"This place is located in a strip mall near the outlets and walking in, immediately the smells have your mouthwatering. The manager is very passionate and will help you with any suggestions for whatever mood you're in to eat. I wanted to get some tabbouleh but since it was after 6pm, he was sold out. Next time, I'll be back earlier since it's a popular menu item. Anyways, I went with the chicken shawarma wrap which is my personal favorite for a on the go meal. I did have to wait for a bit of time however I know that the wrap was freshly made. When I got to my car, I unwrapped my shawarma wrap - and the smells in my car! The chicken is marinated in herbs and spices and is topped with parsley, pickles, tahini and garlic sauce. The garlic sauce here is the star of the show. It's rich and creamy and compliments the tahini so well. The pita wrap is very fresh and soft when you bite into it. Then you have that bite of that crunchy pickle! The textures and flavors will dance on your taste buds when you eat here. I will have to stop by when they first open so I can get a variety of menu items to indulge in."
"Located in the heart of Maitland, just down the street from the Enzian. Doesn't look like much from the outside, one yelper described it as an old photo hut. Don't let that dissuade you though because really good mediterranean food can be had here. I came here after a doctors visit and opted for the salad bowl. My brother got the gyro, and we shared the fries and hummus sides. All the food had really good flavor, and not salty at all like you find in a lot of restaurants. Service was really great. There were two people inside the hut, both really nice. The guy offered us refills on our hibiscus drinks which were really good. I don't know how the visit could've been any better, would definitely come back."

"Quick service, quality food and nice portions. For 2 of us, $30 had us leaving stuffed. The food was of nice quality and good taste. We will return."
"We stopped here for lunch and decided to eat outside, as it was too beautiful to be indoors. There were some communication issues, as the waitress' English didn't seem to be too perficient, but we worked with it. Her enthusiasm, or lack thereof, for her position, was more of the concern. But again, it was a beautiful day, and we weren't in a rush.The menu options had me salivating. I admit, I was starving, but everything really did look so tasty. It was difficult for me to choose just one thing. We weren't disappointed. The food was fantastic!!! Portion sizes were also very generous, and the prices were reasonable. Definitely recommend this place for great food."
"Many have mentioned them as Orlando's best kept secret, and they definitely are! I've passed by the intersection of OBT and Sand Lake multiple times and never would I have thought this quaint restaurant would be there. It's been a while since I visited and never completed this review.We came at an awkward time for *linner* so the owner and chef were really attentive and took the time to serve and explain the dishes to us. We got plenty of appetizers instead and the chef kept bringing things out just for us to try.We got tabouleh, babaganoush, hummus, stuffed grape leaves, stuffed cabbage leaves, and an item we had to call ahead to make for us called Kibbeh Nayyeh which was the main reason we came there. It's a seasoned raw minced beef dish that's served with onions/cucumbers and is used to grab with pita. We were down to get dirty and everything was eaten with our hands (and the lovely owner showed us how it was really done). Definitely a nice hidden gem in the middle of all the touristy places in Orlando near the Florida Mall. Owners were down to earth and loved my meal completely more because she welcomed us in and made me feel like I was eating a home cooked meal with family. The place to go when you feel like trying something new and different and leaving with a full heart and stomach."
"One of the few favorites for everything! They have great food and amazing desserts. The service is always nice and the place is cozy and clean. Highly recommend this to anyone who loves to eat well and healthy and tasty. Just be sure to leave some of their amazing baklava for me!"
"This may be the best little hidden restaurant on Restaurant Row! I was welcomed warmly when I entered despite the near full dining room. I chose the Magical Dining menu and for my appetizer I opted for the safiha, little Lebanese meat pies full of spices- super yummy. For my main I chose the lamb chops which came with veggies (I asked for them to hold the carrots) and white rice. These were by far the most flavorful veggies I've ever had- the lamb chops were tasty but the veggies were the star for sure! I chose the baklava for my dessert and it wasn't as sweet as other ones I've had from Turkish restaurants. Originally my rice didn't come out with my dish but I simply asked the manager and he brought it right over."

I love shawarmas. My bf and I ordered one combo special beef shawarma and one chicken shawarma and we split half and half so we could try the two different meats. I'd say the chicken one tasted better because it was more juicy and tender.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. A parking lot gem. My workplace does birthday celebrations and the birthday person chooses where to have lunch from. So glad the person chose Mediterranean Street Food. It's conveniently located, right down the street from our office, prices were amazing, the service was so nice and they even included some birthday baklava in our order as a surprise. They are closed on certain days and I needed to place a large order so I reached on Instagram to give them a heads up. I got a prompt response telling me that my order would be ready for a 12pm pickup the next day. All the food was packaged well and all my coworkers were extremely happy with it. Many of whom have never eaten Mediterranean food before, dived into new lands of falafel, gyro meat, and falafel that day. Service at the small storefront was impeccable and organized, pushing out my large order while still serving the numerous customers at the seating area to the side. Would definitely do family platters for my workplace...maybe even a family platter for just myself. Must try: everything. Especially the baklava

Ahhhh I am in heaven. I wish I lived closer. The food is on point. I wanted one of everything on the menu but got the platter to try a little of each. They even sell really neat items to take home. Our server was great, inside is really neat looking. I cannot recommend this place enough. Cannot wait to go back.

I have lived/worked in the Dr. Phillips area for almost a decade and never went to Flame Kabob. My friend and I wanted a casual lunch to catch up and after looking at reviews we decided to come here. I am so glad we did, because our experience was great! The restaurant itself has ample parking and the indoor space is cozy and CLEAN. It was a little chilly in there so bring a jacket or light weight sweater. We were sat and greeted promptly and our server was very nice. We both got san peligro to drink and for appetizers we ordered a Greek salad and traditional hummus. The Greek salad was fresh and crisp and the hummus was super creamy and flavorful, served with a warm pita basket. I don't know what kind of olive oil they use but, I want to buy a bottle! Yum! For entrees my friend ordered the chicken gyro with feta added and I ordered the falafel sandwich with added tzatziki and feta cheese. The spices on the chicken were incredible and my falafel sandwich (to my surprise) was pressed and warm. The portions sizes were ginormous so I took half Togo. When our bill finally came we're shocked. Only $45 for the two of us. Point blank, great food, clean restaurant, kind and quick service and affordable. That's a win win in my book.

Yelp 100 Review Challenge 2017 45/100 I decided on this restaurant on the recommendation of The Yelp Reviews. It was my friend's birthday and we wanted to try someplace new and she wanted mediterranean food. When we walked in the restaurant was completely empty.... um ok? This was a little scary? Why wasn't it full with people drooling over the food like in the reviews. I almost thought about turning back. But we were invested. So we sat down and the lady who served us was also the owner and the cook! She was very sweet and spoke to us for a bit. We talked politics for a bit. She said she was proud to be an American citizen now and was looking forward to voting. She brought out warm pita bread and hummus. We ordered and everything was delicious. I ordered a simple grilled chicken salad and my friend ordered a chicken falafel. The restaurant is very spacious and would probably be great for large groups. The only weird thing was the bathroom. There were two toilets and only one door. No stall between..... awkward. Since there was no one in the restaurant I wasn't really worried but I locked the one door anyway. Lol

This restaurant smells amazing. All the workers are really nice. The only reason I'm giving a 4/5 is that my husband didn't feel good after he ate his shawarma platter. My friends ate here a few times when they were visiting and really loved all their food.

It was Christmas. Where to go? Asian? No Lebanese. Reservations were booked on Open Table. Cedars' wasn't busy when we arrived, but patrons began to arrive later. Service was slow at first. The server was not very attentive. The food was outstanding. Two people had the rack of lamb. They pronounced the lamb as "the best." Other orders were salmon, kabobs & vegetable platter.

"Avalon Pockets is always amazing. The serving sizes are massive and the flavor in everything is delicious. Their platters are easy to share and their pita and hummus are addictive. Their garlic sauce is intense and wonderful. You'll smell like garlic for days, but it's worth it. Quick service whether you dine in or get takeout. And they're always quick on uber eats and deliver solid portions then too! Inside is very casual. If you want delicious and flavorful food to fill you up - I highly recommend."
"This place is a must try! This restaurant was small and quiet, perfect for a nice family meal. I appreciated their patience with me as a first-timer; they were very friendly and willing to explain each item on the menu. The food came out quickly and tasted very fresh. The price was very reasonable given the large portions. Honestly, everything was delicious!! You can tell everything about this restaurant is authentic. I can't way to go back!"
"This restaurant is right across from the courthouse in DTO. It is clean and spacious. Staff is nice and helpful. Their food is delicious."
"I'm in Orlando for the Warrior Games 2024, staying at the Holiday Inn and Suites, on Regency Village Drive.Today, I ordered the Chicken Biryani and Chicken Tikka Leg Quarter through GrubHub. It was absolutely delicious."
"I like this location better! They gave me a decent amount of fries and hooked me up with hummus lol The girl with the black and red dreads was sweet and made my delicious food! This area is small both inside the restaurant and in the parking lot"
"The first thing that prompted this review was the pleasant welcoming smile and remeanor of Kaleo. Once he took my order, he suggested the perfect plate for my wife. He then brought the food to us. The food was great and fresh. Kaleo then proceeded to check on us twice, as it it were a full service restaurant. Great food, excellent service and good atmosphere."
"I was on the fence as the Yelp reviews are split, however I was impressed with the culture of the service and the hospitality I received. My server was from Bangladesh and had the sweetest most pleasant manner. She made my visit to Orlando memorable and I will definitely stop by again when in town."
"I checked out this restaurant when it was pretty new. I had heard great things about the Winter Springs location, so I was excited to have one close to my house. There is not another restaurant like this in the area, so it is a welcome addition. The staff was very welcoming and seemed excited to share their cuisine with my group. The baba ganoush was the best I've had and I really liked the multi grain pitas. I got the Heart of Jerusalem salad and it was massive and delicious. I really enjoyed the sage tea and the presentation was really nice. Baklava was also very yummy. Prices were reasonable and portions were big. We will definitely be back soon!"
"Ordered pick up for 4 people who were all very happy with their meals.I specifically had the veggie combo platter, which was absolutely wonderful. It also came with a side salad. Everything was super fresh. I would order this again!The only issue is one in the party ordered a soup, but they sent the salad for the side instead."
