    Cybel is such a hidden gem! They had so many yummy dishes on their menu. My favorite is the garlic…read moretzatziki and steak kebabs. The chicken kebabs are also really flavorful. There's interior and exterior seating. You can make a reservation as they do tend to get busy around dinner time, but they do accept walk ins as well. Parking can be limited during busy times, but you can also park right behind the school and it is a short walk to the restaurant. The servers are friendly and accommodating.

    We were really excited to have dinner here tonight. The Lemon Chicken Tagine and Lamb Tagine were…read moreboth delicious and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the portion sizes were surprisingly small for the price, especially the chicken dish. We arrived at 5:45 p.m. for our 6:00 p.m. reservation and were seated promptly, which was appreciated. However, we waited about 45 minutes for our meals to arrive. While our waitress wasn't particularly attentive, she did apologize for the delay in getting our food. The restaurant itself is cute, specially outside seating. One suggestion is that the tables are larger for two people. The table next to us requested another table to be moved over to hold their food and drinks properly. The pita bread didn't arrive until later in the meal, and while it was a nice addition, it didn't make up for the small serving sizes and lack of anything to dip it into at that point. I truly wanted to love this restaurant and leave a glowing review because the food itself was very good. Sadly, between the long wait, service issues, and portion sizes that didn't match the prices, the overall experience fell short of our expectations.

    The Yelp check in offer of a 20% discount is what brought me in the door. When I showed it to the…read morecashier I was told they NO LONGER HONOR that discount. This is a classic example of bait and switch and cost them a star. I went ahead and ordered a Gyro Platter ($14.97 with tax) choosing 2 orders of fries for my sides. I got my order to go because I was not too keen on the cheap tables. The floor and tables were also sticky, but since a lot of businesses in the area are recovering from hurricane damage I decided that I would not hold that against them, which I consider generous because this may be the norm here. UPDATE: after reading some of the other reviews I came to the conclusion that the lack of cleanliness I experienced IS the norm. If the dining area is so filthy I shudder to think how bad the food prep area is. So take away another star. The only nice things I can say are The fries were nice and crisp, and The meat was plentiful, thick, and flavorful, and providing warmed pita pockets on the side is a nice touch. BUT The onions were practically nonexistent and the tzatziki sauce was NOT tzatziki, it was plain yogurt. Looking over the menu it says tzatziki in one place and yogurt in another. This cost them two more stars. This was my first visit, and I was not impressed by the service, the bait and switch, the cleanliness, and the lack of traditional gyro ingredients. Having earned only 1 star means I won't be back.

I (a wheelchair user) was assigned a bartender vs waitstaff ( which made no sense) even though I was seated at a table in the dining area. The bar got slammed which left me without service for a very long time. Other waitstaff should have jumped in to assist, but they seemed disinterested in helping tables not assigned to them even after asking.

    I love this restaurant so much whenever I go to Saint Pete. Truly one of the best Mediterranean…read morespots because it is always consistently dependable and reliable. They never really have "off" days, which is great because it's somewhere I can always bring friends and family. The atmosphere is honestly so great especially on the outside. You would think it would be too hot sometimes and too cold but they have lanterns that make it perfect in the winter and fans to make it perfect in the summer. It's truly one of the best maintained outside eating areas Because it's completely covered as well so that really helps the shade aspect. There's also a little section outside of the dining patio that serves as a little cocktail lounge area, which is adorable. if you wanna find somewhere that you could eat outside with your elderly grandma, this is a great place because they really do everything they can to make it as comfortable as possible for those hot Florida summers. They also allow dogs to come in, which may be a plus or a minus for some people. if you go, the falafel is truly some of the best delicate crunchy falafel that I've ever had and all of the spreads and dips are incredibly delicious and consistent. Get their vegetable crudite because it's the freshest, crunchies selection of watermelon, radishes, perfect Romain, lettuce, boats, crisp carrots. The main thing that me and my friends always say about this restaurant is that it literally reminds us how refreshing and satisfying actually healthy food could be. I know that sounds funny, but we always sit down and say we should eat like this more at home! Haha. Great Greek wine list in addition to the Classics and nice cocktails. I genuinely don't have ANYTHING negative to say about this place, which is really really rare. lol. Also get baklava if you can.

There was one other couple ahead of me, and only one person working, so I did wait a bit, which was fine since I needed to peruse the menu. There are a few tables inside to eat at, but I chose one of the three outside tables. After conferring with the couple in front of me, I decided to go with the Mezze platter - your choice of 5 items. I thought it was expensive at $24, but it seemed to be the best way to try a wide variety of things. The five items I got, ranked from best to least best: 2 falafels-really good, hummus-very good, cucumber salad-good, cous cous-fine, beet salad-meh. Make sure you ask for the hot sauce - it jazzed everything up. The platter was served with a couple of pieces of pita, but there really needed to be more to dip into all the salads. The only available drinks were to purchase bottled water or bottled soda. I only ate about a third, but I will say it did not travel well. Because three of the salads were placed in the same section, by the next day all three salads were a combined soggy mess, and the only part that was still edible was the hummus. I did enjoy the food, and the worker was incredibly friendly and hospitable, but it was a bit too pricey for one lunch for me.

    This place gives Garden Mediterranean a run for their Kibbeh OuiOui…read more I still LOVE Garden Mediterranean but they changed their menu, made the dishes smaller & priced everything super expensive. $10 for hummus? LOL. No. So I went hunting for another place, and I found East Bistro! I was driving over to Sprouts in Largo & saw it as I passed it! I made a quick U-turn & right into the parking lot I went... Right away I spot their tandoori clay oven right in the back & they have two shawarma spits right up front that smell so delicious OMG! :)... So I get some of the beef shawarma on top of the hummus... I have not had it like this before but WOZA! That is some good stuff baby! I ate almost all of it by myself. LOL I also got the Chicken kabobs. They were cooked perfectly. Nicely charred on the outside & tender & juicy on the inside, seasoned perfectly. Can not wait to order both of these dishes again OuiOui. The super surprising thing is that you get two sides with your 2 kabob platter plus rice & salad. I got the tabouli & hummus. It also comes with fresh made pita that they also make in house, which is fabulous OuiOui. But their tabouli. WOZA! Their tabouli is the best I have ever had. They make theirs with, I'm guessing, white vinegar? It's super tangy & very fresh tasting. Very pungent. Magnificent OuiOui. When I took some home for Sir Hubbers, I didn't say anything & all of a sudden he started raving about the Tabouli also. LOL Their dine in is super cute, but very small, it's mostly a take out place, everything on paper plates for dine in, which was fine. Everything is reasonably priced, entrees under $19! They bake all their own breads, make everything from scratch. And the tabouli, is a MUST ORDER OuiOui. Added to my lists of fave restaurants in the Tampa/St Pete area OuiOui. Can not wait to return! :)...
