    We were looking for a place to stop for dinner on our way to Coachella from San Diego, and this is right along the way! We found the name of the restaurant to be funny, and ended up being very pleasantly surprised by the food there. I got the beef kebab plate and we got a side of falafel to share for the table (the falafel isn't on the menu but you can ask to order it as a side). The falafel came out piping hot and was crispy but not dry. The beef kebab plate was huge and enough for two people to share. The meat was cooked well and flavorful, and the garlic sauce (toum) was amazing. It wasn't super busy when we were there (on a Thursday evening), but our server was very nice. The portions are big at a good price, will be coming again if I'm passing through the area!

    WTFalafel was an unexpected win. In a city where good kabobs aren't exactly everywhere, this spot delivers. The service was genuinely welcoming, the food tasted fresh, and the kabobs were cooked perfectly. Juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Seasoning Alley in City of Montrose is still my personal favorite, but when I want something closer, WTFalafel absolutely gets the job done. No need to over-explain. It's worth the visit.

    Hidden gem!! I got a sampler of a good amount of their food. I got the baba ganoush which is one of the best I've had. The falafels were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I really loved the texture. All the meats were delicious and flavorful. I ate in and my only complaint why its a 4 star and not 5 is the wait time for my food. It took almost 40 mins for my food to come out. Only the baba ganoush came out at a decent time. I would order take out next time to avoid the wait since I really liked the food.

    Came in on a Monday around 5:30pm. We were seated right away. Our server was friendly and helped us make our selection's . We ordered the toum (garlic dip)- absolutely to DIE FOR for garlic lovers-hummus with pita bread, the Beirut sampler. The beef swarma was delicious served with hummus and tahini. Thank you it was so delicious. This is a definite MUST GO when in the mood for Lebanese food.

    First and foremost the owner Zeina is amazing she sets the ambiance for the place !!! The food is a lot they don't shy away from giving you the most to eat. The service is great. The continuity of care they give the guests is unmeasurable. It's my number one spot for Gyros. I always leave there full and happy.

    Kofta and chicken shawarma

    A wonderful hidden gem, the food is exceptional, the service is super friendly and the vibes are immaculate Huge portions and their special drink is one of the most unique I've tasted.

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    First time here. Customer service was excellent. The server was very attentive and super friendly. The chicken shawarma is delicious and full of flavor. It is clean and comfortable. I will definitely come back if I am in the area.

    Chicken wrap
    Kenneth L.

    Not bad, comparable to Fufu's, Georgie's, etc. I do think WTFalafel consistently has the best falafels (it's in their name!), but their other food is around the same level for somewhat higher prices. I ordered the chicken wrap, and the chicken looks a little sad, to be honest. Compare that to the falafel wrap, which looked and tasted way better. Also, their side chicken is not a good value. It's just one kabob, deconstructed. You're better off getting a plate!

    Food was not good at all. Old meat, rancid dressing. Slow service, and no one was there

    DELICIOUS FOOD!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My friend who grew up in Lebanon recommended this place and it did not disappoint Food: Beirut Beef Kebab & Tour of Beirut Combo which both were delicious 5/5 (see pictures) Ambiance 4/5: they have historic landmarks painted along the walls of the restaurant which added to the ambiance and felt really welcoming Service: the staff was very and attentive 5/5 HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you're in the mood for some good Mediterranean food

    First tine here service was awesome, food was amazing definitely will be going back everything was fresh, stuffed grape leaves fire, baklava so delish, my main entree was so good the garlic spread to die for

    Side salad
    Christina K.

    Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 3/5 Unassuming gem in the corner of the plaza. Indoor seating only. Ambiance isn't anything special but this place is fast food with good quality. Been here a couple of times and their food is consistently fresh with good portions and reasonable prices (approx $20 a plate) I get the chicken plate and it comes with a good amount of protein and the chicken is juicy and seasoned well. It's over a bed of rice and comes with hummus and pita bread . It also comes with a small side of salad but I love veggies so I always order an extra order of the side salad and it makes for the perfect meal. Will be back

    Great

    Tried Georgie's Mediterranean in Riverside and it definitely delivered…read more I got a chicken shawarma bowl with fries as the base, and also a plate with both chicken and beef shawarma. The bowl was really good using fries instead of rice honestly made it hit way harder. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and everything on top tied together really well without feeling too heavy. The combo plate was just as solid. The chicken was tender, the beef had a nice char and flavor, and both tasted fresh. Portions were generous too--definitely didn't feel like they were skimping. Everything tasted authentic and well-made, not dry or bland like some Mediterranean spots can be. Sauces brought it all together without overpowering the meat. Service was quick and the spot has a casual, no-frills vibe--just good food that comes out fast. Overall, really solid Mediterranean spot in Riverside. Good portions, good flavor, and worth coming back to.

    We were feeling Mediterranean and decided to try out a new place…read more First off the service and delivery were great. The food arrived on time, the order was correct, and it came all the way from Riverside. I'm not sure on the ambiance because I had the food delivered. As for the food, i opted for the combo plate. It came with 3 pieces of steak, chicken, and 1 Kefta kabob, rice, 2 sides, and pita bread. They have a lot of sides to choose from but I don't like that there's an up charge to substitute salad for rice so I got the rice. I love that they allow you to select how you want your beef cooked. I ordered Medium and it was cooked perfectly. The kefta kabob was well seasoned and packed full of Mediterranean spices (delicious). The chicken was full of flavor, cooked all the way through and tender. The rice was full of flavor. I've never had Mediterranean food with rice like this. You may or may not like it. I enjoyed the extra flavor than just having white rice. The tabbouleh was fresh and gave my meal some brightness. The pita bread was a disappointment for me. You could tell it's store bought or not freshly made. You can taste the flour or starch on it. It was dry and not good. It reminded me of the Pita bread in the bakery section of food4less. The other disappointing element to my meal was the cucumber yogurt (tzatziki) I don't like that the cucumber was cubed and it was watery. It lacked that cucumber flavor and it appeared to be prepared watered down intentionally. It was even lacking that tart yogurt taste because it was so thinned out. Overall, it was still a fairly good meal. I would suggest making or buying better pita bread. I would be willing to try it again because the meat was delicious and I'd get hummus instead of the cucumber yogurt.

Reservations were easy thanks to automated reservation technology. Our server, Emma, was pleasant, attentive and friendly. Even the bartender stopped by our table for a visit. The restaurant was crowded on a Sunday night, but we weren't made to wait for anything. The brussel sprouts with wine-marinated cranberries were heavenly. A must-order! I had the salmon with sweet potato fries. Outstanding! And the serving was large enough that I took half home. My son had pasta. My husband had a burger and couldn't even finish it was so generous.

The first time was amazing, but this time there were a couple of issues with the food. My Wagyu ribeye was ordered medium-rare but came out rare, and the crème brûlée wasn't cooked properly either.

I'm still giving them 4 stars because the staff were super friendly, attentive, and genuinely tried to make things right. I'll definitely be back, and hopefully the kitchen has addressed the issue with the undercooked meat.
