    The server was very nice, which was a great start. The portions were healthy and there was plenty to choose from for lunch. My moussaka was good, but the ground sirloin patty on top was lackluster, dry, and under-seasoned. My meal came with a salad--loved that. Salad was fine. I was a little underwhelmed with the food, but I did enjoy the hospitality!

    On a perfect day to sit outside we visited The Grape Leaf. Dinner starts at 4p and we arrived close enough to order from the menu. I ordered a chicken kabob with choice of two sides, and I selected basmati rice and a greek salad. It was delicious! The chicken was a bit more seasoned than I'm used to but with the rice it evened it out. My husband enjoyed his lentil soup and gyro sandwich. The Grape Leaf is a longstanding restaurant in Louisville. It is showing its age, including the patio and its tables, which needed a wipe down; however, the food is as good as I remember. Prices are reasonable and as good (if not better) as some casual takeout spots. Service was friendly and paced well. I appreciated not being forgotten on the patio. Street parking available.

    Went on a Saturday evening pre be years we've. Not much crowd. Unpretentious place. Very casual. Great service. Food too a bit to arrive but it was ALL delicious.

    The food was flavorful and pleasing to the eye. The interior was dated and needed some renovation. Our server wasn't very friendly, he was younger and seemed like he wanted to be anywhere but there. He also had AirPods in, which shouldn't be allowed if you're interacting with the public (in my opinion). I would recommend this place purely for the food experience if you're new to the cuisine!

    Wow this place is spectacular. We were able to get a reservation for a Saturday night for my beau's…read moreearly birthday celebration. I was able to ask questions on the Open table app about reservation and options available at such a later dinner time. They said everything would be available except when we got there the branzino wasn't available which was fine, we didn't want it anyways. Our server Colton was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable of the menu drinks and what was available. We did end up ordering some drinks. The Gazoz (nonalcoholic) & CSA sour both great and the flavors were very pleasing. We already browsed at the menu beforehand so we went in knowing we were going to get the Shefha, I let the birthday boy make the picks we got the crispy cauliflower and og hummus with the lamb and kept everything else as is and of course we got the included dessert plus a knafeh for the birthday boy. I don't want to spoil anything, but the food was exceptional! There was no crumbs left from us, we devoured everything that was brought out. We loved all the flavors profiles and the timing of each dish was perfect. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed. Colton was excellent throughout the entire meal, checking in on us and the rest of the servers who brought out the dishes were excellent at explaining the dishes to us. Our water cups were never empty and the vibes were so relaxed and casual. We will definitely be back because we fell in love with a few dishes that we can't stop thinking about and will have to come back. Definitely for the chocolate babka! I got some to go because I don't think I could have waited for the next time.

    I made this reservation two months in advance and was very excited to try the food. While the…read morepresentation was incredible, I found the food itself to be fairly average and perhaps a little overhyped. Our reservation was at 8:45 p.m., and the staff made us feel rushed to order and finish our meal. I understand that the kitchen and restaurant need to close, but reservations should not be offered that late if guests cannot enjoy the full dining experience without feeling rushed.

    Love this spot. It has that rare combination of feeling genuinely wholesome while serving food…read morethat's incredibly flavorful and reasonably priced. We couldn't decide what to order, so we ended up trying a little bit of everything. The tabbouleh, hummus, falafel, and spinach pie were all fantastic. Every single side was fresh and packed with flavor. The sauces deserve their own shoutout. I would happily take home a gallon of the garlic sauce, and the tzatziki was just as addictive. My husband ordered the Mediterranean salad, and my daughter and I shared the kids' shawarma plate. The salad was massive with a beautiful variety of fresh vegetables. The beef shawarma was incredibly tender, and the basmati rice was perfectly cooked. One thing that really stood out to me was the hospitality. While we were there, a family came in just before closing and asked if they could still be served. Without hesitation, the staff welcomed them in and accommodated them with such kindness. It felt less like a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's home. You can tell there's real care behind every ingredient and every interaction. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and homemade. It left us feeling satisfied without feeling heavy, which isn't always easy to find when eating out. Safier is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. We'll definitely be back.

    Parking is a bit inconvenient & always crowded, the place has a big city feel to it kind of like…read moreNew York, when you enter they have free rice bags that you can take!! I'm thinking of turning mine into a tote!
