“Salah’s is amazing! I’m a big fan of the combo over rice-chicken and lamb over rice with salad and their special secret sauce. The portions are huge and the food is so fresh. The flavor is beyond amazing. No lack of flavor or spice here! Love the cardamom. It’s the kind of food that warms your soul.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FIVE-STAR EXPERIENCE — EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

We just hosted our holiday party here for the third year in a row, and once again they absolutely OVERDELIVERED. This place is in a league of its own.

Diana, the manager, is a superstar. She could not be any more accommodating — she went above and beyond in every way possible to make sure our event was flawless. The level of care, attention, and professionalism she brings is unmatched.

And Josh, our server… WOW. On point the entire night. He anticipated every need — mine and all of our guests. Water glasses were never empty, drinks were always refreshed, and anytime I had a question or even needed the temperature adjusted, he was right there with a smile and a solution.

Top-tier service, incredible staff, and a consistently exceptional experience.
We’ll be back again next year — no question.“

“I cannot say enough about the incredible food and how unbelievably fresh their fish is. From the moment you get there with their chickpea salad, which is phenomenal and then there’s tzatziki, which is also the best I’ve ever had you off perfectly. There’s never a time I don’t come home with leftovers. The staff is friendly And consistent. Unbelievably nice and I just love it here we eat here quite regularly because it is absolutely the best Greek food I’ve ever had. Tell Nick I want you. Love everyone that works there.“

“The Adana kebab and long brown kebab with brown rice and mixed appetizer on the side is super good. Tried mixed grill but no flavor in lamb chop. Sometimes they have menu items for one day only that’s very delicious but never see it again sadly.
The staff is usually very busy so don’t have the nicest attitude and wait time can be pretty long. If you go late even if there’s still time before closing they won’t let you sit and eat.
Make sure you check and get the right rice packed, sometimes they’re confused and give you wrong one.“

“I lived in CI and stumbled upon this place years and years ago probably going on 20 years. I moved to Delaware and I can honestly say I have withdrawal symptoms.\nTheir food is so fresh, delicious and I wish they’d open a restaurant here in Wilmington.\nWhat’s quite funny is we have a pretty large Greek community here and their food isn’t half as good as Med Express.\nI would give them much more stars because they are that good.\nThe service has been fast even when busy which is most Fridays and Saturdays. Friendly staff always courteous and professional.\nMy favorite is the eggplant Greco so good.\nLove the Greek salad always fresh\nHummus delicious \nI could go on and on. Really!“
