Food was very authentic and delicious. Service was quick and the ambiance is just beautiful. I was raised in the Middle East and particularly miss a good tahina...this was just what I needed. They had no dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) the day I went so I need to return. The rose tea was so good. Do not waste time thinking about it...GO!
Small but cozy restaurant with incredible food. May be some of my favorite food in Asheville. Food always comes out fast and hot. So many allergy and dietary restriction options. I have yet to have some bad here. Every single dish, side, or dessert is incredibly delicious! Service is always friendly and inviting. There are many options for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and even meat eaters. There's desserts and items for sale as well. It truly adds to the experience of visiting.
GQC has to be my favorite restaurant in Asheville. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience!
We've had both the chicken and beet shawarma wraps along with Lebanese fries from their food truck and the food was good (especially for a food truck at a busy event), so we decided to try their restaurant in West Asheville this time. Not a lot of ambiance in terms of decor, but it was plenty busy on a Saturday at lunch. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Since it was a warm, sunny spring day, we sat outside on their front patio. Service was friendly and efficient. The food came pretty quickly. We ordered their famous Lebanese poutine, which is a pile of their fries topped with lamb hashweh with pine nuts, feta cheese and a tangy sauce. Very tasty. Serving size was large enough for leftovers. We also had their signature Gypsy rice bowl with chicken shawarma as the protein. Also very tasty. It was nicely seasoned saffron rice as the base with grilled peppers and onions, the chicken shawarma and a yoghurt sauce on top. The dish could have been a little hotter when it arrived, but the flavor combination was very good and the portion size perfect for lunch. We were full enough we didn't try their baklava, but it looked very good and they were selling lots of it. Reasonable prices. Plenty good, but not quite great. Nice to have this as a go-to place for middle eastern/Lebanese food.
Cuisine is delicious! I will say some wraps don't hold up so well for to go, but even so the flavor is amazing!
The food was amazing! I lived in the Middle East for over 2 years and this little restaurant served up some of the best Lebanese I have ever eaten! We had the Gypsy sampler and a side of Kafta, the flavors were awesome!
Girl, this is my new favorite spot in AVL. This restaurant is counter service, and there is indoor and outdoor seating to choose from. The vibe is very cute and calm. There are a bunch of snacks and pantry staples available for purchase. The woman who took my order was extremely kind and had a very pleasant aura. Now to the review! I was surprised to see so many folks here around lunch time on a Tuesday. There are SO many vegan options that it's almost overwhelming. Everything vegan is clearly labeled and I love that, I felt extremely safe eating here. I went with the hummus (10/10) and the not-lamb shawarma which I believe had seitan in it. Wow, 10000/10. The most delicious shawarma ever, and it was the size of a small baby. I'm so glad this place exists. I want to try the grape leaves and vegan baklava next! I will definitely be a regular here. Thanks for providing so many vegan options, love you!!!
So I thought this was very authentic Arab food. I was very impressed. While an appetizer was missing and the lamb soup was bleh, the rest was really good. Lamb shawarma was great! Cauliflower was amazing ! They took an hour for the food to come out which was extremely disappointing and just too long of a wait. I don't know if I would dine in due to the long wait times on a random Monday night. But maybe I'd deliver or order ahead
