" Our visit to KANDAKA Mediterranean was delightful! The owner took the time to speak with us, and that personal touch really made our experience memorable. We shared several plates, and every dish was exquisite. Still, I found myself wishing for more veggies with the kebab—just to make it more balanced. Nevertheless, I look forward to coming back for more amazing meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a birthday celebration here and the service was impeccable! They catered to our needs with the utmost kindness. The food was fresh and authentic, though I'd say it's slightly on the pricier side for the portion sizes. Nevertheless, the ambiance was inviting which made our celebration even better. I would definitely recommend it for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first experience at KANDAKA Mediterranean today, and I can definitely say this won’t be my last! I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, and it was juicy with flavorful spices. The owner was very welcoming, which made the experience even better. Even though it was a bit crowded, the service was surprisingly fast. I’ll be recommending this place to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited KANDAKA a few days ago and had a fantastic experience! The gyro was probably the best I've had, fresh, flavorful, and not overly seasoned. The service was displayed with true hospitality, making my dining experience special. I will be back for more for sure, just a sweet little spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had takeout from KANDAKA Mediterranean, and it was wonderful! The gyro tasted so fresh with all the right spices, and I was surprised by the portion size for the price. Though the dining area looked a bit chaotic when I picked up, the freaked-out service staff were probably managing a busy dinner rush. They were nice enough, though! Overall, a great addition to the food scene. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Mediterranean spot I've been to in a long time! KANDAKA does an excellent job of keeping the food fresh and flavorful. The chicken shawarma wrap was scrumptious—definitely a must-try. The owner is very personable and made sure I had everything I needed. The only drawback was that the dining space felt a bit cramped at peak hours. Still, the food more than makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The authenticity at KANDAKA Mediterranean is outstanding! You can taste the love and effort put into every dish. My recommendation would be to try the chickpea salad; it’s a delightful mix of freshness and flavor. On the downside, the service can be a bit slow during peak hours, so plan accordingly. But overall, worth it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)
