👍👍 Lovely customer service, very patient and explained everything very well. Had a chance to speak with the Chef, he explained what was made in house which was nice touch to my first dining experience with them. The food itself was well executed with a good presentation, fantastic textures and flavors.... People often mention good, service, Mediterranean, great,

    Really amazing food, and honestly some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! I stopped in here for a quick lunch before a flight out of JAX, and it was more than worth the drive into the city. Eat here!!

    I liked this place a lot. The humus is one of the best, kibbies are awesome and the chicken skewers very good too. Shawarmas are 👍. I wish they have beef too skewers not only the ground beef ones. Bread should be hot, it was cold, still good.

    I usually don't write reviews, but I felt this place deserves recognition. This is the best Mediterranean food I have ever eaten! Every dish that I've tasted is so flavorful and delicious. I couldn't even believe the flavors I was tasting in each bite. The service is fantastic! Our server was very helpful and informative about the menu. He was also kind and on top of everything. The atmosphere is a nice, clean, and friendly environment. The decor is simple, yet elegant. They even played lovely music to enhance the ambiance. This is a hidden gem that is now my go to for Mediterranean cuisine. Compliments to the chef for such an amazing dining experience. If you are looking for a spot to have a nice time to enjoy good food and relax, look no further.

    Every meal here is delicious! Greek salad with chicken never disappoints. They have the best iced tea too!

    Excellent food. Friendly waiter. He had beautiful brown eyes. And when he took my order at my table, he sat down and I appreciated him speaking to me at eye level. I had the gyro with chicken and it was to die for. Very fresh. The cook was nice too and provided quick service.

    Was recommended to come here. Very clean, friendly fast service. The food is really good best hummus I had in awhile without me making it. Got the combo for two along with a large hummus. Will be coming back again. I will say the tea is something you will need to have the taste for different but good.

    I have passed by this place everyday for the last couple of years and never went in. Well I decided to stop by and what a wonderful surprise I got. The food, music and layout was very good. I just wish I hadn't waited so long before visiting. Will definitely be back again soon.

    Best Mediterranean I have ever had. I recommend the Wafaa shawarma platter with purple hummus and stuffed grape leaves. The chef has great personality and makes you feel right at home.

    Our family ate here today for the first time and the food was delicious and customer service was awesome. We enjoy dining at small family owned restaurants for this reason. We had the Gyro wrap, chicken kabobs, philly cheese steak sub, kids cheeseburger, and parmesan fries. If we are ever in this area, we will definitely stop here for lunch again as we now head back to South Carolina. Keep on cooking great food!

    We recently moved to the neighborhood, and have been fans of the food since we first tried it. It is some of the best Mediterranean food you will ever eat. But even more so, when we had an emergency situation arise at our home while eating lunch today, the owner Hussain and his employee Scott both stepped up to help us. We cannot thank both of you enough. You’re the heroes today in our book and we are so grateful for your help. 🙏🏻Thank you for the kindness and for showing us that good people exist. You have fans for life.

    The food was good. The building needs a little TLC. The gyro platter was tasty and hot. The accompanying Greek salad was ok. For a small place that did not have very many customers it took much longer than it should for a simple lunch.

    Greeted at the counter when I walked in and ordered the gyro and fries and was told 20 minute wait I said that's fine it just means it will be fresh and it was!

    I’ve been following Wafaa & Mike’s Cafe on IG for a long time and finally made it in to try some of their fabulous food! It did not disappoint. Their food was as good, if not better than what it looks like in photos. The gentleman who took my order was friendly and efficient. I loved the gyro platter w fries. Can’t wait to get back and try more!

    The food here is amazing! Was in the Jacksonville area for just a few days and the food is so good I had to go twice. Went with my family and the chef was very patient and kind to answer all the questions we had about the dishes, and offer suggestions. Not one of us was disappointed. We ordered some baklava to go because my family had never tried it before. Probably the best baklava I've ever had! I also recommend trying their iced tea. There's nothing else like it.

    All around amazing place and people. The owner was working the register when I picked up my to go order and I got to have a nice conversation with him about his Mediterranean roots and the history of the place. He even showed me photographs from when they first opened. I asked him so many questions, but he was happy to answer all of them. I came here in search of some good tabbouleh and he explained exactly how he makes it (hand chopped, no food processor). The food itself was delicious, beyond words. Perfect taste and texture.

    This place is a staple for those of us who work around Main Street. I always dig Greek food, and their chicken shawarma and falafel wraps are among the best I've had in town. Hummus is great. Turkish coffee is a must. The waitstaff is always super friendly. Highly recommend.

    Very casual place but service& food are amazing. We've only been on Sat afternoons but they always have a few specials. We always bring food home! They don't serve alcohol but there are 2 breweries blocks down the road.

    The plate was covered with rice, slices of red onion and something they cold food. It was meat covered with cream sauce. It was a waste of around $15. The grape leaves were okay. Never again. I was very disappointed. The 5 are always good.

    ❤️ the soft piano music makes for a great atmosphere and enhances the whole dining experience. The food platter for 2 has plenty of meat, falafels, grape leaves, tabouleh and hummus served with Pita bread. It is an awesome meal for a couple's date nite!

    I love this place! I work in Springfield and go here whenever I have an opportunity. I take all my meetings here. It’s a great place to have a quiet conversation, get great food and service at the same time!
