“Al Zein????!!!!!!!???!!!!!! More like Al Pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The size of the shareable kanafa put me into extreme pain. It was good, for the ONE single bite that I took. Who can even share this portion size? A ladybug?!! A hamster???!!!!!!?? I have bad eyesight and needed to put on my zoom glasses in order to find it in the plate!!!! It was so tiny it slipped through the cracks in my fork and I needed to use tweezers to pick it up. I almost mistook it for an orange piece of lint. I cannot believe they are charging such a high price for such a small piece of kanafa but what else can you expect from Saudi Arabians. I’ll be back but please make the portions bigger.“

“This restaurant has it all, friendly and helpful staff, creative cocktails, delicious food and an upscale atmosphere. It is perfect for after work cocktails or dinner with friends. I had the Stacked Surf N Turf. Delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Food: AMAZING. We had the tabouli salad, hummus, filet, and beef kabob. I think the hummus could have used more acidity, but luckily the tabouli salad's acidity balanced it out. The kabob with the pesto-like dressing and the beet-crunchy-shallot-yogurt topping on top of the lentils was perfect. The filet is SO GOOD; had a nice crust and moist center; unfortunately the portion of it was small tho. For dessert we got the knahfeh and don't be scared! I was hesitant about the cheese, but the sweet syrup and ice cream nicely balances it out. Service: waiter was nice and gave us good recs; he strongly suggested the knafeh and we were pleasantly surprised. He frequently checked on us and we got to know him personally a lil! Ambiance: stunning. Simple and elegant. Great for a date night. Tips: I thought the hummus and pita ratio was off; so be prepared to order another pita haha.“

“I love the food, service, ambiance and everything about this place. No non-sense. The food and hospitality speak for themselves, but the fact this place is always booming with familiar faces during lunch is a testament to Cafe Sababa. I'm sad it took me so long to discover this place, but this is a new weekly stop for me and it should be for you as well. The Lamb Sandwich and Shawarma Pocket are on another level!“

“The best persian food in Atlanta area, for sure! The restaurant is not fance designed like Del Bar or Rumi’s. But the food is much better. The price is also a bit lower. It’s called Greek, but they have all delicious Persian foods. Give it a try! You’ll love it!“

“The menu is awesome. The food is authentic and DELICIOUS! Once you’ve had your food from the grill, go next door to the bakery and sample the baklava and Turkish delights! The customer service is exceptional, and everything is delicious! I will DEFINITELY be back!“

“We really enjoy coming here for lunch because it's just so convenient for us since we work nearby. Every item on the menu here is just so tasty, but I have to say my top picks are the Koefta sandwich with fries and the Falafel Platter. And the best part is, the owner is always super friendly and welcoming!“

“Ordered takeout for lunch today and I was thoroughly impressed start to finish. The owner was very sweet and eagerly explained each side. I love their passion for authentic Greek/Mediterranean food. You can tell in the food - everything was extremely fresh, delicious and fast. Some of the best I’ve had. I’ll definitely be retuning!“

“Maximos is wonderful! I've been a customer for nearly 20 years and have never been disappointed with my food or my service. Daniel and extended family are accommodating and polite each and every visit. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this place. Food is consistently delicious and consistently great! As long as Maximo's is open, it will remain in my rotation! Thank you Maximo's! Keep doing what you've been doing for nearly 25 years!“

“The food was very good. The food was flavorful and served hot. We had 3 appetizers; the Kebbe stuffed with meat, Turkish Lahmajoun and the fried cauliflower with a tasty sauce. Our mains were the 10oz burger, schnitzel burger, schnitzel platter and Roasted Eggplant with tahina as well as 2 children's meals. The service was excellent. The ambiance was average. I would definitely eat at Nur kitchen again“

“OMG!! This place is AMAZING!!! So much so….we came back a second time just two days later!!We had the Greek salad with chicken and a Philly Cheesesteak! Both were FANTASTIC! My husband said the Philly Cheesesteak tastes better than the ones he had in PHILLY!!!Unfortunately, we don’t live here but next time we come visit….we will stop by for some more YUMMY food!!!“

“The little restaurant is inside a market with Israeli goods. It feels like little Israel! There’s parking out front, but if there are no spots available, there’s more parking at the back of the building. I ordered with the cashier and when it was ready, my food was on the counter by the takeout window next to the cashier’s counter. There’s a small area with tables and chairs, plus a counter, for dining in. For the pastries, you get a styrofoam container or a paper bag, then use the tongs. You bring it to the cashier, show them what you got, and then pay.I got the Shawarma Platter ($19) with rice. It came with Israeli salad, hummus, and tahini. It was delicious, but I also tried the Shawarma Sandwich on pita ($16), and I thought that was even better.Every pastry I’ve had has been delicious. Highly recommend just trying them all! Not sure about individual prices, but I got 6 pastries and it came out to about $10-$11.Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back!“

“This place is a gem!!I found this place while looking up local Mediterranean cuisine. I am so glad I found this place!!The first impression when walking in is that the place is very clean, quaint, and has beautiful decorations, as well as an impressive selection of liquor.The service was prompt, and both gentlemen who worked there were super friendly.The best part was that the food was AMAZING! The Koobodeh Kabobs were well seasoned and cooked to perfection!!I had authentic Turkish coffee after my meal, as well as a Baklava, which was very delicious!This place is a must visit!!! I will definitely be returning.“

“Great Greek food - I enjoyed the gyro. Pita was fresh. It’s more of a to-go spot in my mind unless it’s nice out, they have an adorable patio! The restaurant is right next to a huge shopping center with clothing, movie, and fitness stores called Collection at Forsyth. Really nice center!“

“Love the Greek salad here and then getting 3 falafel on the side to put on top of the salad. The falafel sandwich "wrap" is also nice here for $8. If you show up between 12 and 1 be prepared to wait for about 15 minutes at least for a 1 person order because it is a popular lunch spot.Also, this place has the guilting you tip screen like so many establishments for take-out orders nowadays.“

“Their cooked food is delicious!! Very fresh and they are not stingy with the portions. They must be Egyptian or Palestinian because the flavors are amazing and authentic..? im going to ask the next time I go! Well done! Falafel bites, chicken and meat shawarma over rice. Yummy salad and grape leaves. Everything was perfect including the tahini and taziki sauces given.“

“This was such a rewarding experience! The Falafels were top tier! Everything tasted so good. I got the Salad mixed with grilled onions and falafel, plus plus plus lol. So Tasty! The employees were welcoming and patient as I tried to decipher what all I wanted.“

“I tried the restaurant inside the Tip Top Market after a suggestion from Next Door. I pass by almost everyday on my way to one of my offices and did not call my attention. I went for lunch and took some pictures so you have an idea of how it looks inside.At the end of the market is the restaurant with tables of different sizes. They bring you three small plates at the beginning while you wait for your food. I took a picture of them.I ordered the Moustaffa that is eggplant with ground beef. It came with rice and a salad. My intention was to take a picture of my food before I started but I forgot. I took it midway. Next time I would do.They ran out of desserts. I would be back and try other menu items.“

“The best Greek restaurant in town and around for many miles! This is a review that has been long awaited and absolutely earned. Athens Kouzzina is a jewel of a restaurant that I have the displeasure of not knowing earlier in my life. Having gone to this mall many times and walking by it many times in my youth, it was only when I was in my late teens when my family and I decided to go try it out and, goodness was it a good decision! None of the other Greek restaurants I have ever been to have compared to Athens Kouzzina. They have that special cooking touch that others can’t replicate. The owner being Greek and well experienced, this restaurant absolutely earns its many accolades that it has won over the many years of its operation. They don’t win these accolades year over year for no reason. If you are in the area and want some really good quality Greek food, you cannot skip on Athens Kouzzina.Athens Wings 20/10 - May honestly be the best thing on the menu and something you should not miss out on. My family and I always get this on every visit! It is 100% the best chicken wing of any flavor out there. Not only are the wings fried to perfection, but they are also bathed in an exquisite, unique, and extremely delectable sauce. This special and secret sauce holds several spices (presumably Greek) and flavors that just cannot be beat anywhere. It is notable that there was pride and expertise put into this mix. This sauce seeps very deeply into the chicken and gives it just another reality of flavor. And to make it even better, they have this most delectable feta cream sauce to dip them in. This feta sauce is like tzatziki sauce but far more flavorful. This trifecta of impeccable food quality is irresistibly delicious and guaranteed to make your taste buds beg you for another plate. As you can tell from my review, it is one of the best things I have ever put in my mouth and definitely the best wings out there. If you’re reading this, stop what you’re doing, put your diet on hold, and come try these!Athens Platter 10/10 – A large plate of some amazingly flavorful ingredients. I have tried the gyro meat, chicken, and pork souvlaki and can say they all taste very delicious. My personal favorite is the gyro meat due to its deep strong flavor. I suppose you can say that most gyro meats come premade into restaurants, but I cannot comment on whether it is homemade or bought. Regardless, it does have a good flavor. The chicken has its Greek seasoning though the flavor does not seep deep into the chicken meat as I would prefer. The pork is the least flavorful of the 3 and has the same issue with the seasoning not seeping deeply into the center. Regardless, both still have good flavor and can be dipped into the tzatziki sauce for an amazing combination. I always recommend getting a ½ and ½ platter so you can try from 2 delicious meals. The Greek potatoes are seasoned quite well and so are the fries if you choose to go that route. The rest of the platter is a simple salad and pita bread but those are just to accompany the other delicious things on the plate. Mix all these flavors together or in a small pita sandwich that you can make, and you have quite a flavorful bite of food. If you want a pro tip, ask for the feta sauce instead of/in addition to the tzatziki sauce for an even better experience! You can thank me later.Mt. Olympus Nachos 10/10 – A true literal mountain of unique and delicious nachos with a Greek spin on them. This is also one of my favorite things to get here and is such a great dish to share due to its enormous portion. Instead of nacho chips, fried potato chips are used instead. These are showered with vegetables, tzatziki sauce, and your choice of meat. There are no other nacho mountains high enough to reach the delicious flavor on the Mt. Olympus nachos. The culmination of all the topics on one bite of that crunchy potato chip is truly out of this world as well.One last note, the closer you stay to the Greek food, the better. I am at least happy that there is such a great focus on Greek food.Parking: Plenty of pa“

“I want to say that this was my first time trying this restaurant. My friends and I really wanted to experience something different. So we thought hey why not Moroccan. The food is pricey and not all of it was delicious. The one thing that made us really enjoy our experience was the belly dancer. She came and made 3 shows and in the end got all the crowd up to dance!! The staff were all super friendly. They asked us if we liked the food we were too shy to say we did not being that maybe this is just simply how Moroccan food is. Ambiance was intimate and I liked the coziness of it, the restaurant looked clean. In summary: I liked the ambiance, the staff, even the appetizer and my soup. I did not like my entree. My friends also did not like their entree. The only one who ate her meal was the one who ordered chicken kabob. At the end they give you a delicious mint tea with a small piece of baklava. Beautiful and different experience.“

“Absolutely LOVED the food. I had the spicy buffalo shawarma platter with falafel and grape leaves (new for me) and it was INCREDIBLE.First, the place is quite small, but cozy. There is enough seating and I loved the small mom and pop shop vibe that was there. This is a small business and it feels that way too (in a good way). I ordered for pickup and the food was already there waiting for me. Good first impression!I got home and to my surprise it was still steaming hot, which is pretty impressive. They loaded my plate up with shawarma and loved the rice that they had. The chicken was incredibly juicy and tender, but so flavorful and seasoned. The rice was incredible too, it was also seasoned as well. The falafel were pretty great albeit a bit small, but the grape leaf was pretty interesting. It is an acquired taste that I really really liked, the only thing I can compare it to is a very pungent and somewhat sour roll of rice. It was really really good though and I wish I ordered some more. Portions were great though, I had a ton of chicken and rice and I have leftovers, so no complaints there.Overall, I'll definitely come back again and order some more. Genuinely great food and great staff as well!“

“We ordered the hummus & taziki with pita as starters. Both were excellent. We also had the chicken gyro and lamb gyro which were excellent too. The young lady that was all smiles at the counter made the experience good. I’ll definitely return!“

“Halal Guys is a late-night gem! Their chicken, gyros, and falafel platters are a great options, satisfying cravings even in the wee hours. The fact that they're open until 3 am on Fridays and Saturdays is a game-changer. I like to order a platter. It comes with your choice of protein, rice, lettuce tomatoes and then you can add onion, green peppers, jalapeños, white sauce and hot sauce. Each bite is a burst of flavor, making it the perfect spot for a tasty, late-night feast. Try the hot sauce with caution! A must-try for those looking for a delicious and convenient dining option during late hours! It's a better option than McDonalds and Taco Bell when you're still hungry but don't want fast food.“

“I've come here regularly for at least 15 years, almost always for takeout dinner. The food has changed a bit recently, but it's still good for the price. I like the new recyclable plates and plasticware. What I don't like is that they don't seem to want my business anymore. We're late eaters/long commuters and it has always been a struggle to make it here before they close at 7pm. The last few times I've come it has been communicated very clearly to me that I'd caused or nearly caused them to have to stay late. Last time they started closing the kitchen early because it had been a slow night, and my nearly 6:45pm to-go order was a problem. This time, I ordered just before 6:30 and was still reprimanded for ordering too close to the takeout order deadline of 6:45. I'm sorry if it takes 30 minutes to shut down your kitchen, and that my order inconvenienced you. I've worked food service and have never expected to align closing time with leaving time. It just doesn't work that way. If your priority is to get your staff out by 7, please close at 6:30 instead of making your customers the problem.“

“You can count on Cava for consistency! The worker allowed me to taste the Harissa Dip, which was AMAZING! Also ordered the sweet potatoes for the first time, but those were a bit undercooked as I discovered when I got home. But all in all, great service and great food!Vegetarian options: This menu is very vegan friendly!Parking: Plenty of parking!“

“Been on my list for couple years and finally checked out this place over the weekend.The food was delicious, the flavors were fresh and inviting.The adana kebab was the pick of the lot. The kunefe was made to perfection.They had a good selection of hookah .The ambience was a bit loud and a bit outdated but other than that everything else was top notch.“

“We enjoyed some fast-casual Greek food at Grecian Gyro-Tucker. My husband both ordered the Gyro Wraps which were fresh and yummy. Leyla & Alex were friendly and happy to serve us!  we chose to dine in but you can can also get to go at the counter OR order ahead online on their website and have it ready to grab-N-go. We are lucky to have a location here in Tucker! #OnceAWeekGoGreek“

“It was my second time trying PITA and we absolutely loved it! Owner was amazing and helped me narrow down our choices around what I wanted. Everything was delicious and I’m so happy we found a new favorite spot! The food was excellent! We will definitely recommend and come back again.“

“My personal favorite is their chicken shawarma with extra garlic and Greek fries! Always hits the spot. -Their falafels are delicious -I love taking advantage of their lunch specials! The staff is super helpful with suggestions as well. You cannot go wrong and unsatisfied.“

“Hey guys it was my first time trying Cava and it was a good experience . The atmosphere was great and the workers were very nice especially the mangers . I would definitely come back again and try the pita but I tried the bowl and it didn’t disappoint!!!“

“Everytime we’ve come here Reagan has taken care of us and everything is always fast fresh and delicious. I’m very glad we found this place and highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner as I have never been disappointed by anything I’ve gotten “

“First time here. Had a pick up order, it was ready on time and hot. I can't say enough - food was excellent and seasoned well. Good prices considering the amount of food you get. Be prepared to have leftovers! We tried the Falafel bowl, Greek bowl, regular hummus and Greek fries, all equally excellent. Try it, you won't regret it.“

“We ordered the salmon and Mediterranean salad , Bismatti rice on side . It was absolutely delicious! Salmon cooked to perfection! My Husband ordered a Chicken gyro wrap and he loved it ! Great place to eat and servers and cooks are so pleasant and wanting to please their guest. Will return there again soon !“

“Food is just okay, nothing exceptional. The rice was not flavorful, but it was a good texture. The spicy chicken koobideh was not spicy. The salad didn't taste amazing, and they forgot to give us the dressing. The sprite had a weird aftertaste. There was a lot of parking outside and the restaurant was not crowded.“

“Oh my gosh, let me give a big shoutout to my man Ali who greeted me with refreshing energy, even at less than two hours from closing. Great staff, food, music, and energy.Seriously Ali, your character shines and care is prominently felt.Dietary restrictions: Had something with out cheese for New me“

“I'm in sales and I stopped in to hopefully talk to the owner, I was greated with INCREDIBLY friendly service and the most wonderful smelling food. I had to come back on my lunch break and was not disappointed at all. That was the best gyro ive ever had. Will definitely be coming back every time I'm nearby!!!!“

“All I can say is Wow!! I will be back soon. Maybe tomorrow.Thank you for another flawless experience. Everyone is so professional and courteous, not to mention the cleanliness of this establishment is impeccable. Who ever is reading this Trust that this will be a great experience.“
