Jawad Grill

My family and I love Greek food, and since we recently moved to the north metro area, we are always on the lookout for new favorite spots. I’m really glad we decided to try Jawad Grill! We ordered a Grilled Chicken Plate, some Gyro combos and a Gyro Pocket combo, and were so impressed by the flavor and presentation. Everything was cooked beautifully, too. My husband actually fist-bumped the staff as we were leaving to thank them for the meal and assure them we’d be back. Haha. Heads up, the location and curb appeal are kinda lacking—I honestly don’t know if I would’ve stopped in if I hadn’t read the positive Google reviews. That’s why I’m posting my review! I wouldn’t want you to miss out on such yummy Greek food that’s just a few minutes from your front door. Enjoy!

Finally remembered to stop here for a dinner. Absolutely cannot believe how meaty and delicious these gyros were! Best I've ever had and a helluva deal! Meat Lover's Gyro was a combination of a Philly Cheesesteak and traditional Gyro. Gyro meat was seasoned well and was nicely charred. Steak was juicy and super tender! Was really one of the best sandwiches I've eaten period 🤩👅 Falafel was also quite tasty with the Tzatziki. Can't wait to come back! If you love a well made Gyro, you ought to try these!

Jawad Grill has some of the best hummus in the metro area. First, it’s gluten free and absolutely delicious. Served with their grill-warmed pitas make it twice as nice for those that can eat them. Baba ganoush is also GF. The service at the window is kind, patient and very helpful should you have questions about their menu. Dining in is clean, open and well lit.

Service: The cook/owner – not sure if he’s one or both – was friendly. He is the only one there as far as I can tell when we first arrived at about 4:30ish pm. Later I saw a teenager walking around and cleaning already cleaned tables. You put the order in and he does give you a buzzer for when the food is ready. He did forget my order of samosas but that was easily remedied when I went up to the counter and reminded him. If I didn’t remember that I ordered it, I would’ve paid for something I didn’t get. Food: There were 6 of us. 3 ordered the Philly Steak sandwich with French Fries and a drink combo. One ordered a Gyro burger combo w/ fries and drink. One ordered the #20 Kufta Shish kabob and another ordered the #24 Jawad Grill. Both of these combos did not come with a drink so we had water. And we chose rice as our side over fries or hummus. A salad was included. I was pleasantly surprised how tasty and abundance the food was. The ratio of rice to meat was a little off, there was a bit more rice than I wanted but still tasty. I wished that there was a little bit more of the roasted bell peppers and onions, I think I got one of each on my Kufta plate but sadly the onion needed a little bit more time on the grill. It’s still a little bit on the raw side. I also thought the yogurt dip was a little bland and wanted a little bit more seasoning and kick to it. The fries on the sandwich and burger plates was actually pretty good and crispy even though we know it was from frozen. The kids definitely approved of the Philly steak and burger combo plates. Big thumbs up. The samosas were a bit bland. I like that it was made fresh but the filling was basically ground meat (beef?). Overall: Small mom/pop place – Dine in or take out. Not sure if they deliver. The dining area was clean. Some tables did not have any napkins or condiments, but we just took some from the other table while there. Dining area can accommodate larger parties. The bathroom was a bit dirty. It does need a good cleaning. Lots of dust on the floor especially behind the toilet. Floor needs a good scrub as well. Be warned, if you use the toilet, the flush pressure is 0 and it will look like the bowl is about to flood. There’s two TVs on the wall. They offer catering services as well. Recommendations: I would definitely recommend this place if you’re in the Blaine area. It did exceed my expectations. Food was freshly made. And the owner/cook was friendly.

Saw this place was highly reviewed and stopped in & we were NOT disappointed. Staff was super friendly and welcoming, space was super inviting & the food was incredible! One of the best gyros I've had in MN & the fries were equally delicious, 10/10 will be back again!

I love a good gyro and this place was fantastic! Mouth watering good! I don’t know if these fries were battered or just seasoned perfectly, but OMG they were good! Highly suggest stopping in.

My husband and I have wanted to go here for a really long time!Tonight I stopped in and got the Beef Philly Cheesesteak and Chicken Philly Cheesesteak for my hubby and I, and the chicken tenders basket for my kids to share. The food was so fresh and tasty. So much so that it probably was the best chicken philly we have ever had. The staff was warm and friendly. The restaurant was well kept and clean. Excited to try the Greek food!

We've been eating at Jawad for a few years now. This place needs more public recognition because the food is so good. Its location is a bit off the beaten path and its in a strip mall which probably doesnt help. If they were located in a busier area I think they'd be more talked about. Food: Their Gyro's and Philly sandwiches are some of the best I've had. Tons of meat and very flavorful. The french fries are really really good also. They have that "twice fried" kind of texture to them. Not sure what oil they use but it makes for some very good french fries. My wife gets the grilled chicken plate (kabobs) every so often and it also is very very good. The rice that they serve is just incredible. The seasoning is unique and very flavorful. They need to do more advertising as I know a lot of people have no idea they are there or what they serve. Hopefully reviews like this help as they provide really good food at a really good price. One of our favorite places to get take out.

Great food and price. Pretty quick too. Nice people. Love coming here for lunch after church!!!

The chicken gyro is quite large, delicious, and meaty. Unlike other gyros I've tried, it's not dry at all. It has a light, juicy sauce that I can't quite identify--perhaps it's a combination of chicken juices and a light oil. Either way, it's quite moist. The price is around $11-12 à la carte. I wish they offered a combo deal for $14 that included fries.

Stumbled upon this place after looking at their rating on Yelp while in the area and had to try it. Yes, it is located right next to a gas station, but hear me out... Very unassuming location with plenty of options for everyone. Their menu covers anything from Philly cheesesteaks and hamburgers, to gyros and rice plates. Surely you'll find something that caters to your preferences. We ordered the Kufta Shish Kabob plate to share, along with a 6pc order of falafel, and some french fries. Portions are HUGE -- 2 people can easily eat off one plate. The Kabob plate was loaded with different types of meat, grilled onion and peppers, rice, and a refreshing side salad, as well as a tzatziki-style sauce. Meats were well seasoned and tender, rice was fluffy, and veggies had a nice char to them. Believe or not, the fries were a highlight of the meal! They have a light coating that gives them the extra crisp and seasoning that makes you eat them non-stop. The falafel was delicious as well and the pita was fresh, warm, and soft. Overall, great meal, but it is self service: you order at the register, you pick up your food when ready, and you clean up after yourself.

We happened to drive by this spot and promptly looked it up on Yelp only to notice it held such a high rating. We love finding local, hole-in-the-wall spots that are tasty and cost effective. Being attached to a gas station's strip mall made this place memorable for sure. We split the #20 Kufta Shish Kabob platter and opted for the rice. The rice itself was packed with flavor, which is always a good sign. It came with a side salad, including a vinaigrette which helped lighten the meal alongside the tzatziki. The Kufta itself was flavorful and well seasoned, ensuring the gaminess of the lamb was not noticeable. The fries were spot on - meaty and crispy, exactly what we were looking for. The falafel was hot and fresh, giving us the classic falafel we were hoping for. Overall, we're glad we stopped. I gave a four rather than a five star rating because space is a bit dated and service was minimal.

Absolutely PACKED with meat and the sauce was the perfect compliment. Also loved the bear battered fries. Got my food out to me in less than 5 minutes. 10/10

Hidden gem in Blaine , big menu and it shows up fast. The gyros are great! Will definitely be going bavk again and again

It's an unassuming little place with oh so great food. The hamburgers & fries can't be beat. The Mediterranean food is so authentic. Gyros and salad & the yellow rice is so good. Step aside Dino's.

Such good gyros! The falafel sandwich fell a bit short for being a bit underwhelming with a small amount of product. However, I've been back twice and the gyros are delish! Thanks!

So good! Best gyros I have had in quite a while. Surprised to find them up here. The baba ganoush was very good as well.

The best little Greek restaurant in Blaine, MN. It's in a little strip mall but don't let that stop you -- the food is fantastic, the people who work there are so kind, and they have fountain soda which is always a plus in my book!

The food is great. Service is always quick and never too many people. We keep going back. Their fries with the hamburger are great!

We went here and all of us were very hungry so we tried a ton! Cheese fries are outstanding!! The gyro plate comes with flavorful rice and a very fresh tasting salad dressed perfectly! The pizza puff was great as was the philly! Huge portions, we had a ton of leftovers!! The girl working the counter was nice and patient while I placed a very large order. We will definitely be back or have it delivered as they do deliver I was told.

Food good but don't ask for a cup for water. Apparently the five cents kills the profit margin.

Got takeout for dinner. We ordered 3 entrees: gyro sandwich, kufta kabob sandwich, and the lamb shish kabob plate. We also ordered a side of falafel, fries and had to try the baklava. All was very good and reasonably priced for the portion size. The fries traveled ok for a 10 minute drive home. Would be even better if you could have eaten at the restaurant. As far as the interior of the restaurant, it was very clean and bright. Not what I expected from the outside. I've driven by this place many times living in the area and always wondered how it was. Well, it was worth checking out and not sure why we waited.

The only thing I've ever tried here is the Gyro and its very good and it's huge. Great service with good prices.

First time trying this location and it did not disappoint. We had the falafel, chicken shawarma and lamb kabob. Absolutely fantastic!! The chicken was super flavorful, the lamb well spiced and the rice delish. We inhaled the falafel with the cucumber sauce. Reasonably priced and ready for pick up when we arrived. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Holy Moly this place was amazing. Looking for a delivery option for something different tonight so we have this place a try. We had three Gyro sandwich's and an order of Jojos and we are all stuffed beyond full. I used the Yelp App to order which I thought was just dinner for my husband and I. Then my son showed up so I called them and asked if I could add another sandwich. They were so kind to add the sandwich for us. Amazing and so big.

Very solid gyro and hummus! Salad was decent but not as flavorful. Generous portions. Easy to get to if you are in town for soccer.

So good, huge portions, not sure how we missed this spot for years! Bet Gyros in the area for sure

I don't live near here but the food is so worth the trip. If I want a gyro or some grilled meat with rice, this is where I have to go and I don't settle for less. For the quality of the food here their prices cannot be beat! I've been eating here for almost 10 years (they had a different location before) and I'm never disappointed.

DELICIOUS!! And what's better than awesome food? Its big portions of said awesome food!! A kids burger meal, two gyro baskets, and an order of falafel fed two adults and a toddler three meals each. Even just the everyday items like a burger or chicken strips tasted better from their grill. The service is always super friendly and fast. SO glad we found this gem!

I ordered from Jawad Grill often and have never had a bad experience. Food is always delicious! I feel like their gyros get bigger every time I order!

Best kept secret spot in Blaine! The gyros are amazing, portions large and prices are very good. Salads are also very fresh and delicious. Fast and friendly service too. We definitely love this place!

I have to admit, Jawad Grill was actually remarkable. The price was very reasonable - I couldn't believe it! The food selection was certainly interesting, but Lamb Shish Kabob was especially wonderful. Workers are incredibly welcoming. They're accommodating, polite and always on their game. Jawad Grill - I'll be back, i hope sooner than later.

Place is fire! Gyros, kabobs and burgers are legit. I haven't had everything on the menu but those 3 things above are on point. Service is fast and the people working there are always nice.

I tried the classic Gyro and it was delicious really large portions for what you pay. I also got fried mushrooms which were a bit soggy but I still enjoyed them.

There food is so good you get sad when you finish. I work in Blaine and I am there several days a week

We stopped here just the other day, and I can tell you whenever I stop here, I am always impressed with the food, and the great guest service as well. No matter how busy they are, they always make sure that I am comfortable ordering, without a rush and their portions always seem to be just a little bigger than most gyros. When I walk in they always seem to be there ready to take my order, and it only takes like 10 minutes to get my food. Now even though most orders seem to be take-out, it was actually kind of nice to be 6 feet apart from a few of the other dine-in patrons. Now my gyro was so big, that I had to actually finish it at home. The best part was the big slices of beef smothered with some tiziki sauce. What couldn't be more cool than having some baklava for dessert, (which I actually had first, since I couldn't really wait). Now this place would be worth another visit sometime, maybe for some fish, a burger or even a gyro plate.

Although you may be tempted to drive by don't do it. You will be surprised by the many delicious selections and you get plenty of it. Wish I knew about this place sooner.

Had takeout the other night from Jawad. In store seating was plentiful, so would have eaten there if we were aware of that. Food was very tasty and servings are large.

Fantastic food! went with son after soccer game down the street. Had the falafel and some kabobs. So good! Looking forward to trying other items on menu. Lots to pick from and prices are good.

Hidden gem in Blaine! Who would have thought such a great spot like this would be tucked away in a strip mall. Check it out! I enjoyed the gyro and fries.

Don't drive by like I've been doing for years! Stopped tonight and we had a gyro and Philly cheesesteak. They were both delicious! Gyro is the biggest I've seen. Staff was friendly and went above and beyond!

Jawad is a great little restaurant hidden in Blaine. Food portions are huge and flavorful. Alot of things on the menu to choose from. If you like greek food and pitas, this place wont let you down.

Have been here twice. Got the gyro plate both times. Once with rice, once with fries. Tasty either way.
