Phoenicia Cafe

I would say the best part of this place is its atmosphere. You definitely feel like you are in an authentic Mediterranean establishment, especially with the market filled with a bunch of novelties that I have never heard of. I ordered the chicken kafta, which was very good, hearty and well seasoned. It also came with hummus and a salad, of which the salad was fresh and well-mixed, while the hummus was nothing special. I tried my friend's chicken schwarma, which was pretty dry and nothing special. The prices were a little expensive (one of the main reasons I went here was because I wanting a cheaper meal, as is often found at Middle Eastern places), as I've visited other places that offer similar items for less. The other thing that irritated me was that I had a coupon that only applied to a few options on the menu (none of which were vegetarian), but I did appreciate the transparency about the coupons application

Smaller mom and pop local shop that I approve! Ordered a burger and a steak gyro, very quick service really nice server also. Small Greek salad was very nice and refreshing with clean ingredients, Greek fries were some of the better ones I've tried with great feta and sauce made in house! Food came or fresh exactly to specification as ordered without any mistakes. Wish it was busier for how good the food was! More people need to check this place out as everything is busy game night and this was not!

Double check the bill before you pay! The man at the counter might overcharge you!!! Apparently I am not the only one who had this experience. What a shame! The restaurant is right next to the mosque and they sell Quran right by the counter. Can how a man be so dishonest?! Third time coming here, unfortunate experience. I ordered rack of lamb and was expecting better meat than lamb shank (since it’s more expensive). But what I got was small portioned, a bit burned (see the picture). What’s more disappointing was at the counter, the man owner overcharged us. First he secretly added tips to our bills without telling us (you do not get itemized bills at this place. He just tells you how much you should pay in total). Second the tips he secretly added were pretty high (over 20% for a four person party). Although I still liked the food here in general and the lady owner was still very nice, I had to downgrade my rating.

Great place with delicious food. I order myself a fries with side chicken shawarma. This is for sure a hangover cure.

Relaxing atmosphere with a great chicken salad and turkish coffee hit the spot. I can see myself coming back again to experience more of the great service I had today.
