Shimshon at The Grove — Restaurant in Bend

Very good food. I got a pita stuffed with an amalgam of the usual gyro/pita toppings, all the ingredients were tasty and seemed fresh and high quality. In particular, I enjoyed the various sauces that were present in ample quantity. My protein of choice was lamb kawarma, which I incorrectly assumed was similar to shawarma. It ended up being more of a stewed meat, sort of similar to pot roast. Not quite what I was expecting, but that's on me for assuming. I probably won't return because I don't live anywhere near there, but if I did I would get the chicken shawarma instead. The only thing the pita needed was a bit more crisp or crunch.

Overall: tasty food, nice lady working the counter,...

The bowl was beyond our expectations in quantity and flavor. Why do they even have additional sauces?!? The lamb was juicy, tender and delectable. The salad was fresh, the hummus smooth and the fries… oh man! You just can’t pass this up! So full from the lamb bowl for lunch I didn’t need dinner! Next time I’m in Bend, this is my lunch stop! Definitely worth the money.

The communal dining shared with other vendors was clean and hospitable, but loud. There is a water bottle filling station available and clean restrooms as well. How is this not a 5 star, those one star reviews must be lying or caught this place in a bad day because the employees were courteous and prompt...

I decided to update my review to five stars because they brought back the chicken and the beef !! Thank you so much for listening to your customers ...

I was going here three times a month for the last year and a half and absolutely loved their food. But then they keep changing the menu and getting rid of the best selling items.... It's perfectly fine to add new items but why would you stop serving pickled vegetables, the chicken thighs and the beef pieces on top of the shimshon bowl? , that's the best part! I've brought so many people here but I dined last week and it's just not the same anymore...
