Moving from California to Massachusetts was a big change, but finding Gyro and Kebab House made it all feel like home. This chill Turkish spot serves up some of the best food I’ve ever had, and I knew I hit the jackpot as soon as I walked in.

Families sitting around, tucking into their meals, and a décor that’s like a passport to Turkey, it just feels right. You order at the counter then snag a table, and before you know it, warm Turkish bread lands with a side of yogurt and hot sauce. Now let me tell you, this bread is next-level. Fresh, puffy, and it’s never been anything but perfect. Try it with the spicy dip, and you’re in for a treat.

When it comes to the main event, I’m a creature of habit. I go for the mixed grill plate, with an extra kick of jalapenos. The gyro is a taste knockout, and the beef and lamb kebabs are seasoned so well you’d think they had a PhD in flavor. Then there’s the chicken kebab – tender, juicy, and full of seasoning. The rice is a tasty sidekick, and everything on that plate tastes like it’s made with a little extra love.

What keeps me coming back, though, isn’t just the food. The folks here treat you like family. The service is speedy, the food is always fresh and hot, and I’ve never left feeling anything but satisfied. The consistency of both the flavor and service here is something special.

So, if you’re in Massachusetts and looking for a place that’ll hit the spot every time, you’ve got to try Gyro and Kebab House. I can’t wait for my next visit. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

I've had the pleasure of dining at Byblos several times now, and each visit has been an absolute delight. From the romantic ambiance to the delectable food, this Middle Eastern (Lebanese) eatery consistently delivers on all fronts.

Byblos has a spacious interior that is perfect for an intimate dinner or a lively gathering. On weekends, the restaurant comes alive with live music and belly dancers, providing an entertaining and captivating atmosphere. Despite the bustling environment, the service remains swift and attentive.

During my most recent visit, my fiancé and I decided to order the Chicken Hashweh once again. The dish was nothing short of divine. For those new to Middle Eastern (Lebanese) cuisine, Chicken Hashweh serves as an excellent introduction. But as someone who has grown up savoring these flavors, I can assure you that Byblos' rendition is truly top-notch. The nuts sprinkled on top were roasted to perfection, adding a delightful crunch to the dish.

A standout at Byblos is their homemade hot sauce, which is simply stunning. If only I could get my hands on the recipe to recreate its magic at home! To accompany our main course, we enjoyed a Tabouli salad, which was evidently crafted with love and expertise.

I must extend my compliments to the chef and the entire Byblos team. They have a true knack for putting together beautiful and satisfying plates that never fail to leave a lasting impression. Each visit to Byblos leaves me with a smile on my face, and I am certain that my fiancé and I will be returning time and time again. If you're in the mood for an unforgettable Middle Eastern (Lebanese) dining experience, Byblos is the place to be.

So, I recently visited Spitfire Tacos in Salem again, and let me tell you, this place never fails to impress me! I used to go there pretty often, and even after a few months, the quality and taste remain as incredible as always.

This time, they brought back the Wagu, pineapple, and pickled onion taco (Limited time only) on the menu. I couldn't resist and ordered it alongside my all-time favorites, the Vampiro and Chili Shrimp tacos. My fiancé decided to try the Vampiro and Fish tacos.

One thing I absolutely love about Spitfire Tacos is their fast service. Although the tacos are made to order (just the way God intended), you won't have to wait too long for your order to be ready. They've got it down to just a few minutes, which is perfect for those of us who are always on the go or simply can't wait to dive into some delicious tacos.

Having lived in California for nine years, I've tried my fair share of Mexican tacos, and Spitfire Tacos definitely stands out. They manage to add their own twist to the classic taco without ruining the experience. The flavors in their tacos work incredibly well together, and it's obvious that the chef and menu preparer know what they're doing.

Oh, and their Fresno sauce? Amazing! It really adds that extra kick to the tacos. The portion sizes are spot-on, too – not too big, not too small, just the right amount to satisfy my hunger. And those tortillas... cooked to perfection every single time!

For those who prefer to sit and enjoy their tacos, there's some seating available inside, which is always a nice option.

I've got to say, I'm really impressed with Spitfire Tacos. If you're ever craving some fantastic tacos with fresh ingredients and speedy service, this is the place to go. Seriously, give it a try – you won't be disappointed!
