“Excellence service, relaxed, lots of parking and THE BEST COFFEE IVE HAD in SD!!! Be here! Great options too! I got Orange Coffee-yum-that’s love!

This place has a calm vibe and good Middle Eastern music.

Baklava! Wow! Great not overly sweet stuff here! Grab that! Really one of the best ever!

I love this place and see why it’s so highly rated. Clairemont area, but not on the strip. Close to Convoy!“

“Very clean interior, good camera very quickly but not too quickly (you can tell it was fresh), staff very friendly and patient and the cook offered to bring more condiments and additives after bringing us our food!! Would eat every day if I lived here; amazing place to grab a quick bite, go out with friends, or want a casual dining experience (Edit: tastiest schwarma I’ve had, seasoned/ dressed with love and the falafel was heaven)“

“The grilled chicken in any menu item. The chicken wrap is to kill for, according to my better half. The simple rice with grilled chicken kabob is my go-to. At least once a week.“

“This has been our go to for takeout since we discovered it. Nothing I have tried there is anything short of wonderful. The Kofte Burger is perfect, with a nice kick from the harissa, the chicken shawarma sandwich is delicious and my kids’ fave, the falafel are beautiful, I’m running out of adjectives but suffice it to say it’s all good and you should try it. With a side of the fries. The owner is lovely, and makes you feel very welcome. Ask her about the doors. When we have time we like to eat in the restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and unique, you’ll have to go see for yourself.“

“Great tasty food fear prices friendly service and fast preparation recommended 100% give it to tray you’ll love it .“

“It’s the best and my favorite 🤩“

“We have ordered Kebabs before here, we recently ordered a meal kit that was all rice and hardly any meat, I mean it was a joke, its a $30 meal. I messaged them because we have ordered several times before and thought maybe they would try to make it right but they never replied. This was 2 weeks ago. We will never buy food here again! The servings are very small and there are tons of other places to eat or order take out around here if they want to be jerks about it! The food is average really, we order out frequently so as not to have to cook and live in the area. We got about $1 worth of rice and lettuce for a $30 meal plate, what a joke!“

“The restaurant seems from the first look normal or low quality and cleanliness. But to be honest it has the best Iraqi way fish which they called MASGOOF. We had the best lunch today and the owner he is an old man recommended us ALQATAN fish a big one like 10 bounds fish and cooked it with the Iraqi way. It’s amazing, very delicious and juicy. The taste will never come out from my mouth“

“It’s the best and my favorite 🤩“

“A huge thank you to the SDSU location! I only had cash on me, which they don't take, and the staff was so kind. They let me have my falafel naanarito anyway. The food is always great, but it was extra delicious with the side of compassion today! I went back to pay later. Thank you again for the kindness and the yummy lunch. Both make the world a better place.“

“Unbelievably good. It’s worth the trip for the mountain of perfect fries alone.“

“So good we went there twice, had a really great vegan options that Felt just as flavorful and thoughtful as the omnivore counterparts. Open late, which is amazing for a night on the town. Super convenient location. Couldn’t ask for anything more!“

“This place was suggested by a friend. It was great. Parking is tough in the area so be prepared. When you walk in your are entering a different world. The place is a little dark at first but your eyes adjust and it is perfect to capture the feel. Our waitress made great recommendations that we simply followed. Food was very good but the combination of ambiance added quite a bit to the experience. I recommended to a friend at work immediately. Will likely take our parents back who have traveled the world for this little slice of culture.“

“Best falafel ever they are fresh crunchy and delicious. Dolmas and delicious beef and chicken kebab.“

“I ordered 5 Ground Beef Kabob Skewers , 5 Chicken Tikka Skewers, 1 chicken cream chop, 1 Shawarma Wrap, Rice, Hummus & Salad. Served with Pita Bread, Grilled So when I got home I find out there is only 4 Ground Beef kabob and 4 chicken Tikka And that was so embarrassing for me because I invited 5 people for lunch That was really bad experience“

“I have been going to Gyros House for years, and have never had a bad experience. It's my go-to for gyros, and (in my opinion) the best option in the Parkway Plaza food court.

The food is reasonably priced and amazing quality. The gyro meat is perfectly seasoned, hot, and tender. The vegetables are fresh and crisp. The pita is soft, warm, and flavorful. The sauces are perfect. The portions are big and very much worth the cost. The french fries are crispy and light, always hot and perfectly salted.

The customer service is incredible. The man who always makes my gyros always has a smile on his face and puts a smile on mine. Same with the woman who sometimes works the register. They are kind and helpful.

Very lovely people, very good food, great prices. Much better than the chain gyro places around.“

“I would recommend this establishment they have great food great customer service“

“one of my favorite place. the food is so incredible. it's a must if your in Hillcrest. I've never been disappointed.“

“(Translated by Google) I advise all Arabs to try eating their money! Their best grill! In our eyes, the taste is Baghdad, the grilled chicken and sumo make it masgoof so that the smell of firewood has it, and the kebabs are crazy(Original)‫ أنصح كل العرب يجربون الاكل مالتهم! اطيب مشاوي عندهم! عيناً الطعم ابغداد، الدجاج المشوي والسمج يسووه مسگووف بحيث ريحة الحطب بيه ، والكباب ايجنن‬‎“
