heartbroken, hope you guys reopen!! you are already missed
Been wanting to try this restaurant as it’s been in town for years but unfortunately cannot recommend. Upon arriving for lunch the restaurant was very uninviting - dark, lights off, empty, heavy air, and had a strange smell. The pita tasted store bought and was dense, dry, and stale. I asked for no pickles or tomato’s in my chicken gyro but it was still included. The baklava was falling apart and the mint lemonade had a strange vitamin taste. They said their system was down to pay with credit card and asked if I had cash (this was not communicated upfront). Since I did not have cash I was instructed to pay through Zelle which I have never had happen at any establishment before unless I ate at a food truck which I thought was strange. Would not return or recommend.

Food was phenomenal! We had the hummus , falafel, and mixed meat platter. Everything was seasoned so well and had great flavor. The adorable old lady that runs this place checked on us throughout and it felt so welcoming like we were at her own dinner table. Very enjoyable date night! Thank you so much!

Gabriella helped cater a lunch for me, and let me tell you, everyone loved all the dishes! Fed 30 people and was given nothing but compliments about the food and presentation of the delivery. Whether it's dining in or getting take-out/delivery, I highly recommend Gabriella's, you will not be disappointed. Will definitely be ordering more in the future!

By far one of the best Lebanese restaurant I’ve ever tried. The food is authentic; the host is very pleasant, and accommodating.
In short outstanding food, hospitality and customer service.

Alright, today I was craving a Kunafa and I saw this place on Google. I walked in after a man and his son walk in. There was a lady sitting down on her computer as if this was an accountant’s office and not a restaurant. She asks what the man and the son want - they seem to be regular customers - and demands cash since according to her the man’s order was less than 20. And I keep looking at her - standing there - she completely ignores me. I walked to the front where the menus are - look at the menu - then sat down waiting since she seemed like she was busy on that computer. No questions asked, no good afternoon, no what would u like to order, no welcome. Nothing. I walked out after 10 min there. Worst ABSOLUTE worst customer service. I’ve never walked into a food place without having a person welcome me. As the new customer - i won’t be here pleading to be “served” or “asked” or “welcomed”

The own ers are amazing! The one woman that I always deal with in there, is so nice and so generous. I always get the lentil vegetable soup, which is incredible! They're falafel are amazing. I've had them in a pita and as an appetizer. Either way is amazing! The lentils with rice and caramelized onions are so good, the hummus is incredible as well! I've had the chicken shawarma and it is amazing! You can tell their food is homemade. So delicious, I really can't say enough good things about this place!

I’ve been coming here for a few years. It’s normally good food and service. Yesterday I placed a call in order like I usually do, either she didn’t understand me on the phone or forgot to put the order in, so I wait an additional 20 minutes after I get to the restaurant. After I get home, I realize my order is still not correct and I double check the menu prices, I was also overcharged for what I did order, and super overcharged for the food that I received. I normally have positive experiences here but yesterday I was not satisfied. I would say try it for yourself and decide if it’s your vibe. The food is normally good

Friend and I stopped in to have a late lunch, July 28th, 2024, it was later in the afternoon. Place was kind of dark, went to use the bathroom no paper towels, minor detail at this point sat down, got menus older ladies were there. They were very polite came to the table we ordered the food was just not up to par, I said to my friend forget about ordering the extra takeout to bring home to his wife, I hope we don’t get sick, later that day I’m the one who got sick, I wish I didn’t have to write this review. I’ve always had good things about this restaurant while we were there. There was some kind of electrical problems in the kitchen , we heard sparks and flash this our experience order the salad for the two of us split with feta cheese and it was supposed to be dressed with olive oil. It was not had to ask for olive oil. The feta cheese was like whipped. I have never had feta cheese like that before. Maybe it didn’t taste right the vegetables were it tomatoes, especially at this time of year strawberries still had their vines attached to a split cut strawberry on the plate just not good. We paid our bill we tipped we both shook our head and said we should’ve left when we got here. I will never go back to that but that’s just the way it was, sorry to have to write this type of review.
