“This place is a Gem in the city. Out of the mediterranean restaurants I have been to it has the best Arabic Coffee and hummus, The service of the staff is 5 stars for being attentive an genuine kindness towards there customers you can see they care an love there business and that shows not just in the way they carry themselves while working but in the meals they prepare. I Sat there with my lady an she ate all her food I was stuffed with all that was prepared on the plate so i took it home for seconds and can't wait to finish it tomorrow for dinner. The pricing was very reasonable an worth every penny I look forward to one day revisiting this establishment for more of there vibrant hospitality and good food think I'm gonna have to get the lambchops next time.“

“If I could give it more stars, I would. This restaurant was one of the culinary highlights of our Derby trip. We stumbled upon this restaurant 30 minutes before the door sign said they closed. This did not stop any of the staff from offering us excellent service. We had a 4 course meal and had personal recommendations from the beverage manager. The wine selection was great and the Cabernet -Sangiovese he recommended was stunning. The food was delicious and the Desserts!!- Oh my word, I'm almost speechless! You cannot go wrong with the Nutella Mousse and the Pecan pie was delicious as well. We actually had leftovers and they were still just as great reheated (entrees) and pulled from the fridge (desserts). We would highly recommend this restaurant and hope to return“

“Omg yum! I was looking for a healthy meal with protein and I wasn’t just looking for some salad or something lame. I got the grill platter. Got it doing DoorDash and it’s really good. A ton of food too. Like either you’re going to be very satisfied or you’ll have some leftovers. Amazing. Especially for the price. I never write reviews, but felt compelled.“

“Food was fresh and cooked in front. Got my food in 10 mins. Shawarma rice was cooked perfectly but the meat tasted a little flat. I asked for hot sauce but it was a sour sauce which made the entire dish sour. The amount was good. Service was satisfactory. I will give it another try without hot sauce next time. They have outdoor seating options.Parking: You can park next to the food truck.“

“This is the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. I always say I'm going to try the salmon kabobs because I've heard great reviews about them, but I can't get away from those delicious chicken kabobs! The herbal rice is so amazing and I have to have the Greek salad every time! No disappointments when we visit Shiraz on Hurstbourne!“

“Love this place! I have been here more times than I can count. The food here is always so fresh and tasty, and the staff are also super quick at making orders. This is the best Mediterranean food I have found so far in Louisville.My favorite entree to get here is the Chicken Pita with a side of Greek salad. All of the vegetables in the Chicken Pita and the salad are so fresh, crunchy, and delicious. I also love the dressing that they include with the Greek salad, it is perfect. The Gyros and Baklava here are also great.Highly recommend this place!“
