Sinbad’s Restaurant

Food is good, but placed an order on grubhub and delivery time was almost 2 hours. I had to call the restaurant several times and when the delivery driver showed up he used the excuse that he had been pulled over. I ordered the family combo meal and was shorted on 2 soups. The portion for the salad, pickles, hummus, and yogurt was very small. I felt like I was probably shorted on that as well. Food is decent but can get better service without being shorted on food from other locations. Disappointed.

Great service and amazing authentic food! We had to box up half of our food because there was so much. Prices were affordable. Everything was homemade. My husband had lamb shanks, and I had a gyro plate. Delicious! We will be back.

Found this place on 24eat. Com and couldn’t wait to try it. It said delivery could take up to an hour so I sat back and waited. When an hour came and went I tried to call the restaurant and got busy signals. When I looked up the business hours it said it was closed. After about 10 more minutes I drove to Jack in the box and got a munchy meal. When I got back, there was a really mad guy out side my apartment. It was an employee, with the recipe in one hand, yet no food in his hands! I couldn’t believe it. But at that point I had food and not going to take the order. Almost 2 hours :(

Hummus and Meat is off the chain. Fresh pita melts in your mouth. Hummus is also fresh and divine. The meat they use is cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. I am in love.

Excellent food, great service and very good prices. So glad we came here for lunch. It was so worth the wait to eat here. Ordered half a chicken with rice and the meat shawarma plate. Each dish comes with a free soup, 2 appetizers and 2 bread. The half chicken also came with a choice of (marag) side. The portions are very generous. Everything was delicious and fresh. The bread was baked right in front if us. Wish it wasn’t too far away from home otherwise I would’ve been here every day! Definitely coming back any time I’m at this side of town! Strongly recommended.

Absolutely delicious! I always try to eat somewhere new when I come to Phoenix and you cannot go wrong here. I ordered gyro, baba ghanouj and hummus with meat and was very satisfied. The price is right too! I will definitely eat here again.

Middle Eastern bakery/​Deli and it was the bomb. Had lamb shank and it came with everything they had in the place I think.

Delivery service was just terrible. It took them 75 minutes (they quoted 45 – 60) to get the food to me, and it was barely warm. When the driver showed up I noticed that one of the food containers was on its side. Opening it up revealed a gloppy mess of falafel and hummus. Really not great. The beef shwarma had to be heated up, as did the pita. Overall, this was a frustrating experience and a complete disappointment. Maybe things are better if you go into their restaurant but I won’t be following up.

Amazing food and great prices! Gyro’s were great! Bread, veggies, meat and sauces were all delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed all of our food! And they deliver too! Will be ordering from them again soon! Thank you!!!

Used Grub Hub for delivery. Some food is a little pricey, for example some appetizers cost more than $ 5. Over-​all I thought it was decent and way better than this other place. They gave me 2 huge pieces of flat bread, that was pretty cool. I ordered the 2 gyro special and they were great. It would be nice if all the dishes came with sides though.

This place has amazing food I come here all the time for lunch LOVE the hummus & chicken and also the freshly baked pita breads soooo good!

My order took over an hour to get here and it was cold when it did get here. The driver tried to tell me he didn’t have change and thought I should just give him a $ 15 tip when I told him he could take the good back he «suddenly» had change. Two of the containers were crushed and food everywhere in the bag. The service and good was terrible. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. When I tried to call the restaurant to talk to the manager I was told he was too busy. Never again

Another trip to Glendale to test drive a car for my friend when we got hungry, drive by this middle eastern place that had 4.5 stars on Unilocal.I’m not sure what the raves are all about. I’m being generous with my 1 stars: 1 star for the fresh bread, 2^nd star for the soup. 0.5 stars for the appetizers (uneven hummus, ok baba ghanouj, yogurt dip, some eggplant salad as they were out of fattoush & tabbouleh). These appetizers come with the $ 30 combo chicken & meat plate served on a bed of rice. 0 stars for the olive oil (looks mixed with other oils). –2 stars (that’s negative 2) for the dry over cooked unseasoned meat & chicken. This place does not represent even a semi decent middle eastern food. Avoid.

I use this restaurant for Mediterranean/​Arab themed dinners for groups of about 15. We get 3 of the Sinbad’s combos as takeout and it comes to about $ 100 and usually feeds us pretty well. I’m not a big fan of their grape leaves, and that’s usually a draw for me. In general, the sides aren’t that great, but the meat is good and the bread is fresh and always excellent.
With the big mosque nearby, there’s a lot of good options in this neighborhood, but Sinbad’s is probably my favorite.

It was a (satisfactory) surprised! It’s total locally owned and operated… food were really good and inexpensive. This is not a typical daily (nor weekly nor monthly) food that I would try, but the one time I did — it was really a good experience (food and ambiance and service). So, I would come back here soon… in a few months.

Great restaurant food is always fresh Their bread is the best always ready and hot. I always get the Sinbad Combo Platter enough food for 2 – 3

Good food, good price, authentic, nice people, and the pita bread made right there in front of us

Well, we finally got in there last week to check out the expanded location. The food was extremely good, as always.
As a vegetarian, there’s not a ton of choices for me in terms of entrées. They do have a wonderful falafel. Mainly, however, I go there for the appetizers. And I’m just a huge fan of their breads.
Anyway, it’s no longer a hole in the wall. The dining area is delightful. And, I could tell that the folks working there had a little extra bounce in their step as a result.
It’s the perfect place to stop by on your way home to pick up a falafel sandwich or a gyro. or just grab a package of their bread. But, once you walk in and see the place, you will want to stay and have dinner.
I have yet to try their breakfast, and I will update my review once I have.

The food is the right price, tasty and authentic. However the food take a little while to get out to you so expect to wait at least 10 min for a gyro.
This makes it a so so lunch spot if you are on your lunch break, but a great place to go if you are having lunch with a friend.

I totally feel like Unilocal let us down on this one. We’ve eaten LOTS of mediterranean food, and this wasn’t anywhere close to the best. To the point that I was wondering if we were in the right place. The service was super friendly, almost to the point of being overbearing, and the 3 of us ordered about half the menu. Unfortunately, I liked maybe 1 thing. The schwarma with rice was insanely dry and bland, the tabbouleh tasted like it was mostly onions, the pickles had a really odd flavor (probably they were fermented), the hummus needed flavor, etc. The bread was good, but bland. Seriously, Mediterranean food is all about flavor, and this food had none.
That and the creepy movies playing on the tv in the back of the restaurant were enough to make me wonder what all of the other reviews are thinking. Seriously, go to Pita Kitchen in Avondale.
