Cafe Shekel

PLEASE READ. First and foremost, I saw the recent reviews and did not want to come here. It was a very late night with limited options, we found another place on Google maps called “Saetailanos” the reviews were decent and food looked great. We arrived to find out that this location is operating under two separate restaurant names serving the same things. I was a little thrown off by this and was hesitant to order anything but like I said limited open options to pick from. My in-laws ordered food and I went to wash my hands…the bathrooms were horrid, run down, cobb webs, outright dirty very clear they have not been cleaned in ages (no exaggeration), and no soap in one bathroom. At this point I was not even hungry anymore and could have done without but my spouse and in-laws were starving and we had been traveling all night. BUT let me tell you, when that pizza came out…..BOY did it smell so damn good & the flavors were fireeeee Y’all put some love on the pizza! Almost had me forget where I was at and how grossed out I felt beforehand. Only reason I marked down on the food is because shortly after eating I saw one of the chefs come out with the same gloves he was cooking in and answer the phones, deal with the register, touch his nose (he sounded and seemed sick with a runny nose), and went right back into the kitchen did not wash his hands or change the gloves…..& went right back to questioning how this place is even opened and not shut down by public health. That pizza is the only reason I’m giving a 3 star and the woman who took our order was very nice. This place has potential if the pizzas are that good I can’t vouch for any other items on the menu. The owners, managers, & chefs need some refreshers on cleanliness though.

The veggie calzone and house salad was delicious and plentiful enough for me to have a second serving for lunch the next day. My other half had the lasagna plate and it was good too. I have definitely put this place in rotation

I was craving a late night snack, and as this was one of the few places still delivering, I thought I'd give this place a try. With great regret, this late night snack turned into a food debacle. This food definitely didn't satisfy my late night craving, and I regret the moment I decided to order from this place . I ordered a lamb gyro sandwich and lamb gyro plate. Both were equally distasteful as salty. The food itself looked quite amateurish and no thought process went into making this meal. The rice from the platter tasted of cinnamon and was crunchy! It was so off putting, I couldn't even eat it. On top of that, my stomach was upset, and let's just say the bathroom became my best friend awhile after. Needless to say, I won't order from here again.

Late night bite

Decent food... but I have 1 BIG issue. They carry shrimp...but refuse to make me a grilled shrimp salad...or a grilled shrimp pita.

Very bad ambience

Be aware when you pay with airlines's vouchers here.

Customer service and empathy are horrible from the leadership of this place. I ordered food had been waiting for 30-40 minutes not knowing they had canceled my order, because they said they don’t deliver to apartments. Had this been on the website I would have never ordered and wasted my time or money. Now I have to wait 48 hours for my money to be refunded from a third party. The manager did not care and did not try to rectify or compensate me in any way, didn’t even offer for me to come in and pick the food up. Customer service is everything and if you don’t treat customers like they’re actually people with feelings then you won’t last long. If you thinking about eating here, DONT! Find you somewhere where they actually treat you like people!
