We went for lunch last Monday and the restaurant was full at noon! That should tell you something. It's been a favorite lunch spot for us for several years now. The food is always very good, the service is fantastic and they go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. I always comeaway with something from the shop too. My favorite is the gyro with fries. (Photo from Azars Instagram, because I always forget to take one, hahaha.)

Authentic, local mediterranean gem! Long time local restaurant and goods. Must visit to appreciate the quality of authentic food. Pictured are the gyro platter, chicken tawook platter, stuffed grape leaves and a Taste of Azars appetizer.

I love the food, well I only actually get the same dish time after time. The Salmon and Chicken kebab platter with the rice, veggies, hummus and pita bread. Well today, I even got pita and hummus as a complimentary bread type for dine in. The chicken wasn't as flavorful today but the salmon always hits the spot with flavor. And the veggies are grilled to a charbroiled perfection. Must try if you are looking for some Mediterranean food.

Had dinner at Azar’s in the Pembroke area. I ordered the pick 2 with Lentil soup and salad. My husband ordered the Chicken wrap. Both dishes were served with pita and their homemade hummus. The lentil soup was delicious. I love the salad it had good fresh romaines lettuce with cucumbers tomatoes red onions and feta cheese. The chicken wrap was crunchy and delicious. My favorite thing is to shop at the market attached to the restaurant. I love to bring home goodies such as hummus, baba ganoush and their garlic dip.

This one was a pleasant surprise. I'd only ever been to the other Azar's in Hilltop, but my wife told me about this location. Upon entering is a small grocery section that I would absolutely buy from. We love making our own grape leaves and this is one of the best places to buy the leaves. They were fairly busy but we were able to get a seat sooner than expected. The atmosphere was very relaxed. Lights were dimmed and conversation wasn't too loud or overbearing. I ordered the lamb burger and it had to be the best I've ever had. I have no complaints. It was cooked exactly to my request. Excellent flavor. My friend got the kebabs, beef and chicken, and they were cooked to perfection. Looking forward to my next visit and trying more menu items.

Genuinely very delicious food! I’m a big fan of mediterranean style food, the veggies were fresh, the portions were good and it was less than 20$. I stopped here on a whim for a late lunch, and it was the best food choice I’ve made all week!! I got the pick two, with the falafel wrap and greek salad! highly recommend

Finding this restaurant was definitely a bit of a an adventure. It's behind a Citgo on a dead end street. I ordered the pick 2: Lentil soup and Baba Ghanoush wrap. Let me just say the packaging of my to go order was fantastic. The soup was good. I enjoyed the wrap; it was very flavorful. It was my first time trying Baba Ghanoush and I wasn't disappointed. I look forward to trying other dishes. They even have several items for purchase right in the front of the restaurant.
