Owner is extremely rude and if you leave a low tip he becomes abusive and does not want you in his restaurant.

A little family-owned restaurant with incredibly yummy food. Everything is good. Try the shwarma or the falafel - so light and crisp. The hummus is addicting. Even the salad is yummy! The desserts are heavenly. The portions are plentiful and the prices are reasonable. This has become one of our favorite restaurants even though it's a bit of a drive for us. More...

It’s a small place in Ballwin. The outside sign was not on! Best Shawarma since NYC!

Upon arriving and approaching the register I'm greeted by Sam (the owner). He welcomes me to his restaurant, I place my order and I'm already excited as his customer service is incredible. He informs me how long it'll take for my food to be done and I get even more excited as that meant food wasn't just waiting to be served. I took one bite and knew I was in for a great meal. Phoenicia's is absolutely delicious. I do a lot of traveling and by far some of the best Mediterranean food I've had in the states. Everything was seasoned so well. You know food is good when after you eat you can still taste it in your mouth and your stomach is satisfied and you can't stop talking about it. My wife thought the same thing. She said, "honey this is REALLY GOOD."You will not be disappointed in your decision to eat (or order) from here. We ordered the meat lovers combo 1. The food is well worth the price and Sam will be getting more of my money. I'm so excited to eat my leftovers tomorrow. Great service and incredible food that takes you to a happy place filled with great flavors and memories. Well done Sam. More...

I can't believe this has been near my house for over a year, and I just found it. Great food, great service & reasonable prices. Been there twice in a week ... Excited to try other items but difficult for me to get past dolmades and gyros. Enjoy the additional Mediterranean foods and influences beyond the standard Greek cuisine I am accustomed to ordering (although no disrespect there either!) More...

Wow, what a little treasure. It's hard to get good and proper Mediterranean/Lebanese food in west county but this place delivers. Succulent shawarmas, ridiculously fresh salads, home made Katafah and Baklava makes this my go to for falafels, shishkebibs, gyros and everything else from the Mediterranean area. Add a friendly owner that cooks to order eaand you have an easy 5 stars. ** update **Have been coming here for awhile now and it's always great. More...

Today we came here for the first time to pick up lunch. The owner met us with a huge smile. He was very nice, very friendly. Most of our food was already ready. The owner entertained us for a few minutes with a lively chat. He told us about Lebanese food and some culture which was very interesting. We picked up our food. He comped is some items which was so so nice! Our first order was the falafel was to die for for. Another order the chicken tawook sandwich was amazing! The third order the manakish was delicious! We will be back! More...

Phoenica Mediterranean Restaurant is a small family-run restaurant in Ballwin that delivers quality, authentic Mediterranean dishes. The owner is extremely friendly and accommodating. Even though he is so busy, he tries his very best to cater to all his customers' needs. At our first visit, we tried the veggie combo ($11.5) that has hummus, eggplant,  grape leave wrap and toubuli. We also tried the chicken kabob lunch combo ($7.99). Both are generously portioned and delicious -- though we lean towards the veggie combo.What a lovely place! We will be certainly to be back.

So I live about an hour away from this restaurant and whenever I know I'm going to be remotely in this area I always schedule a visit to come here. The food is great and the owner Sam couldn't be nicer. My only real problem is I'm a creature of habit and I like to order the same thing over and over but everytime I venture out and try something new I find something else I love. So now there are several dishes that I love and I've only tried half the menu. So my new habit is to order something that I had before to eat there. Then I place an order for what I will be eating that evening to take home with me. I also order food that I can reheat the next day. So now every time I go to Phoenicia I really get three meals at a time minimum. There really should be a line out the door for this place because I don't know how people want to eat up all the corporate establishments you find all of the place. Not only is this food unique and really flavorful it taste like real home cooking. More...
