I ordered the Vegetarian Plate with lentils and rice, hummus, spanakopita, and some lettuce. I was so thirsty I drank 16 oz of water and ended up with a migraine headache from the sodium. If you are looking for an inexpensive Mediterranean meal, you might...enjoy Safir. If you are sensitive to salt, find another option.More

Really yummy. The fast food (and it was definitely fast) of Greek food. Decent quality. I found the ordering a little clumsy, but that could totally be user error. Hummus was a little bland, but I got lots of it. Greek salad was exquisite. Good...portions.More

We ordered online and my wife drove downtown after getting a text message confirming our order only to find that they did not have our order. They quite rudely told her they were out of what we ordered (a Mediterranean restaurant out of chicken shawarma!?!)...and the only thing they could do is give us a refund. They claimed they tried to contact us, but I had my phone the whole time, and no one called or texted - other than the text message telling us that the order was ready! It was clear they were really busy and it felt like they just wanted to get rid of us. I called to speak with the supervisor and express my displeasure with their service. He was unsympathetic and full of excuses claiming that she could have waited and they would have made our order, but that is not what his staff told us. All around, they were neither friendly nor did anyone ever even make the slightest attempt to rectify the situation.More

Located near our hotel, we walked by this modest storefront and got two dishes to take out. The chicken shawarma was great and very reasonable. We had leftovers for the next day's lunch.

Its in the center of downtown and a little hidden but well worth a visit. They have nice people and get the food out quick and we were surprised at the quality and fair prices.

Excellent food. Ordered 2 Chicken Shawarma sandwiches (1 without the sauce and 1 regular sandwich with everything) sandwich was made to order, accurate and tasted fantastic! Large in size and well worth the money.

We like eating here when staying at the hotel down the street. It is simple food but well done and at a price you cant beat.

Stopped in for solo dinner. Menu was clearly posted in the window so there were no surprises. I got the Chicken Schwarma...big plate for $10. They had it ready in about 2 minutes. It was delicious. They had tables inside to eat at, and some...tables out on the street. Nice people too. These guys have done everything right, I can not think of any reason to give them anything less than a perfect score!More

My office and I eat here often. Food is pretty good but please check your food before you leave. There had been several times the food id not what we ordered. Today I ordered 2 Beef Sharma sandwiches. I pick up the sandwiches and drive...the 15 minutes it takes to get back to my work. I open up the sandwich and notice its chicken. I called and the girl tells me more or less that there is nothing they will do about it unless i bring it back up there. I try to explain that I worked 15 minutes away and it would not be possible. She again says there was nothing she could do about it. SO i just paid $14 for sandwiches I cant eat. My money or yours don't mean much to them. Usually about 4 of us order at a time. Very disappointed we have to find a new place to eat for our office lunches.More

I had the falafel platter and my husband had the chicken shawarma. Everything was delicious from the pita, hummus, and tzatziki to the rice. Would definitely recommend.

This little place in Louisville is easily overlooked. It is amazing and you should definitely try it. It is fast and low prices. You can order to go or sit. They have tables for 4 or small booths. The staff is also very friendly.
