marble top cafe

thisplaceis great! i had the special. the special was a gyro sandwich, fries, and iced tea for 7.99! then a friend and i split an order of baklava! mmmm!

i’ll just start this out by saying the food is amazing. we’ve been ordering from here for the last 5 years and never had an issue. i’ve raved about thisplaceand have absolutely loved it. recently i’ve noticed that they’ve been slumping on pita. whatever, how you make money i guess. tonight i ordered from seamless for the second time in 2 weeks—like i said the food is amazing. we always get the beef sheesh kebab. apparently they’ve decided to instead give you 2 sheesh kebabs they now give you 1 cut in half. i’ll admit i don’t know why i’m so mad at this. perhaps it’s when i called and complained they said they always had that size of sheesh kebab. i’ll tell you even my husband was miffed and completely noticed the lack of beef, and i was hungry. don’t mess with a hungry mother of 2 young boys. so after ordering from here for 5 years i’d say i’ve never had half sized sheesh kebabs. i’ll say i called seamless and they were sympathetic even though i doubt they could hear me through the cries and grumbles of hunger and reimbursed me for one meal. i think that’s totally fair as i only received 1 meal. i’m sad to say i won’t be ordering from here again until they get their act together and go back to serving what their menu promises. when i promise my oldest 2 cookies and i just give him 1 cut in half, believe me, he notices too!

i really liked the ambiance, the guy who manages theplaceis really friendly. the food was good and flavorful. we managed a late lunch of fafafel sandwich and veg platter with some mint green tea and baklava. the baklava was made with honey which is different from the rest as most have sugar syrup. however, it wasn't much flaky and crispy. the bread was soft which stayed soft after time.

we asked to swap the dolmas for fafafel, and he did so. along with that he gave us two tahini sauce, one extra for the extra falafels.

it's a niceplaceif mediterranean food is on your mind.

don't fly by thisplacewithout trying it. this is a wonderful little mom-and-pop shop in a forgettable strip-mall on ward parkway, so it's easy to fly by it and never notice the place--especially with a name that tells you little about what's inside. don't let either of those cause you to miss this little gem. the food is wonderfully fresh, clearly prepared with care. the chicken schawarma is my favorite of anywhere i've eaten, hands down the best in kc. the salad is really nice, too, and their chai tea is a real treat (for the extra $1, get the size for two, it's well worth it). the service can be a little slow sometimes but remember it's because this food isn't sitting on a rack waiting for you to come in. this is the kind ofplacethat makes you proud to support the independent restaurant owners and feel good about choosing them over a chain. enjoy!
