The chicken shawarma pita at Tzikii grill is one of the best I have had. The pita was packed full of savory chicken with just the right amount of added fillings and delicious tzikii sauce. We also got a side order of hummus which was very tasty and a good thick consistency. To top it off the staff was exceedingly friendly. All of this added up to quite an unexpected lunch experience.

Their food taste like shit!! My gyro pita had hair in it!! And the noodles were overlooked in the meal. And the gyro was dry.. I was highly unsatisfied and their slow service was annoying. I DO NOT recommend this place!! Unless u lyk eating overlooked, hair infested.. And not to mention their salad was gross looking! It obviously wasn't fresh

Tried the food there recently and was pleasantly surprised at the quality! Everything tasted delicious, the portions were good, the staff was friendly and the prices fair. If you're in the neighborhood there, stop by and give them a try yourselves :).

What a delightful find! Stopped by for a quick bite; had the falafel pita which was very good, made to order and fresh. I was given a sample of their spicy dip and chips; quite tasty. And the best baklava (with nutella) that I ever had in my life...this sweet melt in your mouth experience was wonderful. Worth going back to !!

I love this place! I've already eaten here twice in the two weeks it's been open. Everything they offer on their menu is fresh and authentic. I had the chicken shawarma plate with a Greek salad, tzikii and baba ghanoush. It was outstanding! They had delicious fresh cucumber lemonade on hand to wash it down too. Mmmmm! Their cream and jello dessert is amazing too so be sure and save room. The service at Tzikii is just as wonderful as the food and the restaurant is clean and inviting. Seriously, you've got to give Tzikii a try. You will be happy you did! :)

The shawerma was amazing, and the cucumber lemonade was so delicious! I was skeptical about the lemonade but tried it and was sooo glad I did. New favorite pita spot

Awesome place to grab some quick Greek food! I had the gyro pita and it was delicious. They also gave us a sample of the cucumber lemonade which was just as good (we ordered a full glass after we tried it). I'll be back here soon. I've heard good things about their Greek fries so that's next on my list. The owner also owns the hookah bar next door which is the best hookah bar in town, hands down.

Excellent authentic Greek food- not a chain! Welcoming customer service. Beef Schwarma (sp?) and Gyro combos. Really good dips (so good we took more takeout for home). We had homemade "Cucumber Lemonade". Great choice!! They are in small shopping strip mall near Terri's Consignment.

Brigitte P.
This place is so yummy! I've tried the Koshari and the chicken shawarma plate, and they are both delicious. The hummus is very tasty, especially the jalapeño hummus. The chicken is cooked perfectly and not dry! (and I hate dry chicken). I also LOVE their baklava, I could eat it every day! It's not overly sweet but hits the spot. Also, their cucumber lemonade is very refreshing. The location is a bit hidden, in the same plaza as Starbucks and Floor & Decor.

From the Mediterranean Sea to the Deserts of Arizona, Tzikii Pita Grill is definitely the best place to eat!!! I drive from North Scottsdale, and it is WORTH the extra 35 minute drive for food this GREAT!!! The menu has great choices, has its own unique flavor that no other Mediterranean/ Greek restaurant can measure up to in Phoenix. One of my favorite is the chicken salad topped with TZIKII sauce A-mazing!!! The owner Mino runs this place, he has amazing culinary skills and his dishes prove it!!! And if you want to smoke hookah visit right next door Nara Lounge, Mino owns that as well!! :) ENJOY!!!

This place treats their employees like crap. They pay under the table and don't even pay minimun wage, even though their employees work 10-16 hour shifts. They don't even get their meals for free or at any kind of a discount. And they wonder why they have such a high turnover.

Neil C.
We hat the Tempe Chamber ribbon cutting last night and Mo and his team were right on point, being a Greek Egyptian fusion place the flavors were wonderful. Mo let me try the "Koshari" was fantastic for a vegan dish and I cant wait to get a full order. The Chicken Schwarma I hear was the bomb. with 26 people attending we all come out with smiles. To wash it all down with a big cup of Cucumber Lemonade pushed this meal over the top. My office is 1 block from this place it has now become one of my hangouts. If you need a group setting they own Nara Hookah Lounge right next door, very clean and great Turkish coffee.

Brain B.
Either my thirst is real or they accidentally spilled the salt container on the shawarma container before placing it in the heating dish. The spicy baba ganoush was good but the overly salty chicken forced me to ask for a side of regular hummus to balance the flavor. It wasn't too bad but the fact that I paid over $10 for a medium sized lunch and a pathetic salad makes me not want to come back, even with the yelp check in offer.

Patty D.
Try the chicken shwerma bowl! It's absolutely delicious. I had a salad with it which was great perfect portion size. The cucumber lemonade was freshly made and so good- a drink unique to tzikii. If you're hungry for a Greek meal I highly recommend this spot. Don't forget to have done baklava for dessert!!
(5)
Alexis M.
Small, warm place (by warm I mean that the staff is friendly and I got quite sweaty sitting there--the A/C must have been set on 80). Yummy vegan bowl (elbow mac, lentils, rice, some sort of smoky hot marinara sauce, and carmelized onions. DELISH. Generous portions for a reasonable price--much too much food for me for one sitting. Mr. P. got the chicken shwarma bowl and he said it was also very good. We both agree the baba ganoush was TO DIE FOR. And Mr. P. doesn't like eggplant!

The food was amazing! The chicken however, was a bit too over-seasoned. The lamb was really good, the two ladies were very nice and helpful. The restaurant was very clean and well maintained. Nice little Greek place to eat. Would eat there again and recommend to anyone.

Adam C.
Not really impressed. Got the chicken shawarma plate and it tasted really salty and dry. It's all precooked and sitting in front of you at the counter like a cafeteria. For the price (over ten dollars for a plate) you can get better tasting Mediterranean that is cooked to order. Try MedFresh Grill on mill ave north of university and you'll see what I mean. Maybe the gyros are better? There are a lot of 5 star reviews, not sure what I'm missing here.

Jay M.
Good solid gyro plate or sandwich. The chicken Shawerma looked great to. I just wish the had chicken kebab too.

Lynn N.
Have to say I was not impressed at all.. Had a gyro and it was lukewarm at best. Not enough tziki sauce on it and only like 2 small strands of onion. I love a good gyro, and this is not the place to go for one. I also didn't find it to be very clean either.

I was looking for a Greek place that were actually serving rice and came across this hidden gem! I've been here a few times and never been disappointed, the plate with salad and rice is a great amount of food with a fountain drink and a pita. If I could eat here everyday I would!
(5)
Jim W.
I stopped here after reading some great reviews on Yelp - and was not disappointed! It's a small shop tucked into a nondescript strip mall. The place is clean, but don't come here for the atmosphere, come for the food! The menu has so many choices! The staff is very helpful, and you can sample things to help decide what to order. I've been here several times, and everything I've tried has been great. The vegan Koshari was flavorful, although with lots of rice and macaroni it has a lot of carbs. But the taste was amazing! I also enjoyed the Chicken Shawrma Plate and the Greek Salad with Gyro Meat. Many of their selections come with a side of hummus, and I love love the Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus! Last time an employee gave me a sample of the Spicy Babaganoush and it was outstanding, too. I'll be getting that next time. So ya, I like this place for the service and the food. Highly Recommended!

Mikhail P.
Wow! The first time i came to find out about this place was through my sibling. She one day came to the office, opened a take away box and the aroma of the food she had, made the whole office say" That smells amazing delicious, what is that!? ".lol. That's when she had mentioned Tzikiis. A place located on priest, just a little off the 1-10. It's a small place but the good food is what makes it BIG. This definitely a go to place for Mediterranean gyros and salads.

J C.
Got the gyro and beef pitas and they were delish, but I really can't stand that their system automatically asks for a tip when you use a card to pay! And the tip starts at 18%! I felt too guilty to tap "no tip" so there went my dessert. If you have my problem, pay in cash. I doubt they will ask you for a tip then... Or will they?

Ary N.
Not a fan, I was thinking of just going over to Pita Jungle for a salad but saw this place on my yelp. Decided to try it out. Right after I seen him making the salad I knew that I probably was not going to be a big fan. Their chicken was so salty, didn't enjoy the flavor, and the salad did not even include to much of the greens, total joke for almost a $10 salad. Do yourself the favor and avoid this place and all the salt.

Alison T.
We came here on a whim because we had no idea what else we wanted for lunch. The gyros were, I think, better than Niros Gyros. Their portions are huge and everything is really tasty. I liked trying the different hummus's and the baba ganoush. The owner was really cool. He let us try a sample of the cucumber lemonade. Wow that stuff is amazing!! The only disappointing things were my boyfriend wanted fries and they were out and the prices were very high for a fast food type joint. We'd come back for sure next time we're in the area but I hippie they would let their prices a bit. That would be the only reason we might pass on them if we didn't feel like spending that much.

Haven't had a great tasting Gyro in a long time. This restaurant sure did fulfill every aspect in serving a meaty Gyro just the way I like it . Eight Ounces of meat balanced with Tzikii sauce, lettuce and cucumbers rolled up in pita bread. I had a basket of fries as a side nothing spectacular about them. Welcoming service starting with greeting to checking on you of how the food taste. Suitable for children, families and small groups.

I've been here a few times and each time I've gotten the Gyro, which is really good... But this time I got the Falafel Pita... YES! Delicious! Great crunchy exterior, moist inside. Just wonderful! So far, I've never had anything I didn't love here.
(5)
Erik P.
The food here was fantastic.... not expensive and totally full of flavor. Cost: Really inexpensive. Lunch for two was $16. Food: Some of the best Mediterranean I've had. Only Princess is better from what I've had. Extremely flavorful... especially the spicy babaganoush sauce. Service: People that worked there were nice enough and checked to make sure the food was acceptable for us, which is pretty unusual for a fast-food style restaurant. Ambiance: a bit on the plain/utilitarian side... about what you'd expect for a non-chain fast-food type of establishment. Overall: A bit of a drive for me but I'll be back for sure. The atmosphere is lacking, but as expected for the type of restaurant that it is.

I came here before heading to IKEA one day because we were so hungry and this was one of the places that was rated well on Yelp and was close by. I should have read the previous reviews before coming here because several people have mentioned that their food was salty. Well I didn't realize until only after I have ordered my food and sat down waiting, reading the reviews on their food thinking "oh great, our food is going to be salty!" I ordered the chicken swarma plate with rice, salad, cilantro hummus and pita bread and my fiance ordered the gyro plate with rice, salad, pita chips and some other sauce (forgot the name). Well, I took a bite out of a small piece of chicken by itself and OMG that thing is loaded with salt! I tried a piece of gyro which was not as bad as the chicken but still it's pretty salty if you ask me. I had to make sure I was balancing it out with more hummus and salad when I was eating the salty chicken so it would be more tolerable. Everything else that came with the plate wasn't so bad but it's just the meat that kinda gets at you. Anyways the first 10 minutes of walking around at IKEA and through the whole night, we were pretty much dehydrated and dying of thirst. I would only recommend this place if you really really really really really enjoy salty foods.

I've been coming here for a few months now, several times a month (sometimes twice a week since they are so close!). I love the small, cozy seating and the food is always so good. Depending on who made the food that day though, it could be different, but it's always good. Sometimes they don't have the coconut chicken I love, but they accommodate by making a batch for me. Great for a quick lunch or dinner!

Olivia W.
First time here and when I am back in the area I will be sure to visit again for the Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus!! Oh my goodness it is soooo delicious! I ordered with falafel plate with salad and 2 dipping sauces, one of which I already named, and did I mention it was freaking fantastic? It is! I also got the regular baba ganoush, they didn't have the spicy today :( so only 4 stars. The regular was still good and had a hint of a smoky flavor. The rest of the plate consisted of 3 falafel patties sitting on a fresh chopped garden salad. They were average sized, crispy and flavorful. The salad was a little heavy on the red onions but I prolly should've request easy onions. Still very fresh and tasty. The service was great and prompt. Thumbs up and I'll see you all again soon!!

Kathy R.
Excellent experience! Delicious marinated chicken and fresh ingredients in the chicken bowl. Prices are very reasonable for fresh high-quality food. Service was prompt and friendly. We will definitely be back! Thanks!!!
I had the gyro and shawarma over rice pilaf, with a Greek salad, tzaziki and hummus, AND a fresh hot pita on the side. Every element of the meal was great. I ate everything on my plate (minus the olives. Devils fruit it is). I recommend this place so hard. It's homemade style, not mass produced flavor like some other places in the area. The staff is also friendly and accommodating. Say "Hi" to Mino, the owner, if he's in!

Yet another highly rated review of a Greek/Mediterranean restaurant establishment I am composing, and I'm fearful of the loss of credibility this may ignite. HOWEVER, the stars bestowed here are not in vain or exaggerated. I hope a few specific examples may help me show this. Do you like seeing your food made in front of you? I most surely do, and you can expect that here. :) Do you want your food fresh and made to order? What? A rhetorical question you say with an obvious response? Yes-guilty as charged. Fresh food and quality can be expected too, so let me just come right out and say it. Now, going back to something I touched on earlier -because I'm ADD and love to jump around paragraphs at random-I must address something about this type of restaurant. It is true that I have really been enjoying a lot of gyros and pitas lately, but HOOOOLD UP! STOP! Take a walk outside this place, turn around, and look to your right. Is that a hookah lounge?!! YES. :) So what makes this place even better, is that there is a hookah lounge (same owners) next door that is a supplemental concept to the great food at the restaurant, and you can eat the food here and more! More as in enjoying the plush seats and relaxing atmosphere after a stressful week, and the comfort of the other neighborly, friendly patrons. I'm really not doing this place justice. You just have to go. It's very unique, and I drive all over Arizona for work daily, and this is like nothing I've seen out in our beautiful state. Support a great local business please, and give this place a shot. Did I mention a lot of the food selections are healthy? Yep. These folks know what they are done are doing :)

Excellent food and very friendly and caring staff. We found this place accidentally and were very happy to have found such a wonderful place. The chicken Showarma was the best I have had. Unlike the other places, chicken was juicy and the saffron rice was excellent. The Cucumber lemonade is unique and refreshing. I will be back to try their other items on the menu.

Love, love, LOVE the food here! From the hummus (jalapeño/cilantro, chipotle both very flavorful and user friendly heatwise), cucumber slices and pita to the gyro and chicken shwarma. Nothing is dull for your mouth. Cucumber lemonade also should not be missed. Surprise, all you nutella fans: it's in the baklava :) Stellar service every time even if they are rushed. Guys: for real... You won't be sorry.

My awesome wife and I decided to try this place. She got the chicken Schwarma salad. I decided to get the Gyro plate. I'll admit I was a little bit hesitant. I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk a bad meal at a small restaurant I had never heard of. No problems here! Both of us got great food. The portion sizes were really good. My wife is very picky with the quality of chicken and she loved it. They even gave her a sample to make sure she liked it and they even have diet Dr. Pepper, her favorite. The value was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

The food was amazing! The chicken however, was a bit too over-seasoned. The lamb was really good, the two ladies were very nice and helpful. The restaurant was very clean and well maintained. Nice little Greek place to eat. Would eat there again and recommend to anyone.

Not really impressed. Got the chicken shawarma plate and it tasted really salty and dry. It's all precooked and sitting in front of you at the counter like a cafeteria. For the price (over ten dollars for a plate) you can get better tasting Mediterranean that is cooked to order. Try MedFresh Grill on mill ave north of university and you'll see what I mean. Maybe the gyros are better? There are a lot of 5 star reviews, not sure what I'm missing here.

Good solid gyro plate or sandwich. The chicken Shawerma looked great to. I just wish the had chicken kebab too.

Have to say I was not impressed at all.. Had a gyro and it was lukewarm at best. Not enough tziki sauce on it and only like 2 small strands of onion. I love a good gyro, and this is not the place to go for one. I also didn't find it to be very clean either.

Koshari... this is Egypt in a bowl. This is spot on, close my eyes and I'm back in Egypt.
(5)Chris C.
Wow, really impressed! Decided to go after reading all of the positive reviews. The chicken shawarma was amazing topped off with the babaganoosh dip. YUM! Convenient, fast, friendly, and high quality.

I was looking for a Greek place that were actually serving rice and came across this hidden gem! I've been here a few times and never been disappointed, the plate with salad and rice is a great amount of food with a fountain drink and a pita. If I could eat here everyday I would!

I stopped here after reading some great reviews on Yelp - and was not disappointed! It's a small shop tucked into a nondescript strip mall. The place is clean, but don't come here for the atmosphere, come for the food! The menu has so many choices! The staff is very helpful, and you can sample things to help decide what to order. I've been here several times, and everything I've tried has been great. The vegan Koshari was flavorful, although with lots of rice and macaroni it has a lot of carbs. But the taste was amazing! I also enjoyed the Chicken Shawrma Plate and the Greek Salad with Gyro Meat. Many of their selections come with a side of hummus, and I love love the Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus! Last time an employee gave me a sample of the Spicy Babaganoush and it was outstanding, too. I'll be getting that next time. So ya, I like this place for the service and the food. Highly Recommended!

Wow! The first time i came to find out about this place was through my sibling. She one day came to the office, opened a take away box and the aroma of the food she had, made the whole office say" That smells amazing delicious, what is that!? ".lol. That's when she had mentioned Tzikiis. A place located on priest, just a little off the 1-10. It's a small place but the good food is what makes it BIG. This definitely a go to place for Mediterranean gyros and salads.

Got the gyro and beef pitas and they were delish, but I really can't stand that their system automatically asks for a tip when you use a card to pay! And the tip starts at 18%! I felt too guilty to tap "no tip" so there went my dessert. If you have my problem, pay in cash. I doubt they will ask you for a tip then... Or will they?

Not a fan, I was thinking of just going over to Pita Jungle for a salad but saw this place on my yelp. Decided to try it out. Right after I seen him making the salad I knew that I probably was not going to be a big fan. Their chicken was so salty, didn't enjoy the flavor, and the salad did not even include to much of the greens, total joke for almost a $10 salad. Do yourself the favor and avoid this place and all the salt.

We came here on a whim because we had no idea what else we wanted for lunch. The gyros were, I think, better than Niros Gyros. Their portions are huge and everything is really tasty. I liked trying the different hummus's and the baba ganoush. The owner was really cool. He let us try a sample of the cucumber lemonade. Wow that stuff is amazing!! The only disappointing things were my boyfriend wanted fries and they were out and the prices were very high for a fast food type joint. We'd come back for sure next time we're in the area but I hippie they would let their prices a bit. That would be the only reason we might pass on them if we didn't feel like spending that much.
(4)Tommy N.
Very surprised on the decor if the food! Very inviting to where is looks great and taste great! The Beef Shawarma with the bomb!!! Highly recommend!!!
(4)Andrew L.
Haven't had a great tasting Gyro in a long time. This restaurant sure did fulfill every aspect in serving a meaty Gyro just the way I like it . Eight Ounces of meat balanced with Tzikii sauce, lettuce and cucumbers rolled up in pita bread. I had a basket of fries as a side nothing spectacular about them. Welcoming service starting with greeting to checking on you of how the food taste. Suitable for children, families and small groups.
(4)David P.
Great place. Lot's of variety Excellent food!!!
(5)Bill P.
I've been here a few times and each time I've gotten the Gyro, which is really good... But this time I got the Falafel Pita... YES! Delicious! Great crunchy exterior, moist inside. Just wonderful! So far, I've never had anything I didn't love here.
(5)Erik P.
The food here was fantastic.... not expensive and totally full of flavor. Cost: Really inexpensive. Lunch for two was $16. Food: Some of the best Mediterranean I've had. Only Princess is better from what I've had. Extremely flavorful... especially the spicy babaganoush sauce. Service: People that worked there were nice enough and checked to make sure the food was acceptable for us, which is pretty unusual for a fast-food style restaurant. Ambiance: a bit on the plain/utilitarian side... about what you'd expect for a non-chain fast-food type of establishment. Overall: A bit of a drive for me but I'll be back for sure. The atmosphere is lacking, but as expected for the type of restaurant that it is.

I came here before heading to IKEA one day because we were so hungry and this was one of the places that was rated well on Yelp and was close by. I should have read the previous reviews before coming here because several people have mentioned that their food was salty. Well I didn't realize until only after I have ordered my food and sat down waiting, reading the reviews on their food thinking "oh great, our food is going to be salty!" I ordered the chicken swarma plate with rice, salad, cilantro hummus and pita bread and my fiance ordered the gyro plate with rice, salad, pita chips and some other sauce (forgot the name). Well, I took a bite out of a small piece of chicken by itself and OMG that thing is loaded with salt! I tried a piece of gyro which was not as bad as the chicken but still it's pretty salty if you ask me. I had to make sure I was balancing it out with more hummus and salad when I was eating the salty chicken so it would be more tolerable. Everything else that came with the plate wasn't so bad but it's just the meat that kinda gets at you. Anyways the first 10 minutes of walking around at IKEA and through the whole night, we were pretty much dehydrated and dying of thirst. I would only recommend this place if you really really really really really enjoy salty foods.

I've been coming here for a few months now, several times a month (sometimes twice a week since they are so close!). I love the small, cozy seating and the food is always so good. Depending on who made the food that day though, it could be different, but it's always good. Sometimes they don't have the coconut chicken I love, but they accommodate by making a batch for me. Great for a quick lunch or dinner!

First time here and when I am back in the area I will be sure to visit again for the Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus!! Oh my goodness it is soooo delicious! I ordered with falafel plate with salad and 2 dipping sauces, one of which I already named, and did I mention it was freaking fantastic? It is! I also got the regular baba ganoush, they didn't have the spicy today :( so only 4 stars. The regular was still good and had a hint of a smoky flavor. The rest of the plate consisted of 3 falafel patties sitting on a fresh chopped garden salad. They were average sized, crispy and flavorful. The salad was a little heavy on the red onions but I prolly should've request easy onions. Still very fresh and tasty. The service was great and prompt. Thumbs up and I'll see you all again soon!!
(4)Kathy R.
Excellent experience! Delicious marinated chicken and fresh ingredients in the chicken bowl. Prices are very reasonable for fresh high-quality food. Service was prompt and friendly. We will definitely be back! Thanks!!!

This section of Tempe has received a glut of Greek restaurants in the past year. Within a 2 mile radius there's Niro's, Mika's, Café Greco and one other I can't remember the name of. This place is clean and the staff is friendly but all of their food is already precooked and waiting for you in hotel pans. Which is great if you're on the go, but if you like the taste of gyro cut right off of the spit as you wait then this isn't your place. I'll go back and try and try some of items before I make any final decisions. This place is a little hard to find so look next to the T-Mobile behind the gas station.
(3)Ashley W.
I had the gyro and shawarma over rice pilaf, with a Greek salad, tzaziki and hummus, AND a fresh hot pita on the side. Every element of the meal was great. I ate everything on my plate (minus the olives. Devils fruit it is). I recommend this place so hard. It's homemade style, not mass produced flavor like some other places in the area. The staff is also friendly and accommodating. Say "Hi" to Mino, the owner, if he's in!

Yet another highly rated review of a Greek/Mediterranean restaurant establishment I am composing, and I'm fearful of the loss of credibility this may ignite. HOWEVER, the stars bestowed here are not in vain or exaggerated. I hope a few specific examples may help me show this. Do you like seeing your food made in front of you? I most surely do, and you can expect that here. :) Do you want your food fresh and made to order? What? A rhetorical question you say with an obvious response? Yes-guilty as charged. Fresh food and quality can be expected too, so let me just come right out and say it. Now, going back to something I touched on earlier -because I'm ADD and love to jump around paragraphs at random-I must address something about this type of restaurant. It is true that I have really been enjoying a lot of gyros and pitas lately, but HOOOOLD UP! STOP! Take a walk outside this place, turn around, and look to your right. Is that a hookah lounge?!! YES. :) So what makes this place even better, is that there is a hookah lounge (same owners) next door that is a supplemental concept to the great food at the restaurant, and you can eat the food here and more! More as in enjoying the plush seats and relaxing atmosphere after a stressful week, and the comfort of the other neighborly, friendly patrons. I'm really not doing this place justice. You just have to go. It's very unique, and I drive all over Arizona for work daily, and this is like nothing I've seen out in our beautiful state. Support a great local business please, and give this place a shot. Did I mention a lot of the food selections are healthy? Yep. These folks know what they are done are doing :)

Excellent food and very friendly and caring staff. We found this place accidentally and were very happy to have found such a wonderful place. The chicken Showarma was the best I have had. Unlike the other places, chicken was juicy and the saffron rice was excellent. The Cucumber lemonade is unique and refreshing. I will be back to try their other items on the menu.
(5)Tara R.
The chicken shawarma was very flavorful and they have a variety of hummus flavors!! The cilantro jalapeño hummus is tasty! :)
(4)Azmom L.
Great price, the food was amazing! Thank you!
(4)Peter V.
First time. Got the gyro salad, extra feta, extra tzatziki. Highly recommend. Not many seats, but no problem this sat afternoon.
(5)LunaRay B.
Love, love, LOVE the food here! From the hummus (jalapeño/cilantro, chipotle both very flavorful and user friendly heatwise), cucumber slices and pita to the gyro and chicken shwarma. Nothing is dull for your mouth. Cucumber lemonade also should not be missed. Surprise, all you nutella fans: it's in the baklava :) Stellar service every time even if they are rushed. Guys: for real... You won't be sorry.
(5)Mark B.
My awesome wife and I decided to try this place. She got the chicken Schwarma salad. I decided to get the Gyro plate. I'll admit I was a little bit hesitant. I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk a bad meal at a small restaurant I had never heard of. No problems here! Both of us got great food. The portion sizes were really good. My wife is very picky with the quality of chicken and she loved it. They even gave her a sample to make sure she liked it and they even have diet Dr. Pepper, her favorite. The value was excellent. We will definitely be back.
