Wally's Cafe

Great neighborhood joint! Cozy no frills atmosphere. Friendly service! Got a plate and was perfect for two people for $25. Plus they give you complimentary lentil soup and baklava. The lamb in particular was incredible. Recommend as a lunch spot!

Most delicious Middle eastern (Lebanese) food I have had in bay area. They served us a very delicious lentil soup which was complimentary, before our main dish arrived. We tried the Chicken Shawarma plate and Beef Shawarma pita wrap. Their food is immensely flavorful and delectable. The baklava was exquisitely scrumptious. A must try spot in Emeryville.

Food is always reliable and always delicious. I've been here multiple times and always order the Family Meal with Chicken and Beef/Lamb. Good portions and never disappoints. Serves 6 people family style. Includes your choice of 2 proteins + 8 sides: rice, greek salad, lentil soup, hummus, pita bread, tzatziki sauce, garlic sauce & baklava (6 pieces).

Amazing restaurant!! Really delicious across the board and such crispy fries. Baklava is really good, really airy and not overwhelmingly sweet - not as disgustingly sweet as other cafes that serve baklava. The pomegranate chicken was great, the Shawarma is amazing, the plates were delicious (they come with a side of free pita to eat with!) Employees are super nice too and it's so easy to chat with other customers due to the setting

A delicious lunch in a hidden gem. They have some great vegan options- falafel wraps, salads, plates etc. Great gyros too! Great place to stop and have a filling hot meal. Ambiance is very unassuming and charming in its simplicity, a real neighborhood spot.

We came here for lunch. It is a hidden gem in Emeryville. We were looking for a lunch place and never realized that there were was such a highly reviewed place. We came in to try for lunch. A very friendly hostess/server/manager lady greeted us and we couldn’t sit anywhere on the bar. The order was quick. The lentil soup while waiting for our meal was just amazing. It took the anticipation for the food for the next level. The main food was better than that, we had to order more while eating. The extra came in super fast. Baklava is a must have. It was perfect amount of crisp and perfect amount of sugars. Would definitely recommend it for a perfect Mediterranean food place.

Excellent food. Free soup and dessert however falafels are the very best I have ever had. Dish dash, eat your heart out. And sumac is claimed by both the Lebanese & Iranians. Hopefully, a war won’t be fought over this spice.

Typically I'm a bit slow to review, but I had to make an exception here. I recently went to Wally's Cafe with some friends for lunch, and we were very impressed. I ordered the chicken pomegranate plate, which was recommended by fellow reviewers, and I'm glad I followed suit. The chicken was tangy and flavorful, complemented by the pilaf and rice. My friends like the beef and lamb gyro, too. The portions were reasonable for the price. As good as the food was, the service was even better. The staff is extremely friendly and generous, providing complimentary lentil soup while we were ordering the entrees and some lovely pieces of baklava (also free) once we were ready to pay. They kindly answered our questions and made requested adjustments. When walking in, I noticed the "3-time Yelp Top 100" proclamation, but I still wanted to be fair in my judgment. But now I can see how they earned it.

Wally's always hits. This Wally's location is super small compared to the roseville location, with only the counter/bar having 12 seats and 2-3 tables outside. Super obscure spot, connected to a bar. We ordered on a kiosk, and the food started coming out quickly. They let us turn on the lamp outside to stay warm as well which was very nice. I got the combo plate with beef shawarma and the pomegranate chicken for $22. It comes with lentil soup and baklava. Plate was great, the rice seemed a little greasier at this location. The chicken was super good, I usually prefer beef over chicken but this chicken was amazing. Beef shawarma was really good as well.

LOVE Wally's! Feels like a mom and pop shop with huge portions and affordable prices. There is limited seating at this location so would recommend takeout here. My friend and I shared a chicken shawarma plate and some babaganoush and could not finish! Everything was so flavorful and delicious. They even gave us some lentil soup and baklava on the house!

Came here with a group after a long hike at Tilden! It was perrrrrfectly rejuvenating, especially starting with the lentil soup which might have been my favorite part of the whole meal. I got the falafel plate with rice instead of salad which was super yummy! Rice was fluffy and flavorful and I enjoyed the hummus and tahini that it came with. The falafels were certainly noteworthy as they were some of the lightest and crispiest falafels I've ever had! I was slightly left wanting more after the pita as it fell a bit flat on flavor and freshness, and I also felt as though the baklava tasted almost oily? (But it was so great that you get baklava at the end of your meal as well)! Overall, this was a lovely experience. You get seated at the bar and the vibe was extremely cozy and comfortable. The service was fast and they were very accommodating. I felt great being inside this restaurant and the courses including the lentil soup and baklava at the end is a very sweet and cozy touch. I would certainly come back here for a heartwarming and filling meal!

Wally's Cafe is a true hidden gem in Emeryville that every foodie needs to discover! The moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and the enticing aroma of fresh Mediterranean cuisine. Their homemade baklava is an absolute standout--layers of flaky perfection with a nutty, buttery flavor that melts in your mouth. It's easily the best I've had in the Bay Area. The Mediterranean rice is another must-try, packed with zest and a medley of spices that elevate every bite. Don't miss the grilled chicken shawarma--it's tender, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. Pair it with their lentil soup, which is hearty, comforting, and rich in flavor. Together, they make for a meal that is both satisfying and unforgettable. Wally's Cafe combines authentic flavors with exceptional service, making it a dining experience I'll keep coming back for. Highly recommend!

In my search for the best value/taste for Mediterranean food this place might take it! I order 2 plates and got 4 meals out of it. Ordered in door dash. Very good serving of rice. They also give you a baklava desert I can't eat though because I'm allergic. But the very large portions and taste was good! I got the chicken and lamb kebab plates and they were hella good! Also got a small side of soup which was good

Small restaurant with a mom and pop vibe. Only 2 tables outside for seating, and inside is one singular bar-type table in a U-shape. Not busy on a Saturday afternoon. Looked like most people who were dropping by were picking up online orders. My friend and I shared the chicken pomegranate plate. It came with lentil soup which was alright but it was free so can't complain! The plate came with rice, salad, tzatziki sauce, garlic sauce, and pita. The chicken was delicious. It was juicy, tender, and went so well with the flavorful rice. I loved the garlic sauce too!! The pita was a bit too dry/tough for my liking so I preferred the plate without it. At the end, the server (owner?) brought us 2 pieces of baklava. It was so flaky and delicious. Baklava is one of my favorite desserts so this was a very pleasant ending to the meal. Service was 100/10, the server was so kind and welcoming. All the employees here were so generous and friendly.

Great service - ?owner always so friendly even when it's so incredibly busy. They now take credit card (woot) but that also means they're busier so be patient and wait! We got complementary lentil soup and baklava and they really just round out the meal. A year since my last review and we still loved everything about this place!

Wow I'm shocked and amazed, although I shouldn't be given the Yelp review that drew me to this place. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of curb appeal, and I accessed the seating area by way of a bar. But what a surprise. Initially I was a bit shocked by the price. But that was my own fault. Everything came with sides that I ordered duplicates of. The lentil soup is worthy of an entire meal. It is the best lentil soup I've ever had. The Greek salad was average but quite tasty. And the chicken shawarma dinner and my friend's chicken shawarma wrap were enormous and couldn't have tasted better. My dinner came with a large side salad and a small bowl of soup. And to top it off, we got a couple of baklavas on the house. The restaurant is rather small. If you dine indoors, you'll be sitting around a horseshoe shaped counter. If you dine on the patio, you'll sit at a normal table. Either way you'll hear the music from the bar. I found convenient curbside parking right outside, but do not leave anything visible in your car or your windows will be smashed in. This restaurant was a surprise find on short notice. I've lived in the area for decades, and I never knew it was here. But I'll be back for sure. And according to the chef, the owner is opening another location in Rockland and the 3rd in Orange county. As for Wally's name, I'm not sure, But there are pictures of number 5 from the movie Wall-E all over the place. I love it.

Definitely some of the best mediterranean food I've had in the Bay area. The food is so fresh and everything is seasoned perfectly. It was also my first time have lentil soup and it made me like lentils (i'm usually not a fan). Tried quite a few items from their menu but what stood out to me was the beef and lamb gyro wrap! The gyro was so flavorful and the wrap was balanced in each bite. The garlic sauce that came with the combo plate was also soo delicious! I would recommend getting that in the side with whatever you order. The falafel was crispy and piping hot and perfectly seasoned too. And definitely best baklava I've had! This is THE definition of a hole-in-the-wall. So easy to miss! It seems to be connected to a bank of some sort. There is very minimal seating inside and outside but I hear this spot is popular for takeout. The lady who took our order was really nice. Overall really delicious spot!

Wally's Cafe, a hole in the wall located in Emeryville, easily became one of my favorite spots to eat at. It is located behind/beside a bar, with a separate entrance down an alleyway. Customer service was amazing, super nice and welcoming staff. Served a delicious complimentary lentil soup upon arrival and from that point on, I knew that no matter what I ordered from the menu, it would be delicious. I was right. I got to dibble and dabble into my brother and his girlfriend's choices which also didn't disappoint. Portion of the plates were unbelievable. I personally got the chicken shawarma plate and it was incredible, along with the tzatziki and garlic sauce. To top it off in the end of all the greatness comes the homemade baklava. And I'm speechless. SO GOOD. Highly recommend Wally's Cafe. Can't wait to eat here again.

Amazing authentic food!! We had Kafta & Chicken Shawarma to go - took it to the park. What a picnic!

Little out of thw way Lebanese joint in Emeryville. I love that the dining area consists of a U-shaped counter, close in to the kitchen. Lentil soup served as you sit is very good. Baba and falafel made in-house and both exceptionally good, as is the tahini in both. I've been looking for a place like this since I moved back in August.

Wow this place is incredible. I got kafta kebab and my partner had kafta + chicken. The food is fresh and very flavorful. We will be back!

Honestly, I was astounded that I'd never heard of Wally's, but with their unassuming location, I can see why. My former boss and coworker wanted to grab lunch together. He requested the Mediterranean, and a quick Yelp search led us to check out Wally's Cafe. The restaurant is tiny and practically hidden to the bare eye. Find their small sign between the bank building and walk down the alley to find them. It's a casual and homey spot with two tables outside and counter seating inside. The lady who helped us was lovely but service was quite slow in terms of ordering and receiving our food. We all agreed that the price, the portions, and the quality were well worth it--we all took our leftovers home. Complimentary Lentil Soup to start our meal and Baklava to end our meal was provided. Both items were flavorful and an unexpected treat. We all ordered our plates, I got the Chicken Schwarma Plate. First off, the plate was massive and practically twice as big as my head. Half of it consisted of a fresh and well-dressed salad while the other included rice and protein. The dish was aromatic, well-spiced, and extremely filling. I'd love to come back to try their other offerings! If you're looking for quality Mediterranean cuisine and don't mind a hole-in-the-wall and cash-only spot, Wally's is the way to go! Find them off San Pablo Ave. Parking is hard to come by on the street so I recommend parking in the shopping center across from the restaurant.

One of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in the East Bay, Wally's, has also one of the strangest entrance pathways. When we first came here 12 years ago, we walked through was seemed like an alley between a bar and two garbage dumpsters. When we went last week, we walked between a bank and two garbage dumpsters. The restaurant is small. A counter surrounds the kitchen and is lined by around a dozen or so wooden swivel chairs. Small paintings on the wall show houses from Greek villages (is my guess) and the robot from Wall-E. As we ate, we could watch the kitchen bustling, one person marinating meat, another cutting up baklava. The food here is simple, but delicious. Our meals started with a complementary lentil soup containing a blend of spices that warmed the soul. Each of our entrees came with a fresh salad (romaine lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, and a vinaigrette) a bed of saffron rice and some thin pita wedges. The lamb skewers were tender and well seasoned. I absolutely loved the chicken pomegranate - diced pieces of chicken with something like a sweet and savory glaze. Meal finished off with a complementary piece of baklava. Places like Wally's are why people go to hole in the wall restaurants. Tucked away somewhere inconspicuous, you will get awesome food with really friendly service.

I love dining at Wally's. They are literally a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. You could be walking by on the street and not know that there's a little restaurant hidden down the tiny alleyway. I feel like I am eating at a friend's kitchen. As soon as we sat down and ordered, they gave us each a bowl of lentil soup. With the rainy weather, the hot bowl of soup really hit the spot. I ordered the lamb kabob plate and my husband ordered the pomegranate chicken. Both were delicious. I actually liked the pomegranate chicken more than the lamb I ordered. Both plates. Are with rice and salad. And at the end of our meal. They gave us each a small piece of baklavah, perfect little treat. Portion sizes are very generous and we couldn't finish. There was enough leftover to probably feed another person! The indoor seating area is limited. But on a Friday early lunch time, it was only 3 people eating inside, and I think there's maybe 15 seats around the kitchen area. I love that we can sort of watch them cook and prepare food. I wish they had a little more business because I really like this restaurant and want them to do well. I first discovered Wally's maybe 14 years ago. Many of my favorite restaurants have changed or have closed down since the pandemic. Wally's menu is more or less the same as before and the place still feels the same. I love it. Please don't ever change!

Still the best Mediterranean food in the East Bay. The high quality service makes the food taste even better. I've been eating here over the years, and their quality food and kind hospitality hasn't changed. They really make you feel like you're family when you dine in. We had the combo plate with chicken pomegranate and beef shawarma, and the beef and lamb gyro wrap. Chicken pomegranate is just irresistible. And portions are insane. We shared the combo between two of us and couldn't finish. Cash only. They don't include tip, so if you appreciate their hospitality at all, tip extra. Phenomenal food and service, we will be back over and over again!

Support ya local Lebanese joint! Wally's in the heart of Emeryville's diverse restaurant scene, is tucked away in the back of Bank Club bar. If you're lucky and get street parking, you can enter through the bar or you can walk past it and go under their non-descript sign by the steel patio. I almost missed it! Once I walked in, I knew their Lebanese food was going to be legit. They really need an update in interior and aesthetic. BUT the smell of bleach and the clamor from the Bank Club--they're connected through an open doorway, gave it such a unique vibe. They only have bar seating, and it's the old school kinda bar seating where customers eat facing each other on one plank of jutted out wood. You'll know once you see it. The sweet man working the bartop was packing up my order right when I walked in. There was only one other dude at the bar enjoying his delicious meal. I was so surprised that with every entree, you get a lentil soup and a balsamic olive vinaigrette salad. SO tasty! Their falafel wrap is divine, and the chicken shawarma plate is so tasty. I'm smitten with their delicious saffron or turmeric rice, whatever it is that stuff is the bomb. I heard many good things about their falafel, and totally agree they're super tasty. I wish there were more in the wrap. The chicken is flavorful and so juicy. Portions are very generous, and definitely enough for leftovers for multiple meals. Sweet people, even sweeter food. Support local biz!

This place gave such a homely vibe and the owners were super nice and it felt like I was getting food at my uncles house . They start you off with a complimentary lentil soup. Pros: good quantity for food, very friendly staff Cons: it could be a little bit more clean Ambiance: 3.5/5 Taste: 4.5/5 Value: 5/5 Service: 5/5

Looking for a new spot to pickup dinner on our way home from Berkeley and found this place on Yelp. Reviews look promising and really hope to find a hidden gems as other Yelpers have noted. Unfortunately, it is not as good as I have hoped. We got there around 5:30pm on a Monday night. There were two diners at the counter. We were immediately greeted by the main guy behind the counter. He is genuinely warm and friendly - 10/5! We ordered chicken pomegranate (4/5), combo plate with beef and lamb (2/5), gyros with beef and lamb (4/5) and hummus (4/5) to go. He packed three lentils soup (5/5), two salads (3/5), and three pieces of baklava (4/5) for us as well. That's so nice of him! Personally, I like the lentils soup and gyros only. My hubby thinks the chicken pomegranate is awesome. That's why I rate it 4/5 as he really enjoys it. I still rate the overall experience with 4 stars as the server seems to be a hard working nice guy. The two staff at the kitchen are busy cooking non-stop. I see they do have a lot of to-go orders as there are a few pickups while we wait for our food. I hope they continue to get great business. If you are in the neighborhood, you should definitely stop by to check them out. I sure glad we did!

Wally's is PERFECT! 5 stars all across the board. It's been a while since a restaurant impressed me at first visit. It is cash only so come ready or stop by an atm, but there's also one inside with a fee. We were surprised to get a lentil soup and pita bread for free as an appetizer. Ordered the shrimp plate which comes with a salad and a flavorful dipping sauce; shrimp was perfectly seasoned and tender. Not to mention the portion sizes are decent! We got the hummus which was made in-house and amazing, but I wish it came in a smaller size. To top it off, each person gets a FREE balaclava for desert. I was craving mediterranean food and this spot is one of my favorites now! It's family-owned, we got the kindest service, and the open U seating creates a nice atmosphere where you can watch the chefs cook. I highly highly recommend stopping in!

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 VIBE: - small business with lots of heart, it's an Emeryville staple - CASH ONLY - it's an intimate dining room with bench seating, this time I ordered to go though FOOD: - pomegranate chicken and rice (5/5), you get so much flavor and big food portions. meal comes with salad, lentil soup, and baklava - hummus with pita bread (5/5)

This place is truly a hidden gem, tucked behind a small gate on Telegraph. On entering we were greeted with a small bowl of their delicious lentil soup as we sat down at the horseshoe counter. Hummus, baba ganoush, tabouli, dolmas are all homemade, served with a basket of grilled pita. There are also Mexican offerings, but we stuck to the Mediterranean dishes. As comforting as the food is the hospitality. A small plate of baclava was set down with the bill for an unexpected sweet finish. Highly recommended!

I guess this post never made it, found it in my Draft box..:/. .. YEARS later... this place was my spot for Pomegranate Chicken....i tried it a year ago, it was still good... hopefully still good

Aside from the food being REALLY good/flavorful, one of the reasons why I will always opt into ordering from here (usually DoorDash) is due to the amount of food given. The portions are HUGE. Other Mediterranean food spots don't even match the quality of the food, let alone the quantity. Wallys does not skip out on flavor and portions, and I'm really thankful for that. Don't bother with other spots. You won't be disappointed here. Never have they missed when I order from them. And this is me writing my review PRE receiving my order because I know they always deliver. Thank you Wally's!!!

PORTIONS: filling and hearty PRICE: appropriate, maybe even a steal! SERVICE: table side style SURROUNDINGS: cozy FLAVORS: (5/5) lentil soup (5/5) baklava (5/5) labne with toum- I like to pair it with veggie platter (5/5) chicken livers BONUS TIP: so much fresh vibrant stimulating flavors!

I understand the hype. The portions were large. The service was fast and everything was absolutely delicious. If you are craving shawarma, falafels or some mezze this is your spot. I can't wait to come back.

Food: 8/10. Cannot comment on service and ambiance as I ordered through DoorDash but I got the pomegranate chicken. To my surprise it came with salad, pita bread, lentil soup, and baklava! Might've been disclosed in the app but clearly I didn't read lol. * pomegranate chicken: tender but very tangy. The bed of rice was also tangy so it was a little too acidic for me my stomach was bubbling lol. Came with a couple of yummy sauces tho! * lentil soup: yummy but a little salty * baklava: delicious! While I wasn't thoroughly impressed with my order I'd still love to visit in-person and perhaps try a different dish based on other great reviews :) maybe the food experience is better in-person

First off, the prices were reasonable and I ordered ahead online. When I went to pick up, parking can be kinda tight so I parked shady and just ran in quickly. l ordered a combo plate of lamb and steak. That comes with a side of salad and rice pilaf. I'm not sure if it was supposed to come with pita but I didn't receive that. However, I did receive a complimentary side of their famed lentil soup and some baklava. The attendant at the front was very friendly and welcoming and my food was ready upon arrival.

We've ascended to the next level. Z is running around serving people but he finally manages to get you a complimentary bowl of freshly brewed lentil soup, I could've frankly had 4 bowls of that for dinner itself and dipped. Couldn't chose one dish so I snagged an entire vegetarian platter, not a bad bite was had. Falafel was freshly fried with delightfully vibrant green insides. Baba ghanouj was curried perfectly well (I could tell coz I can't stand eggplant and I finished every morsel of it), the hummus was irresistible, the tabouleh the freshest accompaniment. My date had the chicken shawerma and I could see why that's a local's favorite. Combined with their rice, each bite was an experience, the culinary journey the cooks and that kitchen must has gone through to enrich the dish so deeply is remarkable, combined with the depth of flavor in Mediterranean cuisine reflecting millennia of evolution. Their tzatziki and yogurts went along with everything well too. The hole in the wall nature just adds to the experience.

I've been eating here every time I'm in town since 2012. It's everything you want from a (literal hole in the wall) family restaurant. It's authentic, familiar, intimate and humbily unchanged with trends. Amazing loaded lamb and beef gyros... complimentary lentil soup and baklava. Generous amount of crinkle cut fries or onion rings for $2 extra. it's not a stretch to say it is my favorite spot in the Bay Area and absolutely worth the time if you're in north Oakland/Emeryville or hop off BART at MacArthur stop it's a 5 minute walk. Oh and it's attached to a bar... so you can have a few beers during your visit or wait if they're busy. Why spend $15-$20 for lunch that's junk fast food when this is an option? Especially now that it's not "cash only". Thank you and please never change Wally's!

can't recommend this place more!! It is such an unassuming place, but filled with so much character, kind and quick service and delicious food. I will definitely be back

Wow wow! This place is an entire experience! I did not realize that each plate came with lentil soup, pita bread, and a slice of baklava :) staff is also very kind and chill. Just note that it's cash only and the ATM charge was about $3. We realized that this place is named Wally and has a Wall-E poster. There's indoor high stool seats as well as outdoor seats.

The food is so delicious, and the service even better, I eat here multiple times and it's always a pleasure, they treating costumer as a family, specially the lady who works there, thank you!

So, I originally went here because of an Elite event. I'm so glad I had the opportunity! I've come another time since! I haven't had the chance to dine in but their online system makes it SUPER easy to pickup and literally grab & go! Food is extremely tasty. It is out of my way but I'll be back again! I wasn't expecting the lentil soup (not my kind of thing) or the baklava () so there was plenty to share. Just make sure you have mints -

The best Mediterranean food in Bay Area hands down in my opinion. It's a literal hole in the wall but you're created with free lentil soup , and homemade baklava for desert. For mains I had the gyro plate and it was 5/5. They actually make their own gyros and is not pre bought meal. Also they had amazing service. It is cash only but they have an ATM inside

The food was really good. We got the pomegranate chicken, chicken kabobs and the beef plate. The best was the pomegranate chicken. The kabobs were good, and the beef was my least favorite. They give you a lot of food, a lot of rice (their rice is really good and seasoned) they gave you a lentil soup and some pita bread. This place is kind of hard to find but once you find it it's behind a bar. Very small mom and pop shop. Thy only take cash (which is a bummer) but they have an atm machine inside. Workers are friendly

If it wasn't for my husband and his group who used to work nearby... I would have not discovered this place. It's legit a hole in the wall. There isn't a big sign visible from the street. You have to walk through an alley and voila, you're there. Their portion sizes are on the generous side. Food is very good and no nonsense. We had the chicken shawarma and beef/lamb gyro w fries. They also serve you complimentary lentil soup to start and baklava at the end. Super friendly service. Cash only.

I ordered delivery from this establishment so I can't speak to their physical setting or service on grounds. What I can tell you is they make excellent falafel. Unfortunately the rest of my order was not consistent. I received lentil soup which I had not ordered, it looks watered down so I'm in no rush to try it. The sirloin burger was cold and not cooked consistently throughout. The fries were cold and covered in black pepper. Their dolma were overly wet and too mushy, I doubt they were fresh. The disappointing finale was their baklava which was drier than the Gobi desert and fell apart just looking at it. No flavor, no honey or lemon or spices and the nuts weren't chopped up fine enough either. Adding insult to injury the Door Dash Walla couldn't find my hotel or speak English??? I'm sad.

Maybe the only place to get Lebanese food - simple & authentic. Also an experience to enjoy 0 definitely off the grid.

Best middle eastern food in the area! The falafels are delicious, baba ganoush is smoky and terrific. Generous portions and reasonable prices with friendly service

Gyro plate was amazing. Friendly service. Fair prices. The place is a little hard to find - but I've been searching for a good gyro for some time now so I'm glad I found it. I ate there yesterday and am tempted to go back today.

CASH ONLY !!! Only one of us had a debit card and luckily the diner had an atm inside that my friend could extract some funds. Gyro and pomegranate chicken shawarma was delicious must buy! I suggest getting the combo plates so you can try different proteins and it also comes with salty lentil soup. I had to dip pita bread in it to soak up the salt. Pita bread is free but you need to ask for it. The inside looked like a quaint little diner spot with about 12-15 swivel chairs at a high top bar at first come first serve basis. It is a family owned small time business and I love supporting these guys that I found on Yelp! The staff were very friendly and readily able to give suggestions on what to order. Will be back WITH CASH!!

Everything was awesome I've been dining at Wally's since it opened his doors, nextdoor to the Bank Club. Which is wonderful also.

Wow! This place is truly a gem! hidden down an alley behind a dive bar. Employees were super friendly and helpful! Excellent service!. We ordered the pomegranate chicken. Very healthy portion over rice and salad. It was FANTASTIC! This is one I will be craving all the time now. LOL. Also loved the lentil soup baklava, and the hummus was some of the best I have ever had! Absolutely loved this spot! I will be coming back often!

A hidden gem! We had been ordering delivery from Wally's for years but finally decided to visit in person. I'm very happy that we did. As good as the food is delivered, it is even better right out of the kitchen. The gyro is delicious, the kabobs are really juicy, everything we have had has been well executed and delicious. I'd like to give a special callout to the staff. They went out of their way to make sure everything was great. While I can't say this is the nicest ambiance in a restaurant that I've ever been to, give it a chance and you will be impressed!

This place is a little hidden gem. It's in the back of an alley of an old bank. Staff that work there are super nice. It's kind of an old diner with a counter and some outdoor seating. Portions are huge. Two people could share one of the combo plates for sure. The plates came with a delicious lentil soup. You get tons of pita with the meal. Falafel was crunchy and tasty. Lamb kebabs were tender, spicy, and juicy. Hummus was excellent. Overall great food in a casual low key atmosphere.

Perfect crisp and light falafel, mind blowing lentil soup (I got to taste it while waiting for my order) superb. Get a big one to go, reheats perfectly. Don't let the little crack of an entrance fool you... the interior is ancient/old school lunch counter/diner (likely original) but spotlessly clean. Fresh ingredients stacked everywhere because the turn so much food. Top 3 best Mediterranean (especially falafel), worth seeking out without a doubt. Very very nice people too
