" Honestly, this was my first visit to Assad's, and it definitely won't be my last! I ordered a selection of their baked goods, including meat pies and baklava. They were absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and authentic, and you could really tell that everything is made fresh. The vibe of the place is warm and inviting, perfect for catching up with friends while indulging in some great food. I am looking forward to coming back and trying their lunches! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I'm not an expert on Mediterranean cuisine, my experience at Assad's Mediterranean Cuisine was delightful! I tried their falafel and found it to be crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside, which is precisely what I love. The taste was authentic, and the garlic sauce they provided was superb. I appreciate that they also sell a variety of Mediterranean spices in their grocery section. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I'd love to go back and try their sweets next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m genuinely impressed with the level of authenticity at Assad's. The flavors in their shawarma took me back to my travels in the Middle East. The wraps are sizable, enough to fill you up after a long day. I enjoyed chatting with the owner, who shared a bit about the history of his dishes. The bakery also has a nice selection of sweets; I couldn't resist trying their baklava! This place is a treasure in Cleveland for anyone who loves Mediterranean food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit I'm quite picky when it comes to Mediterranean food, but Assad's has completely won me over. My husband and I have been a few times now, and each time it has been a delight. The hummus is creamy and flavorful, rivaling anything I've had in the Middle East. We also really enjoyed the spinach pies; they were perfectly baked with just the right amount of seasoning! The staff is always so friendly and treats you like family. If you're looking for a reliable spot for authentic Mediterranean eats, look no further! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended I try Assad's Mediterranean Cuisine, and I’m glad I took that advice! I sampled their baba ghanoush and was thoroughly impressed by the smokiness and depth of flavor. The pita bread served was also fresh and delicious. Although the shop is small, it has a nice cozy atmosphere. The staff was kind and helpful. I think I would like to come back and try their other dishes, as I've heard great things about their desserts too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit apprehensive at first due to the market-like setup, but let me tell you, Assad's serves some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. The grape leaves were flavorful and tender, and the staff was accommodating in explaining the different items on their menu. I highly recommend stopping in for a meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Assad's while exploring local eateries, and it was a pleasant surprise! The falafel was unlike any I’ve ever had—crisp and fluffy, served with a refreshing side of salad. The atmosphere is more casual, with a grocery market vibe, but that didn’t detract from the quality of the food. I fully intend to return and try their baked goods on my next visit.
