“Originally thought I was having Greek food but quickly learned I was having Syrian food. This is my first time having Syrian food and by far the best. I had a very simple meal I got the chicken salad and the grape leaves. Everything was so fresh and the flavors are so vibrant and very citrus forward which I love. I'm so excited to go back and try some of their more dishes. This is a great place to stop by have a quick bite to eat for lunch or dinner. As someone who is on the go a lot I'm really happy this is close to my work so I'll be coming here more often. The 2 gentle men that were there are very kind . Thank you !”

“I’d like to give a shout out to a local businesses where I had an absolutely delicious meal. I was looking for something new & different in the Cranston area close to Garden City that wasn’t the same old monotonous fare that I’m used to. I stopped in for lunch on Thursday as I had an appointment on Reservoir Ave & again for dinner on Sunday after I picked up a cake at Antonio's Bakery. I’d like to start out by saying, I’m half Italian on my Dad’s side (Neapolitan, from the Avelino region, & Sicilian, specifically from Messina) & a quarter Armenian on my Mom’s side (ancient Armenia which is modern day Turkey)…so therefore I’m extremely fussy about my Italian, Armenian, Mediterranean, & Middle Eastern cuisine; my Grandma (Neapolitan) & Grandma (Armenian) were outstanding chef’s in their respective kitchens, & I was outrageously spoiled as a child & very rarely ate out, I had the best of the best~those skills were certainly not passed down nor inherited by me-scrambled eggs in the microwave anyone. With that being said… The owner (who is from Syria, so you know you’re getting an authentic product) & his team provided great customer service, very attentive & patient, knowledgeable about the food they’re serving & able to explain the flavor profile of each item. The restaurant is pretty well taken care of & clean. They encouraged me to try the shawarma, I’m glad I listened, I wasn’t disappointed…now I’m obsessed. I ordered the grape leaves, hummus, & chicken gyro. The grape leaves and the tzatziki were okay, I was expecting a tangy, lemony flavor with the grape leaves along with a more traditional look as well as flavor to the tzatziki, however the hummus & chicken gyro were very good. The hummus was creamy & the gyro was light, airy, & mild…it felt like I was eating healthy. The owner provided a free sample of their falafel…which I had at another establishment years ago & didn’t like…when I returned on Sunday I ordered that along with the chicken gyro, & the owner gave me a free paklava dessert-to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed it as I’ve found others hit or miss & off putting. Needless to say, I had an amazing experience & I’ll definitely be a repeat customer for sure when I’m in town.”

“I would like to share an experience I recently had at Christy’s liquors in Cranston. In a world where there is so many youths drinking underage it was great to see a group of young adults carded and refused alcohol at this liquor store. It was apparent to me that the staff are extremely cautious when selling alcohol. In addition, I am in a wheelchair and was so appreciative of the customer service and help I received getting to my car. The prices were great! I would highly recommend Christy’s to anyone.”
“Just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who helped my mom this past Saturday night, if it weren't for everyones quick response I'm not sure if my mom would be home today making a full recovery. It's a blessing she was with my niece and at the right place for something like that to happen. Once she is back to herself and off restrictions I'm sure she will be back for dinner to Thank you all in person!! Very grateful! Thank you again!”
“Very disappointed they no longer have a liquor license. The food was delicious the waiter was great, however when I looked up at the ceiling fans i was horrified! All 3 fan are covered with a thick layer of dust some accumulation actually hand down from the blades! please get up there and clean those blades!!!”
“I can’t make this up - this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. I can’t stop thinking about the XL cheese pizza I ordered last week. I’m scared to write a review because then the whole world will find out and it won’t be a hidden gem anymore! Best pie of my life. This place is awesome. 10/10”
“super fresh, fast and hot (temp) for pick up order. they say 20 minutes and are very timely! delicious food in which whatever is ordered, one bite compliments the next. Hyderabadi Chicken Curry and the Garlic Naan are my go-to, and it's always perfect here. ..NEVER disappoints! As-is, the spicyness is great and nice curry flavor. ill be getting it spicier next time, however. The potato/pea samosas with mint chutney and sweet tamarind molé-like dipping sauce is exquisite, I might add! I'm looking forward to trying new items in my next order!”
“This place is great. Been going here for years and service is amazing and food is always fresh. They’ve become very popular over the years so the wait time is a little bit longer but absolutely worth it!!”

“As a board member of our PTG I’ve used Cafe International twice now to cater breakfast for the teachers at Stadium School in Cranston. The owner was very helpful with suggestions on what to order, the food is always fresh and so delicious. The cinnamon sugar bagel and iced spiced chai is a personal favourite. Prices are reasonable and ordering and pickup is smooth. Thank you, we will be back in the spring for Teacher Appreciation week!”
“Amedeo Restaurant & Lounge in Cranston is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and top-notch service. A big shout-out to Isabella, who was absolutely outstanding—she was running around taking care of multiple tables, yet always kept a smile on her face. She made sure we were well taken care of the entire time, and it was clear she genuinely cares about her guests. Joe was equally fantastic, always ready to lend a hand and keeping a watchful eye to make sure everyone was happy. When Amedeo himself walked in, it was no surprise to see him being his usual professional and kind self, greeting guests and ensuring that the atmosphere was nothing short of perfect. The entire experience was warm, welcoming, and filled with positive energy. If you’re looking for a restaurant with amazing food, friendly staff, and a truly inviting atmosphere, look no further than Amedeo’s. Highly recommend—this place is a must-try! Thank you to Isabella, Joe, and Amedeo for making our night so special.”
“Best crab rangoons I’ve ever had! Sushi was phenomenal and the strawberry mint refresher was amazing!”
“atmosphere was cute... service great. food was subpar. paid $60 for a steak sandwich that looked & tasted like a TV dinner, appetizer that tasted like canned chicken soup, and fries that were definitely under the heater for too long”

“Just had another delicious meal at Minh Hai. The food is fresh and absolutely wonderful -- worth waiting for! Recommend the vermicilli bowl, and the seasoned rice plates -- beef and pork are both to die for. Another favorite is the tofu and eggplant dish. Thank you!”
“Sundaes has always been my favorite ice cream shop. Last year I developed an allergy to tree nuts. It is severe. Out of all of the places I have been to eat Sundaes Cranston has gone above and beyond to ensure no exposure to tree nuts. The staff is pleasant and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the training that these employees have been given. Thank you so much. I love still being able to enjoy my favorite ice cream.”
“Stopped by last night and had dinner at the bar. incredible pork chop entree, great drinks, top notch service and wonderful ambiance. I'll definitely be back next week for more excellent dining.”
“I drive by almost everyday & today as I was driving home from work I stopped in. Can I just tell you what a wonderful experience I had? The customer service was amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by their selections & when I viewed their pies, to my surprise they had a strawberry shortcake that was breathtaking by the appearance alone. “THAT’S THE ONE!” Those were my words! After dinner my mom, my boyfriend & me sat to have a serving each. The mmmm hmmmssss were the only words we were able to UDDER… lol! Hands down great quality & delicious! I promise you my family & I will return. Thank you for the love you put into your creations. It’s remarkable. 💜”

“Shoutout to Latte Love Coffee House in Cranston on Comstock Parkway. I stopped in today for a professional meeting and had a great experience. It was easy to get to, not far off the highway, and parking was available, which made everything convenient right from the start. There was a healthy line when I arrived, which is always a good sign, but there was still plenty of seating. The atmosphere was quiet, clean, and comfortable, which made it a great setting for a good conversation and productive meeting. The coffee was good, the bathrooms were clean, and the whole place felt welcoming and well run. I always appreciate supporting local businesses that are doing things the right way and creating an environment where people can gather, connect, and enjoy a quality experience. Well done, Latte Love Coffee House. #LatteLoveCoffeeHouse #CranstonRI #SupportLocal #CoffeeShop #RhodeIsland #ShopLocal”
“A wonderful and chill spot for drinks! Usually it’s a very quiet mellow vibe which is perfect for conversation one-on-one or a small group. My favorite drink is the mezcal old fashioned , and they also have an impressive selection of whiskeys and other spirits and great beer list as well. Nice to have a gem like this in Cranston! 🍻🥃🍸”

“This place is specialized in Vietnamese, Japanese, and Thai cuisine. However the lemongrass marinated tofu with veg spring rolls were equally tasted good. A really nice ambiance along with good service too.”
“Went there last Friday As usual everything was excellent We had the dinner special you cannot beat it for the price and the martiniAnd wine at $5 a glass It's a must try”
“I’d heard really good things about PJ’s Pub, especially the wings, so I was excited to finally give them a try. I went with the Nashville Hot wings and, unfortunately, they weren’t what I was expecting. There was no heat at all. The flavor was more smoky with a little sweetness to it, but definitely not what I’d consider Nashville hot.
The wings’ texture were good, though, and the salt & vinegar fries were really good. They had plenty of seasoning and were probably my favorite part of the meal.
PJ’s has a huge selection of wing flavors, so I’m not writing them off after one visit. I’ll definitely try a different flavor next time and see if I can find one that hits the mark.”
“Se buon sangue non mente, sarà un Bar Eccezzionale. In Bocca al Lupo Vincenzo & Ciao Joe ;-)”
“I went for open mic night and was not disappointed! Had never been but driven by, and the place always looks full. Staff was pleasant, manged crowd well, and they had food in the grill, outdoor seating, nice lights, and great local comedians to entertain.”

12/22/24 @Ness serviced us and did a great job! The food was awesome and plentiful! Thank you!”

“I just don't understand why they ask me what sauce I want and then not put any sauce in the bag. This has been happening for years now. It's not just this location, but this is the one I typically go to. Not a big deal, I don't go often, but it's so weird to me.”

“Consistently the best coffee in Cranston. It never tastes watered down. Its specialty drinks are ridiculously good. You should try it. You deserve good coffee. They also DON’T make your espresso directly into a plastic cup like most places do. Honestly do I have to say more?”
“I come to this CAVA for lunch all the time, and they’re always great! The staff is super friendly, efficient, and welcoming. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and tastes great every time. The restaurant is also always clean and well-kept. I really appreciate how consistent they are—it’s definitely one of my favorite lunch spots in Cranston!”
“Ordered for first time using instacart tonight. Been wanting to try it for a long time. Ordered the hot honey, pepperoni, basil, tomato sauce and ricotta. I left off the hot honey...wasn't ready for that. It was delicious. I am a new patron! Crust is crisp and tight, toppings were fresh, ricotta was creamy. I'll give it a 9.5. Only note was it was not kept hot and I ordered it well done and it was regular done...2 minor blips.”
“Zuliana was fantastic! Amazing service and attention to customer likes/dislikes and asked for a specific drink tailored towards a choclate/coconut (mounds) martini with tequila and created a drink that MUST be added to the menu!!! It was AMAZING!!! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this establishment!”
“Imperial Dynasty has just become my favorite Chinese restaurant in Rhode Island! Everything (and I mean everything) was exceptionally good.
We got wonton soup & miso soup, the Appetizer 2 (which comes with beef teriyaki, chicken wings, boneless spareribs, fantail shrimp & krab rangoon), beef egg foo young, and sweet & sour chicken. We even got to try their house-made ice cream. So light, full of flavor and topped with fresh made whipped cream.
You can taste all the different flavors, and that made a big difference (especially in the egg foo young, which you do taste the vegetables and seasoning.) The beef teriyaki was flavorful & very tender - the soup was tasty as well. The krab rangoon are filled and fried to order
Everything is made from scratch which you can see & taste in the final product. We loved everything we had & we will definitely come back!
Sophia & her staff are to be commended for a job well done. Thank you for a DE-LICIOUS meal.”
“Always a great time with excellent service. Went today and the food was phenomenal. Such a great place I great staff”
