Decided on a whim to give this place a try. It was okay. We had a burger and lamb gyro, both were average. There were absolutely zero diners in there besides us. The bathroom was smelly and dirty. The only menu was a torn up piece of paper on their counter. I paid in cash and was asked if I wanted the coin portion of my change. Very strange. Not the worst but wouldn’t visit again.

We came for lunch on a Sunday. From the start, it didn't go well. The restaurant was empty and the cashier was sitting at an open table talking on the phone. When we indicated we needed a minute to figure out our order, she continued to talk on the phone for a couple more minutes (which while we did need a couple minutes, it just didn't come off very professional). It took about 20-25 minutes for our order to be ready (chicken panini and falafel gyro). There was barely any drinks in the fridges. The bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in while. The whole vibe of the restaurant felt like they just opened and didn't have funds yet to properly decorate or theme the place, but we're pretty sure they're been open for years. When we finally got home to eat, the food was just fine, definitely not worth the wait. And halfway through his meal, my husband found multiple hairs in his fries (and he's bald). We wanted to like the place, but we will definitely not be returning or recommending Mojo's.

The one bright spot was the cashier was very nice. Only reason Service didn't get 1 star.

This kitchen lost its MoJo. Barren coolers, soda fountain out of order, no paper towels in the bathroom. I thought this place going out of business. Only other person to come in was dropping off McDonald’s. They had one torn up menu at the counter. I wish this place success and influx of MoJo from John

We ordered 2 gyro dinner platters and the brown rice with chicken meal and the food was excellent. The portions were huge and everything was very fresh and delicious! Almost no wait time, will definitely be going back!!

I ordered lunch takeout and walked in to pick it up. There was NOBODY eating there except the waitress. I asked to use the restroom and was horrified to see how filthy it was. Seriously, how hard is it to clean a bathroom? No excuse for it!Food was mediocre. I would not recommend this place at all.

I would suggest getting takeout rather than eating in. The food was okay. Not amazing but not bad.The woman at the counter was very sweet and attentive.

I sat down to eat here on a whim, just looking for some fuel after a nice day of sunny skies and 18 holes. The steak was almost inedible (ordered MR, came out MW.. tough as shoe leather, no seasoning) salad was fine, rice was too. For 20 bucks in today’s day and age, I should have figured the quality of the steak was not going to hit the mark. But you live and you learn!Food aside, the 1 star review is cemented most prominently by the behavior of a, seemingly, middle aged manager (gender hard to tell) who was harassing a fellow female, younger, teenage employee over some crazy vendetta (seemingly) that she had with the cook. The argument was in front of me and another customer and went on for 20 minutes as we were trying to our meals. From what I was able to gather, the young girl had an uncomfortable disagreement with the cook (nothing inappropriate, involving the usage of some to go containers and some attitude exchanged through some micro-expressions and verbal tone) but didn’t want to share the information with the middle aged manager. The manager then proceeded to pry, and when he/she didn’t get the explanation they wanted, evolved to threats involving “cutting the younger girl from the schedule for the entirety of next week” telling her “she’s likely to get fired if she doesn’t call the owner and tell him the situation, immediately” and created an ongoing scene with severe pressure and potential for public embarrassment (publicly, with myself and another customer in the store)I could tell the young girl was overwhelmed and couldn’t figure out how to stand up for herself against an older counter-part, one who threatened to use his/her power to punish the young girl if she couldn’t force her to make a complaint against the chef.The owner needs to get rid of this manager immediately, as I believe he/she threatens the ongoing image and continued/increasing customer support for the restaurant. My experience of this place was that of a total carnival.

Food was decent the service was horrible, place was empty and the girl still messed up the order I mean it’s not rocket science to take an order especially when it’s dead. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my enemy.

Ordered from here this evening ($120.00). Received my food, sat down with my family to eat, and realized we were missing our dessert. I called the door dasher who told me, they were told there was only the 2 bags that they dropped off. I called this place and spoke to what could only be a teenager with no customer service experience. The person on the phone said, "oh yea there is no teramasu left". To which I expressed my discontent of having to be the one to call them, I asked if I was charged and they replied "yes" (with a very long pause). After about 2 minutes of getting no where I asked for the boss. The person on the phone said, "the boss is not here but my manager is". Someone else gets on the phone and simply says hello (and another long pause). I said "did your employee explain", they said yes (another long pause). I asked if I had been refunded, to which iwas asked "is tht what you want". I asked if I hadn't called would it have been refunded? They said no. So I asked is there anything else that can be done for me? They didn't seem to understand and just said the other employee just refunded me and they hung up on me. Thats the service, I'll make my review of the food short. Its aweful, stay away.

Have been a customer since their opening. The food is always delicious. Some of our favorites are the Popeye Burgers, Chicken Marsala and Mojos Signature Biryani. Their homemade desserts are great also. The service is always professional.

Ordered 2 omelettes and boneless wings. It took like 45 minutes to get our food (they had 2 employees, 1 cook, 1 counter person). My small children even complained what was taking so long. Omelettes were ok but the boneless wings weren't so great. The breading tasted over fried. While we waited, we could hear them calling to tell people who ordered, they were out of things. I'm not sure I would recommend this place or order from here again...

I don’t think I’ve had worse food in a while. Lamb platter was dry and just not good, the hummus was chunky and honestly tasted a bit rotten, and my girlfriends smoothie also tasted a bit rotten.
