Good food but it takes too long to get it. I was there for breakfast and it took 30 minutes + to get our manqueesh
It’s an ok place Not real authentic Nice folks but it’s a fast food mentality
Authentic shawarma place. Enjoyed real deal kanafeh. Was pretty quick serving.
Clean, friendly service. Verbal assurance that all meat is Halal. All hot food is made fresh and in front of you. Sweets in display looked good.

We had the combo plate and baklava and salad and it was delightful. Friendly staff and clean environment.

Great place with great food.

I just ordered this on Uber eats and I couldn’t be more happy to find this place. The food was piping, hot and fresh and reminds me of when my grandma used to cook for me. It was honestly amazing.

Excellent food and prompt service at this place. Highly recommend.
Cool place to eat. I got a guava juice and the eggplant pie. The eggplant is delicious with a nice touch of spice. There aren't many vegan options here, but the food is made fresh, was pretty fast, and has good service. I recommend!
So I came here with my husband after having Opa and loved Opa's cuisine. I'm not a huge Mediterranean/Greek food lover but some of their menu items are absolutely incredible. We wanted to venture more into this food with trying a new place. Honestly, there were so many options here between appetizers, combo plates, and desserts that I was extremely overwhelmed making a choice. We over ordered and spent so much for just two people but at least we know now what we like and dislike. The pita bread is delicious, the grape leaves are so so (I like Opa's better) the pizza was good, and the garlic sauce is very good. I'm not a huge fan of gyro meat or falafels but my husband said his was pretty good and their desserts are worth a try. Honestly, coming back I would order the pizza and pita bread with the tzatziki and garlic sauces and probably pay a 1/3 of what or bill came to. Overall, I much prefer Opa! but if you are a fan of this food then I would recommend giving a try.
I got the Dubai milk chocolate bar and the Chocolate was really low quality. I felt like I could taste dish soap in the chocolate from the molds. I also got the biscoff Chocolate bar and that was pretty good. Everyone in there was nice but use different chocolate or use unscented soap for the molds.
Their fresh baked pies are awesome 5/5. Zatar and lahm Ajeen are delicious. Chicken shawarma was pretty good. Beef Kabobs were a little over done. Overall a great options for Mediterranean food in the area.
We found the Viral Dubai Chocolate at this Tempe restaurant. You'll find Dubai bars, Dubai bon bons and Dubai hearts. These hearts are the perfect sweet gift for valentines. Stop by this small mom and pop business and support local. We experienced friendly service, casual dine in seating and great eats and treats. They have some amazing dishes, quality dishes, scratch made hummus and shawarma beef plate is so filling. I tried something new and fell in love with Kibbeh. So much delicious food.
Very seldomly do I give a restaurant five stars never category, but this restaurant absolutely took it. They had incredible service and the food was absolutely incredible along with the atmosphere. I highly recommend this authentic restaurant. It’s a small business owned by family. They are Incredible people!!
11/9/24 Short version: wow, what a plethora of meal, drinks, and dessert options. So many choices it was difficult to choose. Friendly staff, clean restaurant. Very happy with the experience. Longer version: there is plenty of parking, patio seating, and it's pretty large inside. While looking at the menu, I noticed a small alcove further inside -- and saw a few more dessert choices. Yummy! The gentleman back there was super nice, explaining what was in "his" counter. The guy at the menu register was also very polite, and was happy to explain about the Jamaica juice in their fridge. We ordered two different flavors of the Freez carbonated drinks (I regret not buying more to sample at home); the pineapple & coconut was very tasty. The Jamaica juice does not have sugar and even so, it was still pretty good, although I may add some Sprite, or even OJ to the rest. We ordered the beef shawarma plate and hummus beef shawarma. My sister said the rice was not as flavorful as she has had elsewhere, I thoroughly enjoyed my hummus. And the pita? Oh man, it came out hot and was so good. The one guy behind the counter probably thought I was rude for staring but I was watching him brush off the flour (?) from the oven and start forming what I assume would become pita. It seriously looked so good, I told my sister, "I wonder if they'd sell us raw dough." :-) The rice pudding with pistachio was so thick and creamy, I devoured it. The cheese dessert was also delicious, very mild flavor, but I only had a couple bites. I was saving it for a midnight snack. Golden Restaurant is well worth a visit, and return visit, and more return visits.
This restaurant is gold-like, as the name says. The food is super fresh and delicious and the staff treats you like family??? Don't hesitate to visit. I loved my golden plate and eggplant pie. Gracias ?
