“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.“
“A Cleveland breakfast spot staple, I always dreamed of a spot where I can say "the usual" and that dream is now a reality. I come here usually once a week and it is incredibly consistent, everything I've tried off their menu is great but usually stick to my western omelette add falafel and cheese. Also s/o Kim best waitress in Cleveland!“
“Food and service was on point. Got the falafel platter and a chicken shawarma with fries to go. The falafel platter was enough for 2 and so was the shawarma. It only took about 10 min for everything to come out fresh and delicious. 10/10 would recommend!!! The young guy behind the counter was super nice.“
“This place is really good. Belongs in a more upscale area. But glad it's here. Only thing is the hours. They're bab to begin with. Add in that I've gone there for food during there hours, to find the doors locked. With no explanation. Not being consistent isn't good for repeat customers.“

“We stopped in for a Saturday salad lunch, and the food was very flavorful. The grilled chicken was well seasoned, the mango cilantro dressing was spot on, and the tahini dressing was nice and thick. The 1970s/1980s soul music on the sound system doesn't seem to fit the style of the restaurant though.“

“This is a great gem. I got the Loubie beans which have the perfect amount of heat to them. I've had loubie other places which don't add a bit of heat. These are by far the BEST Loubie I've ever had!!! You have to try them!The beet root hummus was delicious.I also got a container of Labneh, which was delish.Great place for lunch. The gentleman who took care of me was helpful with my selections!“
“I've dined in a few times and it's been wonderful and recently had 25 family members over and bought the food from Tarboosh. Everyone loved it and we have plant based, gluten free and picky eaters! The recommendations I was given were spot on and I got raves on the food.“
“The market has everything you need , very clean and neat also the kitchen is so delicious has variety of Turkish food so yummy. I went two times in one week for breakfast they have open buffet option or you can order what you want. So far their food is the most authentic Turkish food I have ever eaten here in Cleveland . Also people who's working there are very nice and friendly I like the service there and definitely will visit this place again“
“I have never had a bad experience here. Every single thing I've gotten has been delicious and the owner is very friendly. If I'm not familiar with a food he'll give me a sample and take the time to write out the name of it. It's a wonderful place to have nearby and I'm so grateful for it every time I talk to friends who live in other cities who don't even know where they can find Middle Eastern food.“
“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.“

“Not my first pick for restaurants,was a sister outing with the husbands. The food & service were very good. We had hummus with veggies for an appetizer. I had the Flavor Savor Special and the wife had the Taza Chicken Salad, both were very good and plenty enough to take some home for the next day.“
“Saw a video on Instagram by a food blogger recommending this restaurant and it did NOT disappoint! We had the hummus and bread, the best in CLE! We also shared the salad and had the grilled half chicken and a lamb and rice dish. This was the best middle eastern food we've had in the entire CLE area! The server was wonderful and provided great service. We felt so welcomed and well taken care of. Our new favorite restaurant! You have got to try!“
“My partner and I come here whenever we go on a date, and it's always been incredible. Our only hope is that this place never closes so we can always come back. Best Mediterranean food I've ever had! Get the Kibee Plate, you won't regret it.“
“We ate here before the Browns game on Sunday. Staff was friendly, service was fast, and the seating area had plenty of seats available. No alcoholic beverages though if you're looking for that. They did an adjusted smaller menu to probably help move the crowd through quicker. I got a gyro and it was good. Good sized too. It came with a bag of chips for $12. A bit pricey, but not too bad for the downtown area. Not sure where you'd normally park since we parked a ways away to avoid the traffic on the way out. I'd definitely eat there again.Parking: Probably have to find a nearby parking garage or lot.“
“For the price, this place rocks. I had the most homecooked style food that reminded me of my moms cooking. The beef was tender and sauce was delicious. The shawarma wrap did not dissapoint as well. Chicken was moist tasted great along with the garlic sauce and salad. Service was good and recommendations made hit the spot. Would definately go here again when in the area.“
“My family and I wanted to try something different. This was our best choice in a long while. The flavors were right on point, the portions were perfect and our waitress Kerrie was amazing. We had the falafel and curry pitta for an appetizer, so much flavor and delicious. I was hoping my entree would be the same and it was. I had the new dish, Genie platter, I most definitely will recommend it and will probably have it again. I’m a creature of habit but try to try different things but the Genie platter was delicious. I would have given 5 stars but the space was very snug but we still had an enjoyable family night out. We all had different dishes and nobody had any complaints. And the service was spot one.“
