“Boy, are we glad we added this special stop to our road trip from the Boston, MA area because they sell gluten-free bagels... and they're delicious...plain or with everything (poppy, sesame, garlic etc.) They even have packaged gluten-free snack items! I bought a gluten-free brownie that was heavenly!! Karim couldn't have been nicer. When we come back to the area we will definitely stop here again! ;-) Thanks Karim!!“

“Shlomo's kindness and generosity is endless! Not only has he offered to participate in a PTO sponsored dine to donate today, but when our school staff ordered lunch to support, he refused payment and insisted the payment be donated to the PTO in full! He gets plenty of love and all is deserved! Thank you Shlomo and Gyro Grill for not only delicious food but for your continued acts of love in the Wayne community!“

“5 stars! Great drinks and they offer a happy hour !! Food was very good , with big selection and very reasonably priced.“

“We went for the first time last Sunday. All I can say is wow. From the wait staff to the kitchen staff to management, everyone was incredibly friendly, unbelievably accommodating when it came to food allergies (they came out to talk about everything in specific detail to make sure it was safe before it was cooked and served), and the food was absolutely delicious!! I would absolutely recommend trying Marakesh out if you haven't been. They will be more than happy to go over the menu and explain anything you might not recognize or need changed because of restrictions. You can also call ahead so it can be prepped ahead of time for you. I will definitely be back again!!“

“I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for the incredible Gearhart Law event! Everything was truly spectacular—from the exquisite food to the stunning decor. It was clear that no detail was overlooked, and your staff executed everything flawlessly. The bartenders and team went above and beyond, providing outstanding service that made the evening unforgettable. Thank you for such a remarkable experience!“

“Amazing dinner experience with my daughter!!!“

“Stopped here (while traveling on 287 (exit 45)) for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious! The staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered pizza and the godfather panini. Everything was fresh and super flavorful. Only complaint is that we live too far to visit more frequently. Will definitely be back again when we are in the area.“

“Always a great meal. The staff is great. We just keep going back. You gotta try it.“

“This is a delightful restaurant with fresh, exotic food. I will be back!“

“Great food all around, sat down and tried nearly everything off the menu and had no complaints, wings, burgers, and platters all were great and make sure to try the bbq sauce. Usually hate bbq sauce but theirs is quite unique and haven’t tasted something like it elsewhere to this day. Really friendly and chill atmosphere, good price point“

“The owners are super nice, the food is always amazing and the place has a warm quiet atmosphere. This is our go-to place. I love the prishmi paneer, the vegetarian manthi and the Mediterranean delight. My husband always loves the lamb shank or lamb kufta kebabs with the rice, carrots and raisins. Either way we always have to share the baba ganoush and their special desert. Great byob dinner date spot.“
