“The Falafel is SO delicious and my favorite. They cook the falafel perfectly. It's always so tender and never greasy. I love it as a healthy meal and absolutely adore the gentlemen who are regularly there. Its a great family run business that sells food to be proud of.“

“We ordered a catered lunch for work which included chicken and lamb kabobs, yellow and white rice, hummus and pita, tabouli, grape leaves, Greek salad and baklava. EVERYTHING was delicious. So flavorful and freshly made! And the presentation was beautiful! The kabobs and rice were piping hot and the salads and hummus were cool and fresh. Everything had just the right amount of spices. And the baklava was the best I’ve ever had and my colleagues were in agreement. The owner went out of his way to prepare an amazing catered lunch. It was beyond 5 stars. We will definitely be ordering again from 2MPS.“
“"I recently dined at Shawarma Bistro and it was an absolute delight! The flavors of the Mediterranean cuisine truly shined through in every bite. The shawarma was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, leaving me craving for more. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal with friends or family. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend Shawarma Bistro to anyone.“
“My son and I go there when we visit Richmond. We have the Mixed platters. I like the hot sauce. My son likes the white. Either one you will not be disappointed. The food and service are wonderful. Everything is made to order, fresh, and hot. The atmosphere is low key nice and clean. Thank you Carytown Gyro for a wonderful dining experience everytime.“
“Pinky's is fabulous!Highlights:- Refreshing menu selection.- Excellent customer service.- Plenty of N/A bar options.- Beautiful, open layout in the dining room.Everything we ordered was great but I particularly enjoyed the Octopus and the Beet Salad.Highly recommend!“
“Five stars for food and atmosphere but three for service. Our wine, apps and entree were unbelievably good. Similar to dining in Europe. Internationally acquired ingredients and a menu with a robust variety of flavors. Our server appeared high and disinterested. When we asked about menu recommendations she said “anything”. She botched the bill (in our favor) and didn’t mention dessert.“
“So much food! Everything was delicious. And the staff was extremely nice. Next time I'm in town, I'll make a point to eat here.Parking: It's an awkward layout, but there are plenty of spots around the building.Kid-friendliness: We brought our two y.o. and 4 month old and they were given lots of attention. There are no changing tables in the bathrooms though.“
“A very authentic experience. The Mediterranean takeout is amazing! They have great customer service and the prepared food is always fresh and hot. If you want some fresh tzatziki or hummus then this is where you go. They also have a small market where you can get fresh pita bread, Mediterranean products like oils, spices, grape leaves, teas, candy and more.“
“Visiting from SC. Found this place and so glad that we did! The options were all wonderful looking and tasting and the drinks were phenomenal as well!All of the employees were helpful and friendly! I wish there was a location near where we live. Highly recommend! Also, get their APP to save and earn free food!“
“We ordered through Door Dash and the food was fantastic! I got the Platter with shrimp kebob, veggie kebob, rice, flat bread & cucumber/onion/tomato salad! The ingredients tasted fresh and were seasoned perfectly! It felt like healthy eating and was reasonably priced! We will definitely be ordering from this place again!“
“Gyros, grilled octopus, dolmades was delicious. They also make a good old fashion. They really took care of us here. It's also really affordable especially considering the area that it's located.Parking: This area is busy so be prepared to walk a bit after parking but it is worth it.“
“A Richmond institution. I remember coming here as a kid, and now that I'm back in the city I've really enjoyed getting to come back and done here again.Pizzas are amazing, their dolamdes are fantastic, and I really love the falafel pita.“
“We had the pleasure of dining at this Mediterranean restaurant and it was truly a delightful experience. We tried three different dishes, each one bursting with flavors that perfectly captured the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. The attention to detail and the careful selection of ingredients were evident in every bite. The impeccable service further elevated our visit, making us feel welcomed and valued. From the moment we walked in, the lady’s warm hospitality made us feel at home. Overall, a fantastic culinary journey that left us craving for more. Highly recommended for anyone looking to savor authentic Mediterranean dishes in a welcoming atmosphere.“
“What a trip to flavor country. Let me start with the service.Nadine was polite and gave us great advice on what was best to order. We had our drinks filled more often than a sailor swears. The restaurant was cleaner than one would expect in rva, somehow they’re winning the war against the general historic Richmond atmosphere. It was appetizing to find no fault nor splash of errant sauce on any surface.But on to the best part because one should be succinct if anything when leaving a review: the food had a balanced level of seasoning, setting off complimentary flavor like firecrackers in one’s mouth, quickly tamed by sweet garlic cream sauce and elevated by the savory spoonful of saffron rice nestled timelyin between other bites. Prepare an Uber. They don’t serve alcohol that I observed but I left with a food coma more powerful than any three shots of quality Irish whiskey.This was a good time. And now, I will sleep off the metric ton of various meats I have devoured.Bee tea dubs, the family meal was an affordable way of gaining 3 lbs in a day and it was worth it.Yum.“

“I was just introduced to Cava and I love the Cava bowls. The bowl is delicious, it's filling, it's nutrient and satisfying. And it doesn't leave me with a bunch of gas which is a us for me because im not a fastfood person, I do my own cooking so Cava is a plus for me.Parking: It's on a ground of it's own with plenty of parking that circles to businessKid-friendliness: It's a family atmosphere suitable for kids. I had no kids but I saw kids there.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is parking lot level for wheelchair accessibility with designed disability parking“
“I was just there today with a group of girls. There were about 15/16 of us and the staff there was amazing! The guy was very helpful & friendly. He got us in & out quickly as their line starting getting long. Seems they were understaffed as he went from the food to the kitchen. The girl next to him was very helpful & pleasant too. Thank you all for your patience & help with the bowl! It was yummy“
“Went here for a healthy dinner with friends. My sister had been once and said it's great for variety. Almost like a Mediterranean Chipotle where you proceed down the line and ask them to fill up your bowl. I got a Falafel bowl absolutely loaded with various toppings including brown rice, cucumbers, baba ganoush, lebanese tabbouleh, pickled beets & pickled onions, and sumac cucumbers. There were a lot of sauce options to get on the side too so I went with taziki and s'hug. The workers had warned me that the s'hug was very spicy but maybe my spice tolerance has gone up? Didn't struggle at all! Everything was super fresh. Will be back!“
“Perfect place for our wedding! The event coordinator and staff were wonder and everything went so smoothly. Beautiful place for pictures and the food was spectacular. I would do the night all over again at Quirk! Thank you to Liz, Scott, Nicole & other staff members :)Dietary restrictions: Gluten free & vegetarian options“
“The food from here is delicious! We got the mezze chicken kebab platter and a side of tabbouleh to go. The whipped feta that came with the chicken & rice was incredibly tasty. It came with ~7 pieces of fresh pita, the perfect amount to try all the small dishes/dips that come with the meal. We were welcomed as soon as we entered and our host/server was incredibly kind as we waited for our takeout order to be prepared. The flavors and variety justified the price - will be returning!Parking: Busy location, but easy to find a spot!“
“We had a lovely dinner at Bar Solita in the beautiful city of Richmond. Our server Edwin R was appeared at our table within moments of our arrival and provided us with many excellent recommendations. Our drinks and food came quickly and were delicious. We will definitely be back!“
“Great dinner last night from Tazikis’s. I appreciate the ease of online ordering, the variety of well seasoned and delicious menu items, and the freshness of the ingredients. Not your typical fast casual experience. Convenience without the guilt.Dietary restrictions: Easy to stick to a paleo or keto diet“
