Stopped in for a working lunch on a Monday and had a great experience. Their menu is packed with…read moretempting options, but I went with the chicken souvlaki salad because I was craving dill dressing. The salad was fresh, colorful, and served with warm pita bread, perfect for slopping up every last bit of dressing. We also shared the black bean dip with fried pita chips, which made for a fun and tasty appetizer. Service was exceptionally friendly, and the staff made us feel right at home. This spot is tucked away in a plaza and easy to overlook, but it's definitely worth seeking out. Be sure to check out the daily specials, too. Bonus tip: If you're considering the chicken salad, order it! A friend shared their copycat recipe with me, and the cashews add such a fantastic texture.

I was seated immediately and given my beverage, a cup of hot coffee. In Buffalo in winter, this is…read morea blessing!. The menu has lots of vegetarian options, and many of the desserts are listed as gluten free. The French onion soup broth was delicious, even if the onions were only translucent and not caramelized. The ingredient that did not square with me were the croutons of seeded rye. Maybe a mistake? The color scheme is purple walls with grey baffles. The noise-abatement measures are somewhat nullified by the volume of the overhead speakers playing late 80's/ early 90's British Wave. (Spandau Ballet, anyone?) The waitresses were lovely, and worked well as a team.

Nonetheless, they were all pleasant (no eye-rolling at this establishment- which I hate to say seems to be the new normal!) and even let me sample something I had a question about... Chicken salad veggie pocket was fresh, crisp and full of fresh ingredients. The miso dressing is so good! Can't wait to be back in Buffalo so I can get it again. Decided to add a spinach feta pasta side, as well, but for my palate, the miso dressing is the star of the show! Keep up the good work, guys - thanks for the warm welcome for my first, but not last visit.

My husband stopped here on a whim and brought it home. I have heard excellent things about The…read moreLunch Box for years. We shared the turkey sandwich and Buffalo chicken wrap. While eating the sandwich, I couldn't identify any flavors besides the pickled red onion and obviously the turkey. There was one single piece of green leaf lettuce and a slice of tasteless cheddar that wasn't big enough for the bun. The amount of turkey was ok, but with so few other toppings the bun was overwhelming. I had to look up the description of the sandwich because my husband forgot what it had said and we couldn't identify anything unique. Plus, the proportions were so off I assumed they had forgotten to include something. I can see why he chose it, the description on the menu sounded thoughtfully composed. It says: turkey, cheddar, chipotle-bacon mayo, pickled red onions, & mixed greens on a house-made brioche bun, $13. Technically that's an accurate description, except for the mixed greens. But neither of us could taste chipotle or bacon in the mayo, it added nothing. So this is definitely not a sandwich I would order again and it makes me skeptical of the rest of the menu. I understand that they're making the buns in-house and I appreciate that immensely. But, they aren't that great for housemade fresh bread. They taste like grocery store bakery buns. They could be so much better. It feels like a missed opportunity. The Buffalo chicken wrap was good, not great and it had a big hunk of lettuce core in it. I found it surprising that the cook didn't notice grabbing a large chunk of core when the wrap doesn't have a lot of lettuce in it. It's not like they were grabbing giant handfuls and missed it, which would be understandable. These are corner store quality items with cute cafe prices. So all in all...I don't get it and we won't be back.

For starters the cafe is so spacious with seating inside you can sit here for hours with a good book or work to do sipping one of their drinks. Which i didn't do since I've to go to work the first time i stopped in so i just browsed the baked goodies and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I wasn't going to get anything since i was on a low-key no sugar diet but he talked me into trying one of their scones baked fresh with real fruit. And i am sooo glad he did. The blueberries were bursting with flavor and i love how it was so soft and fluffy compared to the x amount of dry scones I've encountered *happy tear* - walked to work at a snail pace while eating it and blueberry scone never had a chance to see my office table. But this is not where it ends. I went back a few days later (ahem:yesterday) and again I was only going to browse the case but the cheddar chive biscuit called to me and the staff offered to heat it up so once again i walked out of the lunch box with a pastry in hand walking home and WoW! So soft and fluffy with a hint of sea(?) salt after effect on my taste buds after each bite - this has got to be to one of the BEST biscuits I've had in a looooong time!! So yeah, wasn't planning on having sweets or any baked goods but it can't be helped when the display is so tempting when you visit TLB. Consider yourself warned :)

It came with rice and salad with your choice of toppings and a ton of small sauces. All the sauces are delicious, especially the Tzatziki.The meats were tender with some crispy edges that gave a nice texture to each bite. I also ordered a tikka chicken sandwich with lemon pepper fries, a 4 pk of falafel with hummus, a mango Lassi and extra pita. I enjoyed it all. The chicken was literally pieces of thigh meat marinated and grilled with your choice of toppings and a special sauce. The chicken was extremely tender and flacorful. I've never had lemon pepper seasoning on my fries but i certainly will now. Yum. The falafel wasnt overly dry and had good flavor along with the hummus. The mango Lassi was tart yet sweet and helps you to digest everything! I will 100% order from here again!

My partner ordered for us saying it's going to be a great lunch, and it was. He tried this place before. The large option was a perfect size for two. It's one of those restaurants where the best way to order is through their website. Or, just look at what they offer and which combo fits your taste buds the best. It would speed up the order process as well (at least for me;). I am not someone who can evaluate Middle Eastern cuisine from extensive experience or frequent consumption, but you should definitely visit Papa's Halal Gyro. It's truly worth it. Then judge for yourself. Yes, the garlic sauce is very intense but delicious. Just don't have it before a business meeting or if you are planning to have a rendezvous soon after your meal. The best, find a partner who loves garlic as much as you do ;). Next time, I'll try White Home/Dill Sauce with just a splash of Mint Sauce, and maybe a little Garlic Sauce on the side.
