We had many of the food items on the menu, and they were all really good. The chicken in the Chicken Kebab (Shish Tawook) Plate was so tender! The Chicken Shawarma was very tasty, and the "Platter" on the appetizer menu makes a great vegetarian Mediterranean meal with all the goodies, which were all really good. The Mediterranean Salad is very good for a lighter meal. The House Rice and sauces were great additions.

I was charged, given a confirmation number, and a pickup time of 7:37pm. When I arrived just after 7:30pm for my takeout, the employee came to the window and told me that they closed early and aren't doing anymore orders. When I showed him my confirmation email receipt he told me it doesn't matter and that I needed to go home. When I explained that I already paid and asked for a refund he flat out said no and that it's not his problem. When I pressed further for an explanation to why their website would take an order if they're closed and demanded a refund, he pretended not to understand me anymore and told me to leave. Caravan Grill is open until 8pm, this can be confirmed on Google and the hours posted on their door. I'm beyond frustrated that they would take my order, charge my card, and send me a confirmation email with a pickup time only to close early. Additionally, how can you charge me and then not provide the service I paid for and deny me a refund? Lastly, why the rude attitude with me like I'm at fault for ordering food. This is absolutely insane business practice. It truly feels illegal, because WTF am I suppose to do? They stole $50 from me! Confirmation email attached for proof

Their pita is really thin and not my favorite and the falafel, although fried well, is fairly bland for me/ not seasoned the way I prefer it. I liked the filling of the spinach pastries, these are pretty simple in terms of flavor but I enjoyed dipping them in the hummus and Baba ganoush. I ate here once for lunch as well as one time for a complimentary dinner meal they generously offered in a giveaway collaboration with Tucson Food Tours. The owner seemed kind. During the complimentary meal I shared the table with other people who got selected to participate and several of them have never had middle eastern food before. The owner was welcoming and informative to them and in general seemed lovely. The food tasted fresh and made with care. The first time I came on my own I was a little confused on whether it was table service or counter service, still not sure if that shifts depending on the day and time. They have a patio with outdoor tables. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

Slivers of moist seasoned chicken with 2 sides and warm pitas. Again have not veered from the 2 sides either, smoky baba ghanouj and silky smooth hummus over fries or side salad. Hubby is also stuck on his Gyro Deluxe $15.75 with Greek Salad. Has the most balanced dressing, just oily & tart enough but a tad sweet. Asked the owner, Reyna who is a delight btw, that I had met on our 2nd visit what exactly was in it...simply oil & vinegar turns out, the latter being Apple Cider not Red Vinegar..aha, the slight sweet. The menu has the Middle Eastern go-tos that we ordered but read along and discover it leans Jordanian and is quite extensive with family platters and stews. Notably too, their bar stocks several Middle Eastern beers, that we still need to pop. Dining Room is fairly small with a few tables and wall painted murals, and a couple of outdoor tables on the walkway in too. Unassuming location in the back of the strip mall, with ATL Wings and Peter Piper Pizza, across from Park Place Mall. Be sure to nav it here for fantastic Middle Eastern fare and maybe discover some new Jordanian dishes too...I'm working on it haha!

Returning after about a year with out of town visitors for our last dinner before they head home…read moretomorrow. It seemed like the menu had been updated with more and improved selections. We ordered drinks and studied the menu some and put in orders for the Aspasia and hummus plates along with the big (we had no idea it was that big) family mix grill and chicken and beef shawarma. We received the Aspasia plate first and it was delicious! The kibbeh was so good but so was everything else. The mixed grill plate was awesome. The hummus and baba ghanoush were incredible. I don't think I can get enough superlatives into this write up to fully convey not only how good this food is but also how authentic it all was. Of course our server timed all the deliveries to our table so that everything came out correctly and at the right time. The inside of the restaurant is actually a big room, sparsely decorated with simple tables and chairs but again it added to the charm and authenticity of the cafes from the Middle East region. There is no other place in Tucson like this and I highly recommend this to you to go and try. There is plenty here to try and enjoy.

I liked that there were flags displayed throughout the restaurant, and the staff was even wearing Mexico jerseys for the World Cup. I also loved the decor on the walls, and the space was overall inviting, open, and bright with the large windows. The food is also delicious. There are plenty of options on the menu, including breakfast, but we opted for lunch. For the appetizer, we tried the feta dish and, well, it was disappointing. We expected some sort of hummus-like feta dish since the description (if I remember correctly) mentioned it coming with pita. Regardless of whether we misunderstood the dish, the appetizer itself was fairly mediocre with feta cheese, olives, tomatoes, and lettuce. The Mixed Grill Combo was definitely the MUST TRY and WILL RETURN dish. It came with beef shawarma, gyro, and chicken pieces served with rice. Shawarma is traditionally made by slowly roasting seasoned meat on a vertical spit and shaving off thin slices as it cooks, which helps develop a flavorful and tender bite that is absolutely worth a try! The hanging skewer presentation was also a fun detail and definitely added to the experience. The Lamb Chops were okay, but for the price, they were quite small and seemed closer to lamb loins than traditional chops. The flavor was not bad, but this is something we would likely pass on next time. The portion sizes are also on the smaller side in our opinion compared to other places for the prices. Overall, this was a delicious experience, and we would return! The Mixed Grill Combo alone is worth coming back for!

Most the preparations are chopped or cubed cubed proteins, a mountain of rice and a lightly dressed lettuce salad. Just doesn't make my culinary heart sing. The location itself is nice. Open, airy and brightly lit. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. We went in early (think linner) so it was not busy. I ordered the lamb shank plate and my wife got the Casa Pita Grill Mix (a mixture of meats - chicken and beef shawarma, gyro meat) I had a coke with my meal, she had a hibiscus lemonade. Food arrive and as expected my lamb shank was cut into cubes. But it was very tender, very juicy and had a lot of great flavors. I enjoyed it, about a quarter of the rice, some of the salad and the pita that came with the meal. The humus was fantastic! My wife's meal was delicious too. Apparently they make the gyro meat in house so it was not the normal thin whimpy piece of gyro meat you would normally expect. I took some tastes and all of it was great. As we were leaving I got a freshly juiced pineapple drink. What can I say, refreshing and tasty. All and all, positive experience and I would go back.

We arrived at 12:30 and they were slammed. No available parking, so my daughter dropped me off (so sweet) and parked a couple doors down. The dining room was packed and noisy. The young man who greeted us said he'd have a table in ten minutes or we could sit in the air conditioned patio area. That's what we did. The patio was quiet and a large fan blowing over a trough of ice kept us cool and comfortable. We started with an appetizer of hummus, tzatziki, pita, and dolmades, with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. The tzatziki was the best I've had. The sliced veggies were great so my celiac daughter could scoop the yummy spreads instead of pita. As lamb lovers, we ordered the lamb kabob plate and the lamb clay pot. The plate came with scrumptious rice, Greek salad, and sliced veg. The clay pot was filled with diced potatoes, tomatoes, and tender cubes of lamb, beautifully seasoned. So much delicious food! Our waiter offered dessert, but we were stuffed and settled for to-go boxes. I had an excellent lunch for two more days! As a big fan of Mediterranean food, I don't know how I could have missed Istanbul, but my first time surely won't be my last.

Despite some key sports events going on (World Cup U.S. round of 16) this once bustling shopping/dining avenue was eerily quiet. Indeed, we both couldn't help but notice the number of venues that were permanently closed and the degree to which nearly every window (occupied or closed) had etched or soaped graffiti all over it. One block off of 4th Ave (on 6th St) we saw Opas Grill (not to be confused with "Opa's Best Greek" at Broadway/Swan!) and headed in. Two small screens above the corner bar area were displaying the soccer game. Of the roughly 16 tables between the two dining rooms only three were occupied. We were greeted promptly and tended to graciously. She got the Dinner Gyro Wrap with the salad side ($15) and I got the Dinner Gyro Salad ($16). They arrived in less than 10 minutes with both protein portions of decent size and piping hot. The salads were fresh/crisp with no wilted anything and dressings were on the side, as requested. Note: the wrap was a bit sloppy due to juices but good flavors for both entrees and we polished them off. The lone disappointment was the Honey Old Fashioned cocktail (average) and in hindsight we should have tried one of their Mastiha drinks (a deliciously unique liquor that's endemic to Greece). The entrance is kind of hidden/recessed about 25 feet deep from the sidewalk. Bonus, there's a small private parking lot (free) that's right beside the building. Final Note: 3% is added to any non-cash payment.
