😠 I have enjoyed their yummy food over the years. But they seems to not care about serving good food anymore. My last few visits were all disappointing. The shwarmas were getting more and more dry and the platters don't taste like before. My last meal from them was the worst---they burnt the chicken... People often mention chicken, good, friendly, delicious, time, order, fresh, shawarma, hummus, love,

    I have enjoyed their yummy food over the years. But they seems to not care about serving good food anymore. My last few visits were all disappointing. The shwarmas were getting more and more dry and the platters don't taste like before. My last meal from them was the worst---they burnt the chicken badly and tasted horrible. They also burnt the pita breads. The chef clearly forgot to check on the food and thought it was ok to serve the burnt food. Very disappointed. I guess it is just time to move on.

    I love Mediterranean food. I was so happy when I found this place. I used to bring my friends in and out of town here all the time but lately, service is bad. The last two times I visited, they served microwaved food and pita. The sides are not fresh. I don’t know if I will ever come back to this place. Seeing good reviews from others makes me wonder if they serve fresh food only on some days. I hate to see this place lower its standards.

    Best chicken shawarma and falafel in Dayton! The meals are very large, enough for 2 people.

    Great food and friendly people! Homemade hummus and freshly baked pita bread from the bakery. The market has so many interesting things you have to check it out. Eat, shop and take home something new. Definitely my new favorite place.

    I ate here already a few times and I am always satisfied. Staff is friendly and very attentive. I feel very welcome here. Food taste good and I'm unable to finish it off all. I would say the food is very good but I want to be honest. Your meat is getting very dry lately

    When you order from this restaurant you can taste the care and love in every single morsel!! I am so blessed to have the opportunity to eat the food here!! The kitchen is only one part of the experience, the grocery store offers a WIDE VARIETY of fresh meats, frozen foods, and canned delights too!! Dry teas and homemade sweets too!! MUST TRY AND SUPPORT!!! WE MUST KEEP THEM THRIVING ♥️

    I am rating three stars for this place for its overall feel when you walk in. However, for food I will rate it two stars. My experience is not that great. But they really have room to improve a lot if they want to.

    Met a buddy here for supper a week ago and we each ordered a dinner platter. So much for the money and so delicious! So delicious, in fact, that my wife and I came this week and will definitely be back! I only wish James would give me the secret (or at least some pointers) on how he makes the rice. 🙂

    I started going here for lunch at least once a week. This place is amazing and I am so lucky to work nearby. The falafel is good and so is the hummus! The fries are always cooked fresh! The grill gets really busy, so always budget a little extra time.

    I stopped in to have some delicious food. Hala was amazing and cooked up a special combination platter for me that was divine. I lived it so much I cannot wait to go back!

    I love their food here. The fresh hummus is delicious. They are rude towards black people here so I haven't been back. I used to love it there and have spent a lot of money there.

    James and staff made our party of three all very very happy. We had three different dishes, 3 different salads, and the grape leaves to share. Really lovely customer experience in all ways, and loved being able to shop around the grocery a bit while the food was being prepared. Portions can definitely be worthy of two meals instead of one. I didn't know how gorgeous an order of kabob could be until tonight!

  • 5/5 Rachel Haug G. 4 years ago on Google
    I called on Dec. 31st to place a "catering order" for New Year's Day for eight adults, one including a vegan eater. The man on the phone was very friendly and helpful. The order was ready at the specified time and was reasonably priced. The food was delicious! We ordered lentil soup (spicy and delicious), hummus, baba ganoush (my all-time favorite-- they make it the best!), foul (spicy), Arabic salad, yogurt salad (in hindsight we did not need this), tabouli, stuffed grape leaves, kafta kebobs, and chicken shwarma. It was all so yummy. I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Phil G. 4 years ago on Google
    The restaurant is in the back. Great service, fantastic hummus, excellent food. Never had a bad meal, never been there when they didn't treat you like royalty.

  • 5/5 David S. 7 months ago on Google
    We used the group ordering option on their website for the whole office and the staff worked very hard to make sure everything was correct and timely. It's not easy to assemble 30 different lunches and we're grateful for their friendliness and attention to detail. The food is delicious and they have great options for people with varying dietary needs. Thank you very much!

  • 5/5 Christopher S. 5 months ago on Google
    I really love ordering here. I prefer to call my orders in. I usually wait 15-20 minutes but the food is phenomenal. I don't like to eat too much fast food anymore and this is a much healthier option near my work. I recommend anyone get the mixed grill with fries and eggplant salad to try it out, then move onto things like beef or chicken shawarma. If you want healthy, friendly, tasty, good quality and very good portion sizes for what you pay, this is the kind of place you want!

    Place was really welcoming and service was quick, had some time to go shop for our desert before we ate and got some awesome food, plates were cleaned. Love this place!

  • 5/5 Ariana S. 5 months ago on Google
    Great place for Mediterranean food! At the grill, they make the food fresh so it’s not as quick as McDonald’s, but it only takes around 10 minutes or so. We just walked around their grocery and picked up a couple things. We basically got chicken and rice with hummus. It’s a little pricier but I feel it’s worth it for the quality of the food. We spent about $15 apiece. They also make their own pita fresh everyday - strongly recommend picking some up!! Don’t expect to eat your lunch here though they do have some seats to wait for food. All around, happy to support a local shop with good, fresh, Mediterranean!

  • 5/5 Rayne L. 9 months ago on Google
    A very friendly and cool atmosphere with all of the unique grocery items. The chicken shawarma platter was out of this world and served by a very friendly gentleman by the name of James. Every time I am back in Dayton this will be a must!

  • 5/5 Craig G. 9 months ago on Google
    My family and I went in as we love good food. Situated at the back of the market, very friendly staff, awesome food, not a lot of money for a whole lot of food. James waited on us and was awesome!!! Will definitely be back with friends in tow!

  • 1/5 AV T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointing. DO NOT try the special lunch chicken bowl for $12. It is super small with lot of rice and VERY little chicken. Food had no taste. Restaurant employees mean except the lady in front in the grocery section -very respected- First time and definitely last

  • 5/5 JB S. 1 year ago on Google
    The Grill restaurant inside the market keeps improving their food. The felafel was excellent and really well balanced. The wrap is just the right size too.This is a local Lebanese restaurant in Miamisburg, Ohio. The market has loads of foods that are typical of the Middle East area. Give them a try, you will enjoy it. 🥙

  • 5/5 E B. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing food!! I get the chicken shawarma or gyros and they’re so delicious! The food is very fresh. Also I love their French fries! So crispy yet soft 😋 also affordable, at the time of posting, I can order a gyro for only $8. The staff is very friendly and patient and give good recommendations. So glad we moved close by so I can keep coming back!

    Chicken shawarma and grilled chicken were amazing. Definitely coming back again.

  • 5/5 kristi h. 3 years ago on Google
    This may have been the best chicken shawarma I have ever eaten. Perfect blend of spices and the chicken was so tender. The hummus was awesome. The baklava wasn't as moist and flavorful as I would have liked but everything else was great.

  • 3/5 Wasimudin S. 3 years ago on Google
    food tastes good, but they almost always get the order wrong and the place isn't the most clean.

  • 1/5 vinit t. 3 years ago on Google
    This review is just for the meat department, food here is exceptionally good. If you order whole chicken from here you will pre cut chicken with one whole breast missing. If i order one whole chicken I expect one complete chicken.

  • 5/5 Amy S. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and a great grocery store for your middle eastern needs!

  • 5/5 Rami B. 3 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 mohammed q. 4 years ago on Google
    I have been a regular customer to this place. In the last week I must have ordered like 4 times. Today I felt the boy at the grill was rude when I asked him for extra garlic and above that he charged me for that. Rude behavior and bad service. I guess I am not coming back. Rather I would drive to YAffa grill in Fairborn atleast they have the decency to attend their customers. Good bye Yaffa! Also the pathetic idiots took an hour to make my order

    When in Dayton we like to pick local restaurants and ethnic foods we can't get at home. We decided to give this place a try. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because they didn't quite have everything on the menu available which caused a quick turnaround of deciding what to order (which is hard with kids). Otherwise I would give a 5. The staff was very friendly. The food was amazing. My husband got the mixed grill: the grilled chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly, the rest of the meats were also delicious. Even the rice had the perfect amount of flavor! The hummus has a surprisngly big kick of mixed with the red pepper, but mixed or not it was the best hummus I've ever had. I got the vegetarian sampler. My 1.5 year old and I devoured the grape leaves. The falafel was also good but may be a bit bland compared to others I've tried. However the tahini salad dipping sauce made everything spectacular. I also got the baba ganoush which was new for me, but may have just become one of my favorite foods. If you want to support local and try something new, I highly recommend you give this place a shot.

    Always amazed how a tiny international grocery can provide top tier food. Very friendly family business.

  • 1/5 Abderrahim O. 3 years ago on Google
    Don’t buy sandwiches here, $5.99 For a piece of pita bread and a little meat with a bit of cheese 😂.

  • 5/5 nicole h. 4 years ago on Google
    Very friendly staff, unbothered by my uneducated questions about what food is what. I've been here 3 times and gotten something different every time, and have yet to be disappointed. There is a full market attached where you can find all sorts of things as well!

  • 3/5 Ivette B. 4 years ago on Google
    The grocery store expanded by sacrificing rstaurant area. A pity because food was excellent except at Ramadan time.

  • 5/5 Michael U. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food. Kind service. Good atmosphere. Good value.

  • 5/5 Merlyn V. 4 years ago on Google
    This is authentic Middle-Eastern food. Take it from someone who has spent her entire childhood there. I had my "Ratatouille moment" the minute I took my first bite. We ordered the mixed grille and the beef shawarma entree. Both were delicious. The portions were generous given the reasonable pricing. We felt that the meat from the shawarma was a little tough, though. We carried-out and so I cannot comment on their dine-in service. But the lady who took my call was courteous and pleasant. We loved the food and it's flavor, which definitely warrants a trip back to sample more from their menu.
