"We love everything we ordered!!! All fresh, wonderfully delicious, generous portions of Shawarma Platter, Baba Ghanouj, Stuffed Grape Leaves and pita bread (4ct.) all excellent!!! We will order again!!! "
"Hands down one of the best shawarma wraps I have ever had in my life! Huge portions, I always get at least two meals out of this or split it with another person. The salty pickles and fresh tomatoes perfectly balance out the depth of spices of the chicken. Definitely would order again. And again. "

"We ordered the Hot Mezze Trio and Gyro Sandwich. Everything was soooo good! The gyro was so full and had great flavor. The beef empanada in the trio was eaten so fast. The kibbe and falafel were also top notch and my wife's favorite! Would order over and over again."
"The Chicken Shawarma sandwich was good, hot and tasty with lots of protein. The flavor while good was more new age and less authentic. The Hummus with gyro was okay, I enjoyed the Hummus but the gyro seemed like it came from a box not carved from a spit"

"The salmon was amazing, had great flavor. The sauce that came with it was flavorful and very good. I would recommend getting two as the single one doesn't cover enough of the bowl. 10/10 definitely ordering again."
"So fresh & tasty with lots of textures & colors. I don't usually care for quinoa but it was very good and full of flavor. I added some bleu cheese and I should have ordered more of the basil pesto vinaigrette as this is a LOT of food and I like the additional flavors and moisture."

"The Spicy Chicken Suga Rosa is so good! It's literally one of my favorite pastas now. Perfect amount of spice and bursting with flavor. Large portion. It was packed full of chicken so lots of protein. Ugh, I'm hooked! Will definitely be ordering it again."
"eaten here before but usually get the carbonara & was craving chicken. despite the mixed reviews thought I'd try $12 Alfredo Classic with Chicken. not traditional; the chicken is herby, good, moist & the sauteed veggies are good,I think where it can improve is either more cheese or a different variety/quality. you need to eat the Chicken and veg. separately from the pasta, as alone you can barely taste the cheese. if you paired it all together you would definitely not taste the cheese."

"$12 Gyro (Beef / Lamb / Chicken) I ordered the chicken Gyro it was so delicious with there fresh veggies and the delicious White sauce. My Dasher took extremely long to pick up my order from the store SO the store threw in a bag of ruffles to go with my sandwich which was a nice gesture even though the store wasn't obligated to do that. Anyways I get their BOWLS all the time too and they are just as fresh and delicious. 5 stars every time."
"This is theeeee BEST $12 meal deal on Door Dash. I get it all the time, this is my third time and first time getting the chicken and I think the chicken is my favorite-it's so flavorful. Everything is always so fresh this time they gave me a great portion. The first time they did too, last order the portion was a little light but I will continue to get the $12 meal deal from fresh kitchen. 5/5 stars"

"One of my shrimp still had the shell on it and I wish there was just a little more crab Especially for the price or an even ration or crab and shrimp would be better but all in all tastes very well! "
"For the first time ever after years of ordering takeout from Pappadeaux, our usual orders were not good. They did not do my sub for white rice. The seasoning on the rainbow trout was too much & not enough sauce. The Pasta dish was like spaghetti with a small amount of sauce & not much seafood. Not at all like what these dishes usually taste like. Must have been someone new in kitchen who did not follow Pappadeaux usual high standards. Very disappointed for this much money."
