“ Food was amazing and fresh! Outside patio is relaxing. Love this place ”
“ Great food that was appropriately priced. We stopped in for lunch, tried a couple of their entrees and the mint pomegranate frozen lemonade. Definitely would recommend stopping by for a quick bite for lunch! ”
“ The Grape Leaf is the best spot for Mediterranean food in the area! They have the best hummus I have ever had and they offer very good portions on all their meals! The service is always quick and polite as well. I have never waited more than 10 minutes for all my food to have come out either, very on top of it here at The Grape Leaf. ”
“ Great food. I have had take out and dine in service. The tabouleh salad is fresh and flavorful. I would also recommend the zattar pitta, the hummus, the kabobs and the lentil soup! Lots of great options. Street parking. They do take reservations. ”
“ My favorite food is their babronia, which is a combination of beans and veggies in a red sauce with spices. It tastes so good, and you cannot get it anywhere else. I also like their baba ghanoush and their grape leaves. Mmm!!! Their Greek salad is also my favorite, but I forgot to take a picture of it on my recent visit, because I ate it so quickly. Lol. The waiter we had forgot to bring our silverware and plates for appetizers, on our previous visit. He apologized, and gave some silverware after our food had arrived...he said they were quite busy, but we were one table out of about 5 other tables inside. :/ One thing my family did NOT like was the sauce that came with the samosa appetizers. It tasted like Kraft honey mustard from the store. ”
“ Really cool place to grab some local Mediterranean food but on expensive side... We got the lamb swarma wrap, hummus and pita, falafel gyro, and Greek salads. Hummus was probably the best thing imo. Could tell the food was fresh and it was tasty. The lamb swarma kinda tasted like a burger tbh and lacked some pizzazz in flavor. But I still enjoyed it! The falafel gyro was bombalicious however. I honestly think this place is worth a visit and would be enjoyed ”
“ I absolutely love eating at this restaurant when I’m In Louisville. The Biryani with chicken is always my go-to dish. Fresh chicken, veggies, potatoes, and spices served over a bed of rice. I highly recommend it! ”
“ Delicious!! Enjoyed the lentil soup, hummus with falafel (best I’ve ever had - not at all dry, it was perfect), and cauliflower shawarma with black beans and rice! But the food didn’t hold a candle to the service Anna provided. Hostess and waitress - what can’t she do! We were impressed with how well versed she was in the menu. ”
