So sad to see they are temporarily closed. Best beef shawarma I've had since I was in Europe. Can't wait for them to return!

Excellent, fresh, delicious

Can not say enough good things about this restaurant! The food is authentic, flavorful, fresh , and delicious. My husband and I eat here at least once a week. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The employees and owner are very personable. Definitely worth a try, you won't be disappointed!!!

The food here is always fresh and authentic. They go the extra mile to ensure that what you order is perfect. I eat here 2 to 3 times a week and I couldn't be happier with the service and quality of food provided. Thank you so much Alani's!!!

great food and friendly service! The falafel wraps are fantastic

yummy falafel cute locally owned spot

If it's mediterranean food you're looking for, you'll find none better. My wife and I have visited Alanis at least half a dozen times and have never been disappointed. The food is amazing, the staff is great and the owner Mike is a warm, genuine guy who instantly makes you feel welcome, more like part of the family than just another customer. We've tried several different foods, some familiar to us and some new to us. The lamb and chicken kabobs are delicious. Their rice is really good as well. Their salads are really fresh and they have this garlic mayo that is a really tasty. Last night, we started with the grape leaf appetizer which was really good. I had the beef shawarma and my wife had the chicken shawarma and as usual it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend Alanis for a genuine mediterranean experience. The food is top notch! You won't be disappointed.

The chicken Shawarma was excellent so fresh ! I ordered a salad but I wish it came with Pita bread.The salad dressing choices are amazing.Great Hummus.

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.

Absolutely delicious! Chicken schwarma, tzakiki, baba ganoush, hummus, salad all fantastic. Worth every penny. Can’t wait to go back.

Place was clean. Food was good and staff were all nice
