"Healthy serving of Lasagna that came with two breadsticks. Lasagna was just okay and would not order again. Too cheesy, not much flavor, too much sauce, and meat tasted funny to me. Also had been looking forward to trying the strawberry cake, which was my primary reason for trying this restaurant. Disappointed to find a Lemoncello Marscarpone Cheeesecake in its place due to the cake being out of stock."

Both Fettuccine Alfredo Alla Romano orders were very very dry. Both kids meal drinks were missing, and all the breadsticks were hard as a rock. I will never order from here again.

Wonderful linguine, great garlic butter sauce, generous sized shrimp all part of the Shrimp Scampi. Mikes bread is very cheesy and is a fabulous addition. Will definitely order again.

"We visited Istanbul Mediterranean Cuisine Bar, 2945 E. Speedway Blvd., Tucson AZ 85716 in March 2022. A host greeted us and sat us right away. Food: I had never been there before and I ordered the Doner Wrap that is 80% beef and 20% lamb. The wrap was huge and I could only eat half. It was served with tzatziki sauce, which was very good, but I did not end up putting it on the sandwich since the meat was so moist and flavorful. The sandwich came with a choice of two of sides of; rice, salad or fries. I got the fries and salad. The fries seemed like they were just cooked and the salad was fresh and vibrant with a vinaigrette dressing on it. I would recommend this sandwich plate. My husband ordered the spicy chicken pita that he like very much. He said the pita bread was delicious, soft and seemed freshly made. The chicken was tossed in a sauce and also came with a side of sauce that was quite spicy hot. We also ordered baclava and the chicken lemon soup to go and both were very good. Service: The service was very good and prompt. They served the food quickly. We were in and out within 45 minutes, which is what we like. We did not feel rushed at all. Funny, I asked my husband to request more napkins and the next thing I knew was the waiter brought a stack of napkins. I asked my husband if he had signaled to the waiter, but he said he did not. So apparently, they can read minds there! The layout of the restaurant is larger booths on the right side with tables down the middle and the bar, with stools on the left. There was a part at the back that had a sign “Only for large parties” with multiple tables. Not a big restaurant. The place was very clean and the noise level was low. Parking: There is a parking lot in front of the restaurant, but additional street parking that had plenty of spaces available. The atmosphere felt more adult focused with the bar and there was not any children. The cost was very reasonable I would highly recommend going and we will return."

"Ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen and Spicy Miso Ramen with dumpling. The pork was over seasoned and very salty. The broth was lacking in umami. As for the odd mixture of flavors in the Ramen. It was more sour than balanced. The eggs looked really dry for some reason."

"I really wanted to like this place, but it just wasn't for me. I'm still learning my way around Tucson, and I didn't realize it was Downtown and I would have to pay for parking. The parking took a lot of my time, and I was already racing a clock. I took my food to go, but ran out of time and had to eat my lunch later in the day. The salad didn't hold up well on those couple hours. I'm really not sure what the goopy topping was, but it was pretty gross and I ended up throwing the salad away after a few bites. I just couldn't eat it. I think that's probably the first meal I've had to throw away. I will usually eat my food even if I don't love it. I'll assume this is better when fresh, but I still don't think I'll go back.Vegetarian options: The entire menu is vegan."

Scented Leaf Tea House

"This is my absolute favorite place on University. The interior is beautiful, the atmosphere is cozy, service is great, and the teas are delicious. I love stopping by to just get a tea and go, but staying in to study is also one of the best things to do here. It's so easy to focus on my work with a nice cup of tea and forget about the world in this shop. I've made it a goal to try a new tea every day, but my personal favorites so far are the House Black and Raspberry Rose. Just don't get carried away and drink too much! This is probably the only place where I've liked the drinks so much that I made myself sick by having too many . The refill system is too good to resist. The first is paid (at a lower price than the original drink), and the second refill is free. So you can have three drinks for what I'm pretty sure would be just one at a different shop. I visited so many times at this point that I actually ended up buying a reusable cup for yet another discount. My only complaint is that the snack options aren't very good, but for their drink quality and the wonderful attitude the baristas have, it's not a big issue for me. If I'm staying, it's to study, and I've usually already eaten at one of the dozens of places nearby since it's in a really good area. If you're in the area or starting school, make sure to stop by here, you won't regret it."

"I’ve been to Tumerico many times and every visit it blows me away. The food is traditional and all whole food plant based. Their menu is a on a chalkboard but typically stays pretty similar. I usually get their ropa vieja plate without tortillas. This time I got the plate but only with the Cuban jackfruit so I removed the mushrooms and peppers. (The jackfruit here is truly the best I’ve ever had Whatever you get, you have to get it with “all powers”. It makes the meal. You won’t go wrong with anything on the menu here. Truly a gem and I wish we had one in Phoenix."
