"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!"

"This restaurant and the gyro platter has been on my mind every day. It has left me with such an impression. My friend recommended this place while I was in town and I was blown away by the authenticity and flavors of the menu! The platter had a variety of items- pita bread, hummus, Greek salad, beef slices, and Tzatziki sauce. I finished the whole meal- I definitely could eat it all day, every day. The staff were friendly & attentive. I wish I had a place as good as this back home!"
"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."

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.

Excellent Greek restaurant on the old 4th street district! We were looking for healthy salad place and this one caught our eye and it did not disappoint! Before we even ordered, the server brought a plate of pita breads, yogurt and hummus spread with sliced cucumbers. Then we ordered grilled octopus (appetizer), Horiatiki salad (aka quintessential Greek salad), and combo platter (gyro and beef). The portions are HUGE! The appetizer is the size of an entree and the octopus is very tender and flavorful (cooked in wine and herb). I also love my Greek salad as it strikes a great balance of refreshing and flavorful (from sweet onions and feta cheese). I just wish they could add olive oil not the salad though. All the servers are very tentative. Restaurant has many Greek paintings and statues as decorations. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes Mediterranean food!

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!

Food service ambience. It's got it all! I tried the mushroom pita this time. Excellent! Looks like they're going to be part of the new complex being constructed. See my photo.

"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've been back a few times since my initial review and this place has grown on me! My 5 year old and husband would easily give this place 5 stars so I'll round up for them even though I'm more a 4.5. I don't love their dolmas or spanakopita, but their salads and gyros are so amazing! My husband ordered the pork chop once and it was cooked perfectly with a generous portion. Our family will definitely continue to come back and try more of their menu."
"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!!"
"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"
"I really liked my gyro sandwich, fries, and the fattoush salad. The salad was a lot bigger than expected so I had a good amount of leftovers. The gyro meat was tender and well seasoned and the fries were hot, crispy and not greasy. The salad was fresh, all I needed was some tzatziki for the pita pieces.On the night that I went, there was only one person working the grill and one person fulfilling the rest of the orders, so we waited a bit to order as well as receive the food."
"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)."
"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!"
