Like many people who work or live in the western part of Mesa near the 101 I have driven by this place 2-4 times a day for the past 13 years. I don't want to add up how many times that is but 2000 might be reasonable. I have to admit that the location is a bit weird, its a strange little mall tucked away from the street. The sign has letters I don't understand.
I went there because one of my techs was called to work on one of their refrigerated cases and told me how nice it was. I went in there and did not tell them anything about my guys working there. They were so incredibly nice and helpful I could not believe it. When I told them that is was my first time there they patiently explained everything on the menu to me and even brought me samples of some items I had not had before.
The shwarma is my favorite for the meats (both chicken and beef) but everything I have tried is fresh and flavorful. Their kabobs use good quality meat that isn't too chewy. I am a total hummus snob and make my own frequently. Theirs is made fresh every day and tastes as good as my home made if not better. In fact my wife bought some at Costco today and it was so bad in comparison that it made me remember I had to give these people a good review. You can buy the same ingredients in the attached store and if you ask they will tell you which ones are best. The have great pita bread in the freezer you can warm up and is better than any other pita bread around here. Their prices in both the restaurant and deli are very reasonable for the quality of the food.
Another reviewer mentioned wiping the tables with the same rag as they wiped the tables. I have seen multiple restaurants do this and as long as the rag has proper disinfectant I do not see anything wrong with it. In fact -- think about it -- you almost always put your hands down on a booth when you slide in, then you eat with them! I am GLAD they wipe down the booths with disinfectant. I like this place because it is clean, you can see back into the kitchen and see how they keep it. I don't think giving such a low rating for what seems to be a standard practice is very fair.
Yes, the different tiles in the dining room a a bit weird, but it is only like 1/4" difference. The location is a little different as is the layout. In the first of this review I mentioned I had driven buy it literally thousands of times over the last 13 years. It seemed a little odd and I missed out all that time by not exploring it. If you don't like exploring a little different cultures go to McDonald's. These are hard working people who make the best food they know how, make it fresh and are incredibly nice. They have some very beautiful women working there who are also very nice and helpful. The whole place is maybe a little different than we are used to in Mesa but if you want interesting and flavorful experience stop there and give them a try.
