This place is a perfect addition to our neighborhood! The food is real, fresh and not processed. The owner is so kind and friendly and his chef definitely knows what he is doing in the kitchen. My mom had the lamb kebab and I had the chicken adana kebab. To top it off the baklava is perfect.
Decided to try this place out for my lunch. Owner was incredibly friendly, and very welcoming. I ordered the Chicken Shish, and boy, it is one of the best chicken Ive ever had. Fresh, juicy and flavourful. Pistacho baklava is also a must.. Too bad I ate it first before taking a picture 😅.
I came here based on reviews I have read .. it is definitely the best Mediterranean food I have ever had .. the Antioch kebab was on point ..
This place is the real deal. I don’t usually talk about how good my food is while I’m eating it, but this time, I couldn’t help myself. My fiancé ordered the lamb and I had the chicken. Both were absolutely delicious. Even the baklava was incredible. If you’re thinking about going to somewhere like Pita Jungle, do yourself a favor and come here instead. Everything is cooked fresh, and you can tell the chef truly cares about quality and perfection in every dish. The only thing I’d love to see is a bit more interior decoration, but honestly, the food more than makes up for that. An amazing hidden gem that deserves way more recognition.
Decided to try this place for something different and was not disappointed. The food was delicious! We ordered Babagannush, lamb chops and chicken shish—all were amazing! The baklava with walnuts was the best I’ve ever had, just like the owner said it would be! Will definitely go there again! The owner is a great chef and very nice. Thank you for an excellent meal, Cecilia.
My first visit to Real Food Kitchen was an absolute treat. I placed an online order for lunch, and when I arrived, Moos, the owner, personally walked me through the menu and made me feel incredibly welcome. I ordered the chicken shish combo, and everything was outstanding. The flavors were fresh, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. After hearing more about the menu, I already know I’ll be back to try the lamb next time. And the pistachio baklava? Easily the best I’ve ever had, quite possibly the best in Arizona. You definitely won’t regret supporting this fantastic local restaurant.
Hands down the best Turkish / Mediterranean food you'll ever have! My mom and I ordered the Chicken Shish Combo, Beef Köfte Combo, Red Pepper Hummus and Pistachio Baklava and were completely blown away! This food is authentic, fresh, flavorful, and made with love. The owner, Moos was warm and welcoming and made our dining experience that much better! I highly recommend this place. It's a new favorite of mine 😊
Don’t sleep on this place! The food is absolutely incredible. When we walked in, we were the only customers, but the gentleman working was so welcoming and genuinely excited to help us. He gave us a few recommendations and confidently told us it would be the best chicken/food we’d ever had… and he wasn’t kidding. We ordered the chicken and the lamb chops, and both were unbelievably flavorful, juicy, and perfectly cooked. I’m so glad we tried both because I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite. But the real surprise for me was the baklava. I’ve always thought baklava was just “pretty good,” but this completely changed my mind. It was hands down the best baklava I’ve ever had. We can’t wait to go back and work our way through the menu. One thing’s for sure, I’ll definitely be ordering extra baklava next time!
Real Food Kitchen is a true hidden gem! The food is amazing. Best baklava. I also highly recommend the Hibiscus beverage. It is difficult to describe but it is a must try.... refreshing and unique. I LOVE it! 💛
So delicious and authentic. Everything was amazing. We all tried a piece of each other’s food and truly enjoyed it. The chicken had so much flavor and it was so juicy. I also recommend the lemonade with mint. Thank you so much.
