Food was excellent. You definitely can taste that everything is freshly made. We tried multiple dishes and everything was great. Very flavorful, authentic and portion sizes are more than sufficient. Service was amazing, every question was answered and they know their menu inside out so if you need a recommendation don’t be shy to ask. Atmosphere isn’t the best, but I’m sure over the time they will improve it as well.

THE BEST MEDITERRANEAN FOOD AND PITA IN KC! Literally the best pita bread I have ever had. The food is so delicious. You can TELL the food is fresh and masterfully cooked. The owners are so sweet and the service is impeccable. The recipes are authentic and delicious. 20/10 most definitely recommend!!

Great food and service. We went at non peak hours so it was just us in the building. The Shawarma wrap and the Gyro plate are both fantastic! The hummus was wonderful as well. It’s nice too that they make virgin lemonades and things. We had a mint lemonade that was super fresh and delightful.

My husband and I dropped in on a Tuesday night, and we found them through Google and hadn’t heard of them at all until then. It was the best Mediterranean food we have had in KC! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was chill and friendly. The lentil soup is the best I’ve had by far and the chicken and lamb was amazing! I think we found our new spot!

Tried Kari’s for the first time tonight after hearing great things. It’s an awesome spot to have on 39th! We got the chicken shawarma sandwich, gyro sandwich, and grape leaves. We loved it! The shawarma was our favorite.

Very, Very good Mediterranean food. I ordered several platters of food to go and some baba ghanoush. I meant to take photos of it when I got home but we ate it so quickly because it was so good. The spices were epic on the rice and meats and everything was made fresh and at time of order. Also worth mentioning, is that it was an easy to work around menu for gluten free folks even without a specific indicator of what was gf. Bonus, the host had a killer Cat Stevens and Van Morrison playlist boppin’.

We were lucky to find this place on their soft opening day and were quite impressed! Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were generous. I had the chicken shawarma plate with rice and baba ghanoush as the side. The baba ghanoush was just the right amount of smokey, the rice was flavorful, and the shawarma and sauce nicely done. My husband and friend had the shawarma sandwich with fries; the fries were seasoned with zaatar which was a nice touch. If they ask you if you want regular water or flavored water, get the lemon mint water. The infusion level was great, neither flavor being overbearing and it was refreshing. We will be back!
