"Great place to have some delicious food, and then shop for some goodies to bring home. Had a mezze sampler, and beef shwarma. Mezze included generous portions of bannaganoush, hummus, dolmathes and the white sauce like tzatziki. Plenty of pita bread to scoop with.My schwarma was delicious, and ample. Had to share the mezze plate, can't eat that much anymore.Counter order, friendly guys, they bring to the table, in our case, quickly.The store is so stocked with everything one needs to cook middle eastern at home. Clean store. Will be returning."

"Hubs and I worked up an appetite after watching a movie nearby. We decided to check out Phoenicia Cafe. We were greeted and seated right away. The space itself is quite spacious and bright, with plenty of available seating.We ordered the following:Arabic coffee $4.99Shrimp ghallaba $18.99Gyros pita $10.99Baklava $2.99The coffee was fantastic. It was strong and unique. I really liked it. My entrée was the shrimp ghallaba which had shrimp, peppers, onions, tomatoes, carrots and rice and hummus. It was flavorful. The portion was quite generous, and I had to take some of it to-go. Hubs had the gyro and he said it was okay. Before leaving, I just had to try the baklava - we ordered it to-go and proceeded to eat it in the car on the way home. It was delicious! In fact, we wished we had ordered two!"
"You have to try this place to believe it.Family owned and operated , great local restaurant that serves the freshest and tastiest shawarmas.They also have a cute patio.Service is warm and friendly.Love the gyros, souvlaki, Baba ganoush, Greek fries.I'm a fan of the secret shawarma sauce and tzatziki All the dips are full of flavor.Don't forget to grab some baklava for dessert.Cheers!"
"I went with the gyro and it was fantastic. The meat was flavorful and moist. The pita bread and sauce were very flavorful as well. My table was a little dirty from the previous guest so hopefully they can check the dining area more frequently in the future."
"Greek salads & gyros are our favorite here! Authentic Greek food. So yummy! Only complaint is you get a very small container of dressing for a large salad and to get a second small container, are $1 each. A little high for such a small amount. However it won't stop us from going back!!"
"I found Cafe Mix when lunch plans a friend suggested sounded bad (outdoor only when it was 119°), so said friend told me to suggest some other place in the area. I scoured the general area looking for restaurants. Cafe Mix fit both of our dietary requirements (hers vegetarian, mine omnivorous), and we both like Mediterranean food. So we met here. I arrived early, and I was hungry, so I ordered the dolmades. They were really good. Service was super fast.When my friend arrived, I got a gyro without onions. Everything was fantastic. Their hummus is good. I really liked the gyro meat.I can't say I'll be back because it was so far from where I live, and I have a Greek restaurant by me, but I do recommend coming here if you are in this area."
"We ate here the first night in the area. We had the basic gyros and the baklava. The gyros were priced similarly to most Greek restaurants. The size of the gyros was large. Definitely got our money's worth. The staff was ver personable. The restaurant is decorated in a modern vacation-like motif. Very clean. The baklava was decent. I'm not a connoisseur of baklava. We are in the area for the winter. We plan on visiting again soon."
"I eat here quite a bit with both family and colleagues. Nice casual atmosphere with good food and outdoor seating when the weather is right.The Avgolemono soup is fabulous. I'm trying to figure out how to replicate it at home because I love it. So bright and delicious.They also have a good selection of salads, bowls and classic Greek fare.The flaming cheese is fun and delicious as is the baklava cheesecake. Yum!I've always had good service and good experiences."
"Definitely a hidden gem! I actually peaked into the front of this place once before and thought it was just a store with decorations. I later found it in a search and wanted to check it out because of the extensive menu. So happy I tried it! The menu is HUGE! Seafood and pastas and meats and salads (19 different ones!) and pitas (25 different kinds!) and more. They also have an extensive wine and beer collection. It was totally empty when we went in on a Tuesday at 5:30. Both of our dishes were super good. Really amazing flavors and fresh. The Salmon La Scala had a great dill flavor and the Lemon Cilantro Linguini was soo lemony, just like I like it! I will definitely be going back to try more dishes!!"

Ordered pick up via DoorDash and food was ready at the expected time! Located in a small plaza and is split between a market and restaurant in the same space. Very casual and low key. Friendly service.Got the kabab combo and the meats were all tender and great. Some pieces of chicken were dry but others good. Big portion for 1 so could be 1.5 or 2 meals for some. Rice was nice and fluffy. Wish pita was thicker and softer. Arabic salad and hummus were delicious.Good option if you're nearby. Not my fave for middle eastern food in town but close second!

Our neighbors recently introduced us to Phoenicia Cafe, and it has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants!! The space itself is small, but there is a variety of seating inside, as well as a few small tables outside. Service has been excellent both times we have dined in. We started with the hummus and pita for an appetizer - it's so yummy!! We usually end up taking some home with us. The small portion is definitely enough for 2-4 people. For this trip, we dined in on a Saturday evening. My husband and I split the Greek fries - gyro meat, fries, onions, tomatoes, feta, and tzatziki. They are AMAZING. We love them. It was plenty of enough food for us to split. We did, of course, buy some baklava for us to take home too!!I'm not sure if I'll try something new on the menu next time we come in, or if I'll stick with the Greek fries because of how much I love them!!

This remains a hidden gem of Chandler for me as the food is ALWAYS solid, customer service is great, and if it's not so hot, the patio is the ideal spot to enjoy your lunch. Always look at the specials as they offer a nice twist. This time around it was lamp chops so a few of us jumped on them. They were excellent & the portions didn't disappoint. Good food, another great experience, and will continue to return.

This Chicago-style Gyros shop is pretty good, considering. Their extensive menu items are deceiving when compared to the bare and simple design layout of the shop! I found their meals tasty and worthy of the price scheme they approach. Meats tasty, hummus very good, salads up to par. But I am not convinced of their method or process of serving the tasty morsels offered. Everything is served on a take-away ideal and every item apparently comes separately portioned and the slices of meat appear prepared earlier (how earlier who knows), and seem to have been uniformly pre-cut, therefore you do not see the meats on a traditional spit. This makes me slightly uncomfortable, assessing the freshness of the product is difficult. Although it's not bad, I don't think Pita Jungle has any competition here!

This place has great baklava! The dining area is clean and more spacious and bright. This is a family run business with the couple working and trying to keep up with a steady lunch crowd. While I was there, I saw a large catered business lunch pick up, a few work lunch groups, regulars and a steady pick up of Uber eats. The owners might not overwhelm you with friendly customer service, but they are busy working on orders, serving tables, cleaning tables, and handling the volume of orders. The menu is fairly priced and served on real plates. They have a nice selection of drinks with ice teas and red cream soda. We had the chicken Shawarma and Philly steak sandwich combos. Each combo arrived with a bountiful salad. The pitas were soft and warm.The chicken Shawarma could use a bit more tzatziki (available for $1) but had a generous portion of chicken. The Philly was a simple steak sandwich and contained meat, peppers, and onions. I highly recommend this restaurant and will return .

My son and I visited on Thursday. I rarely go to lunch. We were celebrating. He loves Greek and I'd been eyeing this spot when in the area. We didn't have to wait long to place the order. They have plenty of seating. We were served quickly. My son scarfed his down and said he enjoyed the meal. I was able to eat mine for lunch and dinner. My only complaint was I wish there had been more than one olive in my Greek salad. I wish there would've been baklava or some other Greek desserts available, too. Food was good, prices are reasonable, and the restaurant was clean.

Excellent Mediterranean fare. Pricing is a little high, but the servings are huge. Everything was hot and fresh. Falafel came with tzatziki, but would've preferred tahini as a choice. We'll definitely be returning often!

"This is one of the nicer fast casual places to eat in the Tempe Marketplace food court area. The food court is located right next to Harkins Movie Theatres. It's All Greek to Me has a variety of Greek dishes to choose from. Menu consist of Greek favorites like Hummus, Shawarma, Falafel, Kufta and Gyro. Pick a protein and make it a wrap or plate. Make it a combo and get more than one item. They will even put your protein on top of hummus with a pita. I got the Beef Gyro Bowl and appreciated all the meat that they piled on my bowl."
"Came in to this place for lunch and work- which was great because they had wifi. The place itself is decorated with middle eastern vibes/modern- cute. The place wasn't super busy and the service by the man at the front was kind and tentative. I ordered a platter to try a couple of things and I was very happy with it. The meat was cooked just right- not over done or anything"
"Love the Greek food at this restaurant! The gyros are cooked perfectly. Nice and thin and a little crispy on the edges. Can't wait to go back.!"
"I've eaten inside Athena Pita 4 times so far, always combo #1 of gyro, fries, and a drink. Have zero complaints. The counter staff is always friendly and speedy. The food comes out hot and tasty. Their fries are to die for- so crispy!Seems like the poor reviews are coming from folks who used delivery services. Just go and eat there! This type of food doesn't travel well."
"Okay this review update is to help my future self! Yes we conquered yet again. We are that crazy to drive all the way from Surprise to get a salad from here! One of mine and my mom's favorite places to go!Customer service was awesome once again. You can see they really try hard. We realized after this second visit it is their sweet tasting balsamic vinegar dressing that makes their salads the bomb! So, note to self: arugula salad with balsamic dressing for me, for mom: cobb salad minus the corn and also balsamic dressing! It was funny to see as we too joined in on the adventure with many others picking up salads on how to get our salads by dropping one of us off at the door and driving around the block for a quick swoop to save $4.00 on parking for a well worth it salad. I don't mind at all, but my mom just can't get past it. Many food service drivers were parking right in front under the no stopping here sign. Haha I picked up my mom playing Judas Priest (Breaking the law). If this place ever has issues with foot traffic, do not close just relocate!"
"This is a DIVE, only one table outside, wild dogs running around and a drive through liquor store next door, can't get any more "whole in the wall" than this. The food is great so don't be intimidated by the location of this place. Everything is fresh and made to order. The gyro plate is outstanding.Parking may be tricky but again the food is great."
"We've eaten at The Great Greek Mediterranean restaurant a few times now and have done both carry out and dine-in. The restaurant always appears very clean and everyone has been very friendly.I've had a variety of items now including the chicken skewers, shrimp skewers, rice, feta fries, Greek salad, etc. my husband has also gotten the gyro sandwich. The food is where I feel like they lose points .. shrimp wasn't super flavorful, chicken was just okay. While unique, the feta fries were bland but also a bit dry. The gyros sandwich was pretty good; I did like the rice. If I return, I'll be sticking to chicken (maybe gyros) & rice. I haven't tried the falafel yet.Overall, the regular items weren't too wow-worthy. If you're going, keep in mind prices are high ($18 for a plate with chicken & sides)."
"Not too sure what to think about this place the Greek restaurant trying to be fine dining maybe 20 years ago it was but today standards not really the prices are not too bad until you get them the portion sizes are super small so it's and you really paying double the price because of this start off with the hummus very small portion literally it's like 3 tablespoons and two pieces of bread we have to order more bread and whatever they charge you the flavor was pretty plain who didn't have their pomegranate sauce on it it would have been really Bland I got some lamb dish can't remember the name of it but basically was lamb rice and tomato sauce pretty small Ramekin that was okay I like the lamb it wasn't too gamey the rice with it was cooked perfectly but not a whole lot of flavored and flavors what you expect from Greek food or any foods in the Middle East lots of spices in oil always fantastic but they missed it here maybe they're trying me to Americanized not sure so after hummus and the lamb dish I was still hungry was going to get a dessert baklava until they told me that $6 price for one triangle so it half a piece of baklava one bite I guess not server is pretty cool though laid back met some good recommendations few things you told me not to get but overall it was okay may try it again in the future not sure yet"
"Took a chance on these guys cuz they were close to the hotel, and I was not disappointed!! Cheap, quick, and tasty....that's pretty much it. I ordered pasta and wings the first time and didn't get to take a picture, but they were great! This time I ordered the 12" pie and the cheesy garlic knots.I went through UberEats but still and it took all but 15 minutes, the order was complete within 10 minutes so if you're doing carry-out or dine-in, I'm sure you will get your food just as fast. Good quality, fast service, great prices! I will continue to support these guys when I work in PHX. Def recommend!"
"Stopped by here randomly while waiting for a work appointment, and I got their Gyro wrap with some fries. The fries were very good but the gyro was one of the best I've ever had!! Highly recommend the gyro wrap. The place seemed clean and the seating is nice. The service was good too, very friendly :)"
"Such a cute place! I ordered the Vegan Wrap and it was really good. Big portion size and lots of fresh ingredients. I thought it was a tad dry, so next time I'll ask for extra dressing or hummus. Looking forward to trying all the vegan options!"
"I've biked through here several times and stopped for lunch and this by far is one of my favorite little spots over here on the ASU campus. I'd recommend the only time to drive is on the weekend as getting here and parking is a challenge... and I don't pay for parking. The staff has always been super friendly and I like that I get to customize my meal based on my mood at the time with ease. So I kept it simple for myself and went with a Greek salad and included a double side of meat on it of lamb and beef. I also decided to do the upgrade for the combo which I thought was a bit expensive but it included a beverage as well as another side salad for me. They gave me a 2nd bowl & surprised me by making it custom and combining it all so I had the "best of both worlds". Man let me tell ya, probably one of the best Gyro salads I've had in quite a long time. In addition to the Gyro salad we also we also grabbed 2 Street Cart wraps loaded as combos with fries. If you're driving by car, you are going to have to park on the backside and enter off rural off the side like you're going to the pickleball tennis courts & wrap around. Will definitely return back again as the healthy option is great."
"I am glad I decided to eat the food at NK Gyros! I stopped by and was greeted by Athena who was welcoming and friendly! She recommended that I go for a combo meal which was less than buying each food item separately. I took her advice and ordered a Gyro sandwich with a small Greek salad and lemonade. I must say the Gyro sandwich was DELICIOUS and was very stuffed! The combo meal was worth the money, however, it was Athena's wonderful and amazing customer service that was priceless. I HIGHLY recommend this Greek restaurant it's worth the money and the friendly service is hard to come by!"
"The name of this place reminds me of the character Nick from the movie Bachelor Party, but the food here bears no resemblance. I was staying at a hotel close-by and this was a quick, convenient lunch option. The lady who took my order was helpful and patient while I decided what I wanted. I was a bit hungry so she thought the platter was the better option. She also didn't make fun of me when I pronounced it Gyro and she said Gyro.The Gyro (or Gyro) platter was pretty big. There was a lot of meat which had some crispy edges and was delicious. There was plenty of rice (I chose that over fries). The lettuce, tomatoes and red onions were all fresh and delicious too. The small salad even had 2 Greek olives.It could have come with more Tzatziki, but they always could use more so I ordered an extra one. It think it was only 0.50 too which is a plus. I should have asked for extra olives too, but didn't know they had any!It was a lot of food and I didn't finish it all, even though I was super hungry when I got there. Soda pop refills were free which was good on a hot afternoon (108 or so). I'd go here again if I wanted a gyro, but there are a lot of other choices around too."
"Great food, great people. I am glad I gave this place a try. I've ate the greek platter, chicken focacia, & California, Mexican burrito. All very delicious and plentiful. Really, really good salsa too. If your in the area deffinetly give them a try."
"Food was delish!!!! Usually basmati rice is plain, this rice was full of flavor. The gyro meat, Greek salad, pita bread, and tzatziki was all great!!!We ordered the gyro plate and souvlaki plate - at first it seemed overpriced until we got our orders. These include a LOT of food, well worth the price.I will say the chicken kabob was on the drier side, unfortunately just the nature of chicken. Would recommend dipping the chicken in a hot sauce or tzatziki.Store itself was very clean and modern!We will be back!"
"Great Food, had the Chicken Kebob for lunch with the greatest Potatoes I've ever had."
"Decent gyro on Apache in Tempe, I requested added something spicy on my gyro and they made it for me, very good. Nice people"
