Wessen Int'l Kitchen - Mediterranean Cuisine — Restaurant in Tempe

What a great place with really good food!!! Small hole in the wall with just 2 tables but most people there were like me... takeout. I ordered a lot...I wanted to try different things. Lamb shank with yogurt was wonderful and curry lamb stew was good...though I like stronger curry...but that's just a personal preference...but it was still delicious. Hummus is good. The meat in the gyros was not as flavorful as I had hoped...but still it was good. Overall, I am happy I discovered this place and I am going back today after I write this review!!! I would plan on ordering takeout because of lack of seating. I am looking forward to another lamb shank. There are about 4 different types and I wasn't originally going to order the lamb shank with yogurt because yogurt on a lamb shank? It didn't sound right to me but girl at the counter said it was the most popular and I am glad I listened to her and got one!!!! I might get another lamb curry stew also and maybe try something other than a gyro. They other gyro type wraps on the menu. The ladies running the place that day were very nice. Overall I was very happy I found this place and I enjoyed...

I had the pleasure of visiting Wessen Int'l Kitchen for the first time, and I’m excited to share my experience!

This cozy little restaurant has a warm atmosphere, perfect for a casual dining experience.

The Steak Kabob was enjoyable, and I really loved the Greek salad—it was a delightful burst of flavors! The hummus was tasty as well, providing a nice touch to the meal. The yellow rice and the grilled onion and tomato were decent, adding to the overall experience.

One of the highlights for me was the affordability of their menu compared to other Middle Eastern restaurants I’ve visited. It’s wonderful to find a place that offers great food without breaking the bank!

I’m genuinely grateful for the warm service and good food, and I look forward to returning to explore more of their menu. There are so many enticing dishes to try, and I can’t wait for...

We ordered the mansaf and the knafeh. The mansaf was okay. Tbh , it didn't taste very authentic but still tasted good. We liked it, and the lamb on the mansaf was well cooked. The knafeh was delicious. The cheese stretched, which is a sign of a good quality knafeh. It could have stretched a bit more, though.

We also had fatoosh salad. The bread in the salad was crispy, another good sign of good quality. The hummus was flavorful. The color of the olive oil used on the hummus was a bit lighter than the normal color of olive oil. But, the taste was good.

Overall, good food. The portions are nice. The place itself is small. They have two tables inside with 4 chairs each. Comfortable for a quick visit. The staff was very friendly.

The trash bin in the corner didn't look nice - I recommend replacing it with a more covered trash bin. But, it wasn't that bad anyway.

Good food and nice...
