We pass by this restaurant all the time and finally decided to stop in for lunch. I am so glad we did! The entrees are definitely large enough to share, and I could not stop eating the hummus and warm pita that comes with the entree. We did also get the Chicken Shawarma sandwich along with the Mix Grill entree to try despite having more than enough food, and it was delicious. You can tell food is made fresh, very good. We stopped in at an off time during the day so it was quiet, but it sounds like they also have music and even belly dancing at night which could totally make the vibe even better. Definitely recommend!

The food was absolutely delicious. The portions are HUGE and the prices are low. We got the mixed plate and the gyro. I can’t wait to go back and try more things.
This place had some really good authentic middle eastern food and everything is fresh and home made. I had the mixed grilled meal it came with hummus, baba gonoush, and Salad with pita bread. I also had sage tea with grape leaves. The grape leaves were OK but everything else top notch.
I had an amazing experience at VIP Hookah Lounge and Mediterranean Food in Cincinnati / NKY Area. This is easily some of the best food I’ve had in the area. The flavors are truly authentic—if you want to experience what real Mediterranean cuisine tastes like, this is the place to go. The portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable, and the customer service is outstanding. What really stands out is the taste. It’s the kind of flavor you don’t usually find, even in larger cities. This place is truly a hidden gem. If you’re looking to try something different, healthy, and full of flavor—far from typical fast food—this is a must-visit. Highly recommended. Highly recommended.
Extremely good food, atmosphere, and people :) They are so nice and generous :) We ordered the mix grill and they gave us a ton of food, way more than we expected. They also gave us free water when we dined in and changed the music to something we liked. The place is also very clean. Everything has gotten better since the new owner took over. We will be back!!
