"It's a really good deal! i had this for dinner and for the next day! the proteins are so flavorful and the salads are so refreshing to have!"
"Gave a nice amont of sauce on the Chicken over rice and you can tell it was made fresh. It was a decent portion and tasted great. I was would probably order again but they forgot all of my extra sauces on the side. Gave me red velvet instead of chocolate cake and i'm allergic to the dye in that so I couldn't say if it was good or not. My husband had the Hummus & Pita and he didn't like it but its not for everybody."

"I rarely get Greek food because it often is over-seasoned, but this food was perfect. The Tzatziki was the perfect kiss of refreshing to lift the dish without overwhelming. The lemon from the chicken and the rice really cut through and balanced the feta. The veg was all fresh, not a speck of brown. The pita was also warm and soft, like a towel right out of the dryer."
"I appreciate their craft at well pretty much everything. The gyros, harissa hummus & pita, and falafel are always fresh, taste like quality & hit the spot make me feel full but, not sluggish, ready to take on the next task after meal time. Definitely my go to spot near home. Highly recommend"

"Very delicious and flavorful as usual but the side of potatoes and the added lamb chops were super slight I only had 1 1/2 small pieces of potatoes the rest was sauce and then paying $6 for the 2 lamb chops wasn't worth it they were super super small. "
"As always, food excellent and staff soooo sweet! I always take time to tell people about them, how the food is excellent, no matter what you get. And, the staff is sooo wonderful. I had another restaurant I liked for salmon but, I tried Marzari's salmon ala carte and I've been back to the other restaurant once in 10 months just last week and got the salmon. Mazari walks circles around the other place for taste, tenderness, size. I've eaten Mazari's salmon since October 5th every day. And best of all, I can buy two dinners at Mazari for what the other restaurant charges for one! Once you try them, you'll be hooked. Several of my friends are..."

"First time ordering here. Huge huge fan. I had Chargrilled Lamb Chop with Adana Beef kebab as an add on, Chargrilled Lamb Kebab & Red Lentil Soup. I am quite picky with my food and soups but this was the BEST FOOD I have eaten in a while. Meat is so tender and very fresh. Absolutely beyond delicious. All ingredients beyond delicious. Red Lentil Soup was beyond. Thank you so much. "
"I ordered the Chargrilled Beef Adana Kebab and the Hummus. The beef was tender and SO flavorful with its accompanying yogurt dip and fresh chutney like sauce. The hummus was very generous served with a healthy portion of cucumber, pepper, and carrots along with pita triangles. I will DEFINITELY order here AGAIN! ♥️♥️"

"Amazing gyro!!!! Literally everything I wanted. The bread for the gyro or pita bread was so fresh, the Tzatziki was also fresh, and it was filling! They don't skimp around with the protein portion that's for sure! I will be ordering again! Fries are seasoned too and tasted delicious."
"Love love LOVE the Manitari Pasta! It's so hearty, flavorful, & packed with enough to last through 2 sittings! The lamb kabobs go PERFECT with the Alfredo base. The Wings were made to PERFECTION, charbroiled & packed with spices! Wish they wouldn't have skimped me for my tzatziki sauce they came with it just because I got the rosemary fries. I was not a fan of the Rosemary Fries though. If they were going to use Shoestring Fries they shouldn't have cooed them so long. They were rock hard & had no potato left in it. I couldn't even eat them so that was a waste of money. "
