This place has been on my yelp radar ever since they opened this location. With a five-star rating and rave reviews through word of mouth, Mom and I were sure to be in for a treat - and they most certainly did not disappoint. It was our first time here and we will be regulars here going forward. The first things I notice about a space are the energy and aura it emits. Good vibes from start to finish.
As we entered, we were immediately greeted by AJ with a smile. I noticed that there was limited seating, but I believe that to be a good thing.
Started things off with cold water infused with lime and oranges. It is a serve-yourself concept along with a soda station right next to it. Mom ordered a Chicken Medi Bowl and I ordered a Beef & Lamb Medi Bowl- from the perfectly portioned meat to tahini and dill quinoa ratio enhanced by the plethora of herbs and spices to the freshness of the cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, hummus, pickled red onions, tzatziki, crispy garbanzos and zatar - we truly enjoyed every bite and we both agreed it was the star of the show! Aesthetically pleasing in presentation and taste, this dish truly shined and will clearly be our choice when we return for lunch another day. The tzatziki and garlic aioli dipping sauces complemented the thin and crispy texture and flavor of the large fries that we ordered and shared as well. No complaints.
AJ checked in with us during our meal to see how we liked the food. We told him we would return soon on another day. Also, a gentleman (whom I believe to be the owner but I didn't get his name), was very visible to patrons - we chatted with him after our meal and made sure he knew that we liked the food and that we would be returning. He seemed pleased with our feedback. It is clear that the food quality and service is right on point. Was too full to try dessert. Really wanted to try the Baklava Nut...
Read moreReview: Berliner Wrap – Beef & Lamb with Pita Strips and Hummus Overall Rating: ★★½ (2.5/5)
Tucked away like a secret worth sharing, this modern hole-in-the-wall offers a charming, new-age ambiance that immediately sets a relaxed, welcoming tone. The space hums with creative energy, offering a glimpse into what could be a memorable food-outing experience.
Service was a highlight—Luke, the staff member working behind the bar, provided warm, attentive hospitality and answered menu questions with clarity and ease.
Unfortunately, the promise of the setting and service was let down by the food. The Berliner Wrap, a beef and lamb fusion, started strong with well-seasoned notes, but quickly fell into a monotony of flavor that made the latter half forgettable. At a \$20 price point, the dish lacked the depth and dimension expected from a premium casual offering.
The side of pita strips with hummus was the most disappointing. The pita was deep-fried, resembling thin-cut French fries more than the warm, pillowy triangles traditionally served with Mediterranean dips. Any hope of redemption through a rich, creamy hummus accompaniment was dashed when i noticed the dip was not included in my order—a frustrating oversight that robbed the dish of balance and left it flat and uninspired.
In summary, while the atmosphere and service hint at something special, the culinary execution falls short. A promising venue in need of refinement where it matters...
Read moreTerrible experience today. I asked if the doner wraps were included in the “Gyro Combo”. The cashier said “yes” so I ordered the Berliner doner. He brought out the wrong order, which he fixed…though the food was cold and the wrap was soggy when he brought it out. They should have replaced the fries that had been brought out hot 10 minutes earlier.
Then, much to my surprise, he came out and demanded that I pay an additional $6. He said it was because what I ordered cost more. I reminded that I asked him when I placed my order that I asked him if that combo option was available.
I was so shocked that he had the hutzpa to require me to pay more that I just gave him my card. But he couldn’t provide me with the original receipt.
It was an unfortunate misunderstanding. But he had the opportunity to make it right. Instead of making it right for the customer, he made it right for himself. I told him if he had communicated to me correctly when I was ordering, I would have made a different choice. He apologized and remained polite throughout. His mistake cost me $6, but it cost him a...
