Review Sinbad's Restaurant - Tucson

I have been to this restaurant two time and the foods ,kebabs are delicious as always and the staff is very friendly and attentive to every detail.

This restaurant is tucked at the end on the courtyard that is in the center of Main Gate Square. It does seem that it gets overlooked since it is alone in this area especially at night. I was feeling like a light dinner so decided to get takeout. Went in to order and the older woman at the counter was a little gruff. Took about 10-15 minutes to get the food shrug there was only one couple eating outdoors and no one in the restaurant. Did notice the hookah lounge on the other side of the restaurant that was also empty. The food though was very tasty so despite any initial impressions glad that I stopped in.

Very friendly atmosphere, owner has been in the restaurant and tourism business for a while so has lots of stories and is very personable. Students get 15% off, and he ended our meal with free Turkish apple tea to try! You HAVE to get the ottoman sherbet, tastes like christmas. Food was very satisfying and healthy.

I loved showing off Sinbad's to friends and family when they would visit -- the food and decor are wonderful, and the previous and current owner are very sweet and hospitable people. However, due to a recent experience with a waiter who has helped me several times before with no issue, I cannot recommend young women to come unless this waiter is reprimanded. I brought my partner to the restaurant after we got tattooed down the street; we were served by the waiter who is usually very sweet and helpful. I told him about our tattoos and asked him if he had any. He responded verbatim saying "Yes, I have some on my private parts, want to see?" And naturally we had to laugh it off, but it was shocking and completely inappropriate. I cannot feel comfortable returning until this waiter is at least spoken to about this. Other than that the service is stellar.

Friendly and excellent service. The food was amazing and the environment felt welcoming and homey. Very relaxed and easy going and just a great overall experience. Definitely making this a go-to for Mediterranean food from now on!

I've read the other reviews, especially the "1 star" reviews, and this was truly some fantastic, delicious Mediterranean food! If you've never traveled to this part of the world, this food will only make you wish you could go there. Very humble, quaint establishment. Incredibly friendly, attentive staff. Very tasty, authentic food. Very relaxing, enjoyable atmosphere. The Lamb Shank over rice with an after-dinner-side of baklava and a Turkish coffee was my choice for the night - I was not disappointed. I haven't had this "authentic" since I was in Saudi Arabia. I will eat here again, someday, and I highly recommend you give it a try. التمتع(altamatue) "Enjoy"

The location is great, in a charming courtyard. The service was friendly and prompt. The star of the show was definitely the food. Both entrees were delicious, generous portions, and perfectly seasoned. We will definitely be back.

This was the first time I've been to this place, but I've seen it forever. This charming little restaurant is perfect for a delicious and different dinner or lunch with polite service and a welcoming feel. We ordered the chicken shawarma entree, beef arayes, and the chicken biryani. Each plate came out hot and fresh and smelled amazing. The shawarma was seasoned well and sat on top of a bed of rice with a side of hummus. This was the first time I tried areyas and I was not disappointed. They were full flavored and fresh. It came with hummus and a salad. I really enjoyed the chicken biryani. It had great spice to it, the chicken was so good and seemed to have been fried, it was perfect. Over all this place was wonderful and I look forward to visiting it again. It may be my new favorite Mediterranean food place I tucson, I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow what service I mean if you want to be transformed overseas this is the place to go. I've been around the world and seeing a few places in a while The food was so fresh and it was made to order and the service was better than anywhere I've ever gotten. I mean talk about Turkish hospitality! This place is a gem and well worth the 3 hr drive! 10/10 chiefs kiss!

Food was phenomenal!!! Meat was cooked perfectly. Super chill spot and staff was so kind and helpful. Absolutely come by and get their food!
Mike Remby
The best Mediterranean food ever for me. The only shame is I don't live in town to eat here more. The lamb is excellent and so is the beef. The baclava is made there and is the best. They make their own pita bread and it isn't better anywhere else. The lady who owns this place is an absolute sweetheart. This is homemade Mediterranean food with an Iraqi zest on it. Eat here.
Elden Elie
I absolutely love this place.. I’ve been coming here for years 🖤 everyone is friendly, they know me, food is the best in my opinion or at least the best Mediterranean restaurant in Tucson hands down. If your looking for something you haven’t tried before definitely give this place a shot! And the fact you can eat and smoke hookah at the same time is perfect for me since I smoke so much but regardless try this restaurant!!! I’ll come just to hang out sometimes while I charge my phone and eat frys 🐼

Fantastic food and friendly, helpful staff!! The mango lassee and Turkish coffee went great with our meal! Solid assortment of hookah flavors and house mixes!
Daniel Hillel-Tuch
Wonderful authentic Turkish restaurant. Truly hospitable and serving some of the most delicious sis kebab I’ve ever had. Make sure you eat here.

Our experience was great! The servers are so sweet and accommodating! :) The food was delish! We have been to the East so we know what the cuisine taste like and this place is amazing.

This was by far the best mediterranea food I have ever eaten! Just make sure if you are vegan or a vegetarian that they don't make your dish with the rice that they cook meat in. My friend is a vegetarian and what she ordered was in the proper portion of the menu and the rice had meat in it and was cooked with the meat broth. Aside from that it was perfect, delicious and amazing! I would eat there again if I am back in Tucson!...

Tried three dishes. First - magadoo. It looked very strange (like chittlins). Tasted okay, certainly better than it looked. Because ingredients included hot pepper (l believe), it didn't meet my expectations because l was expecting heat. The heat wasn't there. Second - yellow lentil soup. Was okay - fine, but nothing special. Third dish, the entree, was very good - a chili-like dish of fava and garbanzo beans, and onions. I really enjoyed it. Flavors were distinct yet combined very well.

If I could rate this restaurant lower than 1 star I would. I had a terrible experience with them. They left a flyer with us at the gem show and so we decided to get delivery from them. The driver went to the wrong hotel and had our number but never called us. Finally we called the restaurant to inquire about our order and got the drivers cell phone number so we could contact her. We expressed that we would like to be compensated for the food. At this point it was 2 hours late. We called the driver and gave her very explicit directions and she still couldn't find us. When I met the driver at the pool of the hotel I told her I would like to take the food because we were starving but that we were not paying for it. She ripped the bag of food out of my hands and said that she would not give it to me even though the food was now way beyond cold. We called the restaurant back and complained about this horrible experience and all they said was if the driver doesn't get paid for the food she has to pay for it out of her own pocket. Where is the customer service here? This was THE WORST experience I have ever had with a restaurant. The delivery driver was rude, obstinate, uncompromising and I believe she even cursed at me in her own language. Totally unprofessional. I DO NOT reccommend this restaurant. There should have been an appology and our food should have been paid for. I would have eaten it cold. In the future, Sinbad's Restaurant treat your customers better.

Wonderfully Delicious.. The food and service here are top-notch and wonderful. Featuring a menu full of classic dishes prepared with unique style and super-fresh ingredients, every meal I've had here has been memorable.

Everyone should come and get a taste of the finest meddle eastern food. Sinbad's restaurant has an Arabic and Greek food. Also, everyday specials and now we have open buffet for the whole month (Ramadan). Come and enjoy your meal today. Open buffet is only $10 a person you can grab as much food you can with desserts. You can write a review on here and we will give you a 25% off any restaurant here by the UofA or any other restaurants. Thank you for taking the time and we hope to see you here. We love serving you!

The service is friendly and the food is amazing! My husband tried to convince me this morning to drive the hour back to Tucson today for more food! The spices were perfect! Highly recommend!!

I love Sinbad's! We have made it our place to have dinner every time we see a show at Centennial Hall. The food is wonderful and the service was fantastic. Our server was polite and friendly. She made sure our dining experience was one to remember. The food was delicious! There were four of us and we all tried something different and had fun sharing and trying something new. We ordered the Arabic wine, two of us had the red and two had the white which we enjoyed, and then we started off with Imported Feta, Hummus, and the Babaganouge which was out of this world!Then we ordered more wine! We had Chicken shawerma, one of the pastas, that was delish, Gyro salad and Shish-Tawaq. The food was presented well and served with a smile. Sinbad's is conveniently located near tyndall parking garage and Centennial Hall, tucked in the back of a lovely little courtyard with a fountain. In the evening the trees are twinkling with the U of A colors making the atmosphere almost magical. Sinbad's will continue to be our stop on the way to the show. Love, Love ,Love this place!!!

Zack Ghaithi
Most wonderful food that I ever had !!! The food reminds me of back home. I highly recommend Sinbads.
Beth Robertson
Excellent food and service for our large group. Kofta kabobs were enough for 2 people alone. Babaganoush silky smooth. Good value in a nice setting.

Beautiful place. Excellent service

I used to work at a small Mediterranean restaurant, but it closed and I miss the food so much! I've tried several different places and nowhere has compared until now. This place is awesome! Amazing food and decent prices. I will be dining here again.
