Took my parents here after hearing great reviews from friends.The only reason I'm giving two stars is because tea is phenomenal and the gyro meat is very good.
The felafel was AWFUL. It was dry, crumbly, and clearly was not made fresh. Ironically the server had just given us a sphiel on how the felafel is made fresh to order, the reason being why it was only served as a wrap??
Read moreI went here with my family (four in total) for my birthday dinner. We came right at 6pm, which is when the dining room closes. We didn't realize until we walked in, but they were very nice and let us have dinner (sorry if we were a bother!) The food was very good: I got the falafel steamed pita, I really enjoyed it and it tasted fresh. Really the only complaint about the food I have was the spicy humus was just regular humus with jalapeños and salsa on top. Though I would like to point out that the soda (Coke & Diet) was very flat and watery, and just not enjoyable at all. Other than that, everyone enjoyed the food.

They have no eat-in evening dining (in-eat available at lunch) right now (July 2022), so we took home a sumptuous dinner: a chicken special served with rice and whipped garlic spread; a Yanni pita sandwich with baba ganoush and tabouli; an olive and feta dip that came with toasted pita triangles; and lastly, an all pistachio (no walnuts) baklava. For beverages, we tried their lovely herbal ice tea that has a cinnamon taste to it.
We arrived home with this feast of flavors, seasonings, and spices—everything was delectable. This is the best food we have had in Memphis in the last three months since we moved here. Did the mention the generous portions? We hope to return and work our way down the menu.
I highly recommend this restaurant. There is free off street parking out front. The Cafe is located in the corner of...
