The food was good and I enjoyed a Gyro Wrap and I must say it had good flavor. The service was a bit lacking they never came back to check on us and there was only two other people in the place. For the last stated reasons I gave it a 3.

It’s my new favorite place. The place looks outdated but the food is very very good. Like the best I ever had. The portions are huge. Enough for two or just yourself if your greedy like me.

Everyone in this place is totally friendly. They have the usual things you would expect in this type of place all middle eastern fare. I’m a huge fan of falafel and they make great falafel here. The pita breads are always fresh and soft and delicious and everything I have tried his been great. The baba ghanouj has a great little tang to it. I’m sure they’re following the traditional recipes but for some reason they work very well in this location. The physical location is in Springfield which if you live in Jacksonville you know has been socially and economically challenged for decades. There was this big push maybe 10 years ago to revitalize Springfield and it helped a little bit but it’s still pretty challenged. This location has a few parking spaces on the street in front you can park around the side also and it seems very safe but I don’t come here at night so I really can’t comment on the nighttime. There are probably six or seven booths and a couple tables also. The staff which I believe on the place, are always accommodating and really concerned about making the food the way you like it. When I have a craving for Middle Eastern it’s worth the drive across town to come here.

Let me start by saying I grew up in Saudi Arabia and this is my comfort food. I was very impressed by my meal! It tasted like home and I swear I could eat here every day and die happy. I took a second to get to know the chef and what a small world it is. He just happened to live not far from my home in Saudi Arabia. Great people and amazing food! This is a must stop at place!!!

I really wanted to love this place and give it a higher rating, but«just okay» is my final perception of wafaa and mike’s café. I’ll start with the good. I ordered the falafel platter for lunch($ 10.99) with a side of Greek salad and stuffed grape leaves. It came with pita and tzatziki as well. The best part was definitely the falafel. They were delicious! The staff was also quite friendly. But, on to the not so great part of things. For the price, the size of the side portions was on the smaller side, particularly the salad. Then, there are certain expectations of Greek/Mediterranean food that I have. For instance, canned black olives(which were what was on my salad) are not right by me – gotta be kalamatas. Also, tzatziki that is thin rather than thick and creamy and not very flavorful is definitely problematic. To top it off, I had a hard time eating their pita bread. It was very thin and hard to take a bite out of. The stuffed grape leaves were ok but nothing to write home about. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be going out of my way to stop by there again.

Delicious Mediterranean food run by a very nice guy. Support local food! We got the hummus to start. Delicious! The hummus was flavorful and seasoned with some oils and spices. I got the fattoush salad with grilled chicken. It came with homemade fried strips and all the makings of a perfect fattoush. My husband got the chicken shawarma which was equally delicious. We are definitely going back! Tip: open Monday– Friday until 9 but call before you go because if it’s a slow night he closes early(usually Monday and Tuesday). Also open the last Saturday of the month for the Main Street cruise.

This place is a gem, and in the Top 5 on my search for my «usual» spot for Friday lunches. I had a gyro with baba ganoush and was blown away by yet-another hole-in-the-wall with amazing food. Picking up the tab for my colleagues was an easy choice with their affordable prices. It is a definite must!

Best gyro platter in all of Jacksonville! The owners and wait staff are some of the friendliest people and everything they serve is extremely fresh.

I have just returned from this experience. The food was good. The temperature well above 80 degrees. No A/C, no fans, no papertowels in bathroom, no bread for subs, and they have taken fried chicken wings off of the menu. I would definitely go back if they invested in an Air Conditioning System, or maybe in the winter months. No one wants to eat hot food when their already sweating. Brutal!

I wish I could agree with most of the other reviewers, but I just can’t. I have eaten at A LOT of middle eastern restaurants. The kibbe was flavorful but it was cold in the middle and doughy. The tabouli did not taste fresh and visually the tomatoes looked and tasted old. Since many reviewers were raving about the falafel I had to order it. I had the falafel wrap. The falafels themselves were tasty but unfortunately, I encountered the mushy, not fresh tomatoes on a larger scale. The lack of veggie freshness forced me to remove the falafels from the wrap and eat them without any accompaniments. On the bright side, I had a lovely server.

So we were so lucky to end up here at lunch time. This place is fantastic! The atmosphere is adorable and quirky. The server was as sweet as can be. The food is authentic and made inhouse. We ordered the combo platter and fattouch. It was enough for three hungry women. They have the best falafel I’ve ever tasted. The chef is friendly and easy on the eyes. We parked right in front on a week day at lunch time. Waffa N Mike, please move to Los Angeles!

I really like this place. Authentic food. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are good sized. It is a little run down. Parking is also a little bit of an issue.

Great food. Atmosphere isn’t much to talk about. Staff was mediocre. Prices are a bit high for what you get. gyro platter was 12.99 then drink was extra. I didn’t leave hungry but I wasn’t overly stuffed either.

Kibbie wrap for $ 7.50 was amazing! I will certainly be recommending this place to my friends & family. The inside is clean, spacious and the staff is super friendly. I will be back!

Shwarma wrap with pickled beets, so delicious. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Sometimes they closes early, so call first if you’re going late in the evening. Opens every 4th Saturday of the month.

I am so glad I found this place. Where else can you drop your car off for an oil change and sit down to a fantastic meal. The food is always fresh and never greasy. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

Wafaa and Mike’s has the BEST falafel wrap I’ve EVER had(and I’ve eaten a lot of falafel wraps). Super fresh vegetables & yummy falafel on traditional thin pita would be good on its own, but then they add pickled turnips and mint… amazing. Trust me it’s addictive. They staff & owners are also very friendly and welcoming & I’ve had good service every time I’ve been. Delicious, authentic Middle Eastern food –highly recommend!
