Reviews Baklava Grill

Today we decided to head back to one of our favorite places that we last visited in 2019, and we remembered why it was our favorite: excellent flavor combinations and great food! We both had steak shawarma, and everything included was excellent! The grape leaves appetizer was our starter, and this one beat every other grape leaves appetizer that I’ve ever had! The flavor in the sauce was incredible! We will definitely be back, this time much sooner than we last visited!

One of best halal 🇱🇧 resturant in orlendo . Highly recommend. We came here daily while our stay in Orlando

Most authentic Lebanese food you can have. Amazing flavor, look, taste and service.

Great food, great service, love the baklava’s definitely gonna come back

Great experience. The staff was very friendly, the food was delicious, prices were fair. I don’t know what else anyone would want from a restaurant. I will 100% be back despite it not being close to me.

The food was great and the people were nice! I enjoyed the Shish Kabob - the beef was juicy and tender. The Tabbouleh was fire, probably my favorite. The Chicken Shawarma was good too! However, I’m disappointed with their Falafel - it was definitely overdone. It was dark brown and extra crispy on the outside with a bitter taste to it. As for desserts, the baklava was full of texture with just the right amount of sweetness.

I honestly love this place. Food is always great, you might be waiting up to 15 minutes for a shawarma but that's because it's fresh and made to order so I think that's fair. Service is nice and staff are friendly. I always recommend to friends, if you go and unsure don't be afraid to ask recommendations or explanation as to what a dish is, I promise no one will judge you if you're not familiar with the cuisine lol.

So I have been doing my best to explore Orlando cuisine far and wide. I heard that this place has some of the best Middle Eastern food in the city. At least according to the fine readers of Orlando Weekly. So I grabbed a couple of friends and took the long trek down to Hiawassee and checked it out. I get in this place, and I see just delicious food displayed everywhere behind the glass. There's nothing better than watching those spinning meat sticks in the back getting ready to get eaten by me. I check out the menu and weight out my options, knowing I kind of want a little bit of everything. I decide to get the Chef's Platter for 2-3 people (Chicken Kabob, Shish or Kafta Kabob, Hummus, Tabouli, Grape Leaves (V) & Falafel. Served With Garlic Sauce & Pita Bread). And, because I wanted it, I also got the Chicken Shawarma Platter (Marinated Chicken Breasts Roasted Slowly On A Spit, And Cut In Thin Slices). I mean, everything was good. So good. The kabobs were awesome. Charred to perfection and not dried out because of it. Don't just eat them off the stick, though. You gotta grab of a hunk of meat with the pita, dip it in the hummus, maybe a little garlic sauce, a slice of pickle on top. Basically I'm telling you to get your hands dirty and play with your food here. This kind of cuisine is so much fun for that. The hummus was better than anything you can buy in a store. Mega creamy, and teeming with spices. The falafel was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the outside, like a Lebanese hush puppy. And the pita bread was so soft, so rippable, and the perfect vessel for me to make dozens of little sandwiches with multiple flavor combinations. So good. Also also, the shawarma was excellent. First time I've ever had shawarma, which is surprising, since I saw the Avengers back in like 2012. Very flavorful. This one was a little dry, but hey, all meat that's barbecued like this can be dry. That's why we invented sauces. And tabouli and hummus and rice, and pickles. Very good stuff. Overall, I really really loved this place. I wasn't sure how I'd like the Lebanese focus with the foods that were more basic Middle Eastern, but everything new I tried here was really excellent. The staff was super friendly and made me feel welcome. I will definitely be back here one day.
