“A very cozy, chic and family-run restaurant with a great view of the lake. The food tastes delicious and the dishes are very nicely prepared. The service is very warm, committed and full of competence. The menu is full of traditional delicious Turkish dishes. I'll definitely be back?“
“A wonderful dining experience!The owner and staff go above and beyond! So friendly and gracious! The amazingly delicious food is prepared and served so quickly! Middle Eastern food at its’ very best!We will dine here every time we are in Rochester! We were greeted at our table by the Chef/Owner who brought us complimentary tea and dessert! Easily 5 stars for the food, service & atmosphere at the Babylon Restaurant!“
“Stopped by here on the way home from URMC. I ordered the gyro pita for takeoutIt was very tasty and more authentic than other restaurants that serve Mediterranean food. i recommend asking for the tzastiki sauce on the side since pita sandwich was a little messy.I got my order in less than 10 minutes and the price was reasonable. They have an extensive menu of Mediterranean and Syrian cuisine. Parking lot is small but food is worth it. Counter service and food is brought to your table if you are dining in. I will return.“
“We "ate in" at this small but bustling restaurant. it appears that many of the orders were to-go. The food was freshly prepared and quickly delivered To our table, the three men behind the counter were extremely busy, preparing food and taking orders. My husband had the vegetarian platter and I had the dolma platter both served with huge fluffy pita bread. The pita bread is one of the best I've had. my Dolma platter, came with a small Greek salad, and a little scoop of hummus. The dolma were very good as they were spiced. There was a drink case, but not much of a variety of drinks. However, they did have some exotic ones. There was also baklava and takeout containers. I think they should use reusable tableware when you're dining in instead of a packet of small plastic utensils, so I think they are really a to go operation. The food was served on dinner plates so they must have a way of washing things. This is a good stop for a quick meal or a takeout.“
“Levantine's is by far my favorite place to grab something to eat in the area. The food is always fantastic and the amount you get is generous. Though I always pick up my meals to go, the atmosphere inside the cafe itself is comfortable and clean. I have never been disappointed with the service, the quality, or the portions here. It's my favorite!“
“Went on a little date after learning about Turkish coffee and finding this spot close to home. Super cute cafe with beautiful desserts. The workers were friendly and explained all the pastries to us AND just sampled us some of their favorites..Check it out for sure. I expected to spend way more than our total. Didn't get menu food but it looked great and we will soon.“
“We placed a large order for my birthday. Everything was delicious. The iskender kebap and beyti kebap were fantastic and the manti was my personal favorite. The yogurt dill sauce was super flavorful. Kunufe was so tasty. I can't wait to try more things from the menu.“
“My wife and I went there on a friend's recommendation. She had a Greek salad with chicken shawarma and I had a Greek salad with beef shawarma. I'll admit here that we had to ask what shawarma was. We were trying something new and it was delicious!“
“Met up with friends for lunch today and our server, Chris, was outstanding!! The food is always top-notch and we love the atmosphere here! We already scheduled our next lunch at Jines on 4/7/24, and Chris hopefully will be our server again!! Did I mention he’s was outstanding??!!“
“Cedar is a comfortable, clean and cheerful restaurant with excellent food and (hands down) the best Gyro in Rochester - perhaps even the nation. Whenever back in town from Syracuse, Cedar's perfect location, combined with my taste buds, makes a return visit unavoidable. I'm jonesing for a Cedar gyro right now, for crying out loud....“
“Great authentic food, a wide selection, large portion sizes, reasonable prices and excellent service in a cozy atmosphere. If you finished your meal and you didn't bring some home for leftovers well, you probably ate too much! What more could you ask for?“
“Really chunky pieces of meat that were well-seasoned and tasted great with the hummus. However, some of the pieces tasted/felt a bit undercooked in the middle despite the order taking awhile to be completed. The portions were decently sized.“
“Steve's Original in Penfield is Super Tops. A great menu which is mouth watering, and hard to choose from so many delicious entrees.Then the service is 5* our waitress was very sweet and charming and a hostess quality.Stop in and say, 'Stephanie and Jerry sent me. You won't be disappointed, and may not finish your entree.“
“Family run and they re proud of their food. Consilstency. quality and freshness rule.New Staff (servers) know the menu, are friendly and down to earth. Nice place to converse in. No loud music.Authentic Mediteranian Middle-Eastern dishes with a Lebanese influence.“
“I am embarrassed to say that I have never been in pita pit and they have been here in Rochester forever. I was pleasantly surprised to see such a nice CLEAN store! (Henrietta location) Everything shines in there! We recently ate inside at Chipotle nearby and NEVER AGAIN it was filthy. The food here is fresh and delicious and the service was speedy and friendly. Will be coming here a lot more ! Well done!“
“Very nice people. GREAT homemade food! The Sautéed spinach may not seem very exciting, but it’s absolutely delicious. Connected next door is a coffee shop by the same owners and they have amazing looking homemade pastries, cookies, baklava, cake and tiramisu ?. It’s obvious that the owners put their heart and soul into this “
“If you are looking for a refreshing and healthy cheap meal. Here is where you want to be. Trash the fast food industry for this delight. Service is super fast, food fresh, feels straight out of the grill. We tried the kebab’s meal beef, chicken and lamb. And gotta say hands down the best lamb experience I ever had before, beef in point very tender, chicken had great flavor. Meal is very fulfilling and tasty. 10/10 for sure will make it one of my favorite spots in town.“
“To me, this restaurant is a hidden gem. I did have a challenge finding it. But once I found it, had a handcrafted cocktail and the pork chop special, I knew it was the place for me. Everyone was very nice. I did not have a reservation so I sat at the bar. To some it might be strange to have a pork chop at a restaurant, but it was delicious and awesome. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The whole experience was great. I will be going back.“
