After 8 years of eating there... I'm finished

by Durhamite3

The owner's attitude was, at first, amusing fodder for fun names like "L-Ebenezer Scrooge." However, I'm sick of being treated like I'm imposing on him by ordering his (about $3 over-priced) food. The man needs to stay home or at least at the back table where his hateful glare doesn't accompany money transactions. If there was other Mediterranean food in the area I would have stopped going sooner.

Above Average food. Abysmal Service.

  • Pros: Food
  • Cons: Owner

Great food from East Africa

by Makula

This is a nice place with good food. I was served beef, spinach and rice. The beef was very tender. The samosas were great also.

  • Pros: Good food that is a good representation of East African food.
  • Cons: It could be missed if you are driving past it.

"The Best" fantastic shwarma

by hdevil

The menu may not be as large as fancier places, but what International Delights does, they do really well. The shwarma is filling, the vegitarian falafel isn't greasy at all, and the "american" alternatives are good--I'm told, I always stick to the middle eastern delights. Not many people stick around to eat in house, but when you have time, enjoy the traditional middle eastern tea with your meal. They'll bring it out to you still in the teapot, with fresh herbs simmering in it. The place has been family run for a long time. Watching the kids grow up has been an added treat.

Indulge in Bakliva or get some tobacco for your houka. Tastey!

  • Pros: authentic middle eastern

"SIMPLY THE BEST"

by ZMAN

International Delights Restaurant is the place my family and I have been eating at for the past 9 years! Everything there is homemade and is made fresh daily! They have the best falafel, hommos, tabouleh, gyros, kabob, shawermah. There subs are just unbelievable, they have philly steak/chinken, turkey & veggie subs! Wonderful hookahs to smoke afterwards and turkish coffee and lebanese deserts and hot tea! I encourage everyone to go and try the wonderful foods and deserts that International Delights has to offer with subs, salads, middle eastern foods and desserts.
