Zhoug Mediterranean — Restaurant in Kansas City

It was…just okay. Mids a best. Got a gyro pita wrap. Looked NOTHING like the picture on their website. Pita was still kind of cold. Which is weird because it looked like they grilled the pita wrap with the wrapper? There were grill marks on the paper. Kind of strange I’ve never seen anyone grill a wrapper before. The quality of the pita wasn’t great—very thin and flaky and fell apart when I started eating it. Couldn’t tell which end I was supposed to start at because both ends looked open. The flavor of the gyro meat was there but they just need to add more of it. I feel like I got more cold fillings than meat unfortunately which may have contributed to it being lukewarm when I got it. I was there when they put the order together so it’s not like it sat around for very long. Also they gave me all the sauces I had ordered for the wrap on the side so then I had to open the wrap myself, which was a mess, and put them on. Flavor was there but presentation was a hot mess.

Saving grace was the falafel. It was very good. Crispy and tasty. My only complaint is that I wish they gave me more taziki dip. I only had enough for half the falafels.

I wouldn’t suggest getting the wraps unless they get some better quality pita. I’m still willing to give it another chance. My gf got a platter and hers looked much better with the rice. I’ll try a platter next time but that pita bread yall use….yikes. You should consider sourcing a better quality pita.

Vibe in there was…quiet? I dunno. It was 6pm on a Monday and was DEAD inside. Not a single customer. One guy standing at the bus stop in front of the restaurant came in and ordered a fountain drink but that was it. I would’ve expected it to be at least a little busy during the early dinner rush. I’ll give it...

Perplexed by the 5 star reviews. We went to the 39th st location. The atmosphere was really odd here, people wise and setting wise. No one spoke English so it was difficult to communicate your order, forget if you have any questions. There were a ton of people working and no one took responsibility for the order so things kept getting missed. We had to go to the counter four times to get all the parts of the meal we paid for, no one seemed to know what was going on or interested in making sure we got our food. My teen felt so stressed during ordering, we almost just left and I wish we had. It was just really odd, I don’t know how else to explain it. To be fair: It was flavorful, but I prefer Cava overall due to vibes and ability to get my food. The falafel was incredible but took ten min to get. The pita isn’t warmed or homemade, it’s in plastic baggies at the front, I feel like this is an ultimate sin for a Mediterranean place. Babas pantry is better, or Cava if we want chipotle style Mediterranean is how we will do...

I recently checked out Zhoug Mediterranean on 39th Street, and I'm already counting down until their second location opens in Lenexa! This spot is a must-try for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean eats. Their menu is packed with delicious options: Custom Bowls Pita Wraps Hearty Platters Sweet, flaky Baklava They've got something for everyone - Gluten-Free, Halal, Vegetarian, and Vegan options are all available and clearly labeled! I created my own bowl with a rice and hummus base, loaded it up with juicy chicken and all the toppings - it was so flavorful. The platters come with rice and two sides (highly recommend the falafel and salad), and their pita wraps are perfectly stuffed and saucy! The Chicken Shawarma and Gyro are both amazing. Don't leave without grabbing dessert -- the Baklava is perfectly sweet, buttery, and crispy. Definitely adding this to my regular rotation. Kansas City, go...
