The Desert Inn

First visit in more than 10 years and it seems the place has not changed that much. There were four of us - one ordered a beef kabob, one a lamb kabob and two of us ordered a chicken kabob. Two had soft drinks and two had water. We were pleased with the family style sides of salad, potato wedges, rice and bread. The person ordering the lamb had never had lamb before, so his review is not meaningful, though he said it was OK. The beef kabob was very good. Both ordering the chicken had the same opinion--the chicken and vegetables were overcooked, and the chicken was dry. Service was attentive and the server was helpful. There was a $3.00 upcharge for using a card. Total bill without tip was about $111.00 and change. It is a different type of place and worth a visit but will not be a go-to place for us.

Loved eating here! Wasn't sure if we would be able to get in, because it was a Saturday night and we didn't have a reservation. Since it was later in the evening, 8:30 pm, we were able to get in with no problem. Staff was super nice and helpful. Very attentive. The food was delicious! The meat on the kebabs was tender, cooked to order and seasoned perfectly for Mediterranean food. Portions were substantial. Enjoyed how the food was served too. Comes on a platter with rice, potatoes, salad, and rolls. Save room for dessert! Come hungry and enjoy the tasty food adventure here!

Amazing food. Huge portions. Great service. I recommend the lamb shank, delicious moist and better than any other I have ever eaten.

Awesome service very clean. Great tasting food. This place has been a staple in the area for years. It's a must. You can't get enough of the salad.

Consistently superb. Love this place and their staff. Kabob, prime rib, family style. Don't sleep on the egg rolls and get extra tzatziki to dip your potatoes in. Dirty Mother for dessert.

Love, love, love this place! I've been coming here for over 30 years. They serve family style meals with your choice of protein. Choose from lamb, beef, filet, shrimp, prime rib or others. Your meat is prepared to order. Then everything is served family style on a large platter with amazing salad, rice pilaf, roasted potatoes and garlic bread. Yum Yum Yum! I know you'll come back again. And be sure to save room for their signature dessert cocktail "Dirty Mother". Desert Inn is family owned with amazing food and incredible service. I highly recommend you make reservations in advance. Enjoy!

Don't be scared off by the sketchy locale. This place is an incredible dining experience. The ambiance is so interesting. Great service... correction the service was outstanding. This was our first time and the waitress was patient with us, also kind of excited for us to be here. We got the chicken kabob. The meat was seasoned to perfection, with just the right char. So tender. The salad was beyond exceptions. Beside the chicken it was my favorite offering. Really everything was just right. What a treat. Can't believe I waited so long to try this place. We WILL be back... also, it's very reasonable price wise. Desert Inn thank you for making the night memorable

Very outstanding food. I had the filet and lobster tail. The steak was at least as good as I would cook for myself at home (which says a lot! I have some skills!). The lobster tail was the best I've ever eaten. It was perfectly cooked and came right out of the shell. My daughter had the orange roughy, and it was also the best I've ever had. The Grecian salad was excellent and I'm sure the dressing was made from scratch. Syrian rice was similar to other Middle-Eastern rice dishes I've had, but something made it a little different. It was very tasty! My wife had a blueberry martini which was great. I went with a signature desert lemonade mixed drink along with another drink made with bourbon, ginger and apple. Those were stellar tooOur server was Joe. He provided great service, and we'll definitely be returning.

Always my favorite. We Had company in from out of town so I ordered multiple meals of the kabobs salad rice potatoes and garlic breadDessert inn did not disappoint. Plenty of food and everyone raved about it.

We have always loved the food & ambience at Desert Inn. A Canton, Ohio staple that has been serving delicious food for over 50 years. The portions are huge. Best Prime Rib around. I love to mix the salad & the rice together. If you have room for dessert, the "Dirty Mother" is the BEST after dinner treat!
