“4.25 This restaurant is situated in a rather "has-been" strip mall at the corner of Alexis and Monroe, technically in Sylvania but don't picture it on Main Street in Sylvania. On the positive side, however, there is plenty of easy parking as many businesses in this strip mall are no longer open. There is a laser tag/game type of business still remaining as well as a Bingo Hall. This elegant restaurant just doesn't seem to fit in this location, but wanted to try it based on so many positive reviews. Upon entering the restaurant, it is very pleasant, sophisticated, and clean, with hardwood floors and appropriate decor. For seating, there is a choice of booths or tables. I was there on a Friday night and there was no need for a reservation, though many tables and booths were taken. On a Friday night, I was surprised that the restaurant is only open until 8pm. I would say that the clientele is mostly a mature crowd. Now I was there too, so just saying it's not a late night establishment. However, it's a very pleasant and comfortable place to enjoy a delicious Syrian/Mediterranean dinner. We each started off with a margarita, which was nothing to complain about nor rave about- except that the price was very reasonable ($5/drink). Our server, one of the daughters of the original owners, was very pleasant and attentive. In addition, she offered honest opinions when asked about entrees. I inquired about the Chicken Shawarma or Tawook and ended up ordering the Picnic Chicken based on her recommendation. She definitely knew the best selections and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. My friend knew exactly what she wanted and our server didn't attempt to change her mind. My friend's entree came with a salad (not sure why mine didn't) and it looked fine though not amazing. She didn't finish it and chose not to take it home with her leftovers. I ordered a small side of hummus, which was very good. However, the hummus came in its own bowl without extra pita bread- though complimentary pita and butter packets were served in a plastic baggie upon being seated. I think the presentation could have been better- maybe putting it in a basket or even on a plate, but the pita itself was very light and delicious. The hummus was creamy and likewise delicious. Loved my picnic chicken, which came with a choice of steak fries or rice with green beans. I opted for the latter and found that it perfectly accompanied my meal. It also came with a delicious side of garlic sauce, which was great with my meal though I still taste it in my mouth hours later! My friend also commented on how delicious the rice was, though I'm not sure if garlic sauce was part of her beef kebab meal. Overall, I definitely recommend this restaurant based upon its food and value for your money. I would also recommend carryout. The only reason I deducted a 3/4 star is because it didn't feel like a 5-star dining experience. The food was excellent and I would definitely return, but I didn't have a special "dining out" feeling based on the location of the restaurant and it lacked a certain energy that you might feel in a restaurant that is open later and is more bustling on a Friday night. However, it is a very nice ambiance in which to converse. My friend and I had a delicious meal and an enjoyable experience that I highly recommend! Also looking forward to leftovers tomorrow thanks to the generous portions!“
“I've been looking for the perfect gyro since the late eighties and I finally found it!!!!!!!! I'm serious... I always had a complaint about every gyro I've tried until now. It had REAL gyro meat and the perfect cucumber sauce with NO carrots! My only complaint is that I had to ask for feta . If you want a perfect gyro ASK for feta. It changes everything“

“Today I took my Mother with me to grab lunch... We went to Zane's in Lambertville on Secor. I could not be more grateful for not only the AMAZING food, but the feeling that you get simply walking in the door... Upon entering we were greeted by staff with a warm and inviting presence, one that is only rivaled by a return home. After intellectual and informatative conversation (and a sample of the proteins) we made our choices. The knowledge and enjoyment of everyone there could not only be felt, but tasted as well. Before leaving we were able to sample the Chai tea and left feeling refreshed from the experience and eager to return again.Ps.. if you are contemplating getting the Chai Tea, do yourself a favor and grab some before leaving. You'll be happy you did later.Kid-friendliness: Family feeling and amazing place. Will be bringing my nephews here soon“
“Had a large group dinner. The food I ordered was ok, not great. The fries and rice were excellent and hummus was good as well. But my shish kabob was chewy and a little overcooked. I would most likely try something different next time. Others at the table enjoyed lamb chops, lobster linguine, and meat rolled with ham and something else, which I can't remember the proper name for. So all, in all it was good and they accommodated all of us. Recommend for sure.“
“My dad and I had the best meal in as long as we can remember. We had lettuce wraps, Tuboui, and split the Cabob dinner. Still could not eat it all and need to take home. At the end the Turkish coffee was soo good and rich in taste. Best coffee.“
“Man oh man! This place is a 10 Star ⭐️The food is legit as close to mom’s home cooking than anywhere else. The hummus is heaven sent, the best I have ever had. The fresh bread is soft and fluffy. The food has so much flavor! The tabouli was okay too. The beef shawarma sandwich was delicious. The beef grape leaves, come on, insane how they melt in your mouth. The grapes are second to Moms home made recipe. No doubt the best true Arab restaurant I’ve visited. The baklava and Jordan Almonds are on point. I bought the Turkish coffee to go. Wooooooo!“
“Best hummus in the mutha? city hands down! Add grilled chicken on top of dat daddy and leave.. on ma momma you gone thank me later.. portions will feed a small village.. prices fair… BUT DONT TIP , The Employees don’t get the tip the establishment do.. that’s some Diabolical mess! Other than that the food so good and the service so coo I gotta drop em five. Yaw be blessed #SevenTheRev“
“Great food and always great service. The mixed meat salad with the Greek dressing has to be the best hands down in Toledo area. The chicken is good and the house made blue cheese is the best blue cheese I've ever had in my life and I use to hate it until I tried it from here. I will always be a loyal customer.“
“Went today. For whatever reason, I hadn't been there in years. The physical plant could use a refresh, but the food's still very good. I remain surprised that such a good place exists on a moribund campus of a largely commuter school. I've always liked their veggie delight wrap (one of only two or three places in town with that offering), and my wife was very pleased with the fay salad (good, seasoned chicken; fresh, crisp lettuce). All told, a good place, esp. if you're on or near campus.“
“The staff is here is so friendly and helpful. They've been warm and welcoming to my son when he's been there without me and have been accepting of my food allergy questions, making me feel comfortable. The food is fantastic, I mean, MY son keeps wanting to go back there and he's kinda hard to please ?Dietary restrictions: They do have wheat free options“
“We picked up an order for a delivery. Zane gave us a small salad with many different ingredient. It was heaven in a to go box. I could not stop eating it. I am not a squash fan, but that was delightful. Don't stop doing what you are doing.“
