    Sweets
    Natasha A.

    We loved it here. We had the Baba Ganoush, Kabob plate, Falafel plate, and Kanafeh and everything was great! We will be back.

    Gyro Beef plate
    Julie K.

    It's a cute little place with sweets. We had gyro plate. The portion size was great. You order food and they deliver to you. They brought us lentil soup while we waited for our food. The desserts looked tasty. I will have to try them next time.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    Turkish and Arabic kebab

    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.

    Pastrami is a fat delivery system. That is the entire point of the cut, the cure, the smoke, and…read morethe steam. Whoever built this sandwich decided fat was a liability, trimmed the brisket down to something you'd find in a hospital cafeteria, and then served it anyway. What arrived was a stack of lean, gray-edged slices with no give and no moisture whatsoever. You could hear it more than taste it. Chewing produced no juice, no render, nothing. It just sat there getting smaller. I am not exaggerating when I say you would need a glass of water on the table to dunk it in, and even then I'm not confident it would go down. Then the rye. Somebody griddled it in butter, which coats the crumb in dairy and flattens the caraway into nothing. Rye for pastrami gets a light toast at most, and that's if it needs anything at all. Butter turns it into a grilled cheese chassis with the cheese removed. On a pastrami sandwich it's a category error. My people spent two thousand years perfecting this sandwich. Somebody in that kitchen reverse-engineered it back into jerky on a sponge. There are delis in New York that would treat this as a personal provocation. I've eaten the correct version of this sandwich. It comes carved by hand, on untoasted rye, with enough fat to shorten a life. That's the deal. You give up a few years and you get something worth eating. What this place serves takes the years and gives nothing back. Two dollars less and it's a bad lunch. At this price it's contempt. The coleslaw does not save it. One star, and that's for the plate.

From the outside, the place doesn't look like much, tucked away in a small shopping center. Once inside, there are a plentiful number of tables in the smallish restaurant, which does not feel at all cramped. It is tastefully decorated, and you order at a counter, and they will either call you to get your food or bring it out to you. On the day we were there, the owner was behind the counter and took our order. He asked if we had been there before, and since I had not, he took the time to explain the menu to me. They focus nearly exclusively on chicken tenders, and we opted to share The Three Tenders, which comes with...you guessed it...three chicken tenders (with your choice of heat level), three warmed tortillas, pickles, and alley sauce (the house dipping sauce) on the side. We added sides of French fries and Cole slaw, and the owner gave me a free fountain drink since it was my first time there. So nice! We grabbed a high-top table, and once the food came out, and I bit into the first tender, I knew I was eating the best chicken tenders I have ever eaten. Seriously. These are awesome and at a decent price, too. The tenders are very large and perfectly breaded. The spiciness matches the heat level you choose--not to little and not too much. No mushy tempura batter here either. And the house dipping sauce was perfectly suited to the tenders. The fries and slaw were great, too. If you like chicken tenders, you won't regret trying Hot Chicken Alley!

I first heard about this place from a friend who lives in Tucson but didn't give much thought to it until I actually saw the restaurant a few months ago while I was at another store in the shopping center. After multiple visits, I can conclude that I enjoy more of their cold sandwiches than their grilled/hot ones. My top three picks in no particular order would be the Baggin's club, high Baggin's, and the chicken rojo. All are different in their own way, but what they do have in common is that they are jam packed with ingredients and bursting in flavor. I haven't tried all their soups and sides yet but from what I've tried so far, I would say the tomato basil bisque has been my favorite. It accompanies well with many sandwiches I've had. The only thing I didn't care for much from here were any of the sandwiches with chicken. Their chicken was a bit too dry for my preferences. So far, I've yet to have a bad experience here. The staff are always warm, friendly, and patient. They try to get your orders out in a timely manner, but they do get busy at times. I usually take my food to go but they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options if you want to dine in.
