Levant Cafe & Grill

This is another one of those places that I have been 1 million times and it was one of my favorites and then I look and can't believe I have never written a review. We shouldn't take having a restaurant like this in town for granted, the flavors are spectacular.I like getting the mixed shawarma plate, and the Syrian moussaka is an absolute must, the best I have ever had. Good luck limiting yourself to just two sides, I usually add one, it's four or five bucks and totally worth it. And besides, this is at least two or three meals' worth of food you're getting.They're always super nice and will explain anything that you have questions about. They went through an ownership change not long ago and haven't missed a beat.Pro tip: they have Jamaica drink, which is super fun and delicious, we get it every time.

My co-workers and I came here for lunch one day from our training. We like to try out different types of food and saw this place on our radar.When we came it wasn't too busy, the food was amazing, but certain parts of the entree kind of hit your taste buds in a surprising way.Some of the people in my group said their meals were not warm, but I am not sure if the food was supposed to be served that way or not.The whole restaurant is gorgeous inside and has the middle eastern feeling.The staff were very nice and attentive to our needs. Their lemon mint tea is a must try. I really enjoyed the flavor.

Had the levant shawarma with two sides (hummus and potatoes), a chicken shawarma and a kid's meal.One of the worst beef&lamb. From the first bite, it was chewy meat and chunks of fat.The only decent thing was the pita bread on the side.And a regular hummus.Also, worth a mention is how terrible the garlic sauce on the side of the chicken shawarma was.Took it right off my bookmarks and never stepping in here again.Ambience is fine and you order and take a seat and they get your food to you.

it was my first time visiting and the staff was so friendly and patient. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted for the mezze plate, and the staff explained all the food items and made great selections. everything was so delicious! I'm definitely going back soon!

The young man who waited on me was very quiet. I looked through the glass at a lot of options to be honest the thing that I didn't like about Levant is that everything is premade I ordered some items and made up my own rice bowl. It was OK.The thing that really upset me is that the young man who waited on me was over by the drink counter, spraying bug spray. That makes me wonder if they spray it behind the food counter, I've not known bugs to be very selective as to wherethey choose to go . I'm really sorry to have to leave this information as I tried diligently to be very positive and find the best about every location that I frequent .

I have ordered from this place so many times and the food has always been great .. bursting with flavors ! The staff is great and helpful in recommendations ! It's a beautiful cafe feel restaurant which has a charming and relaxed atmosphere, which makes it a nice spot to unwind or catch up with friends. The interior is cozy, with a casual vibe that fits well with the local scene.Their menu offers a wide range of options, from chef's specials to bowls or make your own ! I have tried the falafel bowl with different options, stuffed pita. Always love their 2 breads(red and green one) Food is always enjoyable . The flavors are good, but the portion sizes are quit small for a bowl for the price ! Overall a place I always can go back to for my Mediterranean cravings ! Enough parking in the complex !

Fantastic food and service! We love the kofta and schwarma plates. Fresh ingredients and very nice people. A favorite of ours for Mediterranean foods.

Jordanian bread and yellow rice excellent. Employee wonderful customer service. I amVegetarian and there is many options here. The falafel is perfectly cooked. Every item seasoned perfect

We love middle eastern food, and we had seen good reviews and were in the area, so we thought we'd check it out. I was overwhelmed with mouthwatering choices displayed the line at the front. My husband got the gyro plate and I got the mezze plate since I couldn't make a choice, which worked out well. I ended up choosing rice, roasted veggies, seasoned potatoes, roasted eggplant and cauliflower, chickpea salad and Lebanese salad. We also got hummus and pita. The person serving us was helpful and patient while I decided, and the food was so good! I loved the hot pita, the fresh and flavorful chickpea salad, and the eggplant roasted and seasoned to perfection. Really, everything we tried was delicious. The restaurant was nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience and we will be back soon!

The interior of Levant is quite cozy and inviting; with plenty of seating, it is spacious, clean, and well-lit. The layout makes sense for this counter serve restaurant. When you enter through the glass doors, you'll naturally gravitate towards your left where they display their menu over a refrigerated beverage case.If it's your first time here, you might ponder what to order from what seems to be a reasonably large number of choices. To simplify, they have at least 18 "sides" to choose from, and at least 6 "mains". You combine these into entrees, plates, bowls, salads, or stuffed pitas. An entree is a main with two sides and a pita. A bowl consists of a carbohydrate base, a main, and 4 toppings, and is smaller is size than an entree. You can put mains on top of salads, and you can also order individual portions of mains. You state what you want, move down the line, and pay at the register. Beverage dispensers, napkins, and silverware are located after the register. You pick a place to sit, and they'll bring your order over to you.I've eaten here and also ordered takeout from this establishment numerous times. From their meats, I've had their Chicken Taouk (marinate chicken shish kebabs), Levant Shawarma, and Chicken Shawarma.My favorite is their Chicken Taouk. It's hot, juicy, and tender, and has a nice flavor. The downside is that it tends have plenty of charred / burnt edges.I don't find their shawarmas very compelling. They are just not very flavorful. Also, for some reason I prefer their chicken shawarma to their Levant shawarma (which is a combo of beef and lamb). Even though they dress their shawarmas, they are still, frankly, quite bland.From their sides, I like their majadara (bulgur & lentils) preparation, their tabbouleh (lemon juice makes it bright, but others might not appreciate the sourness), moshuasha (chickpeas, fava beans, tahini), moussaka, and potatoes. Their babaganoush is pleasant, but it lacks smokiness. Their cabbage is, well, seasoned raw cabbage. Their stuffed grape leaves left a bit to be desired.Finally, if you are deciding between dining at the restaurant vs getting takeout, and you are concerned about portion sizes, definitely dine in. Their takeout portions are noticeably smaller compared to when you eat in, especially for "entrees". One exception is their mezze plate (6 sides), which is approximately the same size whether you eat in or take out.
