Middle Eastern Restaurants near Lenexa, KS

“We were so hungry when we arrived at Holy Land Cafe. It was late afternoon noon on one of our BRISK winter days. We walked in the door and or welcomed with the aroma of wonderful food coming from the kitchen. We chose to sit in a booth not too far from the entrance. The staff attended to us almost immediately. My husband ordered the garlic chicken dinner and I ordered the falafel sandwich. We both had the lentil soup as the accompaniment to our meal. The soup was served quickly, it was hot and delicious. Just what we needed to warm ourselves up. The food was served very quickly, And it was also delicious. My husband's meal I believe cost $15, And it was a substantial portion of food. The chunks if chicken breast were covered in a garlic and cream sauce I believe with maybe saffron in it, Served with rice, veggies ,and Pita bread. My falafel sandwich was amazing as well. There are 3 things that I judge mediterranean restaurants on one is their hummus the other is their falafel and the third is their pita bread. I combined all 3 things in my sandwich, And I was not disappointed. We couldn't believe we had never been to this restaurant before and we certainly will make sure that we return again. As we were paying for our meal we decided to get the pistachio baklava. They have several varieties of baklava and the pistachio one was a hit. Looking forward to trying the other varieties on another visit.“

“The hostess and owner were very nice and welcoming. Everything we had was good. We had beef/lamb shawarma with rice, lamb gyro with rice, beef shawarma wrap with fries, mix shawarma with rice (that included beef kofta, shish tawook chicken, & beef shawarna), naan, hummus, & baba ghanouj. The portions were big and as I said earlier, so delicious and the meat so tender! We are from out of town, but we will definitely be back when we visit KC again.“

“I went in late for the buffet and they were very kind to have it open even though their buffet hours were over.
The buffet itself was very varied and amazing, the kebabs especially were delicious.
Thanks to Gana for being very kind and helpful when I kept asking him about all the items.
It was probably one of the best Persian meals I’ve had and hope that more people are able to experience this place!“

“I think I saw an ad for Yafa Cafe on Facebook. We are always searching for good Mediterranean food, it's hard to find in Kansas City. Seeing Kibbeh on the menu automatically moved them to the top on the list. We really enjoyed our meals and appetizers! The kibbeh was good, the spanakopia was good. All of our meals were good. I really enjoyed the creamy chicken plate. The chicken shawarma was good. Everyone liked the kabobs (chicken and beef). We will definitely be back! The owner and employees were very nice and helpful. Highly recommend!“
