I really loved this place but they keep messing up my order. I always get the Mezze with lamb but recently they’ve been messing up the protein and I don’t realize until I get home. Disappointing for spending almost $30 (including tip) on the meal. Last time I got falafel and today I’m not sure what kind of protein this is.

Superb meal! I had the Mezza with the new Lamb Merquez. EVERYTHING on this plate tasted awesome. The olives. The Almonds. The beets. The cauliflower (OMG). The hummus! The fries! ALL OF IT! I am getting hungry just thinking about it again.

Total price was $26 with tip. Ample food for the price too. Easy enough to share a bit too

The guy helping me was great too. Full of knowledge and really helped me decide what to get. I wish I caught his name!

Only feedback, there weren’t enough of the fries to eat the food…would recommend another 5 or so to fill it out.

Excellent all around! Middle Eastern bowl with braised lamb, aioli-harissa and toum sauces was amazing! Definitely Arabic delicious tasting cuisine!

Great food. It's in a food court location which was nice but not a real quiet setting. Good value.

Fresh and delicious. The chicken was very moist and flavorful.

Rebranded Palestinian food, and not even done well. They achieve the Bend trio of mediocrity; dry, bland, AND overpriced.

The Grove is extremely busy with upwards of 300 visitors during the busiest hours. It took 30 minutes to get an order for one. They were "out of chicken". The falafel pita wrap was mediocre at best. They didn't include fries in the wrap it was some sort of par-cooked potato wedge. That and the unseasoned tahini sauce made it quite unpleasant to eat. Overall quite bland. For $17, this is a borderline rip-off.

The bowl was beyond our expectations in quantity and flavor. Why do they even have additional sauces?!? The lamb was juicy, tender and delectable. The salad was fresh, the hummus smooth and the fries… oh man! You just can’t pass this up! So full from the lamb bowl for lunch I didn’t need dinner! Next time I’m in Bend, this is my lunch stop! Definitely worth the money.

The communal dining shared with other vendors was clean and hospitable, but loud. There is a water bottle filling station available and clean restrooms as well. How is this not a 5 star, those one star reviews must be lying or caught this place in a bad day because the employees were courteous and prompt in serving us.

The food is amazing! I really do miss the food truck at Midtown Yacht Club, the atmosphere and service were always great there. As much as I absolutely love the food I'm not the biggest fan of the chaos at the Grove, it's always so busy and it feels like a mall food court. But the food, is AMAZING. Always.

Very good food. I got a pita stuffed with an amalgam of the usual gyro/pita toppings, all the ingredients were tasty and seemed fresh and high quality. In particular, I enjoyed the various sauces that were present in ample quantity. My protein of choice was lamb kawarma, which I incorrectly assumed was similar to shawarma. It ended up being more of a stewed meat, sort of similar to pot roast. Not quite what I was expecting, but that's on me for assuming. I probably won't return because I don't live anywhere near there, but if I did I would get the chicken shawarma instead. The only thing the pita needed was a bit more crisp or crunch.

Overall: tasty food, nice lady working the counter, would recommend.

If you post business hours online, then actually stick to those hours! Don’t just close whenever the mood strikes you or you feel like it - it’s ridiculous! This place is supposed to be open until 8:30 (posted on their website) and I arrived at 7:35 and they were closed already. This is the second time this has occurred so this is a pattern. A total lack of respect for customers time, gas and efforts to get there. Do better and respect your customers!
