This 25th street diner is a Cleveland institution! If you like middle Eastern food and haven't been to Nate's, what are you waiting for? The food is delicious. And the warm pita bread comes right down the road from Aladdins where it's made! Nothing fancy, just good food.
All around very good middle eastern food. Come for lunch, there was barely any wait time to get served. The staff was friendly and gave recommendations to improve my overall meal.
We visit Nate's deli for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We were waited on quickly. Our waitress was very helpful and friendly, the food was delicious, and less expensive than most other delis. I would definitely recommend Nate's.
Best raw kibbe in all of Cleveland. The staff at Nate's makes you feel at home and always welcome. Jackie treats her guests like her own family! Hummus and fries are a must.
I loved going here when I worked downtown, and it has been a few years now. I stopped by and ordered some food to go and it is not the same. Shish Tawook sandwich had only chicken (was not tender or fresh). Ordered regular fattoush salad, and they gave me small size that looked like a side lettuce/veggie topping. The Falafel plate had only lettuce and tomato. I was looking forward to have an authentic lebanese meal, but this didn't live up to it. I like the place and the owners and that is why I gave them 4 stars.
Nate's is the Best!!
Go to dish is the raw Kibbe!! Delicious!! Hummus, Baba, Fattoush and some great service!!
Okay restaurant. Got the taouk plate and the chicken brochette was a bit dry. The rice was good. The salad and the sauce tasted a bit too sour for my taste. The portion is pretty generous. The price is okay. The waitress was nice and helpful.
I got to visit an old friend. I started eating at Nate's during grad school, and remember the food was delicious. 25+ years later it is still good. Had baba ghanoush, tabouli and a gyro, for lunch today, and it was as good as I remembered. PS my son liked his platter.
Been coming here for 25 years and it never fails to satisfy! To be honest, I've never ordered anything other than the delicious, homemade Lebanese food. Pro tip: Park in back and come in through the kitchen 😉

One of my absolute favorite places in town. They have the best beef shawarma I have ever had. I have tried it at least at 15 pretty places. The best. Strongly suggest getting the beef shawarma platter and a side of hummus with extra pita bread.... Not the beef shawarma on a bed of hummus because beer deal to get the way suggested before.
But seriously the beef shawarma is one of the greats. Can get it to go. Can get it for party too.
Other food served is good but I've ordered the beef shawarma every time the last thirty times I have been there. The hummus is right there with the shawarma.
