"Delicious. Flavorful. Extremely soft pita. Unique fries. Baklava was amazing! I saw others saying baklava was small - that's the traditional size. Pita could've had more chicken though. But still good enough to order again."
"I've ordered Falafel Pita Meal with lentil soup almost 3 times this week. The portion was perfect, it was rightly cooked and tasty, soup was also tasty and hot when it arrived. I would love to order this again."

"Honestly, it was the bomb. Not to mantion the buy one get one free plate, the seasoning was perfect, chicken was very tasty, rice was so well seasoned. Pita was soft and fresh. We will be returning for sure."
"The Seasoned Fries were exceptional. Excellent flavor and very crisp, even after being in the packaging for 25 minutes during delivery. Honestly, some of the best fries I've had. The Build-a-Gyro was ok but not the best I've had. It was a bit overpriced for the size, and the meat was ok but didn't stand out. It also had more sauce than it needed and got soggy to the point that the pita couldn't hold together by the end. I would probably order again because the fries were that good, but there are better gyros out there for the price."

"Food was amazing, flavor, portions, freshness and value. Chicken was perfectly seasoned and sauce was great and just enough. This will become my new food favorite for day and late nights. Thanks and yesss I will be ordering again soon."
"Overall, the food was great. The highlight though was the thick, juicy gyro meat in the platter! At other places its fried out and doesnt have flavor, this was awesome! The other accompaniments - chicken, rice, hummus, salad were great with it. My only critique is that the hummus could have more flavor - tasted a little bland. Get the extra Pita, it's worth it. "

"I have always enjoyed the chicken Sharma roll and pistachio cheese cake. The lamb meal is fantastic as well. Pistachio kinafa was surprisingly delicious."
"The Steak was good, it wasn't medium rare the way we prefer, but it was very tasty and the amount of steak in the wrap was good too because a lot of restaurants seem to be penny pinching on the amount of meat in their portion while charging more and more because of markups on everything with Doordash. The Chicken was good too, but the steak wrap seemed to have more meat, which is surprising. We haven't tried the lamb yet, but it looks like the steak wrap. We hope it's not steak , but lamb like we ordered. They also gave us a generous amount of sauces and salad, tomatoes, cucumbers, and radishes on the side. We put mayo on their chicken wrap and it was good too. The only odd item in our order was the salad with chicken seemed to have dark meat on it instead of chicken breast, which was not what we expected. We will review the lamb wrap next time. Thank you for having food that was good and our guest enjoyed too!"

"My first time trying Persian food and this restaurant -- I was so impressed! The food was all delicious, especially for a late night place (life saver for us late night city owls). I absolutely loved the herbal stew's flavor and how layered and smoky the eggplant dip was. Will definitely be trying again!!"

"The fries at Nesh are seriously underrated — super crispy, well-seasoned, and not the usual crinkle-cut stuff. I had the shawarma plate and was impressed by how much food came with it. The meat was tender and you could really taste the marination. Everything felt fresh and satisfying. Solid spot for a quick, filling lunch. Also loved the chicken shawawra wrap and that garlic sauce, wow!! "
"The taste was okay, but a few unexpected things
1. There were whole pieces of grilled chicken, not shredded, which makes it a bit difficult to bite in a pita
2. The sauce and veggies are on one side and the meat on the other, so one side is rather dry and one side the pita is soaked up
3. It was smaller than expected. With $1 difference it is half the size of the bow."

"For what was received it taste good but the portions is a fraction of what is shown/expected. Miss the taste of home but if I'm spending over $20+ on a meal I'd expect more a few pieces of dawali and a tiny piece of zucchini. Needs a little more middle eastern flavoring.

"Nile of Hyde Park misses the mark where it matters most. The chicken shawarma was dry and lifeless, the chips that came with the shawarma were stale, and the bread for the soup arrived still sealed in its plastic packaging. The rice was so over salted, it drowned out every other flavor. The lentil soup was merely passable.
The only redeeming dish was the kifta kabob, which was tender and properly seasoned. One well-executed item couldn’t rescue an otherwise careless meal."

And they didn't go overboard with the white/green sauces. Perfect really. The rice is soooo flavorful and the lamb is EXCELLENT! It's cubed up, not shaved/slcued, but it's gyro meat texture so it's super tender. I really enjoyed the meat being thick-cut in this way. Will definitely order again."

"The food here is consistently excellent flavor, temperature, quality, taste, and tenderness. The portions are great. The food is fresh. I am a repeat customer. The lamb is the best I have had. They have fast delivery as well."
"This was so delicious. I loved the charred flavor on the steak and kebab. everything was delicious and hot! The garlic sauce and other condiments were great. I prefer hummus from another restaurant but their meat can't steal the show like Jerusalem Cafe. Wow. such quality. Will return. I thumbs down the Baba Ghannoug because I don't like it. I'm sure it was delicious but it was my first time trying it and it's not for me. but quality of food... A++"

"As someone who just moved here from the Middle East and have been looking everywhere for good falafel and hummus.. this place is the BEST. Best hummus, real falafel that you can't find anywhere around!!! Thank you so much for making me feel home again!!!!"
"definitely disappointed by the food. I ordered the chicken and it had a smell to it… When chicken is old traditionally has a smell that is what the smell was. Also, it was very bland and there was not much chicken in the rice plate. You're mostly paying for rice I will not order from here again. There are many other places to get great Middle Eastern food for less money and fresher ingredients."
