Middle Eastern Restaurants in Kansas City, MO

“This place is consistently great! The same woman is there to take out order with welcoming kindness and a smile. The food is wonderful! It can be quite crowded because it’s no secret how great it is. This is one of my favorite places to eat when I’m in the mood for Mediterranean style food. I love the market just outside as well.“

“Baba's Pantry is an absolute gem. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Kansas City who wants to experience something exceptional beyond the city's famous BBQ. My personal favorite was the cinnamon roll—it was incredible—but everything else I tried was equally delicious. The host was incredibly warm and hospitable, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and the restaurant had a lively, vibrant energy. It was truly a pleasure to dine there, and I'll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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!“
