Reviews for The Grape Leaf in Louisville, KY
Imteresting restaurant. The bathrooms, for instance, have round basins where people can wash their hands, not the usual bathroom... wash basins. The whole atmosphere implies the Near Eastern background. The food is OK, not great, BUT the prices for some itemsare more than EXCESSIVE!!! We ordered a whole range of dishes in order to get a full perspective on the food: vegetarianmusaka with rice and lentils, samosa with lentil soup, humus with pita, and drinks. The musaka was a tasteless brown mash,while the rice and lentils had too much oil in it. The samosa was OK. The great surprise was the drinks. The diet coke glasswas $ 4.00 dollars, but the lemonade glass was a WHOLE $ 7.50. We were shocked: what did that lemonade have more that some lemonjuice and some sugar? Have the lemons gotten so much too much expensive? We are disappointed because what seems to happen inthis restaurant is a clear and obvious customer RIP OFF!!! A SEVEN DOLLARS FIFTY CHARGE FOR A GLASS OF LEMONADE THAT COSTS AT AGAS STATION $ 1.50 IS LUDICROUS!!! We will not return to the restaurant. Read more

I tried there gyro and it was really good. If you like spice then try there spicy habanero sauce has some really good spice and... flavor! Try your meal with a Turkish coffee and the flavor of the notes really go well with the food! Read more
Don't live in Louisville or the state of Kentucky, and was there for a meeting. In my single visit, I enjoyed the healthy, clean... food. The pita was warm and fresh. The waiter was kind and attentive. Took food back with me for the 6 hour drive back home, andit was the best choice I could've made rather than stopping for fast food. Read more
I ordered the mezza sampler i chose the babaganoosh, avocado smash, and the spanikopita and added the grape leaves for an... additional charge. The babaganoosh had an overly charred flavor that overpowers the essence of the actual eggplant. The avosmash had a verry organic taste with no added flavor but thats fine bc i enjoy plain avocados. The spanikopita was crispy anddelightful and oddly the grape leaves were served very warm. For my entree i ordered the sumac chicken with saffron rice andcauliflower. Interestingly enough it was packed with layers of flavor and aromatic deliciousness that seemed more authentic.Lunch cost me $40 so its kinda pricey for what you get but the service provided was nice.

I?ve passed this restaurant a thousand times and never dropped in, but finally did and was happy I did. A fairly large menu of... Mediterranean options for vegetarians and non vegetarians alike. The hummus was great and the shawarma was delicious. Thewaitress was lovely and the service fast. Drop by and don?t delay. Read more
Loved it! Food was delicious. The menu is clearly labeled as V/GF and offers both options (as well as oil-free dishes). Service... was great. Meal portions are very generous. Read more
