Good falafel at zaina. I am not sure it was freshly fried when I was there most recently but even so still very tasty.

The lamb kebab is not kebab. The meat is not grilled, it seems like it’s slow-cooked but it’s very dry without all the sauce. Not the best especially considering the price.

These kind people gave delicious food to our kids visiting from Canada when their Canadian credit card would not work - on Christmas Eve. Bless you!

Great location. On a nice busy road all that got wasted by them producing yucky food.
it is very disappointing place. Serves terrible yucky food for very expensive prices with terrible non friendly service from a dirty kitchen.

Their Hygiene every where especially behind counter , and in cooking area,and displays is highly questionable.

Service is at the very minimum. Do not expect good customer service especially from the female server who wares black robe with a white scarf. Or other clothing but still wares the white scarf.

She is unfriendly, unwelcoming, has no manners, will give the impression that she is resentful because a customer came in , who is going to make her do some work.

I would almost say she is very rude, But not quite.

Food has alot of flavor, But yucky flavor and Over priced by at least 30%.

And if you are looking for good presentation of food , you are not going to find it here

The lamb kebob does not taste like lamb kebob. It is boiled lamb meat , cut into pieces and called lamb kebob.

The kabob supposed to be grilled not boiled. So if meat get boiled then it becomes part of a stew. Plus you could taste that it was boiled in pressure cooker. It does not have that deep flavor. Plus it had lost that natural oil flavor . It is just tender meat fiber pieces,But I guess that's the way they are marketing their kebob. Not real kebob.

Exactly similar to a steak . Steaks are not boiled in high pressure cooker , then put on the grill. No . Or it will be called something else.

To them it is Whatever as long it sells, and it is tender and has flavor but not a good flavor.

Just like the saying: if it doesn't look like a duck, doesn't sound like a duck, doesn't walk like a duck; then it is not a duck.

Same here : if it doesn't look like kebob, doesn't smell like kebob, and doesn't taste like kebob, then it is not kebob. Whom they are fooling?

But it is too late. By the time you realized all this, you already paid. And already eating this whatever yucky flavor food.

But if you really want to try the real lamb kebob, then please try it at Gyro time on greenwood ave n, or Garlic Crush in Issaquah location only. You will see & taste the difference in meat flavor & the quality

The food here is served in a big pile. All different food is piled on top of each other.

It looks like a big, huge mess, sloppy, no separation of different food,or different sauces.No class.

Looks like food you serve when volunteering at homeless shelters or missions. Not food you paid almost $25.00 for.

No Etiquette. Even when you eat the food, all the flavor is mixed , and lost in this big giant mess, and sloppiness.

The food presentation is so embarrassing that it does not look good enough to take to a gathering.

They have been there for a long time, they should be better at what they do. But no . It is the opposite.

They should know what customers like,and what customers prefer, and what style is popular, while maintaining, and respecting the integrity and the authenticity, and the heritage of the dish they are serving.

But looks like the messy style , plus whatever made up & cooked up food that is given a real good name coupled with rudness , and no class is served here

Diffinetly I would not recommend this place for a really good upper class middle eastern food.

Awesome gyros, friendly staff, fresh ingredients. Delicious desserts too! Do it.

Delicious, prices have gone up as with everything but still worth it.

This place is expensive for what you receive. I ordered three items, and it cost over $40: a gyro sandwich with a combo (fries and a drink), one spanakopita, and one honey cake. The honey cake was superb—very delicious. However, the spanakopita was definitely not worth over $8. I was craving it so at least it hit the spot. The spanakopita was a little soggy It's supposed to be crusty and flaky on the outside and ooey gooey spinach and feta on the inside. Oh well! The gyro sandwich was not to my liking but I did like their harrisa hot sauce on it. On a positive note, the service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was nice for sitting outside during the hot summer months.

I got the chicken shawarma plate and it was delicious - especially with the homemade hummus. They gave me a falafel to try for free and that will absolutely be my next buy here. Soooo yummy!!

I was craving a solid gyro and discovered this place by accident. I've passed by it a few times and I always thought it was just a coffee shop. The gyro was pretty good though. I just wish they put onions in it.
