Middle Eastern Restaurants near Overland Park, KS

“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!“

“Lunch date with my husband. If you love Mediterranean food I strongly suggest going here. The red pepper humus is the best I’ve ever eaten. The customer service was outstanding! The kabob is so perfectly grilled. Yummy!“

“Was trying to get turned around on Metcalf, Dad was in the mood for Greek food. Pulled off into little center area to loop back on 105th… and bam there was this little authentic Greek restaurant. WOW! The food was amazing!!! A great find!“

“First I really did enjoy the food, i picked up a gyro sandwich with hummus to go. I also picked up a side of baklava.
Unfortunately to go orders , do not get top complementary mint tea, and honestly it was priced a little bit high. That said, the flavor was outstanding.
If I had more time , I think I would enjoying setting down to a meal here. Maybe next time.“

“I’ve been here a few times and the food is always delicious. I took my mom here a few weeks ago for her first time, it was a Thursday at lunch and still no open tables. We went behind the curtain and sat down as some tables didn’t have chairs on top and seemed open seating. It was cool back there and we were glad to have seating. The lady with the colored hair and piercing got my drink wrong so I had to go back up and tell her so. She gave me a side eye like I ordered the wrong thing when I know I did not. Then told me the area behind the curtain is off limits, and I should have known that because of the chairs on the tables. Very passive aggressively, the white lady behind the counter repeated it. It’s one thing to politely say the area is closed, it’s another to imply we’re dumb for eating there. What’s dumb is we had to eat outside on a hot day despite them having plenty of seating. My mom is a humble woman, so she didn’t mind, but this wasn’t the kind of experience I wanted to give her. Not sure who these smart-asses are, but they could stand to be more polite and understanding, not weird to customers.“

“The falafel Sammies are the best in Kansas City!“

“Delicious Persian food in a cozy place with thoughtful and friendly service. It’s a small and casual place, though, not really well-suited for dining in, so I recommend ordering takeout if you’re looking for a nicer dining experience. Also, they aren’t doing the weekend buffet anymore (I visited in August 2026) which was disappointing, but the food made up for it. The tahdig wasn’t crispy, but the ghormeh sabzi was incredible and the kebabs are juicy, flavorful and tasty. Be sure to try the Persian ice cream!“

“Just had holy land for lunch and it was the best meal I've eaten in as long as I can remember. I had the appetizer combo and it was perfection. Not only was it delicious and full of flavor, it was also beautifully plated. I wish I would have taken a picture before enjoying it fully. I usually get the gyro meat and hummus but decided to change it up today and take the gyro meat to go this time. If I lived closer I'd eat here everyday.“

“Stumbled across this food truck on 16th n Walnut. I’ve never really had food from a truck before but kiddo was hungry and I thought why not. I AM SO GLAD WE STOPPED!! Never did I think I could get a gyro better than the place we visit every time I go to Florida. It’s not cheap either down there. Managed to drive 15 mins home. I was stunned that our food was still HOT!! Not warm, not kind of warm. Even the fries were HOT! I can go get some and be home in 5 minutes and the fries are always cold. Not this time. They were extra but I would gladly pay for them again! There was enough to share them with 3 ppl. I’m the pic you can see I shared them with my son. To my surprise when I lifted my gyro out, there was even more underneath!! Also, these fries were not those skinny cheap looking ones. They weren’t crinkle nor steak but a cross between those two. And oh they were so good!! Making me want to order just fries now. My gyro was nice and tender. I ordered the beef and lamb. I did order extra tzatziki sauce. It was only a $1.00 because I assumed there would be enough. There’s never enough. Let’s just say I wasted a dollar lol. There was so much sauce, it made it messy to eat but NOT in a bad way. They didn’t try to fill it will vegetables to make it look bigger. It was the right amount of meat and veggies. I don’t know if I’m allowed to put the price. Let’s just say Ive bought a crappy hamburger for more than I paid for it. I could only eat half of it and was happy to eat the rest for lunch. They had other items on the menu if gyro or Greek isn’t your fancy. I got a cheeseburger for my child, ketchup only. They had all the fix’in if you wanted it. Gotta picky eater. I asked him how his sandwich was and he said one of the best he’s had. It wasn’t greasy which was good. And the price I paid for that!?!!! Again, you’d pay more at that crappy Mc place and get a smaller burger. I paid around $26 for both of us to eat. Now a days, that’s the price you pay for one to eat. I don’t know how it stayed hot on the drive home. They did wrap the gyro in foil and laid it on top of the fries. Maybe that’s how. They also used a styrofoam container. Not those clear plastic lid with black bottom ones. The burger was in a nice thick cardboard container too. So I think that’s how everything stayed like it just got off the cook top. I guess you can either drive around dow town to find them or go to their web site to see where they will be. I hope they don’t go further south because I definitely will eat at that truck again!!! (I only mentioned they had other food items if you don’t like greek food. I can not remember what else they had. I think chicken, wraps or course burgers. I wanted to say that I gave my picky eater a good size piece of lamb. I asked “well?” He said it was really good!! ). I don’t think you’d be disappointed in the food nor prices).“

“I absolutely love Papu’s! The food is always made fresh to order & the quality & pricing can not be beat! The owner Khalid & his staff are amazing!“

“Wonderful people, they make you feel so welcome. They made great recommendations and the food was delicious. Check them out. We will definitely be back.“

“Great food, great service. It’s home made food. I recommend this place . Excellent !!!“
