“This place has great food. Vegetables were fresh, chicken was cooked well and falafel was not oily. Everything tasted well.Vegetarian options: The falafel is awesome.Dietary restrictions: They have vegan optionsKid-friendliness: They have kid options, I did not get that but it seems like something my 7 year old would like.Wheelchair accessibility: Small ramp to get into the restaurant“
“We’ve taken food out a few times from here but sat for dinner with a group of friends for the first time tonight. The food is always on point! There’s a great menu full of many options. We always come for their shish kebob. Our friends never been here before really enjoyed all the dishes and appetizers as well.The owner Raffy is a doll. He introduced himself to our group, and was very friendly and made great conversation. Highly recommend Old City Café!“
“Current Review -Was in mood for Kabobs in this cold weather and stopped at this place late evening. Ordered Lamb Chops, Lamb Shank Pulao and Chicken Kofta Kabobs.Didn’t disappoint me. Amazing taste, flavorful and had authentic reflections of Mediterranean cuisine. Their Lamb items are the best among the list.Their complementary Bread and Salads with different sauces is noteworthy.My recommendation is Lamb Chops and Lamb Shank Pulao. Shank was so well cooked that the meat was falling off from the bone and literally melting in the mouth.It’s an open casual dining place. Plate portion is good, competitive price for excellent taste and food quality. Customer service was good this time and could be because of less traffic.A must visit is recommended if you crave for Mediterranean food. I will visit again.Review from 2 years ago -We family and friends visit for dinner and tried Chicken Chapli, Lamb Chop, Chicken Lentil Soup and Chicken Gyro. Undoubtedly, the Lentil Soup and Lamb Chop were best from the list. Customer service is not good for family dine-in.“
“Visit this place every week during lunch. The food is amazing, taste delicious and consistent. I think this restaurant is far better choice than other places in the neighbor. Highly recommended!!!Vegetarian options: Recently added traditional Indian food option which is a complement to Chicken Shawarma for me.“
“Masala Bay is a fast casual dining offering a blend of Indian and Middle Eastern-inspired bowls and burritos (wrapped in naan bread). Its unique naan variations paired with spicy spreads create an intriguing experience.Vegetarian options: Has a whole bunch of Naan Options, Falafel and Samosa chaat“
“Small place with a 4-5 tables to sit at with counter service. Really good pita and hummus (super smooth and creamy), falafels (great consistency and taste), and chicken shawarma. Everything we ordered was good. Look forward to returning soon.“

“Can’t really answer the Atmosphere question as I always get it to go but seems that folks like it because I always see tables occupied. As far as the food and the staff always great service and quality of food is top notch.The only thing is I wish they were open later on weekends.Give it a try you won’t be disappointedVegetarian options: The vegan selection always very tasty“
“Amazing, does not do their shawarma justice. Very authentic , from the flavors to how packed and generous the portions are. Only complaint is you don’t have the pick of toppings such as pickled veggies for Ex.This is a welcoming establishment offering great eats for all cultures. There are no politics inside which I love , but they show the faces of innocent children, women and men who have suffered from savage acts.. this is a duty they don’t have to do but they choose to do it knowing the harassment they can face. It’s important for everyone of us Americans to understand what is happening and not let their pain and abuse go silentCan’t this recommend this place enough 10/10“
“been coming here for years now, food is always good & consistent. but today this female employee prompted me to scan a google card without saying why, just kept tapping it against my phone which i had put for the app. as soon as the review page came up she began to tap 5 stars for everything, without asking me or explaining anything. very suspicious & just completing this review so people know the ratings may be tampered with & completed by the employee rather than customers.“
“Great dinner! My friends and I enjoyed 5-6 different appetizers, both hot and cold. There are a ton of menu options to choose from. We enjoyed the parsley salad, Laila’s combo which included four different dips (baba ganoush, hummus, muhamara and a yogurt based dip), octopus entree, cauliflower with tahini sauce, and the mini hot pies. All very delicious!! They also had a belly dancer perform through the dinning room. Fun atmosphere. Staff very kind and friendly.“
“As a Persian who has lived in Iran for over 30 years, I must say that this restaurant can easily compete with the finest dining establishments in Iran. The quality of their food, especially their kebabs, is truly remarkable. If you have an affinity for meat, I highly recommend trying their barg kebab.“
“Great atmosphere. Rapidly seated. Got the falafel, hummus and salsa (comes with pita but I declined). Got a plate of pickles, on the house, which were flavorful. The falafel plate was filling and flavorful. It came with five balls and it was sufficient. The hummus tasted so fresh. I had no complaints. Street parking fyi. They accept card.“
“PROs - good food (meat) , good service , nice location CONs- not much for veggie lovers First timer .. good location... right on oak tree and park ave . Lots of other shops in this strip mall. Lots of parking ... gets busy on weekends and peak hours .. they also sell baklava and few other sweets ... We ordered gyros .. we also asked for extra meat . So the quantity was really good . We saw them prepare the chicken gyro and it was just awesome . Meat was juicy and tasted perfect . Goes well with rice , salad ... kids liked it . There was felafel but very limited options for veggie lovers. Lots of place to sit and dine . Overall a good spot for a quick lunch.. priced good .“
“Great small, quant place in town for Mediterranean food. We came for an earlier dinner at 5:30 on a Saturday and we were the only table. There were a number of people coming in to pick up takeout and delivery orders though. We started with the lentil soup and then I had the Chicken Kabob entree and my wife had the Mahi Mahi entry. We both really enjoyed our meals. The portion size was perfect and everything had great flavor. The staff was really friendly. We will definitely be back.“
“Amazing Israeli casual restaurant. 1) I got the Sabich, Chutzpah Fries, Hummus & Tahina topped w/ Falafel. 2) The Sabich is a Middle Eastern Jewish sandwich with origins with Iraqi Jews. It is very popular these days in Israel and its capital Jerusalem. 3) The ambiance inside is amazing. 4) They offer free lemon infused water. 5) I really liked the Israeli grape juice.“
“Jerusalem catered my son's Bris in Highland Park. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. David was a pleasure to work with and had great suggestions, and the worker who came to set up did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat!“
“Nice place for quick lunch or for a dinner with a views. We sat by the bay windows for lunch and got great views of the busy street. Food was freshly made and perfectly balanced healthy tasty food. Sweet potatoes fries were hot and crispy. Falafel was really nicely fired and crispy too.“
“This is a takeout restaurant, just fyi. This place is my family’s trusted authentic Pakistani restaurant. We constantly get nan kabobs from here. The nan is delicious and can be reheated the next day to eat— and it’ll still taste delicious!“
“Dinner with the family last night. BYOB but with a liquor store on the same block. Everything was great, food was delicious, hummus, kebabs, gyros, shrimp, veggies were all on point. The lamb was a little chewy and the rice a smidge on the salty side. Service was good, affordable prices with good portions. The bill came to $150 for 7 of us, not bad at all. If in the area, I'd definitely go back.Vegetarian options: Falafel, many of the appetizers, salads, etc.Parking: Side streets if not up front“
“We were in the area and decided to check out this place bc of all the great reviews and I’m so glad we did. This place is amazing and the food is so so good!! We ordered the hummus, chicken chapli and beef chapli with qabuli palow (traditional rice with carrots and raisins). It’s so favorable and so fresh. They bring out the largest piece of naan bread ever with your order or hummus and food btw which I totally forgot to take a picture of ??♀️ oh and the people who work here are so lovely!“
