cookies, cannolis of different varieties, and of course gelato. What was suggested to us if we wanted gelato was the hazelnut flavor. I was expecting a little cup for the 6 of us just to get a taste, but what he brought over was a massive serving. I don't know how many scoops it was or even how much we even paid, but we all got plenty with some even left behind. Now this gelato was life changing. Probably the best I've had in the states. I know it's gotta be way better in Italy, but I'll take what I can when I can. Think of a Ferrero Rocher but in gelato form. It was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a little crunch with bits of chocolate and hazelnuts. My sweet tooth was extremely satisfied after having dessert here. I have literally been thinking about that gelato since I left Phoenix. Luckily this company has locations in Texas so I will definitely be seeking out this gelato soon.

It's smooth, rich without being too heavy, and the flavor actually develops as you eat it instead of just being one-note sweet. You can tell they take this part seriously. Leave it outside the fridge for an hour and watch that cheesecake melt on your tongue crystals (if you have the patience for that) Their rotating monthly flavors keeps things interesting, and you're not just stuck with the same lineup every time. Out of what I tried, the banana pudding one was easily a standout--super nostalgic, creamy, and just done right without being overly sweet. The coconut one was also up there, more subtle but still really clean and flavorful. Love me some coconut! They also have a punch card system--buy 9 slices, get the 10th free--which is a nice touch. It lowkey turns into a mission because once you've tried one flavor, you kinda want to work your way through all of them anyway. Now...the downside. The customer service just isn't great. It's not aggressive or anything, just noticeably lacking. There's not much warmth or engagement--it feels pretty transactional. For a place that clearly puts effort into their product, you'd expect at least a baseline level of hospitality, and it's just not really there. So overall, if you're going to Banhams, go for the cheesecake. The rotating flavors keep it fresh, the quality is legit, and it's definitely worth trying. Just don't expect much from the service side, and you'll enjoy it a lot more.
