Roxana's - Merrillville

Half of me is overwhelmed with joy from discovering this restaurant, while the other half is completely disappointed that we've been missing out on such fantastic food for so long! We ordered takeout this evening and tried a variety of kabob combinations, including beef tenderloin, lemon chicken, and adobo chicken. Every bite was bursting with fresh, satisfying flavors. I can't wait to order from here again and again!

I had a wonderful experience at this hidden gem! The hospitality was outstanding, and the food was fantastic. The green tea with cardamom struck the perfect balance of flavor and strength, and the lentil soup was an unexpected delight. As someone from NYC, I have high expectations, and this place really delivered! The ambiance was nice and calm, though I think some soft Mediterranean music in the background could enhance the atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant!

We visited on a weekday for breakfast, and everything was fresh. She even made us fresh coffee, which was absolutely delicious! We tried the homemade green and red hot sauces made by the cook, who happens to be the owner’s aunt, and they were incredible! We were the only customers, so we had the chance to chat with the cook, who was very friendly. I can't wait to return and try their kebabs, especially with that sauce!

Loved it, loved it, loved it!!! My palate simply danced with the New flavors I've never experienced. Saved me on plane ticket, hotel, and never stepping foot out of the country. Best Mediterranean food around. Loved the Afghan Custard dessert as well.

When we arrived, the place was empty, which made me a bit anxious. However, the food was outstanding. The savory turnovers—three filled with leeks and three with potatoes—were truly unique, and I absolutely loved the spiciness of the garlic yogurt sauce. The steamed lamb was incredible, melting in my mouth and bursting with warm flavors. I also really enjoyed the brown rice mixed with carrots and raisins; it was lighter and more flavorful than most brown rice dishes. The gyro was good and tasted just like a typical gyro. The fries were clearly made from fresh potatoes, fried to perfection with a nice crunch on the outside and tender on the inside.
