" I had the pleasure of dining at Ishtar Gate last weekend and boy, was I impressed! The lamb gyro was massive and bursting with flavor. The spices were perfectly blended, and there was a delightful crunch from the fresh veggies. It was indeed the best gyro I've ever had and I've tried many places in the city. It's a small spot but has a cozy vibe that makes it perfect for casual dining or takeout. I also had their baklava for dessert, and it was a sweet ending to my meal. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to this place for years, and I can honestly say that Ishtar Gate never fails to impress. Whether it’s for a late-night snack or a full meal, I am always satisfied. Their lamb kebab is spicy and juicy, and the side of garlic sauce complements it beautifully. It’s a small, casual place where you feel welcome, and the staff is friendly. Great for takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Ishtar Gate a few days ago and had one of their delicious chicken shawarmas. It was perfectly spiced and complemented by juicy veggies. The only minor setback was the limited seating arrangement—I had to wait for a table. But the wait wasn't too long, as their efficiency was impressive. Definitely a place worth visiting for authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

Everything was well-seasoned, and you can see a personal touch in each dish. It’s beautifully comforting food that makes you feel at home. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)
