" I was really keen to try this restaurant based on positive reviews, but my experience was somewhat mixed. The service was upbeat and friendly, but the food fell short of my expectations. I tried the falafel, which was decent but a bit oily for my taste. I think I’ll give it another chance, as everyone does seem to love it. Fingers crossed for a better experience next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I left The Friendship Grill feeling full and happy. The menu is impressive, and I decided on their falafel wrap after seeing others rave about it. It did not disappoint—crispy falafel paired with incredibly fresh toppings and sauces! The atmosphere was lively, decorated with photos celebrating the staff's efforts. More than just a restaurant, it feels like a community hub. I'm definitely a fan and will return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fabulous! The falafel is on another level and tasted so fresh, it was clear it was made with quality ingredients. The atmosphere was warm, and I enjoyed the music playing in the background. The staff was friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. I will definitely be back again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sure, it's a unique concept, but I think their food needs a little improvement. The falafel was okay, but I expected it to be crispier. The environment was great, and the tables were really clean. The staff was friendly and tried to help, but the food itself left me feeling unsatisfied. I hope they can refine the dishes a little more because the potential is there. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found The Friendship Grill accidentally while wandering around and I'm so glad I did! The menu features a variety of Mediterranean dishes, and I tried their famous falafel, which was some of the best I’ve ever had. It had that light, fluffy interior and a crunchy exterior. Service was quick and friendly, too, adding to the pleasant dining experience. I would absolutely return to try more of their offerings. " (*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*)
