Golden: Restaurant & Pastry

We ordered a golden appetizer and a golden family bbq platter. As an arabic food, it was okay. The kebabs were a bit dry for me. If you like spicy food, then it might not be your thing. I loved their temr hindi drink. I wish they had a sugar-free version.The seating arrangement is congested, and if you're claustrophobic, you might not enjoy it.Overall, it was clean and a good place to go to have an arabic cuisine.

Food is absolutely delicious!We ordered the falafel, fattoush salad, and mix grill with shish, lamb pieces, hummus, and baba ghanoug, so good! The meat was hot and fresh and I love the spicy pita bread that comes with it. The falafel was hot and crispy and came with pickles and tahini sauce, perfect appetizer! Can’t wait to come back and try their other menu items.Only reason for the 4 stars is because of the decor and ambiance. There was sad classical music playing and two tvs showing videos of birds and cats, very off putting. But the food was great!

My dining experience at Golden Restaurant was truly remarkable. The food they served was authentic, bursting with flavors that transported me to the heart of the cuisine's origin. Every dish was a delightful journey for the taste buds. What elevated the experience even further was the excellent service. The staff was attentive, courteous, and truly made the meal special. I highly recommend Golden Restaurant to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable dining experience.

Great syrian food. SYRIANS are by far the best middle eastern cooks in my opinion. Love the vibes and u can still feel the mom and pop atmosphere. Go eat there if u want authentic middle eastern food.

Came here with my Egyptian friend and we both agreed this was the best shawarma we've ever had! And the employees were so patient and helpful to me who hasn’t tried a lot of the other menu items. Would definitely recommend. Unfortunately ate most of the food before we could take a picture but it was amazing and the portion sizes were perfect.

Worst experience, will never go again.We arrived there Sunday 4pm and they barely had 10% of their menu available and they were not welling to grill the food. So we ended up ordering cold appetizers which took them 15 minutes to serve.However, the new waitress came in and she showed some hospitality skills. And the Kenafah was great

This was our second visit here. After our first visit we came back with our family who was visiting from out of town. Everyone loved the food. We got the grilled family-sized platter and it fed 7 people. It was so good I am dreaming to go back and order it again. It’s the best Middle Eastern food I’ve had in Tampa.

Vegetarian options: One person in our group was vegetarian and ordered the falafel sandwich and loved it along with the vegetarian appetizers like hummus, etc.

Parking: The restaurant is located in a strip mall and there is plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: My kids love the food, even though they are picky eaters. And the staff is very friendly and loving towards children.
