" It was my first visit to Assad’s, and I ordered their falafel along with some sweets for dessert. The dessert was delightful, with the baklava being particularly noteworthy. The falafel was crisp and satisfying. The only downside was the interior, which is a bit cramped. However, I expect to try their full menu on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Assad's Mediterranean Cuisine for the first time last week, and I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations! The falafel wrap I ordered was bursting with flavor, and I loved that they offer a vegan-friendly option with fried cauliflower and eggplant. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. With their fresh ingredients and authentic Mediterranean flair, I can't wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Assad's was simply outstanding. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a smiling staff that clearly takes pride in their work. I ordered the mixed grill platter, which featured perfectly spiced kebabs and juicy chicken. The portions were generous, enough to satisfy my appetite, and I especially appreciated the side of fresh salads that came with the meal. The charming atmosphere of the restaurant made the experience even better. This place is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean cuisine in Cleveland! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Assad's a few times now, and my favorite has to be their knafeh. It's sweet, cheesy, and completely addictive! The welcoming nature of the staff makes each experience a joy. While it’s primarily a grocery store, don’t overlook the delicious meals that await you. I’m looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Assad's is an incredible spot for authentic Mediterranean food! Their falafel is not only crispy on the outside but also moist and delicious on the inside. Each bite transports me to the bustling marketplaces I visited abroad. The staff is helpful and kind, making me feel valued. The only drawback is limited dine-in space, but that hasn’t stopped me from going back. I highly recommend their fresh baked goods 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.
