“The best eggplant dishes ever!“

“This place is wonderful! Everything I have ever ordered was ready for pick up (online ordering is the best thing ever invented lol) and the food is great! The workers are always friendly and have a smile when I come in. You never know how much a simple smile can help someone. I had a gyro platter for $11 and received so much food! The falafels are also pretty good. I can't wait to go back tomorrow! 10/10 Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Easy access at Int'l Mall with plenty of self parking but pricy valet if only there for dinner--what happened to complimentary valet?\nService was stellar especially that provided by manager Matt. He was helpful with menu and gave us a free app of grilled octopus that was incredibly tasty and attractively presented. He also comp'd a glass of wine to compensate for the valet parking charges--nice touch!\nFood was delicious, attractive in presentation, large in portion size and incredibly flavorful. Menu is limited but varied enough to satisfy most tastes. \nDecor was simple but attractive; they have both indoor and outdoor dining. \nPrices were very reasonable for the quality, quantity preparation you receive. \nHighly recommend and will definitely return.“

“One of the best restaurants in town! The quality of food and service in excellent and you can taste the passion for good cooking in every dish that comes to the table. Go to Rosenheim and enjoy great food and exotic atmosphere to complete your experience! Going back soon.“

“I went in for my first time and was kinda confused / lost on what to order and Jason took me step by step over all the options and described the flavors . He went above and beyond for me and I appreciate it . Cava should consider itself lucky to have a great worker like him.“

“As usual, the service was excellent, friendly and attentive but not over-bearing. Our food selections (LOBSTER & SWEET POTATO BISQUE, SPAGHETTI SQUASH “CARBONARA” , PAN-SEARED HALIBUT (substituted by RED GROUPER) were uniformly enjoyed and delicious. We got a complementary cheesecake to help celebrate a birthday--don't usually get dessert but this I would actually order next time.“

“Amaziiiiiing. FRESH,AUTHENTIC AND DELICIOUS!!!“

“First time eating from here and Oh my goodness!! Everything is absolutely delicious! The bowls are packed with so much yummy goodness and the cucumber yogurt has that amazing taste of garlic in it! 😍🤤 The falafel is perfectly seasoned and sesame on it makes it even tastier than it already is. Beyond impressed! My new favorite place. Seriously, truly wonderful food! ❤️“

“Great atmosphere , food and music!“

“Our server Emily was happy and friendly. She made some recommendations and was very helpful. The chicken Rhodes will melt in your mouth! So delicious! And the hummus with pita points was fresh and wonderful. Someone got the spinach artichoke dip to share. I wished it was an entree. The Acropolis chicken salad surprised my friend because the chicken was breaded. The menu describes it as such but she overlooked that part. She said it was worth the extra calories! The calamari was excellent--so crispy! The belly dancer offered novel entertainment that we enjoyed, too.“

“Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. We will come here often.“

“Food is awesome. Tried it today for the first time and will definitely be back.“

“Súper recomendado !! Excelente servicio y la comida muy muy buena .. tanto los entrantes como el plato principal y ni hablar del postre !! Volveremos pronto 😉..“

“Friendly staff, good food!“

“Very tasteful and plentiful. We always order the family platter (5 of us) and end up taking food home. If you're looking for a quick in/out this is not a place for you. They prepare the food upon your order. Dinning area is clean just needs a little updating. But again the food is delicious and I'm not there for the decor. Food is served with a smiling face.“

“Delicious food!! We live nearby and will be eating here frequently. The owners/employees are also very kind!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The menu offered a great variety, and everything we ordered was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious—fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and generous portions.

Service was prompt, and our server made excellent recommendations that really elevated the meal. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a great vibe that made it perfect for both a casual meal and a special occasion. I left feeling satisfied and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!“

“The best restaurant that remember me in Germany“

“First time ordering catering for our office. Definitely will not be the last or only time. From ordering experience to delivery to eating experience it was high above expectations! The delivery driver went thru the order and explained how to present the food matching the entree/item with the accompanying sauces. The food itself was phenomenal. Everyone was pleased. We have never run out of food that we have ordered until today. Definitely highly recommend.“
