What a wonderful unexpected find! Adorable small cafe in a plaza. Decor is pirate themed, clean, pleasant! Super authentic Mediterranean food with homemade from scratch mom vibe. Menu so many selections. Vegan options available. Must try.

I was passing through and thought to give this place a try. I ordered borscht soup and dessert. The lady owner and cook was very friendly and kind and explained the soup was authentic from her country of Georgia. One taste of the soup and I could tell this was the real deal. The taste was amazing and filling. The cake was also another great hit and it ended the meal nicely. The waitress was also wonderful and kind. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would have. Everything experienced here food, service, and atmosphere was exceptional.

Small lil place, but.. oh, that hummus!! Best I’ve had very fresh & tasty. Had gyro as well, it was good, nothin beats that hummus tho! If you’re in the area, I’d stop just for the hummus. Honey cake is moist, fresh & def homemade.. grab one of those too

Amazing homemade hummus....had the gyro which was delicious. A bit over the top with decor, but don't let that deter you from trying this gem!

Charming pirate themed restaurant with excellent food and hospitality. The food is prepared with care- looked and tasted fantastic. Very flavorful hummus and desserts as well. Fun, welcoming, they even have pirate hats you can use for group pictures! Great for families, will definitely return next time we pass through.

Incredible experience!! Cozy and unique atmosphere, very welcoming service, and the food was delicious. Lentil soup with paprika and parsley was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. Lamb&beef mixed kafta kebab was super savory and came with a lovely rice that had sweet onions and carrots in it. Salad dressing tasted like a homemade tahini with herbs. Mushroom kebab was super juicy and tasted like it was cooked with a white wine. The potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and velvety soft on the inside. Everything was made with so much love ! Thank you to Nika and to the cooks for this very special experience <3

I usually don’t give 5 stars because nothing in this world is perfect, but this place and the staff deserve this! The atmosphere and coziness of the restaurant was so inviting it felt like a family where all are welcome and the main requirement is to enjoy the food and your time. Sadly, I didn’t get the servers name but did have a conversation with her and found out she’s from Georgia 🇬🇪 (the country) and has roots and family in Poland 🇵🇱. As for the food, it was fresh made so it took a little longer to come out, but it was well worth it. Everything was delicious, nice and hot, and so filling it made my soul happy. This place is a hidden gem in decor, friendliness, food, and warmth. More American restaurants need to take note. If you’re in Gainesville or passing through, make time to stop by and get some of the best food you can have in the area. Highly recommended!!!

We were in town from Jacksonville for a soccer tournament and always like to try mideastern and mediterranean cuisine in different cities. This place was hands down the best chicken shish kebab and rice I have eaten. The food was fresh and so full of flavor that I would be willing to drive 1.5 hours to eat it again! The restaurant is small and full of lively art and collectibles which makes it feel quirky ans full of character. It is extremely clean ans our server was attentive and very helpful. Highly recommend!!!!

This place is small, food is fresh, authentic, and so yummy! We didnt take photos of everything but everything was good. The decor is very entertaining. Please go support them. It makes me so happy to have access to such a beautiful offering. If the small dining room isnt your style order take out. And please leave a good tip they are under priced!!

This was our first time at Pirate's Grill and will definitely return! We had the chicken shawarma and beef shawarma with honey cake for dessert. We also tried their black currant tea. All of it was delicious! The restaurant is very small with 4 tables but I never saw anyone wait to be seated. The room is also very visually appealing with lots of interesting items on display. The staff were also very friendly and helpful throughout our meal.
