The food here is great but the service is so slow it's incredible. They are completely empty inside, and i ordered a salmon ceasar salad and chicken kabob platter. It took them 53 minutes to complete the order, that I was told would be ready in 20-25 minutes. They have a family in here at 7:35 only one table and two toddlers one of whom is screaming his head off and the parents aren't saying a word to him about not yelling. Neither is the restaurant owner or waitstaff.
I'm sorry but 53 minutes is just not acceptable under any circumstance for such a basic meal. I could literally go somewhere and have a sit down meal and have it done faster.
The owner or waitstaff was apologetic and said they had to cut the salmon. He offered me a drink but I don't want to stay here a minute longer than I have to. this is the second time I've waited well beyond what I should have and was told. Apologies don't give me my time back. Or calm the headache I have from being hungry and having to listen to children screaming.
While the food may be great- don't bother coming here unless you want to wait for a long time. I won't be coming back.
They catered for my husband's co-workers wedding. The food was hands down delicious. The chicken, beef and shrimp were succulent. The hummus, salad and other main course which I cannot remember were remarkable & unforgettable. My little girl enjoyed the hummus and pita – she's a picky eater. The owner was at the wedding and he was genuinely nice and approachable. He forgot to bring a business card at the wedding, but luckily I found his restaurant on a Yelp.
Thanks to Svetlana and Eugene to having them catered their wedding. Food was unforgettable……and you both looked beautiful on your special day.
We're going to make it to this restaurant this summer and will continue to update this.
Avo's Grill recently sent around a menu to houses in my neighborhood.
I live REALLY close to the restaurant and when I bought my house 5 years ago went there during a break in a weekend of marathon painting. I was really disappointed by that first meal and as a result didn't come back until I saw the menu and noticed their "Express Lunch Specials" which run Monday -Saturday. I decided to give them a try on a Saturday for lunch.
So glad I did! First of all, I love that they have their lunch specials running on Saturday and not just M-F.
Since rediscovering them I've done pick up orders and I also brought their menu to my office for our huge lunch orders. Today the whole office ordered from there. There are about 14 of us and we're a hard group to please with many diverse tastes. I think I can unequivocally say everyone was happy!
The portions were huge, fresh and delicious. The burgers my coworkers ordered were seriously massive. And if you order a falafel on a Pita, don't think it's the tiny little sandwich pitas you get and stuff at the grocery store. These were large pitas that wrapped around the stuffings. SOOO good and really satisfying.
As often happens on large lunch orders (seriously, like every time we order …) someone's order was forgotten. They not only brought the order that was missing, but they brought 7 deserts for us. Some rice pudding and some amazing desert called the Vesuvius which their menu describes as: A dark brownie cake with a layer of caramel and fluffy cheesecake topped with chocolate mousse, then dipped in chocolate ganache. Finished off with chocolate drizzle and walnuts." … it is seriously the best desert I have EVER had. Would make an amazing Birthday desert or for a special occassion. We got four of them delivered into the office and each desert is so rich it can easily satisfy four people or more.
The only constructive thing I will add to my glowing review is that the interior of the restaurant is really boring. Furniture is nothing special. Walls are nothing special. Given how good the food is, I think they could be even so much better with even a slight remodel, adding some new chairs/tables, changing up the paint and maybe adding some more region specific decor.
But all that said, food is what it is all about and Avos does not disappoint. So glad I gave them another try and almost sad that I waited so long!
I ordered from this place a few days ago and had their beef kabob platter. The food was alright, but it's definitely on the pricier side for the amount of food I received: very little beef and a lot of rice. The delivery man couldn't find my apartment and had difficulties entering my building, so the food wasn't as warm as I wanted it to be (not to mention that when he arrived, I was super hungry). Another disappointment was the fact that they charge for delivery. Not a very good experience..
This review is for the take-out/deliver food. I've never actually eaten in the restaurant.
Let me first start by saying that I really love their food. I've had a few items, and have ordered delivery quite a few times. I've gotten different kabobs, I love the shepherd salad, and I've gotten it with different toppings, like feta cheese (which I ALWAYS add) shrimp/grilled chicken, the phyllo dough filled with the cheese is also a favorite. The shrimp wrap is also delicious and their burgers are huge.
My only complaint is that there is a delivery charge, and they add on tip. The tip doesn't really bother me that much, as it's the same amount I usually tip anyway but the $3 charge from EAT24 is annoying to say the least. I'm not sure if there is a deliver charge when you place the order yourself via telephone.
I do, however, LOVE their food so I will definitely be placing an order again in the near future.
