“During the past five years, we have enjoyed the authentic Turkish cuisine at Bayshore Mediterranean Grill. Having made several trips to Turkiye, we can attest to this fact! Thanks to the restaurant staff for providing excellent service. Special thanks to Rania, our server.“
“Stopped on the way home from out of town. Small family owned business with a fast casual feel but way better food. When the food came out with sumac I was hyped because I knew it would be good. The woman who took my order was very nice and helpful. The hummus was amazing, creamy in texture and the pita was warm and fresh. SOO good. The babaganoush was not my favorite because I prefer creamier but it was still quite good. Fattoush salad dressing was incredible. I got it with chicken and I didn't even need to. Falafel wrap was amazing. The falafel was fresh, the wrap was press toasted perfectly I love a toasted wrap. Light balsamic glaze on the outside, it was the perfect portion. Get a wrap! If I go back (quite out of the way from where I am probably an hour) I would get hummus, fattoush and a falafel wrap. I got a to go mix grill, I picked at the meat to try. It wasn't bad but not my favorite thing I ate there. If you like fresh mint their mint lemonade is delicious.“
“tried this restaurant for the first time yesterday. smelled amazing as you entered. we were warmly greeted by the owner...amazing vegetarian and vegan choices. Food was fresh and very good. we tried the mezze Platter, lentil soup, and falafel. Everything was really yummy. can't wait to go back and try the other 6 hummus flavors! Definitely give it a try.“
“What a wonderful establishment! It is super trendy, super clean, and the food looks extremely fresh and authentic. Not to mention the customer service is extraordinary. Stratos was who helped us out and he was extremely friendly and efficient. The owners definitely lucky to have him as an employee. We would recommend recommend to anyone and everyone that comes downtown!“

“Went before the superbowl and it was slow as anticipated. Service was great. Food was fantastic. Great experience.One small recommendation for management, please offer at least 1 nonalcoholic beer option for those of us that don’t drink but would like a beer with a delicious meal!“
“An esthetically beautiful place with stylish interior, good quality service, an acceptable, but not outstanding food. First disappointment was when I was greeted by one of hostesses who did not smile or made me feel welcome. She also provided lunch menus instead of brunch menus as it seemed that doing her job was a bother to her. Luckily, our server, Frankie, was great, and he made sure we got the attention we needed. He described Predalina as a Seafood-Driven Mediterranean Cuisine restaurant, explained in details various menu items, and made some food recommendations. However, when one of my friends received her Crab Benedict, lump crab patty was extremely dry / overcooked and poached eggs that are usually the star of any eggs Benedict, to our great disappointment, looked more like hard-boiled eggs. Manager stopped by the table to take the benedict back to substitute for an omelet. Myself and my other friend ordered an omelet each also, I just added avocado to mine. I'd give this omelet 4.5 stars. It came with a side salad + roasted tomato, spinach, onion, feta, chive inside the omelet, crispy potato, and a toasted sourdough on a side - which was so delish! My hazelnut latte was 3/5 only because hazelnut syrup tasted artificially, but both of my friends really enjoyed their decaf latte as well as lavender chai latte. One more thing I would like to mention is that it was very cold inside. *Parking: you can park at $4 per hour at E. Cumberland Avenue parking garage with plenty of space available or use a valet for $30+. I look forward to trying this place for dinner. Hoping for a 5-star experience next time.“
“I was starving so my photo does not do justice to the food. Portions are very generous. Big thumbs up to the chicken schwarma and Greek fries. Carnitas was only OK. The pork was well done, but the flavors were sort of one dimensional. Still worth a return visit!“
“The tirosalata was amazing, and I really enjoyed my lentil soup and small Greek salad. My family members were not so impressed with their gyros, and they didn't really care for the calamari, either. Our server was nice but not as warm and friendly as we would have hoped. A discount was given for one of the gyros missing the tomato and onion. Overall, I think it's a pretty nice place but not the best Greek food.“
“First time my family and I tried this restaurant and got takeout. Our kids got the chicken strip kids meal with fries, I’m not big on chicken strips lol but they were really good and came with a very generous portion for the price. My fiancé got a mixed meat loaded potato and I got the chicken shawarma loaded potato. I’ve never tried anything like it before, I’m sure it’s not an original Middle Eastern dish and is kinda Americanized, but I love potatoes and I love Mediterranean food, it went soooo good together!! Big potato, lots of topping and bursting with flavor and different textures. The garlic sauce and tzatziki sauce were both amazing as well!! We will be back soon to try other things! Food and service were amazing!“
“Waitress: articulate, knowledgeable about the menu, chef/kitchen: went out of their way to make me fresh falafel to make sure it was gluten free. All very kind, smiling. Food: perfect! Falafel tasted great, hot, crunchy outside. Hummus was creamy, tasty plentiful. Stuffed leaves were fresh, tasty. Salad tasted fresh and perfect serving size! Thank you guys!!“
“Haven't been here in years. They have completely changed the inside. Newer look, outside area and separate bar area. We ordered a veggie appetizer platter. It was 10/10. The dolma was absolutely delicious, the hummus, baba ghanous and tabbuleh was good too. For mains we ordered the beef shawarma, chicken shawarma and gyro platter. The gyro was delicious and so was the chicken shawarma. The beef shawarma had a funny taste. The plates came with steamed veggies and hummus. Overall it was good. Better than the last time we came here years ago. Glad we gave it another try.“
“We started with the grape leaves and falafel apps. I was pleasantly surprised that the grape leaves were not served cold as most places do. Hot grape leafs are my favorite. The falafel was perfectly cooked. Reminded me of my mom’s cooking. My wife got the chicken Shawarma plate and enjoyed it . I got the mixed grill plate and it did not disappoint. All halal meat was cooked and flavored very well. Portion size was great for the prize . We both took some food home. Aside from the food Majdi , the gentleman behind the counter which I think is the owner was very welcoming , warm and made us feel at home right away. Only downfall is that we wish we lived closer but will definitely be coming back !“
“I’m not one to leave a review unless I’m very impressed with the quality of the food and friendly service. Truly Greek met both. My wife was also impressed. This was our first time dining there (lunch). We will certainly be back. We had a large Greek salad, potato salad, and Chicken wrap. The salad was huge and every ingredient was fresh. The potato salad was slightly sweet (as we both like) very well seasoned and also huge. The chicken wrap had a flavor that we didn’t recognize but we really liked it. (It’s nice to eat a chicken wrap that doesn’t taste like all the others out there) It was also huge and the chicken was fresh and well prepared. I was told by our server that they are a scratch kitchen and after eating there believe it. This is a place everyone needs to try out.“
“Picked this place for lunch and I looked like a champ. Food was awesome to include the Chicken Rhodes, really good pick for me. They do have Pepsi products which normally mean a 1/2 point deduction for me but the food, outside tables on a beautiful day, and waitress who was on top of things really made this a 5 star experience. Parking is pretty easy here.“
“Think of it as a Mediterranean/ Greek influenced Chipotle. I would say the quality (and taste) is a notch above but the price is comparable. We have been to this location numerous times now and it's always Beena consistently good. My favorite is the harissa sweet and spicy chicken! I would also like to mention the team that works here is great and always a pleasure to deal with.“
“We had eaten here several times before and recently organized a buffet dinner for 20 in their upstairs room. The food was flavorful, fresh and varied. The staff was extraordinarily attentive without being intrusive. The decor was creative - matching the occasion. I highly recommend this restaurant.“
“Lovely time in the main dinning room for brunch. Staff were friendly and prompt. Choice's on menu were a little different from what was viewable online. Great service. Great ambiance. Fair prices, sharables were a little small but still fair. Good food.“
“Our dining experience was delightful! I had the Beets & Arugula salad with blackened salmon. It was fresh, and the salmon was cooked perfectly. My husband had a big bowl of very creamy and delicious chicken rigatoni. The service was absolutely wonderful and the manager even sent us over a free dessert. It was so good that we forgot to take pictures.“
“So, I've waited 2 weeks after my dinner at Lilac to write this -- to "sleep on it" a lot, if you will. I left that night thinking it was one of a handful of great meals I've had in my life, on multiple continents. I still feel that way now. I can still recall most of what I ate and drank, and my wife says I'm no memory champ.Lilac is firing on all cylinders, and especially the tastes of the food and wine: pure and vivid. I've always been attracted by a Michelin star, and this place can sort of re-set for you what a 2-star dinner should be, in case you've gotten disoriented by past experiences elsewhere, as I had. Yet, not an ounce of pretense here. I think 7 different servers tended to me, all speaking when spoken to, and all quietly efficient otherwise.Lots of reasons to eat at Lilac. The 2 compelling reasons that come to my mind: you really, really enjoy well-conceived and expertly rendered food and the wine matches possible with a bright, knowledgeable somm; and/or you love the social high from breaking bread with others with little distraction and drama from having to deal with the food/wine details. Bon appetit!“
“This place is a gem! Vegan breakfast burrito, Mediterranean platter, falafel sandwich, even vegan baklava!Pros: Vegan options, Friendly service, Lovely cafeVegetarian options: Vegan breakfast burrito, Mediterranean platter, falafel sandwich, even vegan baklava!“
“From entering to exiting, the staff was very friendly. Well seasoned and flavorful Mediterranean and seafood dishes. Busch Gardens tries to hide this place with their half-mile wall, but we made the trek anyway! In a sea of burgers and nuggets at the theme park, we wanted something better and this place hit the spot. Happy campers!“
“In Tampa for work staying Downtown, walked in and my chicken pita was AMAZING. Abdul was really nice and welcoming. I didn't eat it until I got back to my hotel room, was so tempted to walk back and get another. Food was fresh and chicken was not dry and well seasoned. My go to whenever I'm in Tampa from now on.“
“I first had Cava in San Diego and was so excited to find it in Tampa! Amazing food, I feel great after eating it! It’s kind of like a healthier more delicious chipotle. Only Mediterranean instead of Mexican! I build my own bowl and I could literally eat it everyday. I’m absolutely shocked this place wasn’t packed, but maybe people just need to get on the cava hype in Florida. THANKYOU guys everything in there is amazing!“
“I’m only writing this review because of one specific worker named Blake at the Brandon location. He is always so pleasant, fast paced , attentive and personable. Who ever is his boss needs to give him a promotion and a raise! Great customer service is one of the main reasons people go back to establishments. He’s doing a great job. So whoever is reading this be kind to him! Oh and the food is great too lol“
“Honestly, I read all reviews and most of them were not good and I was hesitant about ordering but I decided to order and I’m glad I did. I ordered Gyro sandwich with cheesy fries and the food was delicious. The sandwich was stuffed with gyros meat which surprised me. I’m used to having gyros from other places and they never had half of the amount of meat that they had on my sandwich. I definitely recommend Zeko’s. I don’t have a photo because I ate my sandwich right away lol.“
“Come here every Friday for work lunch. The pizza is so good. It's a small restaurant and we take up pretty much the whole place. We are only there for about an hour or so. The pizza is always fresh, thin crust and the amount of cheese is amazing.“
“Getting a table here ! Can’t go wrong here with drinks , Mesa appetizers , entrees , entertainment and excellent service. All your pleasure sensors are united with dining , vibe , DJ, drums and beautiful Brazilian dancers. It’s more than a dinner and a show it’s a memorable experience. Mediterranean based menu includes options for all , including the vegans. The people out to be seen are seen here. Well done DiO, second to none ?“
“Visited Kipos Yesterday for lunch around noon Sol treated me fantastic She was wearing a shirt different from the other crew I am assuming she was a manager My first time visiting kipos she explained to me the whole menu I asked her what was her favorite she mention the Gyro plate so I got the gyro plate and it was delicious I am definitely coming back and also coming back for dessert she recommend it the cheesecake“
“I always have issues with orders. They are often closed without changing their hours on google or Uber Eats, so you have no idea until you get there or place the order and wait an hour for a delivery driver to go out of their way to for nothing because they’re closed and the deliver driver calls you to tell you. This last time (there have been 3 instances) really upset me because I called ahead of time (also usually useless because half the time they don’t answer even when they are open, and I was told yes they are open and I told him my order and we politely ended the call, just for my order to turn around and show up as having been cancelled by the vendor on my app. It’s good food, not the best I’ve ever had but good, an I like it to local businesses but it’s just not worth it in this case“
