“I like many of you reading this review have driven past this place way too many times and wondered what it is like inside. I am here to tell you—just do it! Go inside and have anything! From a friendly bar to a welcoming dining room experience complete with white linen table cloth and impeccably dressed staff, my wife and I had an absolutely wonderful experience. We dressed casual on a Sunday for lunch and fit right in. Everything was top notch. The food, the service and the staff were just perfect—we could not have asked for anything different! Thank you for this little slice of Spain at Dover and Center Ridge.“

“Do not sleep on Ohio Kebab Grill! It is the best food I’ve ever had, and consistently good every time. I’m a vegetarian, so the veggie sauté and fattoush salad are my go-tos. My husband raves about the chicken biryani. You really can’t find anything on the menu that isn’t good. We live out of state and only come in a few weekends a year, but we ALWAYS stop here at least once and sometimes twice each visit. It’s that good.Vegetarian options: Veggie sauté, veggie biryani, veg stuffed grape leaves, hummus, roasted eggplant dipDietary restrictions: Some vegan options, avoiding gluten friendly, dairy free options.“

“Visited Syriana's with a large group of friends. Owner Greeted us and gave us a history of the restaurant and food. She was very nice and helpful with ordering. Was told no frozen or pre packaged foods are used. Great service. Ambiance was inviting, large and roomy and beautiful. Food was freshly made bright and refreshing. I had Hummus chicken shawarma with rice and tabbouleh. Shared a delicious side of kibbeh and Tahiti sauce. Highly recommend if you want freshly made delicious food.“

“I’ve been going to Aladdin’s ever since I moved to Cleveland 25 years ago. My husband first took me to the Lakewood location and I immediately fell in love with the food. Fast forward to March 24, 2024 when I ordered Spicy Kafka Rolls for us at the Crocker location. These were the best I’ve ever had - fresh ingredients, juicy meat, and best flavors ever!We were both so pleasantly surprised because most restaurants are lowering the quality of their ingredients and the amount they serve. I’d rather pay a bit more but not sacrifice on those! Please keep it up, Aladdin’s!“

“Claudett's Cafe & Deli is a little hidden gem. I am a night-shifter, so getting off work sometimes early in the morning, you can be really hungry, so I googled one Sunday morning and found this place as I was going home from work. The other day, I took my friend, and the results were the same as before.Vegetarian options: You can eat at this place if you are vegetarian. If you are vegan or have dietary restrictions, then please call the Deli because I don't have solid foundational info for that particular area in food. Always be sure to call and check things out. It doesn't hurt to do.Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Yes?Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility.“

“We stopped by for some Sfiha and pies. It was our first time at Assad's. The gentleman that helped us (I Believe he was the owner) was so welcoming and friendly. Everything was delicious, we especially loved the Kunafa- best I've found in Cleveland. And we also used it to celebrate my husband's birthday lol. It was perfect.“

“I was helping to plan a party for my wife and we decided to have Fattoush Grill cater for us. We were so happy with the food and the service and so were our guests. Everyone loved the food. We had the Gyros, the shawarma and falafel. We also had the homemade Hummus. The food was a huge hit. We would highly recommended Fattoush Grill for your next party. Thank you to Adam and his father for making everything easy.“

“La Kabob, owned by a gracious and welcoming dad and daughter duo, shines as a beacon of Lebanese culinary excellence. The owners, deeply committed to their craft, infuse a personal touch into every dish, creating a delightful dining experience that goes beyond great food--it's a true Arabic immersion. A must-visit destination with authenticity and great ambiance.“

“The bread and sauce that were brought to our table was perfect. I had the Turkish Pizza which tasted so fresh and vibrant. So unique! For dessert I had the kunefe. I highly recommend this restaurant. They even have a lunch menu that has the same great food! Our server was a young Turkish woman and she was wonderful. The atmosphere is very relaxing too. Highly recommended! Five stars!Parking: Big parking lot!“

“Ibiza is outstanding. I've been to Ibiza with my wife and child over half a dozen times, ordering many different entrees including steak, pasta, chicken, and fish. I would highly recommend any of them. The flavor and quality of the food is phenomenal. It's clear that a lot of care and culinary expertise went into crafting these dishes. The sauces are exceptional. The seafood tastes fresh and it's perfectly cooked. The wine list is superb as well.Ibiza makes us feel like a VIP. Every visit there are multiple servers meeting our every need. The staff are super friendly and remember us on subsequent visits.The atmosphere is great: white table cloths, patio, cozy with good decor. They have live music on occasion. The view isn't anything special.Ibiza is my favorite restaurant in the Cleveland area, hands down. It is a little pricey, but worth every penny for sure.The dish pictured is walleye in a banana whiskey sauce. Highly recommended!“

“Great place, went with my wife was unsure, but was My first time and will definitely go back was great food and service. Small place was expecting less but got more!! Give it a try won't be disappointedParking: Not lots but it worked with other businesses next to itKid-friendliness: Friendly service, will go back in a heartbeat“

“Everything excellent — hummus, lamb, Turkish coffee, garlic sauce, tahini, bread — and everyone is very nice! Everything was fresh and ready quick. Will definitely come back soon. We’ve been in Turkey and this was a great mini trip back!“

“I really like the food here. It's interesting and eclectic. I didn't realize what I was buying until I got to the end at the register. The restaurant that was there before had the register at the beginning. So there was that but otherwise so good.“

“Our server was phenomenal. She said she was brand new and even though it showed she did the best she could and was great.We had a few questions about the food and for the most part she was able to answer them. There's a point we asked if she had real butter and she said let me ask and some lady very snarky said no we don't. While giving us a very dirty look over her shoulder. We only asked a question.The hummus was good, our food was delicious. This mio we chose not to get dessert.“

“After a friend picked up a box of assorted pies, I knew I had to try Oasis.This is a true family owned neighborhood spot. Nothing fancy, but delicious food worth waiting for a it's prepared fresh and served perfectly hot.The spinach and feta pie is beautifully crafted. Though the ingredients are simple, the care in perfectly seasoning each component comes together to create a delicious light pie with welcome brightness and delicious layers of texture from spinach, creamy feta, and pillowy bread.If you're lucky to catch them open before they sell out, please try their food. Hope to be back soon.“

“I love this place! Hadn't been in a couple years and went the other night for a drink and some apps.....we just missed happy hour, but everything is worth the price! The blood orange margaritas are amazing, and the brussel sprouts are soooo good! We're definitely going back for the brunch!Our bartender Will was the best. Gave recommendations on his fav's and was attentive but never intrusive.Of course the view is gorgeous. Even sitting at the bar you get an amazing view of Downtown.“

“Taki's is great, but it is pretty difficult as a celiac! I did not even make it through dinner..... That said, our server was wonderful, and did her best. My gyro-connoisseur husband liked, but did not love the gyro. The pita bread looked amazing, and I was told it was. I had the kitchen salad with grilled chicken, which was juicy and flavorful. Taki's is very popular and busy, and the staff is great, especially the bartenders. Give it a try!!!“

“Asked one of the employee’s to make whatever they would eat, made me some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had. Thank you so much, I don’t even live here and I’ll come back whenever I can.Vegetarian options: Usually I don’t even notice any vegetarian options, but they were out there for anyone looking. I bet it’s appreciated.“

“I purchased the bubble tea, mushroom coffee and a little cheese candle. The drinks were delicious, and as great as the drinks are the service is even better. Carlita greeted me with a smile and had such an uplifting and genuine personality. I can't wait to come back and try their food. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're in a romantic love scene from your favorite Audrey Hepburn film. I highly recommend trying out this beautiful bistro.“

“Great neighborhood place to grab breakfast or lunch. This place is clean and the staff is attentive. I highly recommend the Banana Pecan Pancakes... yum! They must have a good exhaust fan because you don't smell like breakfast when you leave.“

“Last Friday I was looking for a place to eat lunch . I entered Falafel Xpress and ordered the Corned beef sandwich!! WOW , it was Delicious. I appreciated Deante , Wally and MIke. Very friendly atmosphere and yes the place is clean. I will stop by again and try something different. I enjoy sponsoring businesses that are family owned and operated. Thanks guys for a great lunch and experience!!!“

“The brown sauted broccholi and pink pickled turnips were just some of the colors and flavors that made this a memorable meal ❤️❤️❤️ Can't wait to go back! And the desserts... I overheard one little girl demand to be seated where she could see the cakes in the pastry cabinet ?“

“Love the diverse menu. With dietary restrictions, I feel like I’m not limited to only one thing. Rosemary garlic fries are my absolute favorite. Vibes are pretty good - more chill during the week, but it gets busy weekends and drinking holidays. Kitchen open late. Decent drink selection as well.“
