Crave Cafe & Lounge, Tempe

i would rethink the fries on the platter

Nice job. Nice ambiance and a friendly staff.

with amazing mediterranean/greek food just a few doors down, I feel Crave should try harder. It was honestly the worst gyro meat I have ever had. It had the texture of a thin beef patty, and virtually tasted like something pre-packaged that had been heated up in an oven. Definitely not that authentic, carved off the spit flavor or texture. Not even sure if there was lamb in it. The texture and taste of the chicken with the hummus was wonderful - but honestly the overall quality was not enough of a standout for me to go back. There are so many wonderful mediterranean restaurants in the valley.

In the advertisment it stated Crave was a hooka bar and I didn't see anything like that. Also because it is a bar at night, it really stunk like old beer. That was the only problem With me going back there for a place to eat.
