“ The food was delicious and filling for a very respectable price. The service was wonderful, the family that runs the restaurant was very kind. I am Mediterranean but I felt at home. My waitress was a little girl with lots of enthusiasm who made me feel invited by the family to enjoy my meal. I have not had much Mediterranean cuisine and nor am I an expert but I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone wanting to try something new. ”

“ We have ordered twice from this small business and have thoroughly enjoyed the food and welcoming service provided, both our takeout order and dine-in. The entrees was flavorful, with the perfect balance of sauces, fresh veggies, tender meat, light and crispy fries. The basbousa dessert had a uniquely pleasant flavor, but was too sweet for our liking. The second order we placed (dine-in), our fries were not as crispy. However, the rest of our food and service was just as good as before. ”

“ Overall, the food was really good that I wish I can go back again. We had the Jordanian Original Mansaf and the Mashawi mix plate. The yogurt that came with the Jordanian Original Mansaf was tart as expected. ”

“ Don't judge a book by its cover, doesn't look like much on the outside, in a shopping strip. Inside was beautiful, colorful, and comfortable. Come up to the counter and got a couple of menus and told we could sit anywhere. Came up to our table and got our order. Asked about menu options and dish of the day and the staff was very helpful and gave us great details. I always have a hard time deciding on one dish because I love Mediterranean food so I opted for a combination appetizer plate as my meal. It did not disappoint, food was fresh, flavorful and delicious! My husband got a meal which had chicken, steak and lamb on a bed of rice (curry maybe?) with salad a generous portion of hummus. His dish was both pleasing to the eye and delicious! It did not disappoint. Had a large variety of drinks but we opted for Mexican Cokes. We left with a good deal of left overs and a half pound of assorted baklava. About average price for a nice dinner out for two. We were very pleased and we will return. ”

“ Tried them for the first time yesterday. Had the beef gyro sandwich and fries. Very good and messy. Fries are excellent. Candidly could be a little meatier. Service was attentive. He realized I was kind of in a hurry and wasted no time getting my order out. I Encourage you to try this place. They could use our help. ”

“ Food - great and flavorful Service - nice simple order, deliver to table process. Ambiance - not a romantic nor ambiance driven interior, nice and clean though. Tried this little gem between Zarda and Taco Bell on 87th just west of I-35. Really good hummus, had a lamb swarma plate with delicious saffron rice and great hummus w pita. Pistachio Baklava? Sure sign me up for say 2 - 20...! They have a LOT of Baklava on display along with many other sweet temptations, "must resist"..! Pistachio Baklava was good and tasty w/o being too sweet or drowning in syrup. Will be back for other dishes, as the thought came to me that "This is what Basha used to be like". aka good / affordable with great flavor. ”

“ To go order: Willingness to please Generous portions Authentic flavors Additional note based on additional experiences: found that the quality of the food has been hit and miss on this sometimes five sometimes three. ”

“ Order dinner tonight, and everything was perfect. Beef gyro plate (saffron rice, veggies, gyro, pita, hummus, Mediterranean salad), falafel with tahini, and tiramisu. The falafel are light and crispy, with delightfully fresh tahini and tzatziki. The beef gyro is so flavorful, and the rice, veggies, and salad were a perfect compliment. Only regret is that we should have ordered more than one cake ”

“ If you're in the Overland Park area and craving Mediterranean, don't make the trek all the way out to Jerusalem Cafe or Baba's! Queen of Mediterranean does a solid job and they're my go-to for shawarma on a weekday night. My favorite dishes to order are the Beef Shawarma Plate (comes with hummus, vegetables, and spiced rice) and the Baba Ganoush. The shawarma is fully-flavored and tender and the portions are good. If you're unfamiliar with Baba Ganoush, it's similar to hummus but made with roasted garlic and eggplant rather than chickpeas. The end result is smoky, garlickly, slightly tangy spread that goes perfectly with their flatbread. I've also enjoyed the stuffed grape leaves, the chicken shawarma, the falafel, and the gyro--those are solid picks as well. Dishes I prefer to avoid here are the lamb options, the hummus, and the baklava. Even though I love lamb, I find that it tends to be on the tough side here and would much rather drive out north if I want that. The hummus is more acidic than I'm used to. While it's okay when paired with the shawarma, I wouldn't order it on its own. As for the baklava--proper baklava has a signficiant number of layers, with spiced nuts and honey spread between the layers. As a result, it's very labor-intensive to make can proper baklava can cost a pretty penny. The baklava here has the layered pastry on one side and the nut spread on the bottom, which is much easier to make but doesn't capture all the flavors and textures baklava should have. For the price, I wouldn't order it here. Overall, a great choice for a weeknight! The service can be hit or miss, so it's not dependable for groups, but even when I came with a group of ~20 the service time wasn't unreasonable. Atmosphere is fairly casual, so not a great choice for special occasions. ”
