“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.”
“Best crab rangoons I’ve ever had! Sushi was phenomenal and the strawberry mint refresher was amazing!”
“Great experience as always. The staff is so friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend”

“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”

“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!”
“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!”
“If you haven’t been to Ichiban, you’re missing out! It’s an amazing restaurant, family run (husband and wife) and amazing atmosphere! The Ceviche is amazing, best I’ve ever had!”
“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”

“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.”
“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.”

“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.”

“Green Wok has been my happy place for over 2 years now! Their teriyaki beef strips are a party in my mouth - the beef is tender and juicy, and the teriyaki glaze is bursting with flavor. I pair it with their vegetable fried rice, which is always soft, fluffy and delicious! The service is friendly and always makes me feel like a valued customer. If you're looking for amazing vegan food that tastes fresh and is made with quality ingredients, then Green Wok is a must-try!”
“Gong Cha in the Providence and Cranston area is a boba tea shop that operates with the customization options the chain is known for. The space is clean and well kept, with a couple of tables and some board games available that give it a slightly more social feel than a purely grab and go setup.
The drink customization here is genuine rather than performative. Sugar levels and ice levels are both adjustable and the staff actually follow through on the specifications, which is not universally true at boba shops that advertise the same options. The wintermelon milk tea, taro with black boba and milk foam, brown sugar bubble tea, and the strawberry milk tea are all strong choices and represent what the kitchen does consistently well.
The boba pearls are cooked in house and the texture reflects that, with a chewiness that holds up through the drink. It reflects an average gong cha experience, and this location does it well.”

“Ever since I've been to the one atwells Ave few years back have been going back to have that Brooklyn pizza taste. I finally made it to the Cranston one and did not disappoint. Definitely need to try the pizza and other great items they have. Need to go more often when I can.”
“My go to for sushi you can’t beat the quality or price anywhere. You will also receive incredible service here, this is truly a hidden gem in Cranston, RI”
“The Beef Sliders had more high quality ground beef than a lot of places full sized burgers and came with a generous portion of seasoned fries. The Pastels were new to me and really good. The chef was out front when we arrived and was super friendly and you could tell the pride he takes in his excellent food.”

“The service was amazing. The was a bit dark, but after we opened the blinds we had plenty of light. However my steak was over cooked. They did fix it. However I did not like the fact that the vegetables were frozen and not fully cooked. Using chef mike,( microwave) doesn't really cook food.”
“This was my first time dining at Legal Sea Foods but it won't be my last! I was so happy that the way they breased their fried seafood was gluten free! It is very rare to find a restaurant that is celiac safe. The portions were also big. I had leftovers to bring home.”

“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.”

“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?”

“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.”
“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!”
“Located in the shell gas station on Plainfield Pike, you can find this little coffee shop. It’s not going be in comparison to a place like latte love, but when your in a rush, getting gas, or need something quickly but you are sick of Dunkin, this is a solid place to stop. I’ve been here a handful of times and the coffee and food never disappoint. I’m a big fan of their lattes, and I usually roll with a steak egg and cheese on a bagel. It’s not the best by any means, but most days I like it better than Dunkin.”
“Always a great time with excellent service. Went today and the food was phenomenal. Such a great place I great staff”
