    Awesome decor!
    Lisa C.

    Loved eating here! Wasn't sure if we would be able to get in, because it was a Saturday night and we didn't have a reservation. Since it was later in the evening, 8:30 pm, we were able to get in with no problem. Staff was super nice and helpful. Very attentive. The food was delicious! The meat on the kebabs was tender, cooked to order and seasoned perfectly for Mediterranean food. Portions were substantial. Enjoyed how the food was served too. Comes on a platter with rice, potatoes, salad, and rolls. Save room for dessert! Come hungry and enjoy the tasty food adventure here!

    Blueberry Martini With Falafel And Pitas

    Desert Inn is a classic in Canton. It was about the only place to get Mediterranean food. Now with all these gyro places you have more options. Kind of looks old but it's not bad. They have a fun desert oasis theme. It costs a little more compared to these fast food Greek places popping up around here. It's more of a lounge. They even advertise themselves as a lounge on the signage. Atmosphere therefore is decidedly better for dinner. They are open for lunch with a smaller but cheaper menu. It has some great cocktails. The best I've had is the blueberry martini. It's about $9 at the happy hour. The food is good too. Falafel is the best appetizer. It's $6 for a pretty large portion. This comes with pitas and sauce. It has some menu structures you should know. They serve everything in family style. This is putting large portions in a bowl or on a plate and putting it in the middle of the table for everyone to take portions themselves.

    Family Style

    Love, love, love this place! I've been coming here for over 30 years. They serve family style meals with your choice of protein. Choose from lamb, beef, filet, shrimp, prime rib or others. Your meat is prepared to order. Then everything is served family style on a large platter with amazing salad, rice pilaf, roasted potatoes and garlic bread. Yum Yum Yum! I know you'll come back again. And be sure to save room for their signature dessert cocktail "Dirty Mother". Desert Inn is family owned with amazing food and incredible service. I highly recommend you make reservations in advance. Enjoy!

    Salad and Syrian rice
    Rick R.

    Very outstanding food. I had the filet and lobster tail. The steak was at least as good as I would cook for myself at home (which says a lot! I have some skills!). The lobster tail was the best I've ever eaten. It was perfectly cooked and came right out of the shell. My daughter had the orange roughy, and it was also the best I've ever had. The Grecian salad was excellent and I'm sure the dressing was made from scratch. Syrian rice was similar to other Middle-Eastern rice dishes I've had, but something made it a little different. It was very tasty! My wife had a blueberry martini which was great. I went with a signature desert lemonade mixed drink along with another drink made with bourbon, ginger and apple. Those were stellar too Our server was Joe. He provided great service, and we'll definitely be returning.

    Amazing food. Huge portions. Great service. I recommend the lamb shank, delicious moist and better than any other I have ever eaten.

    good fortune - Bread Pudding

    good fortune

    WOW. Where to start...Okay so first of all, delicious, creative, well seasoned food is really hard…read moreto come by, especially in this area, but good fortune knocks it out of the park every-time. This was our second time at good fortune and we were just a pleased as we were the first time. There are two types of restaurants, some that feel they have to go over the top on decor and atmosphere to make up for the fact that their food is mediocre and others that let there food speak for itself. Good fortune is the latter. It definitely has a fun retro vibe, but the cocktails and food are what you come for. First, let's discuss their old fashioned. It is the perfect blend of smooth and sweet. Also- their ice cubes are top notch. If you're thinking this doesn't make a difference in a drink, think again. They are clear as glass and do not melt quickly, so you can enjoy your drink without it getting watered down as you sip. This was the second time we ordered the party eggs and they were incredible. When they brought them out I felt myself become a little disappointed when I saw they were not a traditional deviled egg like they had been in the past. But as soon as I took a bite I quickly recanted that notion and was pleasantly surprised. The eggs were pickled perfection with a nice touch of spice and crunch on top. The asparagus was everything. Tender with lightly crisped florets, topped with a beautifully seasoned harissa and herb dressing. This creative approach to a traditional vegetable dish made it a stand out. The loaded potatoes, y'all! A great blend of hearty, starchy and creamy. The creme fraiche added class and sophistication to this crowd pleasing dish. Bread Pudding- Roman (head chef of good fortune) told us to think of it as the offspring of bread pudding and monkey bread. He wasn't wrong. It was the custardy goodness that you want from bread pudding topped with the salty, carmely goodness of monkey bread, served a la mode. It got better with every single bite as the icecream begin to melt into the dish. All this to say, GO HERE!!!! The staff is incredibly kind and personable. And the food is exactly what this area needs. It feels nostalgic but inventive at the same time. I can't wait to go back to try their next seasonal menu. Way to go good fortune. This is our new favorite place.

    My friend and I we're looking to try some place different. We fell upon good fortune and boy were…read morewe fortunate. We were greeted warmly and that warmth and attention continued through the evening. We enjoyed delicious uniquely crafted foods like loaded potato with crème fraiche, mixed pickles, meatballs aji verfe broth, and chicken drummies. Not typical desert people everything else was so delicious we couldn't pass up the scrumptious puff pie cake. We finished every bite! Yum!!! We also enjoyed drinks made to perfection. We plan returning and sharing our find with friends.
