As a foodie I would recommend the Thai spot, the Jamaican & the breakfast place next to the Thai place. Thai - The basil chicken is delish! Jamaican - The chicken curry was good! Plantains were nice and Pattie's were also pretty decent. The breakfast place has really good French toast sticks. Stay away from the Mediterranean it was inedible! And the fried chicken place wasn't great either. But it was also the same guy at both spots..

The Jamaican place in here is amazing. The food was delicious and freshly made. The service was fantastic and the experience was all around very genuine.

Food was cold. Hummus was cold. Fries were cold. Rice undercooked. Sorry but quality not upto the mark.

City, Food Hall, Destin Zaitoun!! YUM YUM YUM!! I had the chicken Shawarma bowl with hummus, saffron infused white jasmine rice so delicious!!!! I have had the lentil soup in the past, and it is divine!!! be sure and ask about the spice. Regular does not come with the spice sauce, and the spice was just the right amount. If you enjoy spicy food, add mostly flavor with a kick .!!! so many other things to try, I can’t wait to go back!

The Crispy Chicken was a disappointment . I got the Spicy Lola sandwich for $14 and I got served an extremely thin sliced chicken breast with two gorgeous buns to hid the monstrosities within. I think the lettuce was thicker than the chicken. The buns were by far the best thing on the dish. The Crispy Chicken staff was rude, especially when I asked if I could have napkins. He just said "we don't have any " and left it at that. When I asked where I could get some, he replied with "idk, check the other places if they have."

This place isn't going to last. It's way overpriced, no way locals can afford to eat here. The workers are all rude, and to top it off!?? The water station is full of dirty cups! See the image below. Do better Destin City Food Hall.

A lot of these 1 star reviews are from this restaurant’s competition. Very unfair. This food is VERY good! Highly recommended! I’m a local and come here often. The hummus and tabouleh and chicken and beef shawarm’s are excellent! Out of all the booths at the Destin City Food Hall- I go to this one every time. They have an amazing mint lemonade as well.

It's an excellent idea! Although, for most it's simply a mall food court! However, this food court comes with a $$$! Zaitoun, for example, a Lamb gyro and Dr.Pepper...$25.00! Never in my life have I paid so much for a street food found in bulk throughout the US and Europe!! Although good, not worth $25.00....no effing way. I inquired if the baklava was fresh. Informed by server it's not made fresh daily!!! When I reacted in shock of the price the server said that fries came with the meal as if to justify the $25.00 price. Take my advice, if you're looking for street food either find another more reasonable priced location or make it yourself. If you're a tourist; if you're dropping that kind of money for food, do yourself a favor and go to an actual restaurant and have an experience for that kind of price. The ambiance is nice with Top golf on Video a nice addition. And the bar in the middle is an Awesome touch...a great place for us gentleman to hang out while our better half's shop!!!But if you're into something quick, decent and EXPENSIVE...this is definitely the place for you!

Do not go by the pictures on their website. They serve lettuce salad instead of tabuleh and white rice with saffron rice. When I called them the lady on the phone said the pictures on the website are of the old menu. Should not they be uploading the right pictures of what they are serving? I mean when you are charging $22 and saving cost by substituting parsley tomatoes onion with lettuce lettuce lettuce and saffron with nothing feels like lack of respect towards your customers.Chicken shawarma 5/10, hummus 10/0

I was so excited to give this place a try, but was so highly disappointed when I finally did. Let me start with the service- I felt like a bother when I went up to the counter to place my order, the woman was on the phone and didn't acknowledge me, and was not friendly at all. I got the chicken shawarma bowl, it was delicious, but also cold and tasted stale. Hubby got the lamb gyro which came with fries. He enjoyed it, fries were tasty, but also cold. Fair amount of meat in both. Price a bit steep for our liking for what you get so we will not be back. Located in the food hall in Destin Commons so lots of seating available. Restrooms were clean.

Okay, first let me say the Tuk Tuk Thai place spring roles were outstanding, and the person behind the counter was welcoming and professional. Also the food hall was very clean. This is the good news. Now the reason for one star rating. The "Cripsy Chicken" and the Ramen place next to it is beyond disgusting. The men behind the counters were rude and uninterested in being there or being bothered to wait on customers. I went to the crispy chicken (huge mistake) and my friend went to the neighboring ramen place. I ordered a Red Bull and two sliders for $24! No fries or sides. Just two small burgers. I asked if they had ketchup and mustard only to be told very rudely,"no." Absolutely charming man. So it took the guy 20 minutes to make the sliders. Mind you, I was his only customer(should have been a clue this was a mistake!). After finally getting the sliders I was like "okay these don't look bad" and then I bit into one. Tasted like a heated up frozen patty that had been soaked in salt. To say it was inedible would be an understatement but the best part was when my friend said "look at that hair hanging from the burger!" I have a buzzcut, so I knew it wasn't my hair. Barf. Oh and my friends Ramen was a disgusting mess with little broth and dried chicken. Would be nice if people actually cared about the quality of food they are selling to customers. My advice is avoid this horrible Hall that is overpriced, even for gouging Florida prices, and cursed with terrible food. The Thai place deserves better neighbors who care about their food as much as they do. Unfortunately for them, this hall, will.most likely become another failed business. Overall, save your money, and your intestines, and go elsewhere.

Several food vendors to offer a group a variety of different foods. Food and service was good. The games looked fun but we didn't actually play them.

NOT AUTHENTIC Lebanese food. A poor excuse for it actually. Very overpriced for the portion sizes. It’s sad that the “best part” was the French fries cooked at the chicken place next to it in this “food court” style place.We felt bad for the ONE person on staff (as sweet as she was!) but that does not excuse the poor quality food and flavour. Taking 30min to prepare two pathetic meals? Not impressed.We got perhaps 1/4-1/3cup of meat per meal, low quality meat and definitely not fresh. No tzatziki sauce, no garlic sauce (toum).We feel like we were falsely advertised to and completely ripped off.DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Depends on what you choose to eat. Curry was excellent. Would be a fun place to have a few drinks.

The food court was very nice and clean. The staff was quick when you are done with your food to clean up. I personally didn't live this ramen. It could have been the base I chose. I usually get tonkotsu base for ramen so I wasn't a huge fan of this one. I would definitely try zaitoun! My sister in law had a lamb gyro there and it was really good!
