Hummus Elite

Reviewed By EarlyRetirementAbroa

I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent service. The food was also good. We placed our standard, “vegan friendly” order: Falafel, Humus, Roasted Eggplant, French fries, and Staffed Grape Leaves.I really liked their roasted eggplant – somehow different from the nearest restaurants. We set outside; I wish the weather would be better. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience.

Syros Taverna

Reviewed By GoldnAdvice

At some point, Syros was an excellent restaurant in the area, and then changed managements so many times that I'm not sure what is going on but I know that the food is off. The octopus appetizer was tough and chewy, the humus tasted terrible, they no longer have Scordalia ( my family's favorite). The fish was good, I had the branzino and it was seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The service was excellent, the waiter was very quick in accommodating our demands, always with a smile on his face. I hope they figure out what is going on in the kitchen and fix the problem soom. I would give it another try.

This is my third trip to GRK Grill and the food is very well-prepared. The decor is simple and attractive. They have creative apoetizers lIke halloumi over grilled tomatoes, grilled feta with honey and feta keoftedes (meatballs). We shared grilled halloumi over vegetables with balsamic reduction and ordered platters from the lunch menu. You can also order from the dinner menu which has a larger selection but higher priced. They just got a liquor license so we ordered wine and a mixed drink but they were out of the fig vodka listed in the drink.I was disappointed at the lunch selection: my daughter ordered salmon from the lunch menu but they had none and no fish to replace it (although they had shrimp). The same thing happened last time I went but for a different item. There was no lamb sandwich or lamb platter on the lunch menu. The lamb Kebob platter from the dinner menu was $25.95. Instead they had 3 types of Gyro sandwiches or platters so if you are a discerning Gyro fan, you may not miss the lamb or a mixed platter availability at lunch. (I would have preferred fewer Gyro options and a lamb option). I thought the pricing was higher than other comparable Greek restaurants I go to. However, I would go back because what is available is very good.

This place has the best hummus and makes humus bowls with various ingredients inside. They also have the fantastic thick pita bread, It is a shame the service is usually pretty bad.

Samdan Restaurant

Reviewed By raymondmC6721ME

It's not easy to find restaurants that serve Middle Eastern cuisine, but I'm glad our friends knew of this one.This Mediterranean/Middle Eastern/Turkish restaurant offers good sized portions of tasty food. For starters we ordered the medium combo meze platter, a large Conan salad, and an order of falafel---all very good. For entrees we shared a couple orders of chicken kebab and etli banya (okra and small pieces of lamb)---all hits with the group.Service was a little flawed, but not terrible.Food was very good, but not fantastic.Find this restaurant and enjoy yourself.Please give a like if this is helpful.

Europe Cafe & Grill

Reviewed By Yuliyaa11

We love to eat the food from that cafe! Most of the time we have no time to sit and eat there, but take out is the great alternative. If i'm out of the ideas what to feed my kids it's the place to go. So, we just eat lamb and shish kebabs, soups and some different salads. The best shish and lamb kebabs out there!!! Not so spicy too.

Axia Taverna

Reviewed By Simonizzze

We ate dinner here on a Sunday night, so the place was not that crowded. Service was attentive and friendly, and the food was very good quality. However the scallops were disappointing--tasty but not the best we've had, especially at a cost of $34 for 5 scallops.This is a popular place with people in the neighborhood. We were visiting friends who live nearby, but for us it was a bit of a drive. This is not a restaurant we would go out of our way for dinner. We have a local Greek restaurant with better food at much lower prices.
