Terrible terrible service. My uncle and I literally got hung up on. Tried to order 60 dollars worth of food and could not order. This place is a joke

A restaurant where you're treated like you're bothering their relax time, they are way overpriced for what you get in return. Basically everything you don't want to deal with. I'm pretty sure the only reason they are afloat is lack of options after 7pm and the college near by. They need classes in customer service badly

Price tooo high according to the quantity

Of business. It's been a while since I've been a customer. I typically buy the same items, but they always charge me a different price. You cannot express your complaints to them because they are unable to speak English.

Made a pit stop here just to grab a bite as it was open late night. $25 for a rice platter is too expensive. And the quantity is you get for that too less. And I can safely say it’s the worst Shawarma I ever ate. Gyro plate was okay.

I care about the food. It's fantastic. Prices are higher than similar food in other cities, atmosphere is lacking.
If you want to eat good food in Lewiston, go here.
Went once when it was very hot outside. Inside was like an oven and I don't live in town so I eat there. Now I avoid if it's very hot outside.
I absolutely love the food, it's very tasty. I've been coming here since it forst opened, when the prices were worth what I was paying for. Now, I'm paying double the price for a chicken gyro plate, once was 12.99 now 24.99 and I'm not getting any thing extra and the plate size has decreased. At this rate how will they be able to stay open with the amount they are charging customers for the food. Again. I love the food, I just can't stand paying over a hundred dollars for four people to eat out, it's crazy. I added a Pic of the plate size. If it is fitting for the cost then you all decide if my review is credible. I checked the prices against the Portland location......I feel we're getting overcharged here in Lewiston. I noticed the owner picks what reviews to respond to. But has yet to respond to the overpricing of their food.

So I was trying to find something quick for the night and thought why not pick up some fried chicken. I walk in and immediately have to wait because the front counter person was engaged with conversation with another guest, after they finished they didn't even start to take my order. I already saw that they didn't have chicken ready that I wanted and was willing to wait for it. I asked the guy can I make an order for chicken and he asks what in particular I wanted. When I told him, another guy starts speaking in their language, basically telling me that they weren't going to cook anymore chicken and I had to take what they had available. Get real ! Can't understand how this restaurant still can afford to stay open any longer. They have went from a go to place to eat to I BETTER STAY FAR AWAY FROM. Customer service these days is a joke. Someone please rescue these guys
Parking: There is absolutely no parking available most times. Their location is in to close to apartment buildings so I just walk from my location to where they are

chicken was dried out and gross and not what I ask for will not be back
Before this CFC opened in Lewiston, I would travel to Portland to get CFC. I was so excited that a CFC was going to be local to me. The Portland restaurant set high standards that the Lewiston CFC doesn't meet.
Honestly where do I start? The service is poor. People who work there are not kind nor friendly. I have never seen anyone who works there smile. They talk amongst theirselves and laugh after my boyfriend or I ask why the prices have changed so drastically. Making us feel like they are talking about us. A chicken Gyro plate used to be around 12.99 and now it's 24.99. Smaller containers, less meat. In the past I have found hair in my food, I have found rotten lettuce in my food. They don't even serve naan bread with their meals like the Portland CFC does. When you call to dispute something wrong with your order, they tell you the next time you come in they will give you additional chicken yet they dont take your name or know who you are so when you do go in the next time, they dont know anything about someone saying they will give you additional chicken with your order.
The atmosphere is awful. The tables, counters, and windows are always filthy. I would never eat there. The glass front door has been broken and boarded up for a while. A bunch of homeless people and people who I assume are on serious drugs are always running in and out of there and hanging out front of the establishment. I can think of 3 occasions where I have ordered food and there are customers there being loud and obnoxious carrying guns. Wheather or not they have a license to carry I don't know and highly doubt that they do but the atmosphere always feels unsafe and sketchy. I feel like the people who work their are bias. If you are not Muslim, you do not get taken care of. I feel like they give better service to Muslims and people of their nationality. From experience, they don't treat white females well, or African American males well.
Their food is pretty good but definitely not worth the price, especially now a days. I usually go there for fried chicken. I am more than happy to take the chicken that they have in the warmer but most times there isn't any breast, legs, or thighs. I ask for them to please make more, they never do, leaving you to either have to take the few pieces of chicken they have or to leave.
Overall it's a horrible establishment and they should be ashamed how they run their business and inflate their prices. I spent $100 bucks for 4 chicken Gyro plates...never again! Going forward I will travel to Portland if I want CFC. At least they smile and are friendly, the restaurant is clean, you can take your family out to eat there, you get naan bread with your meal, and the prices are not ridiculous.
Parking: There is never parking available in front of this establishment. Most times people park on the sidewalk by the entrance completely blocking the sidewalk.
Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible.
