    Fantastic space with lots of sitting area, cozy little nooks, and crannies to have private conversations, and fun authentic art work. Love the little shopping area with all the spices for sale. Fun local spot with good people serving great food! It's hard to name anything in particular that I like to the most. I will say that the milk tea, falafel's and pistachio baklava was phenomenal! Have to come back for all of those!

    Bryani chicken
    Stacey G.

    My family enjoyed their dinners and agreed on 4 stars, more like a 3 for me. My daughter tried all our entrees and thought her Bryani Chicken ((#38) was the best. I ordered the lamb stew (#36) but don't expect a normal broth-ey stew. It was chunks of beef served on rice. Husband liked his beef and lamb (I think it was # 25). We also paid for an order of nan (not great), and it would've been nice if that was included with our entrées that cost $18+.

    The wonderful lady taking my order is the reason I will continue to go back! She was so kind and helpful! She altered my order to make it perfect for what I was looking for! I ordered the Chicken Kabab plate and a side of pickles! Everything was packed full of flavor and the portion was perfect for dinner and lunch the next day! Do not forget to order the garlic sauce! It's delicious!! It is a bit pricy for the small solo cup it comes in ($1.75) but great to put on the chicken! The booth section inside is cute and cozy! It's a larger restaurant inside with adequate space between tables so you won't be bumping into others while dining in. There is also a small market on the one side of the restaurant to be able purchase spices, drinks, tea, and beautiful tea sets!

    Inside out: this place is just comfy and cozy and full of exciting things to look at and try. From the outside it may not look very exciting, but I think they've done wonders with the inside for a good environment. Service: here's a place that really earns five stars. I've never had a bad experience. Everyone is incredibly sweet. They didn't know it, but I came there for a comfort meal after we lost one of our pets and I'm pretty sure I looked seven shades of heartbroken, the woman behind the counter brought me out a bite of fresh falafel while I waited and I would be lying if I didn't cry in the car about it after. It was just a solid moment of human kindness. Food: it's seriously my favorite place to get food in Boise and my comfort meal every time. I like getting the mixed salad and the baba ghanoush is to die for. We always grab drinks from the coolers and then look around the grocery for something interesting and new to try, if you like sweets, they've got a lot of good variety! Overall: I think this place would be a great first spot to try new foods if you aren't familiar with them or to go on a fun little grocery trip for snacks to try together!

    Mixed salad plate

    If you haven't yet, you have to go. We had an amazing dinner! I forgot to take pictures because I couldn't wait to eat!! (I included pics from the menu) We had the Mixed Salad Plate with hummus, saba ganouj, cucumber salad, falafel, pita and an eggplant salad. It came with two dolmas and two falafel so we added a side of 3 falafel and extra tzitziki. We also got an order of kibba potato bites, which had a delicious ground meat filing with warm spices. The food was amazing, generous portions, everything was so flavorful!! The customer service was on point and they were very friendly and encouraged us to come back and talk to the chef, that he would be happy to make a sampler plate of kababs so we could try everything! Well we will definitely be back!! There is a bonus, they have an outstanding selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean spices, along with a fun selection of drinks.

    Fatoush salad, dolmas, lentil soup

    Nice to find a non-American restaurant in Boise! This place is a gem! Welcoming staff, clean and beautifully decorated restaurant with delicious food! I ordered the fatoush salad and dolmas. They also provided a spicy lentil soup on the house. Everything was great!

    Chicken shawarma

    Excellent food and service in an attractive restaurant. Plenty of seating for both large groups and intimate booths for two!

    Good service by my bro

    Shawarma Hummus with Lamb

    If you are looking for an authentic Iraqi restaurant, you MUST try this place. We loved our private booth to eat at, & the food was amazing. The price is extremely reasonable for the HUGE portion size. The Iraqi sandwich with lamb had the most incredible flavors, the lamb was perfect. It came with a huge amount of delicious French fries drizzled in sauce, 3 sides of dip (one was some kind of garlic butter it was phenomenal) a small salad & delicious hummus to dip your sandwich/ fries in all for $13.99. My husband got a big plate of hummus with lamb & their homemade naan for only $10.. it had so many incredible flavors and was just perfect. We absolutely will be back, you can tell the chef's cook with love.

    Great place very close to the airport. The menus has pictures of everything so it is easy to see what you are ordering. The biranyi chicken and salad was great! Of course the jajik was amazing!! The waitress was also very friendly and informative! I would definitely come back if I lived here.

    Dolmas
    Nicholson D.

    I think their dolmas might be the best in town! Friendly people, delicious food, reasonable prices, and cozy atmosphere for dining in ... what more can you ask for? Love this place!

    Alright, let's talk about why this isn't a full five stars- because when it comes to flavor, Mazzah…read moreMediterranean Grill is easily one of the best Mediterranean spots in Boise, hands down. A friend of mine practically lives here- every other day, like clockwork- and the last time I joined, he ordered a full mezze-style spread that felt straight out of the Mediterranean coast: impossibly creamy hummus, cool and garlicky tzatziki, perfectly seasoned kebabs, fresh veggies, warm pita... dish after dish, each one better than the last. This is a casual, no-frills kind of place- so don't come expecting anything overly polished or upscale. The missing star from others? It's purely about the ambiance. But the food? That's a full five. What really shines is the quality, the authenticity, and the consistency. Everything tastes fresh, vibrant, and nourishing- the kind of meal that feels both indulgent and genuinely good for you. Add in friendly, welcoming service, and it's easy to see why people keep coming back.

He let me know the house rice is cooked with chicken stock. He suggested the mujaddara which is a rice and lentil blend, and it was certainly tasty! Free drink refills!

No greeting and sort of seemed like they didnt want to be there. Not rude though. Food is delicious. Falafel were flavorful, crispy, but not dry. The hummus was almost smooth.

It comes with four falafel and two samosas, hummus, and a salad. I didnt get any samosas just six falafels. If they had told me they were out I'd have ordered something else. The hummus had no flavor, the garlic sauce had no flavor, the salad was tasteless. I had to add salt because they only put an oil on it. I wasn't satisfied with the food. I don't think the falafel was even homemade. They looked and tasted frozen. I was very disappointed in the meal. It looks pretty, but had no flavor. Also, parking. There is absolutely no parking. The surrounding businesses wont let you park in their connected lot. You will get towed. Parking in their lot, you pull in and there isn't a back road, you have to put your vehicle in reverse to get out. Can he dangerous if you park all the way in.

    I visited Idaho Falafel when it parked was in a lot near my house. The first time I tried to visit,…read morethey had closed early. The second time, I made sure to go earlier in the day. I was very excited to try the falafel in particular, which I had heard great reviews about. I ordered the Gyro Plate with a side of Falafel. Based on the photo menu, I expected the falafel to come with some kind of a dipping sauce. I also ordered a side of garlic sauce for my gyro meat. The owner Mohammed was very friendly and outgoing. I enjoyed speaking with him. There was another gentleman working with him, who was cooking in the back. Mohamed answered all of my questions. One of the things I wanted to know before I ordered was if they were using one of the popular brands of gyro meat such as Kronos, which and you can purchase just about anywhere. I was told they did not. I was impressed to see that this business serves Coke from Mexico. I commented on that to Mohammed, including that I haven't had real Coke since I was a teenager. He insisted on giving me one to drink while I wait. It was excellent! My food came out fairly quickly. I drove home and opened the box to discover that the cook forgot to give me any sauce for my falafel, nor was there any garlic sauce. I really enjoyed the gyro meat. The falafel was pretty good but needed a little more seasoning, as did the hummus. The small salad had good flavor. I did not care for the pita bread. It was very thin and seemed a bit dry. I've been postponing my review in hopes of being able to revisit this business and try some more of their food, but it's been a while since I've seen them around. I'm hoping they will see this review and let me know if they have a new location.

    Just drove over to try. Super nice and amazing falafel with some good veggies in it. Great flavor,…read moretexture and all around deliciousness Thanks, we will be back! Shoot, had to edit, got a shawarma to try too. OMG delicious!!!!
