Lamb Sharma plate
Cathy E.

I live near this restaurant and have passed it many times and thought I should try this place. Well, today was the date that I tried lunch here and wow I am glad. I ordered the lamb sharma plate lunch and my lunch was 13.99. I was very pleased and this is some of the best Mediterranean food that I have had in Lexington. If you see this small place on Georgetown street you should give it a try, glad that I did!

Fabulous! Almost hesitant to post if it will increase crowd size in a small place. Huge portions, good value, fresh ingredients, and friendly service. Falafel was the best I've had in Lex (including Sahara and Nefertiti - both great). Clearly I have been sleeping on this place but no more! Will be back very soon!

Chicken Kebobs and lamb. Perfection. Right down to the best olive oil I've ever had.

Incredible food. Just incredible. The ingredients are sourced ... from the source. The food is made with love and good cheer. It's a delight to chat with the owner and it's heart warming to hear of his love of Lexington and Kentucky. We are lucky to have him and his family here!!! Well done

Combination rice plate with meatballs, green beans, cooked with garlic and tomato, stuffed grape leaves, and hummus.

This is such a great little eatery! Fresh and delicious Mediterranean food, made to order, the way you like it! I've eaten here so many times, it's hard to say a good things about the food and the very friendly, and accommodating staff. If you're really hungry, they the plates featuring delicious seasoned basmati, rice, your choice of protein, along with your choice of sides, plus a large room of pita, if you'd like. If you're not quite as hungry, there are wrap style sandwiches made with chicken or beef Shawarma, lamb, falafel, meatballs, or kebabs. The chicken Shawarma is a must have, are the meatballs, which I did not expect to be quite so delicious! They have healthy sides, including green beans, cooked with tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic, hummus, baba ghanoush, and everything is made right before your eyes. The falafels are not made in advance, but fried fresh per order, since they are always delicious, hot and crisp! Don't forget the toum/garlic sauce, or the tahini sauce, or pomegranate molasses! Besides being delicious, everything always looks great since it is garnished with traditional Middle Eastern pickles, olives, sliced onion, olive oil, and sumac. Do yourself a favor and stop by this great little restaurant. You'll be glad you did!. There's a small area for eating inside, and a covered area for eating outdoors, but many people take their food to go. This place is hidden gem, which should not be missed!

Went back to make sure it wasn't a fluke - we tried three different wraps between the three of us and all were great.

Online ordering is always reliable, especially in a pinch. They have the best subs, my regular…read moreorder is the Club Sub the Mike's way!

Whenever I review an establishment, I try to look beyond good service, or good food, or good…read moreselection. Most apprising businesses endeavor to offer a good product. For me, I try to find or discover what sets a business apart from other of its competitors. I watch for the special touches that prove a business is going out of its way to cater to their customer. Today I found it as this establishment. My wife and I arrived during a very busy lunch rush. When we walked in, there were no tables available. With confidence, I ordered our meal. While we were doing so, a table opened and we were able to dine in. Let me start with the only negative of the whole experience. Parking. Parking lot was full. (Usually means a lot of people think its a good place to eat). Enough said. We found parking, but it was at a premium when we were there. Upon entering the establishment and finding it full of lunch goers, I expected some level of disarray. There was none. There was a plethora of people behind the counter. We were greeted upon arrival. I ordered a regular Italian sandwich made Mike's way. As usual, the sandwich was filled with meat and the goodies. I've never gotten a slack sandwich from a Jersey Mike's. My wife has a very prolific sensitivity to gluten and one of the reasons we eat at Jersey Mike's is because they have gluten free deli rolls. Here is where I found what sets this establishment, and all Jersey Mike's aside from other culinary competitors of its type. Upon understanding my wife's need for safe food, the gentleman who had made my sandwich began making my wife's sandwich. That included wiping all the crumbs from the counter, wiping down the utensils and making sure that he changed his gloves. There was a very deliberate effort made to ensure that my wife's sandwich was safe and enjoyable for her to eat. After cleaning the entire workspace and donning new gloves, this employee finished crafting my wife's sandwich with the same care and concern that he had made mine. Despite the work involved with providing her this product, our wait time was not affected. Our food was made quickly and according to our desires. While this was happening, someone in the staff cleaned a table that had become unoccupied, and my wife and I sat down at a clean table to enjoy our meal. The soda fountain was clean, and our beverages were dispensed correctly. I highly recommend the cream soda. It is delicious and not too sweet. As we ate, tables would clear and almost immediately, as if they were waiting to pounce, someone would come out and clean the table and prepare it for the next guest. The floor was clean. The windows were clean. The kitchen was clean. Trash cans were emptied and not overflowing despite how busy things were. Guess where I went next? Back to the restrooms I trotted myself, for no other purpose... than finding them clean as well. While we were there, there was a steady line of to go orders going out the door. Each customer was greeted, even if they were going to dash. While we were eating, someone checked on us to make sure we were happy with our meal. My wife and I had a pleasant lunch date together and felt safe and comfortable eating here. The counter was well staffed, the food was good and the quality of the product for the money was worth it. Despite how busy it was, there was a friendly, bustling ambience. People seemed genuinely excited to be dining there. Smiles and laughter abounded from different tables. For a very busy, inner-city store, this Jersey Mike's is rocking it! My wife and I will eat here again and enjoy other lunch dates to this location. This location is handicap accessible without issue.
