Reviews for Azar’s Mediterranean Specialties in Virginia Beach, VA

Amazing food and great service. The lamb swarma is delicious! It?s the real deal, not your typical American-Mediterranean... restaurant. Maza platter is a must, comes with stuffed grape leaves, hummus, tabouli, and Baba ghanoush all some of the best! Read more

We love this place. It?s hard to find back behind the gas station but well worth the effort. I had the goat cheese pizza tonight... and it was excellent. My wife had chicken tawook and lentil soup is her favorite. The service is super friendly. Highlyrecommend !! Read more

The food is great- just what I love. The service is also great and the owners are so friendly. I love the market with... specialty items and ingredients that are not easily found elsewhere. I highly recommend this quiet out of the way restaurant -a real gem! Read more

Good customer service if the staff knows the requirements of middle eastern food. Food is a culture, so when a restaurant claims... to have it, they should have it all not only a name and some music. I ordered Kabab! They served rice without a spoon, "grilledbeef" with three pieces of pita bread "paid extra $5 for more bread", I chose according to the picture on their website (thatcome with sidings) then I had to remind them about. Had to go to another restaurant to get more fast food. Read more

My wife found this place and we decided to try it out while vacationing here. Food is absolutely fantastic as well as the... service. We were a table of 6 people 3 of them being young kids and they were accommodating and very helpful. I would go to thisplace again. They did auto add 20% gratuity which i didn?t like. I think they would have gotten more if they didn?t do that butother than that this place is great. Read more

Stopped by for lunch while we're in the area and quite satisfied with the food. I'd say their menu is more extensive compared to... most of the Mediterranean fast food places. Kefta wrap with hummus was very delicious and just the right amount. We enjoyed thedessert Awesome Lia which was a nice replacement for the middle eastern dessert knafeh - this was made with mascarpone instead.We also ordered Turkish coffee and to my surprise, it was served sweet! Although Turkish coffee is made with or without sugar,it's the choice of the person who will have it - it's always confirmed prior to making it. Our server didn't ask. Not a big dealexcept it is if you don't enjoy your coffee sweet. They have a mini grocery area next to the dining area selling Mediterraneangoods. I've seen most of the stuff at other Mediterranean stores except for the Lebanese beers and wines. The wines were on theexpensive side but tried the Lebanese pilsner and was extremely satisfied.

It's a shame this place is hidden. The food was insanely good. I had the shwarma and lentil soup.. we got some appetizers. Ine... of them being the garlic bread. That was fantastic. There was some house made butter that had me ripping through that like a kidopening gifts Christmas morning. Read more

The staff and restaurant itself is amazing. The hummus was good, although not fresh pita. I also had the fries which were... seasoned really well. What dropped the rating so much was the lamb shank I got, which I ordered with basmati rice instead ofpilaf. The lamb was very bland, no flavoring and the "sauce" was just mixed canned veggies in curry sauce. I was verydisappointed. It looked and tasted horrible. Read more
