I had the steak shawarma plate with Greek salad. I also had a bite of gyro and beef kafta. Steak was very good, not a fan of the gyro meat but the kafta was good too. We'll be back. read more

Yum Yum! Great food and even better service! The pita bread is warm and buttery. They have different specials every week so there's more to the menu than what's up on the wall. read more

Definitely the best falafels I had in town. Would like to go and try the chicken shawarma next time. Looking forward to it.

Outstanding Middle Eastern restaurant! In a tiny strip mall next to a barber and smoke shop. The chicken shwarma is some of the most flavorful I have found nearby. Unfortunately, the beef shwarma was dry and lacking flavor. Everything is fresh and cooked to order and their pita wraps are made how you want it, with your choice of toppings. The falafel deluxe pita wrap is amazing, with perfectly cooked falafel (not dry like most places) with homemade hummus and grilled eggplant. A must try! read more

Went here for the first time yesterday, the food was amazing! I got the chicken kabob plate, it's a lot of delicious food for a good price. Everyone working was also very hospitable. read more

I've been here a large handful of times and have left satisfied consistently. Hummus lovers would like this spot. Chicken, fish, and shrimp are great as well. The best part is the portions. It's big food that's worth every dollar. read more

I love coming here on date night. The lamb mansaff is amazing and melts in your mouth, and of course there's the knafe which is my favorite dessert. I just wish they were open later. read more

Excellent food. One of the best Mediterranean restaurants I've been to. Had the baba Ghanouj. Owners are super friendly too!

The week of Thanksgiving my coworkers were talking about going to eat at that Mediterranean Cuisine spot down the road. My boss told me it was mouth watering just watching them perp your wrap. He told me how the ingredients were fresh and how you could smell the meats cooking in the back kitchen. So we went as a group and I must say I was excited. We ordered and ate there. With a group of six it took them about 15 minutes to have all of the plates on the table. What i loved is that you get to chose what you want on your wrap. An just like my boss told me EVERYTHING WAS FRESH. I can not complain about my visit. The food was delicious, flavorful and FRESH. Since this visit I have only been back once. But i can say this I will be definitely returning with my friends and family. If you are in the area and looking for some good Middle Eastern Cuisine this place is a must. I give it a five all day. read more

This place is across the street from my job and I've been here 3X in the past week lol it's so good! Food is flavorful, authentic and cooked to order! If you're looking for something fast and healthy I highly recommend! read more

I went to Wessen with a party of 4. When we arrived, I was a little worried because the restaurant appears to be just a counter of food. At this restaurant, there is more than meets the eye! You order at the counter and then they bring the food to you in a separate dining room. It was hard to decide what to order as everything looks good. They have sandwiches on the menu all the time, and they have daily special items. Their special items come with two sides. I had trouble deciding what to order because they have so many tasty looking items. I got to try their lamb shank, their curry chicken, their falafal, their hummus, and their baba ganoush. It was all good, but the best part was when they brought some of their chicken in cream sauce (as I had expressed interest in it) just for us to try! Also, the chicken in cream sauce was by far the best item. The lamb shank was also awesome! Their feta...super good. Their falafal was just ok. I would highly recommend! read more

Stumbled upon this place when looking for somewhere new to eat at lunch. And let me tell you, it was such a great find! Me and my friend both got the daily special, which our server just called an "upside down." It consisted of some very moist and flavorful spiced shredded chicken, which was then layered with some eggplant and peppers and then covered with rice. This was all placed into a bowl and cooked and then flipped "upside down" onto a plate so the rice was on the bottom and the chicken was on top. It came with either a side salad, or a side of hummus. Or you can opt for half salad/half hummus like we did. The food was absolutely delicious and totally hit the spot. Plus, we both left with enough leftovers for another meal. Our server, Sonny, was super helpful, down to earth, and fun to talk to. Great experience all around -- I'll definitely be back! read more

Tried to place an order over the phone. Guy on the other side was saying stuff I didn't understand. After a good thirty seconds of being unable to communicate, he asks, "Do you speak Arabic?" I said, "no." He hangs up. I go into the restaurant. Everyone there was speaking Arabic. No one helped me. It's a shame. Places like these are usually very friendly to all customers. I'll simply go to those places next time. read more

Wessen International Kitchen is awesome! We went on a Tuesday evening. The location is quite small, 3 tables inside and 1 outside. While we were there, people came and went with their to go good. The food and service was amazing! There were 3 of us. I had the falafel plate and my other 2 dining companions had the steak schwarma plate. The first thing that comes out is a plate with the most delicious homemade hummus, a warm pita and salad with tomatoes and cucumbers. The dressing is the most heavenly balsamic. I could have licked the plate. Our salads were delivered by Sonny, a very humorous waiter, cook and cashier as he did all 3. He answered all of our questions and gave us a sample of something we were curious about that we definitely will try next time. The falafel was cooked perfectly, crunchy on the outside, soft and delicious on the inside. It came with 2 sauces and rice. There was a tzatziki and another sauce that was delicious. Can't wait to try other dishes. We will be back for the amazing food, service and jokes by Sonny. It was a great experience. read more

Ok, I just can't give 5 stars unless there is ZERO room for improvement and judging by what I experienced today my update will be 5 stars.. My wifey is Lebanese and today's lunch felt like family Thanksgiving. Tray Kibbi!! not TRY Kibbi, It's Fuckin Kibbi in a tray, just how I like it! Get the fuck outta here!! AND they said they'd make the Kibbi for me, sans pine nuts, due to my allergies with no problem! I'm unclear if I should take my wife here or not, for fear that I may not get another home cooked meal, but does that really matter except I'm paying for it? I'm paying either way right? Oh boy, just eat here. You will not be disappointed. Did I mention they have grape leaves? Sorry to Genos next door, but I've fallen in love with someone else... read more

Food is FRESH! Best falafel I've ever had! Best eggplant I've ever had! The service was wonderful: patient, inviting and personable. The hummus was top notch. Great for take out, or staying in to eat (only about 6 seats inside, but comfortable especially if it's just you and a friend). I love supporting new small businesses - I was so glad we found this place!! read more

The most delicious, healthy, fast meals ever. Staff is very friendly and nice.

Found this little gem, and have been amazed at the quality. The menu is simple and loaded with flavor, truly homemade not a bunch of out of the box falafel and frozen pre sliced gyro meat. Eat on the the regular read more

Awesome food, and great service! It's a great place to eat healthy. Get the Greek salad with chicken kebabs, it's delicious!!

The staff is amazingly friendly and the food was one of the best i had. I like the chicken shawarma, the meat was really flavorful, the hummus also was excellent with a nice texture. I would definitely recommend trying this out. read more

I noticed that this place opened near my work so I gave it a go. The menu is very small but I would rather have someone do a few dishes really well then trying to cater to everyone. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma wrap and I got french fries on the side. The Chicken was really good and the fresh veggies were awesome. The sandwich had tons of flavor and the Hummus was great. The fries could have been more well done but overall I really enjoyed my food. They also have a big selection of Desserts that are ready for take away in the coolers. I intend on coming back many more times and trying everything! read more

Amazing authentic flavors, tender and delicious meats. The vegetables were crisp and fresh. Our server was friendly and gracious.

Amazing, fresh, authentic food with specials that rotate and add variety to the menu. I have always been treated AMAZINGLY at this restaurant, so I'm sorry to read the one star review and have to disagree. I went in with a friend and our to 6 month old babies and was made to feel completely welcome. I really appreciated the attitude as it's often intimidating to bring your baby to a restaurant. I'm so glad we did because it was a great experience and Wessen's is now one of my local favorites. read more

This place is great. I just got my first order and the food is fantastic with a very welcoming owner. You might not notice it driving by but it's definitely worth finding. read more

This could become my favorite restaurant. I love Mediterranean food and this lovely place didn't disappoint. I ordered the veggie platter and everything on it was scrumptious. The falafel was incredibly good as was the hummus and the dolmas. I wanted to lick the plate! The place is sparkling clean and cozy. The young man who waited on us was friendly and very accommodating. I'll go back as often as I can and bring my friends. It's easy to get to, right off the 101 and University in Tempe. YUM! read more

Amazing food! They have a great varieties of middle eastern food. Excellent customer service!

This is my favorite middle eastern restaurant! The staff was helpful and friendly! Sam, the manager/chef was outgoing and creates amazing dishes! I highly recommend this place!! read more

Third time I have had lunch here and I can officially say I love it! Everything is authentic and tastes wonderful, Wessen and her staff are very friendly and helpful. Willing to take time to explain menu and daily specials. If your a fan of Mediterranean food or want to give it a shot I highly recommend you stop in! read more

This place is REALLY good. I initially stopped on the way home from work to eat at the restaurant a few doors down that was advertising gyros. Once I parked and saw this place I decided to try it out. First of all, the lady working was extremely friendly. She knew I was a first timer so she went over what everything only the menu and shared her favorites. Once I ordered, I realized that the meat is cooked to order and brought out from the kitchen in a skillet! Nice surprise. The steak shawarma wrap was amazing as well as authentic and I even got a free bottled coke. Will be back! read more

Best Middle Eastern food I've tasted in town. They have off menu item called Mansaf it's my favorite.

Just amazing Mediterranean food! We stumbled on to it by cheer luck and I'll have tell you I was very impressed! Along with your typical delicious kabobs & shawarma, tabouleh, falafel, they make different fresh Home cooked meals everyday with s different menu. Very unique spot! See Sonny when you're there he'll extra care of you!! read more

Best Arabic food since I moved to the USA outside of my mom and Teta (grandmother's cooking). You have to ask them what they have in the kitchen (off menu means mining to them). Traditional Iraqi food (kooba hamouthe, bamia, mansaf, biryani-Arabic style, Kubba mosel, moulikhiyya, fasoulia, etc etc. we don't eat falafel and shwarmah in our homes in he Middle East...we eat Tabkhah, or Tabbeeqh....the home meals that take a day to make. I took two friends there, and we ordered almost one of everything that hey had made that day. All was up to Arab home food standard. Incredible. And they are the nicest people you will ever meet. They don't mind explaining all the dishes in the back kitchen. Shwarmah is street food. You have to try the home food. read more

Visited here today on a whim and I'm glad I did. I was worried they were going to be expensive but was pleasantly surprised. I had the falafel wrap deluxe (falafel w/2 slices of fried eggplant and fries) and my husband had the chicken schnitzel. The restaurant was clean and the staff was pleasant. Everything we had was tasty. I have had falafel in quite a few restaurants in AZ and this is by far the best yet! Also, the eggplant was cooked to perfection and served hot so the texture was still spot on. My husband was just as happy. The chicken was breaded evenly and it was fried up perfectly, nice and crispy breading! As a bonus they gave us a sample of their potatoes and meatballs. Quite good and probably what our little guy will order when we come back! Definitely, worth giving a chance if you want to try some place new. :) read more

What a great place for healthy Delicious food very friendly staff we loved it highly recommended, we ordered so many things to try they were all delicious we definitely be back to eat & also order food to go for special occasions read more

My boyfriends friend from work recommended this restaurant and it was amazing!!! I will definitely be back!

Nice place, but not worth more than 3 stars. On the plus side, the prices were good and they didn't charge me for my hummus (intentionally.). The place is also clean. On the negative side, the 'pita' they gave me was a cracker and the shawarma was essentially a gyro with different sauce. The SF Bay Area has a number of good Mediterranean restaurants and relative to those, this place shouldn't get more than 3 stars. read more

Decided to check out this place since I live down the street. I was greeted by a lady and the cook (Sonny) and he was very welcoming and nice. Had a conversation with him which was cool. He also gave me a sample of the rice bc I didn't know which to get. I ended up getting the combo plate of beef shawarma and chicken kabob with hummus and salad for $10.95. It was amazing. And for the price it was definitely worth it. I enjoyed he rice and the meats were really good, especially the chicken kabob. I would definitely come here again soon. Great food and service. read more

Best food ever. Best Mansef ever it reminds of my grandma's and my wife loves the shawarma. Thank you for the great experience.

Great place. Very friendly and the food is authentic and fresh. Went for the falafel. It was some of the best I've had

I love mediterranean food so I checked out this place last week. It looks very modern and clean. I ordered a potatoe chop wrap and had to wait very long until I got it. And then, unfortunately, it didn't taste very good. read more
