Grape Leaves Restaurant

Have had this a couple times already: take out for lunch and dinner and dine-in lunch. Each and every time was delicious. The service was quick and orders were complete. Our favorites are the grape leaves and shwarma. We've had sandwiches and family combos. Love the hummus: creamy and not overly salty. The shwarma whether chicken, beef or lamb was well seasoned and tender. Our last visit we went for dine in lunch and had the Turkish coffee which was spiced with some cardamom. We ordered a whole pot which served probably 6-8 shots of coffee in the traditional "espresso" cups. We were well caffeinated for the rest of our work day. The staff are attentive and the price is right. When we've done take out the order is always ready when we arrive. Can't beat the easy in and out location at Maple and Coolidge.

Labeb is an absolutely phenomenal waiter. Fantastic service, will come back to this restaurant and ask for him specifically, I recommend you do too.

I'm in town visiting my mom. My friend since high school lives across the street from this place. My mom loves my friend and wanted me take her out on her. We choose Grape Leaves because of convenience, but she also does carry out from here quite often. There were not many people in the restaurant and you could tell that they do a very good carry out business by the to go bags waiting on the counter. She had the shish tawook dinner (chicken) and I had a wrap with grape leaves, Jonas, and tabbouleh. It was like having a trio appetizer all in one, and it wasn't a bad concept. For just $7.50, I was only able to eat half, and had the other half for lunch the next day. My friend had leftover chicken too, which I took to my mom in her senior living place the next day. They did forget to take off the beets (on the receipt, but that's OK. MY mom likes beets!Overall, an enjoyable meal with a great friend.

This place was a welcomed surprise!Located in a non descriptive strip mall with plainly decorated interior. The food made up for it allLegitimate flavors and options abound in their menuI was extremely pleased. Prices are reasonable and the portions are enough for a full meal the following dayWill definitely be back next time I'm in town

Very friendly staff, great sit-down restaurant for middle eastern! The quality of the ingredients was also excellent.

I was craving a big salad and this place is close by and I was driving by so I decided to finally check it out. I ordered take out and got a small Greek salad amd lamb grape leaves (I can ALWAYS eat grape leaves ). Before I could even settle in my food was already ready! Awesome because I was starving! The grape leaves were nice and warm, although a little dry. The flavor was still pretty good. The 'small' salad is a pretty big size, I was pleasantly surprised! It's the BEST Greek salad I've had in a while! The dressing was the star, it was tangy and had great flavor woth herbs added, tastes like they make it in house. It was fresh and super crisp, I would just ask to add chickpeas and dressing on the side in case I can't finish it, as the salad came fully dressed. It was all served with their delicious warm, soft bread. My belly is full and I'm a happy girl! I'll definitely be back to try more!

Food was excellent, but unfortunately the service was bad. We had to seat ourselves which was fine but that meant the staff needed to be on it with noticing if you came in. They have a doorbell that constantly chimes every second the door is open which got annoying after a while. Once seated, our bread came out but with nothing to go with it, so we asked for garlic sauce (note it is an up-charge). Bread was hot out of the oven and delicious. I got lentil soup with my meal which was a bit bland flavor/spice-wise. I ordered the chicken shawarma with hommous which was excellent and in a humongous portion so leftovers were taken home. We did not see the server at all once we got our food. We ran out of water and could not wave anyone down to get a refill. We finally caught the eye of a staff member for boxes, water, and our check. He requested cash for the tip so I luckily had some on me but when he brought my credit card back, he didn't bring a pen to sign. Good luck flagging him down again...I happened to have a pen in my bag to use instead. They had people ordering take out all night so if we ever eat here again, we'll just do takeout since the service wasn't great.

Food wasn't very fresh, bread was stale and falafel was a little mushy. The flavors were good, but I'm not going to be back. Too many outstanding Mediterranean restaurants around that are superior.I might try again, hoping that they up their game.

I stopped in after shopping at Premier Pet in Troy. Honestly l didn't know this was here. I was going to get a carryout and continue with my day. As I got to the back of the restaurant, I decided to stay and have a bite. Walking to the back, looking at the orders on the other diners tables, I was impressed. As I passed by the diners,I asked how the food was. The answer I got every time was Great with a big smile.The serving sizes are plentiful, the hummus looks smooth and creamy, the sandwiches are a nice size. I ordered a Fattoush salad with chicken shawarma (minus the toasted bread). The chicken isn't heavily spiced, just enough. The salad tastes fresh with just the right amount of lemon. I'm Lebanese, very picky when it comes to Mediterranean restaurants. I look forward to coming with friends and family, it's a great way to sample the menu.

I have been a customer of Grape Leaves for more than 25 years. Lately they have scrimped on the feta cheese on their salads. It is not worth it! Yes- I will confront them. I am just making people aware. From here on I will look at the salad before I pay for it.
