“ Nice hardworking couple, really friendly, big portions and good food. We spent around 40ish for people and we were full and there was still food left which we took home. So totally worth it. ”

“ 10 out of 5 stars Cleopatra Cafe in Penticton, on Power Street, across from the convention centre. Legit, true, authentic Turkish/Middle Eastern fare. Fast, fresh and furious. Sure...I love all food, even mediocre dishes...but Owlbear Foxbeard is a retired red seal chef, and needless to say, hard to impress. Aside from 2 other places in town, he has stated he will not eat anywhere else but here. This place is a hidden gem in our little town of Penticton, and by far one of the MOST genuine, flavourful places l have been to in my life. (And believe me, we've travelled and eaten our way through many countries across the globe). Even our own Vancouver venues haven't matched the caliber of this restaurant, so far. The personal, intimate service is just one of the perks to rave about, but that's only a bonus aside from the insanely incredible food. You cant expect much less from a family run joint. Being a kitchen brat my entire life since age 5 (playing and working in commercial kitchens since kindergarten while my parents worked 8 days a week, 25 hours a day), I understand the struggle of blue collar people trying to make a living by doing something they love, and are good at! And it's not easy if you didn't luck out by buying into some franchise. So...we need to spread the word and push people to these little gems. Because marketing and conventional advertising is f@k!ng expensive for these little businesses!!!!!!!!!!! Whether you're vegetarian or a meat eater, they have lamb, falafel, chicken, etc.... The hummus is like nothing you've tried before, and their olives???????? WHAT. I don't know where they get them from, or if they marinate them in house with some magical spicy black licorice flavoured concoction, but I'll tell you right now, you will NOT taste olives like these anywhere in this province. I could go on, but no need, especially as I'm not qualified food critic. I just like to eat tasty stuff, and I know what sucks and what doesn't. Just try it out, patio or takeout. You will NOT regret it. ”

“ AMAZING! Such a warm and welcoming place to fill your belly with delicious, flavourful home cooked food. My new favourite place to eat! EDIT: I want to edit my review to say I’ve been bringing lots of friends here to eat and they all love it too. Cleo’s is still the best place in the valley to eat! ”

“ Since moving to the Okanagan, I can confidently say this is the best food I’ve had. The dishes are top-tier, bursting with authentic flavors that transport you straight to the heart of the Mediterranean. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, making the dining experience even more special. If you’re looking for a fantastic place to eat in the Summerland/Penticton area, this is it! 100% recommend. ”

“ I've traveled a lot and went to many restaurants but few can match this place. The portions were great and the taste was phenomenal. The dine in is a bit small (seats about 15) but very cozy. They went all out with the decoration. I ordered a mix chicken and lamb wrap as well as a lentil soup for lunch and both tasted great but the lentil soup is a bit spicy so be prepared for that if you order it. ”

“ My wife and I had the chicken shawarma platter with a pepperoni pizza tonight and it was absolutely delicious, we enjoyed every bite. The owner is kind and friendly. Can't wait to eat here again! ”

“ VERY VERY GOOD! unique food and so delicious we couldn’t stop eating. The owner was so nice, he brought us extra bread and water, he sat with us and talked about his adventures. His place is is full of art on the walls even the bathroom. I will definitely come back next time I’m in Penticton. ”

“ My wife and I walked into Cleopatra Cafe this afternoon and we were blown away. Not only the food being amazing, but the welcoming, the generosity and the coziness. There is something truly special about this place and the person that owns it. If you’re in Summerland, you have to check this place out. ”
