“I tried a new restaurant today, it was called La Shish. It's up in Allen, TX on Main street. We had the Baba ganoush, the fattoush salad and falafel pita. The baba ganoush was nice and Smoky, just the way I like it, I highly recommend if you like anything Mediterranean, eggplant or smokey in flavor. I love the atmosphere, the atmosphere exceeded my expectations, it was kind of a mix of Mediterranean & Moroccan which I thoroughly enjoyed. It looks both clean and fun as well as exotic and I wouldn't mind going back. We were seated immediately and the waitress was very nice and patient. Just the right level of attentive, not too much, not too little, just right! My guest said she would like to come back so it was a winner. #greekfood #greekallentx #allentx #allenmainst #greek #shish #lashish #babaganoush #salad #pita #restaurant“

“"My first visit to Dimassi's Mediterranean Restaurant and my first buffet experience happened here in Dallas, and it was a delightful fusion of the best and most delicious delicacies. The mix of Asian and Turkish foods was exquisite, with excellent options for drinks and desserts as well. The ice cream was simply unbeatable. I highly recommend this restaurant, giving it a solid 100% recommendation."“
“Food: I had a vegetarian wrap, that was delicious in the crispiness of its falafel and the taste of the sauce.Service: the servers were very kind, asking for our opinion on the food and offering us samples of possibly new flavors.Atmosphere: I really liked the atmosphere. It's not a very big building, but the colors on the walls, the organization of tables and chairs, and the customer service make it a very calm room with a relax and chill atmosphere.(I didn't go into the market area, so I can't offer an option on that).Parking: On a Friday afternoon, it was easy to find a parking space.“
“This place has the best food, outstanding service and incredible owners. If you want to try food like no other, then this is the place. Please give these people a try and you will never forget it. Thank you for just being there. I am visiting from Florida, else I will be there everyday. But for sure I will be back with my family again and again“

“We recently hosted a private event at Giovanni’s Mediterranean and Italian Cuisine for approximately 130 people. Alex and his wife were wonderful hosts! We were delighted by the bountiful buffet style set up and charmed by the individual hors d’oeuvres provided. The staff were quick to clear plates and were very attentive to guests. We could not have been more pleased. Highly recommend!“
“The food was absolutely wonderful, The falafel was crispy and full of flavor. The chicken and beef shawarma was perfect. I drove all the way from Arlington and I will make the drive again for great food and service. Thank you for the fantastic experience.“
“Low key spot that was run by one man , Ray , when we ate. We split 2 plates and got a soda for $32 total , this was enough to feed my parents self with a nice sized snack for later .When we grabbed our salads from the buffet to accompany our plates all 3 of us grabbed one , even though we had only ordered 2 plates total. Maybe overthinking I pulled out some cash and told Ray our error when he brought our pita bread , and he was so hospitable and couldn’t have been less worried .Every single thing we ate here was unanimously fantastic . Both the Turkish rice and spicy rice were cooked perfectly (although the spicy rice may have had a touch too much oil) . My folks loved everything as well .Along the likes Hutchins , Taste of The Islands ,Uncle Zhous and Malgudi Garden this will be a place I take friends visiting for a sense of the area .“
“Best Turkish food in America! I got the chicken doner and always get tea because I'm obsessed. lol The doner is out of this world. If you're from the balkan region like me this food will bring tears of joy to your eyes. Hope this place continues to thrive and bring delicious food for a long long time. 100/10 recommend.“
“This location could cure world hunger. I came in this evening to grab a couple of bowls and Jalil and Daniel were super helpful. I made a mistake in my friend’s order and Jalil was able to fix it easily and with excellent customer service. You can tell they enjoy working together and make a dream team. Thank you guys so much!“

“Great food, great service and welcoming atmosphere. 2nd time eating here and absolutely love this place. We got the sheesh bowl, gyro and the potatoes. It's so good I didn't want to stop eating. The flavor of the meat is just spectacular and the sheesh sauce, everything just pairs well.Parking: Open parking lot“
“Saw a review by Mr. Chimetime on IG and decided to give it a go. Glad I did. One of the best Gyros I’ve ever had. Very fresh and actually juicy meat just like how Mr. Chimetime suggested. The complimentary baklava was the icing on the cake!“

“This family owned restaurant isn't very fancy inside, but the owners are super friendly, and the food was excellent. We all had platters of chicken or beef kabob with rice, hummus, tabouli, and lentil soup. It was delicious. We will be back.“
“Everything is HalalThis is the place where you can get real charcoal BBQ items.Chicken, Beef, Mutton/Goat Everything is so Awasome.Trust me, this place is for charcoal BBQ lovers.Mini Platter is good for small family 2 adult and 2 kids.Additionally, Nihari and Bihari Kabab are wonderful ...exactly the same as Karachi style (challenge to Jimmy and Signature Kabab)Enough parking space.Very nice ambiance.Good place for weekend dinner.Parking: Enough parking space.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible @ wheelchair.“
“Walking into "Villa Vinci" on Ballard Ave in the heart of historic downtown Wylie feels like stepping into a well-kept secret. This small trattoria exudes an unpretentious atmosphere that is immediately welcoming, embodying the essence of casual Italian dining. The ambiance, with its aging tables and straightforward setting, might not scream luxury, but it whispers home, comfort, and authenticity.The staff at "Villa Vinci" are at the heart of the experience. Our waiter, Yaya, was a standout, proving that service can make or break a dining adventure. Though his Kurmanji might be better than his Italian, his service was fluent in the universal language of hospitality. Yaya's attentiveness and genuine warmth added a personal touch to our meal, making us feel welcome and part of the family."Villa Vinci" serves up dishes that would make any Italian grandmother proud. I had the eggplant parmigiana, a dish that, in its simplicity, requires a deft hand to perfect. It was sublime; each bite was a harmonious blend of rich sauce, impeccably prepared eggplant, layered over flawlessly cooked spaghetti, all beneath a veil of sumptuously melted cheese that whisked me away to Italy. We left with full stomachs and warm hearts, unanimously agreeing that the experience was delightful.“

“MUST TRY. Located inside Walmart which is very convenient if you have to run errands in the store. Lovely food and lovely people. The food here is the closest thing to my home country Syria’s food. I will definitely have Shawarma Press on my go-to list when looking for somewhere to eat.“
“First time trying this place & I loved it. The pineapple mango smoothie was a bit pricey but man did it taste REFRESHING! I got the borough & yes ! I love love loved it ! Definitely will be a regular now. Oh & the ladies were very nice too.“
“What a great find for authentic afghani food. People are so nice and make you feel right at home. The eggplant dish was the best I had in a restaurant. Rib eye kabob was so tender and rice was so special! Next time i come back for buffet to try everything! ?“
“Tried the Olive burger…because why not! The burgers and fries were really good. I’ve never had olives on a burger before but it was delicious. I’ll eat olives but I usually don’t see them out. Olives on a hamburger give it a salty flavoring that you didn’t know was missing. Definitely a great deal for the price. The portions were plenty. Definitely will be back.Parking: Tons of parking“
“We visited on 3/7/2024, The food was phenomenal, all fresh , all taste excellent, and came out in a timely manner Had a very friendly server that attended to all our needs. I would definitely visit there again.I had the Humus with Mushrooms, the salad spread and shawarma pita, my wife had the schnitzel pita. We both ordered more to go before we headed home.Vegetarian options: Plenty of salads in the menu as well as HumusParking: There were plenty of spots in the parking lot outside the restaurantWheelchair accessibility: No ramp or steps to get in, plenty of room to move within the restaurant“
“This place is absolutely amazing! The food the staff, there are so many good things to say. I recommend the lunch buffet for new comers. They have a nice limited selection of very flavorful food that isn't over done. This way you also get to try everything without the commitment. You may need to wait for a seat or possibly make a reservayion in advance due to the popularity of the place. They also so not have any coke or pepsi products for everyone that is Halal and pro watermelon this may be the place for you. The machine is coke but I'm it's because they bought it years ago like most retaurants do, they even tried to cover the logo. The products are defintetly local. One of my new favorite placss to go!Vegetarian options: There are a quite a few vegetrian options.“
“First time I went here it was with a friend and the food wasn’t the freshest. Second time was with my family and my wife was very happy and how clean the food was, can’t really complain for this quantity of Halal food and variety. Don’t expect the whole Lotta flavor though.“
“This place did not disappoint at all. We had the lentil soup at the beginning, it was very flavorful and was one of the best lentil soup i tried so far. We then got the super mix kebab platter, it was a lot of food for 2 people but I’m not going to complain about that. The chicken kebab was very tender and juicy, it was well marinated and seasoned as well. The adana kebab, beef kofte, lamb kebab and lamb chops had a perfect amount of salt and pepper and was very tender as well, it was perfectly cooked. At the end I ordered my favorite desert, kunefe and black tea. Kunefe was crispy from outside and cheese inside, it was perfect balance. The black tea was a little watered down, did not taste much like tea I make at home but kunefe really stole the show so I did not care much.The staff was very nice and they were very quick when it came to bringing our food to the table, they even let us reserve a table and order food on the phone because we were late for iftar.Overall, its a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts seeking authentic flavors. Whether you're craving soul-warming soups or succulent kebabs, this establishment promises a culinary journey worth savoring.“
“What a superb experience we had ordering from Zorba's!Mousakka, dolmas, Grecian chicken, patitsio, and a large salad was enjoyed tremendously.Followed up with decadent baklava, baklava cheesecake, and rice pudding.They even had gluten free pita bread!Everything was so delicious and very little talking at the table due to all the great food!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pita bread“
“Absolutely amazing food, service and clean. Wail the GM makes sure that you feel at home and have everything you need. He went out of his way to take care of us and explain everything since it was our first time there. Definitely coming back.“

Service is fantastic (extra kuddos to Rafael for his awesome service) and the food is delicious and really such a good value!I always get the spanokopita, Greek salad with chicken (hold the potato salad), and occasionally the soup. All yummy!“
“One of the best experiences I’ve had while eating out . I came in Friday afternoon 4/5/24. The employee at the front counter service was amazing and she also made sure to check back with all the guests in the dining room to make sure everything was great ! The manager was very sweet and attentive as well. Great team ! Luna grill should be very proud of such great employees! Best I’ve seen yet ! Also, of course the food was amazing but that’s a given with Luna Grill !“
“Rose Mediterranean catered our wedding's reception -- and we loved it! They were communicative and flexible; even produced items that weren't on their normal menu. The chicken kabob was tender and juicy, and the eggplant ghormeh sabzi was SO flavorful. Everything was DELICIOUS, and we're not just saying that because it was our wedding -- our guests raved all night, calling it the best wedding food they've ever had! Cannot recommend them enough. The attached photos, are just of the appetizers (in the craziness of the day, we forgot to capture the buffet).“
“This place is SO goood - the customer service makes it 20x better. We have tried the hummus, Philly cheesesteak, falafel sandwich, chicken shawarma and MANSAF! They have MANSAF which was FIRE ? . It was soooooooo goooooooood. We are quickly becoming regulars!!!!!!!!!!!“
“If you are looking for a home cooked style breakfast this is the place! However that is not the most impressive thing about this restaurant. The ladies who work front of the house are amazing! I took my daughter this morning after spending all night in the ER and the ladies were patient and kind with her the entire time we were dining in!“
“I had a very nice lunch here today. My waitress was nice, friendly, and very attentive. Good food and very nice atmosphere! The City of Allen is lucky to have this restaurant! There is plenty of parking and a good variety on their menu with a great location.“
