Express Burger & Mediterranean Grill — Restaurant in Alpharetta

We arrived late on a Thursday night about an hour before closing. The staff was seated at a customer table as we walked up and then went behind the counter. Ordered the Schawarma combo and while it was a little on the pricy side it was delicious and a large portion. The fries were tasty as well and the overall plate was well presented.

The booth we sat it had bits of food on it which made me wonder if they were not busy why couldn't the tables be cleaned. The decor is a bit all over the map and there was a broken display and gumball machine sitting out for some reason.

I went back and ordered a milk shake to go. I tried 2 different ice creams which weren't labeled and they weren't very confident what the flavors were. After trying "banana pudding" and chocolate chip and deciding they tasted a little off I just asked for chocolate. The shake was incredibly runny and even with the small amount of ice cream added it did not taste good. This ice cream was either not actually Blue Bell or was so old that it should have been discarded.

Get the schawarma to go and...

Theres a few reason why this place deserves 5 stars.

I didnt want to write a review after our first trip there because being amazing once can be a fluke.

However after going at least 6 times in the past few months we have seen that this place is consistent in the quality of food they serve.

The owner always greets you with a smile, and is patient to explain menu options and will help you figure out what he can make that your tastebuds will love.

It is always clean. No matter what time you go in the day, the place is clean and smells clean too.

The entire menu is delicious. Yea it sells burgers (which can be made however you like, and are fantastic) but you know what else they do great? Everything. Their Salads, their Kebobs, and their nuggets. Even the fries can come deliciously seasoned.

Even if the Halal option isnt what drives you to this place, you should check out this little gem. The price and quality of the meats they use is apparent in every bite you take.

Highly...

The food was OK. Nothing special. The serving sizes are not as generous as people make it seem, at least for the price. I’d say the sizes are average. The only thing they were generous on was the meat (lamb). My gyro was missing onions and there was barely any lettuce and tomato. It could also use more tzatziki sauce. I got a small little cup size of tzatziki on the side, and it still wasn’t enough. This restaurant isn’t really tzatziki friendly. You can’t ask for a generous amount of it on the side. If you want a lot of tzatziki, then don’t go to this restaurant. Also, the tzatziki was not good. I’ve had better. The hummus was average. Not that great. The pita was nice and dense, but for the price paid for the hummus dip, there definitely wasn’t enough Pita. For the money spent at this restaurant, I wouldn’t come back here again. This place wasn’t worth the hype.

The receptionist over the phone was fine. The receptionist picked up the phone and answered all my...
