Middle Eastern Restaurants near Pikesville, MD

“I'm not sure who needs to know this but they will put your hot food on top of a fresh salad and make all the lettuce soggy. I'm not sure who's the brains in the operation but that's not it. Please package the hot meat SEPARATELY from cold salad. Not thinking. Also the last few times I've ordered, I've ordered hummus and they don't put it in the bag. Maybe when y'all are worried about getting the food out fast y'all can at least double check to make sure everything is in the order. Service is just thoughtless.“

“Ordered two different 'pick your pasta' meals and while the price point, quantity of food, and service were great, the food could have been better. The tomato sauce was oddly spicy, which wasn't ideal for my child, and the meat sauce was all meat and very little sauce. Usually we really enjoy the food and will stick to the creamy pesto and Alfredo sauces in the future.“

“Celebrated our anniversary here tonight and everything was just right - from the service to the meal to the atmosphere. Wonderful staff, creative and exciting menu options and lovely decor. Really made our night perfect :)“

If your looking to great catering this is the place not only where they responsive but also quick with their delivery!! Thank you again!!“

“So grateful this place exists. I've been longing to get oil and zaatar from Palestine and don't have a safe porch for deliveries. So excited for the falafel and molokhia and dates! And excited for the quick meal koshary, too. Making this a regular grocery stop for sure. الحمد لله“

“Amazing food! Really good service, too.“

“We loved the food. It's worth driving upto 40 mins from across the state line from PA for us. We thought we had missed an order and called in, they were kind enough to offer a refund but turns out I just didnt carry all bags in from the car inside the house. Good people and great food.“

“The delicious lamb kebab was the clear winner in our recent order from Moby Dick House of Kabob. However, the meal was let down by the sides: the falafel was notably dry, the rice was also unfortunately dry and bland, and the salad appeared to be an afterthought, featuring large, unappealing leaves. While the kebab was a definite hit, they should definitely consider improving the moisture of the falafel, enhancing the flavor of the rice, and paying more attention to the freshness and presentation of the salad to elevate the overall takeout experience.“

“We ordered a takeaway and were pleasantly surprised. The pita bread was soft and fresh, perfect for scooping up the flavorful sides. The bhindi curry and salta had a nice balance—mildly spiced with a touch of sweetness and a rich tomato base. The hummus was the highlight—incredibly creamy with a lovely olive oil aroma. They also included a spicy green paste to add on top, which gave a nice kick without overpowering the dish.“

“Excellent food, fresh, not a huge amount.“

“Amazing falafel. Don’t sleep on the mint lemonade. Friendly staff. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options.“

“OMG to think we almost didn't get in! Without a reservation on a Saturday night only a manager with great customer service skills could have made it happen. Our first time at Villagio, but definitely not the last. Food is absolutely delicious. If you haven't tried it yet, you're really missing out.“

“This is my new favorite place to eat in Ellicott City! First of all the food is incredible. The garlic sauce we ordered as an appetizer alone would have satisfied me but the food just keep getting better. So fresh and so flavorful!! The owner introduced himself and made us feel so welcome. Their story is incredible! The ambiance was absolutely lovely. They had live musicians who were extremely talented and added a tone that was fun and enjoyable but not at all overwhelming or too loud. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend enough! We will definitely be going back very soon!“

“Amazing Lunch at The Halal Guys!

I had a fantastic lunch at The Halal Guys. I ordered the chicken platter, chicken wings, and the baklava cheesecake, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and satisfying, and the desserts were the perfect sweet ending to the meal.

What really stood out was the exceptional service provided by Ahmed. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure my experience was enjoyable from start to finish.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for flavorful halal options with top-notch service! I’ll definitely be returning soon.“
