Oh. My. Goodness! If you haven't been here, what are you waiting for? Looking for a good review? Well, here it is. I had the Chicken Shawarma Wrap, hubby had the Greek Fries and my daughter had the Chicken Shawarma Fries. It was all delicious. The chicken is well seasoned and moist. The sauce in the Greek Fries is out of this world. And the service was amazingly pleasant. The restaurant itself has a nice rustic ambiance to it. We'll definitely be frequenting this establishment again.

Excellent food with intense and fresh flavors. Lovely decor, perfect seating arrangements for small to large parties. Under new Owner so we ignored older reviews... glad we did Our party consisted of eight individuals who each ordered different items off the menu to include chicken Sharma, gyros, and other items. The gentlemen, waiting on our table, graciously accepted, substitutions, instead of fries or rice. Several individuals asked for salad. Once the meals were received, those individual stated that the salads were fresh with crispy vegetables and great dressing. The prices were very reasonable.

My friend invited me here for dinner. I didn't realize it was so far! We shared the salad, chicken kebab, and chicken katsu. The entrees came with either rice or salad. Both entrees were tasty! Although the food was good, it wasn't anything special that I would go out of my way for, unless I was in the area.

We were looking for a new Mediterranean restaurant to try out and are glad we found this spot! We came in on a weeknight and got a seat quickly - the restaurant is pretty spacious inside. We ordered a falafel plate and gyro/fries plate. Everything came out quickly, tasted great, and prices/portions were reasonable. The gentleman serving us was very friendly as well. We definitely enjoyed our meal here and will absolutely be back!

This was my first visit at Alfinjan. I always love to find mediterranean places to eat at. From the customer service, to the ambiance and how amazing the food was, this restaurant is definitely going to be one of my new favorite go-to places! The employees are constantly checking in and the chef was sweet enough to come out to introduce his self to everyone sitting down to see how they were doing. I definitely would recommend this place 100% to anyone going forward. Thank you for a great time!

This has some of the tastiest lamb around. The lamb chops are good, but the "lamb shank" is where it's at! Although it's called lamb shank, I got a piece of lamb's back. My friends got pieces of shank. Both were just as tasty, but maybe it needs to be renamed so people don't get mislead. Perhaps, naming was lost in translation? Either way, it's still a definite must order here. The lamb was nicely spiced and very tender! I think it was the best item on the menu if you're a fan of lamb. We also ordered the lamb chops, chicken shawarma wrap, and some kind of bulgur meat pancake. All were good except the bulgur meat pancake. It was oily and flavorless. I don't recommend that. The parking was great. Plenty of parking. The restaurant was also spacious with plenty of walking room. It's a great spot for large groups and handicap access. The service was good. Everyone was very nice. They also have complimentary tea and coffee. We were lucky enough to get some free dessert at the end of dinner as well. Yum baklava!

Alfinjan has recently taken over the Eat-A-Pita location. It's a family run Mediterranean eatery. I stopped in for a late lunch and had the Saj Cream Chop or fried chicken wrap. The wrap came with house fries and pickled turnips for $11 plus tax. The wrap was of very good size and I appreciated the fact that they put the whole wrap on the hot griddle before serving. I love it when they toast them up that way. Anyways, the wrap came with a very good amount of chopped up fried chicken, and a decent amount of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and your choice of sauce. I chose tahini for this wrap. The chicken was well prepared. It was crunchy yet the chicken was tender. I did feel that the wrap need more sauce inside. I was hardly noticeable. Also, I think they should serve the wrap with a side of sauce like the tahini, garlic sauce, tzatziki, or whatever sauce they offer that the patron request. At least one sauce. The house fries were okay. They work prepared properly and had good flavor via the light seasoning. Here, a side of sauce would go well too. I didn't have anything to dip them in. Service was friendly. I liked the positive energy of the lady in the kitchen. She's a keeper and cooks very well too. There's plenty of parking.
