The beautiful tile floors and the view of the canal is perfection. Our server was so nice. Excellent customer service. This was my first time there but I was with a local so when the waitress came up she said "Do you wanna start out with hummus & pita?" I figured it would be the ordinary hummus and pita....oh no ma'am. This was pita with marinated meat and the warmest pita on the planet. I enjoyed so much of it I couldn't eat the falafel when it came. I definitely wanna go back cause there's so many things on that menu that I would love to try. Hands-down the best Mediterranean food I've ever had.

I would come back for that alone even to just sit and drink on a cool evening. Drinks were super good. We ordered the dolma, gyro platter, and shawarma platter Only reason I'm withholding a fifth star is I think the food is a bit overpriced for how good it is. It is good, but I've just had better Mediterranean food for less. The portions are big though, so you could share plates! It is worth a visit! We'll probably be back again

The place is very unassuming - walk up to the counter and order from the menu. We got chicken and lamb with a side of rice and salad. They also brought some fresh bread - I could eat that bread for days. So freaking good. Their lamb and chicken were so flavorful and tender, the meat was just falling off the bone. Very soft, rich in taste, and massive portion. I don't think I had better lamb before, and I've been to a good number of Middle Eastern restaurants in the U.S. And prices are reasonable. Definitely coming back again and bringing friends. What a find!

usually try to support local restaurants, but this experience at Kebab Grill was very…read moredisappointing, especially for a takeout order that cost over $90. I called ahead and ordered: 2 kebab sandwiches 2 falafel sandwiches 2 kibbeh orders baba ghanoush fattoush salad The employee on the phone told me the order would be ready in 20 minutes. When I arrived, I was told it would actually be another 17 minutes. I waited in my car, came back after that time passed, and then was told "maybe 13 more minutes." The biggest issue was not just the wait -- it was the lack of honesty and time management. If the restaurant had simply said from the beginning that they were behind and needed closer to an hour, I would have understood. What frustrates customers is being repeatedly given inaccurate wait times. People plan their schedules, families, and evenings around the times restaurants provide. After waiting inside, sitting directly in front of the counter, I watched the cook START preparing parts of my order almost an hour after I originally placed it. Items like the baba ghanoush, salad, and kibbeh -- foods that are usually already prepared -- were only assembled then. Meanwhile, customers who arrived after me and ordered at the restaurant were served before my takeout order was completed. Unfortunately, the food quality also suffered from the long delay: The sandwiches were soggy The salad had water pooled at the bottom and no dressing The kibbeh was soaked in grease For the amount paid, I expected much better service, communication, and food quality. A simple apology and realistic timing would have made a huge difference.

An absolutely perfect dining experience for our group of 8 on a Sunday evening…read more We had a reservation for 5:30 but our plans changed slightly and we arrived 30 minutes early. We planned to wait until 5:30 but we were told it was fine and we were seated immediately. The service throughout our meal was outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable and answered our questions about menu items. She was extremely friendly and personable. We ordered several appetizers including my favorite, Saganaki. The hummus was garlicky and wonderful. We all ordered different entrées. My choice was the vegetarian pastichio. Our entrées and all the sides were excellent. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert so we will try again next time. The ambiance was wonderful, the food and service could not have been better. We all agreed that we will be returning soon.

It happened to be the first warm day, and so I could tell I was probably the first customer to sit outside for the season. Even so, the tables and outdoor space were clean. Food: I got the meatballs and they were good! I enjoyed the feta on the inside. I felt they were a little dry and could have been more tender. The pita that accompanied was perfection! The french fries were also very yummy. The feta, oil, and seasoning were delicious. While the food was good, I'm not sure $30 for these two is reasonable.

We're always looking for good Greek food in Indianapolis and noticed this spot while eating…read moresomewhere nearby, so we decided to make a trip back downtown for it at a later time. Located in a cute blue house, this is conveniently located near Lucas Oil Stadium and there was a huge concert going on the night we were there, but we were still allowed to park in their parking area. Inside has nice lighting and is pretty plain but has a homey feel. The menu contains many items we're familiar with having visited Greece twice. So I'm going to be a little critical here with my review of the food. I ordered the Greek Spaghetti, which I have had in Greece. Unfortunately this was not at all what I was expecting or anything like Greek spaghetti. What I was served was basically Prego spaghetti sauce with pieces of gyro in it. Traditional Greek spaghetti (or Makaronia me Kima) is a wonderful sauce that's seasoned with all kinds of memorable spices. It's definitely not pieces of gyro meat thrown in a sauce. So while this was fine, it was not what I truly wanted or thought I was getting so I was pretty disappointed. My husband got the chicken souvlaki and that was better but still not quite like what I remember. The meat was almost smoked and lacked some of the Greek spices that gives it a distinct taste. And the tzatziki...well, let's just say it tastes like whipped feta and was lacking in flavor too. I did enjoy the pita bread. Our service was underwhelming as well. It took a while for anyone to notice we were there and needed to be seated and the server basically did the bare minimum, never even asking if we wanted our water refilled. Overall, it was fine. If I had never been to Greece, I may have a different opinion but this isn't someplace I really want to go back to.
