Food was Extremely flavorful and juicy. The rice and hummus were delicious, the whole plate was delicious honestly. They have a very nice spice on their meats, every bite was amazing with how moist the chicken was. Definitely 10/5 stars. Clean place also, lots of drink selections too. Service was also very fast and polite, dined in and was out in no time. Went back and got Falafel to go as a snack for later.

Well, I have eaten here several times now, i will say the sandwiches are simply the best, they're just so good. The favors are divine. As was the soup, and tried the deserts also. The service is quick. It's without doubt a great place if you like mediterranean food. I'm hooked.

I am just amazed at how a wonderful this place is. I ordered a pretty good array of their food and everything was spot-on perfect. Shawarma was extremely flavorful but not over the top, the kabobs were delicious and juicy, the gyro was prepared perfectly with that little bit of crisp to live in things up. The place was very clean the restroom was nice and the staff was extremely friendly. It's also a great value as the portions are very large and you will definitely not go hungry. They also have a wide array of dessert options which are just as well prepared. If you like gyros or any Mediterranean type food, hell if you just like food you should come here. Order the two-person and you will definitely find something you love.

So good! Highly recommend! For our family of four, we ordered two Chicken Tikka plates, spicy chicken curry, eggplant soup, lentil soup, pita bread. Perfect combo. My kids are obsessed with the chicken tikka - so tender and mildly seasoned. I loved the spicy curry to bring some heat. The eggplant soup was so delicious, I can't even explain it. We will be ordering this exact combo on the regular now.

We just finished DELICIOUS carry out from Taj Ali - my husband had the chicken tika - the roasted tomato was fresh and full of flavor and the chicken was so tender. The house made hummus is creamy and well seasoned. I had beef shawarma SAJ and it was fresh, hot and perfectly seasoned. The star for both of us was the garlic sauce. I could see eating it on EVERYTHING. So glad to have this local business just down the street!

Went to visit my son at UNL and he took me there. Very hospitable and friendly staff. Great food and freshly made by a wonderful family. Tasty food.

Best mediterranean food in the region. I like their chicken kababs. They have two locations in lincoln

Food is a 10 on flavor, cooking, and it presents well. You could tell that care and quality went into preparation. Good value and should be voted as a Lincoln's best.

Ordered the chicken and beef kabob meal togo. Food was nice and hot after a 15 min drive home and was a very generous portion. The rice was nice and fluffy and the chicken and beef kabobs were bursting with flavor. The garlic sauce was not overpowering and the hummus was nice and light with the olive oil on top. The other meals looked delicious, and I will definatly be trying some of the other items in the future.
