" I had high expectations after hearing good things about The Friendship Grill, and I wasn't disappointed! Their falafel was freshly made, crispy, and flavorful, just as I remembered from my travels in the Middle East. The service was attentive and made the experience all the more enjoyable. Not only is the food great, but knowing your money goes towards such a good cause makes it even better! I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

A wonderful experience overall, and I would recommend this place to anyone who craves authentic Mediterranean food. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I visited The Friendship Grill last week, and it was an experience worth sharing. The staff was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the menu with their recommendations. I opted for the schnitzel, which was superb! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, served with fresh green salad that made it all come together beautifully. I’ll definitely recommend it to others and can’t wait to eat there again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't know what I expected, but The Friendship Grill completely surpassed it! The service was phenomenal; the staff showed genuine care while explaining the menu. I ordered a schnitzel wrap and some sweet potato fries. The schnitzel was golden brown, juicy, and went perfectly with the garlic sauce. The fries were crispy and seasoned just right. You can feel the love that goes into every dish they prepare. Can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
