Got food here Again because it is so good! This time I got the mixed shawarma platter and I wasn't disappointed. Food here always tastes fresh and I made quickly. Definitely still one of my go to spots in Niantic. read more

Ordered Uber eats and it was a very simple process. My food was ready when I got there. About ~15 minutes estimate. Parking lot very easy. Inside had a lot of dining and service was prompt when I got there. A variety of options such as pitas, platters, and wraps. I ordered the falafel supreme pita and the chicken shawarma wrap. I enjoyed both of them but really liked the falafel supreme pita. I thought they were both really big portions and filling. I got multiple meals out of them. The falafel supreme pita had great flavors and the falafel was so crispy. The eggplant inside really added a lot to the whole thing. Prices were very fair. The chicken shawarma was good but it maybe tasted a little too salty. The garlic sauce that came with it was tasty and the seasoning on the fries were good. Glad I was able to try it here! read more

Everything here is fantastic, from the food to the service! Fluffy pita, tasty fries, delicious Chicken Schwarma sandwich and exceptional falafel salad! I'm glad I asked for some hot sauce with the chicken sandwich as it was amazing! (I'm only reading about the great garlic sauce now - I'll make sure to request that next time!) read more

I ordered a take out/catering meal for 10, I had never been to Taza before, and was a little nervous, but I was truly blown away by the food. Everyone loved the chicken and shrimp entrees and the accompanying sauces. Grape leaves, kabobs to baklava all delicious and they were extremely accommodating. I did not eat at the restaurant but I will definitely go back for an eat in dinner, it looked casual and inviting! read more

Great middle eastern food! I was in the area and looking for something somewhat quick and somewhat healthy and stumbled across this place. I got the chicken kabob platter and a side of falafel and both were very good! It came with a small side salad which was also very good, along with some sauces and hummus both delicious. My only negative is that maybe it's a bit expensive. It came to about $30 for my meal, however it was very good and I'll definitely be back! read more

Exceptional food and service. Some of the best fries I have ever had! The chicken Shwarma was amazing and loaded with Chicken! I will for sure be back! read more

Exceptional food! The falafel platter was delicious. Clean & Hygenic interior. Nothing but positive feedback- well done.

My partner and I stopped in here on the way to Niantic while we were visiting Connecticut from out of state. We were craving Mediterranean food and this place had good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. It definitely lived up to the hype! The food was simply delicious. It was flavorful and not oily or greasy. I got the lamb shawarma platter and my partner got the chicken kabob platter. We both really enjoyed the food. The rice was especially tasty. The restaurant was pretty empty, but we went on a Saturday around 4pm so we probably just missed the rush. The guy who helped us was nice and to the point, taking our order and getting us our food without any nonsense. The decor of the restaurant was simple, not gaudy and not too much. The bathroom was a single person bathroom and was clean. This place is in a strip so there was plenty of parking. read more

Taza Grill - Mix Kebab Platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - East Lyme, Connecticut

Taza is the best falafel in the area. Their lamb is also excellent. This place is mostly to go orders but we go at least once a week because it's just that tasty! Service is always good, timely and friendly. read more

Food - 5, Ambiance - 3, Service - 3.5 We arrived around 4 pm on a Saturday and were the only ones there but it did start to fill up by the time we left. The food was excellent and the serving sizes very large. I had the Falafel platter which had a small side of hummus, salad, and a lentil rice combo. The falafel was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the hummus was smooth and creamy. The lentil rice was also good, the salad just ok (iceberg lettuce dominated the salad, not my favorite). Hubby had the Shawarma Combo platter with half chicken and half lamb. More chicken than lamb but the lamb was more flavorful. He enjoyed the salad and rice. Nice decor in an open atmosphere with booths lining the sides and tables in the middle. The foreign language television channel was on at a very loud volume and distracting. The employee who took our order and delivered our food was so soft spoken, it was difficult to understand him. Only other disappointment was the use of plastic cutlery for dining in. read more

It really is good! From the outside it looks like just another strip mall restaurant, but the magic is on the inside. The hummus is fresh and tasty, the pita bread was hot and fresh as well, and that garlic paste they serve as a condiment might have been made with actual crack. It is that addicitive. I had the Middle Eastern salad, which was very tasty. While it was a simple mix of parsely, tomato, onion, and cucumber, the house dressing brought it all together and made it wonderful. Add in a bit of that garlic paste, and it was heaven. We also had a lamb shawarma salad. That is worth ordering again. The chicken shawarma wrap and the chicken kabob pita were kind of boring. All said and done, I'd like to go back and try more dishes there. read more

Four of us...1 vegetarian....had a great lunch here the other day. Large, casual open restaurant where you order and pay at the counter. Food was brought to our table as it was prepared. Falafel was fantastic. Baba ganoush is always our favorite served with soft warm pitas. Humus, Greek salad, chicken skewers and spinach pies were all perfect. Large booths and tables so we had plenty of space for our feast. We've moved in down the street and have been doing takeout lately but hope to bring friends and enjoy visiting together here more often. read more

Good food, healthy-ish options. Very friendly staff. Biggest highlight is the staff let us swap fries for a salad as a side making the meal a bit more light and balanced read more

Taza is a gem of a restaurant in Niantic. It is located in a former froyo shop, and over the years they have made the interior feel cozy and authentic. I got some baklava, which was absolutely amazing. I also got a chicken shawarma wrap, which came with some amazing fries. The wrap itself was so delicious, it was flaky and soft and it added so much to the filling. The chicken was also fantastic. I placed the order online and it was ready in 15 minutes. read more

We placed a catering order recently for a party. The food was terrific. The chicken and beef had lots of flavor. The rice and homemade hummus were a hit. The staff was very friendly and even helped us bring the food to our car. I'd highly recommend them. read more

I work nearby and whenever my co-workers and I order out, we get Taza Grill. Years ago, when they first opened I found my go-to favorite menu item and I have ordered it ever since. The Chicken Kabob Salad with a side of pita. If you don't know what to get, order this - you won't be disappointed. It comes in a divided container with a lightly dressed lemony salad in one section, a generous portion of chunks of marinated chicken breast (well seasoned and cooked, not spicy), fresh hummus, and the star of the show, garlic sauce. Put a little bit of all of this on one fork and it's amazing. And the pita is warm perfection. The price is a few dollars more than fast food ....but that's because this isn't a drive thru burger joint ---this is homemade, authentic cooking done right. I don't usually write reviews about my lunch, but this place is 5 stars! Keep up the good work! read more

Taza Grill - Chicken Kabob Salad. - Middle Eastern Near Me - East Lyme, Connecticut

We recently had Taza Grill cater my graduation party, and they went absolutely above and beyond-- We couldn't be happier with our experience. Their menu had the perfect variety to make sure that everybody had something to eat, from those with dietary restrictions to the very picky, and just as important, everything on the menu was fantastic. From the moment we sat down with them to talk about catering the party, they took all of the stress out of planning the food-- they told us to just tell them what we wanted, how many people were coming, and they would take care of the rest. Everybody there was extremely kind. We couldn't have picked a better place to cater our party, and we recommend them to anybody looking for good Mediterranean food. (Make sure you try their spinach pies, falafel, and garlic tahini-- those were my favorites!) read more

Amazing food, fresh and tasty. The fries were perfectly seasoned. The hot sauce was good too. The food wasn't salty, or oily. Just perfect.

From out of state, thought this was a Greek restaurant; stopped in for lunch; great experience ! Kibbie was great, hummus was top notch, cool decor, a hidden gem ! read more

I was soooo sad when they temporarily shut down for the renovations... However when I went in today and saw what all they did and how amazing the atmosphere felt and looked... I was happily surprised! (And just happy that they reopened already because I missed their food!) The food is absolutely amazing. So many things to choose from. Everything is made fresh and you can tell that the chef puts in a lot of work and care when they make your plate. I could go on for hours but I think I you get the point! Now go and see for yourself! And don't forget to try their falafel! It's the best I've ever had! PS. I had the Taza platter (like a little bit of everything) and it was sooooo good!!! read more

Taza Grill - I got a sneak peak in the back to see the owner/chef hard at work! - Middle Eastern Near Me - East Lyme, Connecticut

This place is awesome and affordable I highly recommend and definitely I will come back read more

Stopping for dinner in the never ending drive north, we happened upon this gem. The selection was outstanding with more selections than I could eat in a lifetime and mmmmmm was it good!!!! The gentleman was friendly at the counter ensuring us our selections would be "travelable" in the car. The atmosphere felt like stepping millions of miles away across the Nile. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone within driving distance. Who knows? I may have to make the trek from NC to CT just to stop there. read more

Good: The food was good. We ordered Chicken Skewer, Lamb Kofta Platter and Falafel wrap. Everything was delicious. Chicken skewer was a bit dry but I guess that's how it is. Service was alright, the food was made to order and brought out in around 15-20 min. I must mention that it was not crowded at that time. Not-so-good: 1. You have to order at the counter first and then they bring out the food to you. It is a bit inconvenient because you don't have the menu in hand. It wasn't crowded so we could take the take-out menus to our table and order at our convenience, but it could be a mess during dinner time. 2. The staff told us that the menu doesn't show the current prices. He wanted us to ask him the price of each item if we wanted to know the price. How inconvenient is that! Who would do that anyway.. We just tried to guess and add couple of dollars to the price mentioned in the menu. But it did feel a bit overpriced. read more

July 14, 2020. They are open with dining in options. A few patio tables outside. My third time here and still loving it. This type of food isn't widely available around here so I appreciate them for what they bring to the community. I got the Kafta platter, a sort of grilled meatball mash of lamb with salad and rice, garlic paste, and more. And the grilled chicken skewer with some grilled tomatoes. Great flavor and you'll definitely leave full if you order a platter. They also offer peachwave frozen yogurt and baklava which I have not tried. read more

Randomly ordered from DoorDash.... OMG so delish!!! Highly recommend Chicken Shawarma sandwich. It was outstanding. So much value for the price point. read more

Not a great restaurant. We got take-out. Would never go back. Highs and lows.... Mixed vegetable plates was very good. Falafel very good. Cauliflower app pretty good. Baba Ghanoush, okay. A bit too smokey. Tabule good and fresh. The lamb kebob was barely ok. Way overcooked and quality of lamb not great. Chicken kebob was dry and bland. The kofte was overcooked and dry. Mixed chicken and lamb shawarma platter, horrible. Inedible. Teeny, tiny bits of chicken and lamb cooked to shreds. Very hard and beyond dry. Had to throw it out. Guessing it was the bits and pieces of left overs from the day. read more

Ordered take-out sat night. Food was ready on time, it was hot and it was fantastic. And I've eaten this type of food my entire life. The bread was as good as I've ever had and the lamb was moist and full of flavor. 4 instead of 5 due to the ambiance inside. It was freezing - guests had their coats on and the clear plastic covers on tables reminded me of my Sitto's couches growing up. read more

Came back here just to say how happy I am that Taza is back open. Went in today to get all my favorites and the food was amazing as always. But the service from the woman in front was top notch. I will read more

I tried Tara Grill again & was very happy with my meal. I phoned in my order at 6:30 PM on a Saturday evening. (I asked the gentleman if they were still actively taking orders & he said definitively, yes). I ordered the Chicken Kebab platter. He told me it would be ready in 10+ mins. I prompted arrived around 15 mins after I placed my order. There was one other customer inside ahead of me. No one was up front. They were in the back preparing the food. We waited about 3-4 mins & they used the counter bell to alert them to our presence. He brought up both our orders & promptly rang us up. My chicken kebab platter had 8 juicy grilled chunks of white meat chicken on a big bed of moist freshly made saffron rice. They provided a small side order of salad of romaine, lettuce, tomatoes, & cucumbers tossed in a nicely balanced vinaigrette. There was a side order of very creamy homemade garlicky hummus & another condiment cup of whipped aioli. the Neal came with 2 pieces of lightly warmed pita bread (unfortunately not homemade). Everything as delicious. The meal came to $12.59 including tax. I will definitely be back. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED. read more

The best falafel I've had since I left the Middle East. Order the middle eastern salad for extra veggies to stuff in the pita. My mom likes French fries on the side to add to her sandwich. My daughter could eat their toom by the spoon. read more

Delicious schwarma salads. Pretty slow to be served but I assume it's because everything is so fresh. Definitely a pricey lunch at $50 for 2 salads, a seltzer and tip but food is absolutely delicious. read more

Don't come here unless you enjoy getting ripped off. My parents and I tried coming here after visiting Mystic Seaport, and after we put in our order, we discovered we were charged significantly higher than the rates on the printed menu. When we pointed this out to our server, his response was "oh yeah...those menus are old and haven't been updated yet. Sorry." We asked to see the manager, and our server just shrugged, told us the manager wasn't in today, and then he went back to watching some YouTube videos on his phone. It's kind of a pity as you can tell from looking at the place that it used to be a yogurt joint, and maybe they're just getting started with some okay food...but falsely advertising your prices on your sit-down menu and basically telling your customers "oh well!" when they point out the discrepancy is not a great way to run a café/restaurant. read more

The food here is so good! And the service behind the counter is very friendly. I love middle eastern food and this place hit the spot.

There are no words I can muster up to describe how much I loved this place. When I came to this restaurant, it was the very first time I had ever had shawarma. I had gotten a chicken shawarma wrap along with a side order of falafel. The chicken was seasoned to perfection, the garlic sauce flavorful, and the falafel was (and I mean this with everything) better than any falafel I've tasted in my life. Alongside the incredible taste, it was very filling. As I'm writing this, I'm driving away from this restaurant with a smile on my face, a full stomach, and an uplifted mood. Do come here if you're ever driving through the area. I would most definitely eat here again. read more
