Desert Inn, Canton

I went for lunch today and decided to try the Syrian Platter which consisted of hummos, tabouli, and baba ganoosh. It seems that other than the standard gyro sandwich and the kebobs, there is not much else on the menu that would identify it as Syrian. Honestly, I was expecting more. All of the products brought out to me tasted bland, although I don't know that more seasoning would've necessarily saved the dishes. They were decent offerings, and although the portion size was fairly large, it doesn't matter if the product is so-so. One thing in particular that I was disappointed about was the pita bread. It had the same slightly stale quality that I can get in any supermarket. At least grilling (or warming in general) the pita first would've given it some character. If they aren't going to make their own on the premises, then they need to find a local baker to do it for them. The baklava, however, was quite good.

I'm Lebanese and have been to middle eastern rest. all over Ohio. This is by far the best. I thought my Sito (grandmother) was cooking in the kitchen.

I love this restaurant! The foods is great and the belly dancing was very impressive. Wish I had moves like that!

Absoloutley wonderful atmosphere. The food taste great, it was beautifully decorated, even the bathroom was beautiful. They had pictures of Famous people that have been there hanging on the walls, which hey lets admit it it is kind of cool to see that them people have been where you have eaten..They have a piano player that plays while you eat,, and sometimes i think a flute player. also a belly dancer, so even great entertainment. The one thing i do feel they could definately improve is their menu, there are not many selections at all, and when you make reservations in advance to go to a restraunt that nice i think they should have a bigger and better selection of entrees then they had...But it was a great place
