My mom and I stopped here for an early dinner during a day trip to Jacksonville. It is nothing fancy - the decor is simple, the food is served fast-food style (not formal sit-down), and the menu is basic Mediterranean fare. But the food tastes SO good. Everything is super fresh and loaded with flavor. The tomatoes taste like they... More

I discovered Hovan Rolls in Atlanta at Lenox Mall back in the late 80's-early 90's. I have been a fan ever since. However, they don't have any restaurants close to me so when I saw that Jacksonville has a Hovan Mediterranean restaurant I was so excited. This one will not disappoint.

Great place for gyros and humus. All the food that I have gotten from them has been really good. Nice little sitting space out front to eat and people watch.

It'll work if you're in the area and need a quick fix.The reason I give it two stars is because the food is passable. It's not downright awful...it's just mediocre.

I normally LOVE getting food from Hovan on my way hom from work, but lately the owner has been VERY rude towards myself, clients, and previous employees infront of his customers. It is horrible. The food is worth the money, but the guy who owns this place is a JOKE.

Went there twice with my wife. First time food was o.k, had whatever they had as a special. Wife loved the moussaka. Second time we went we had gyros. Unfortunately Jacksonville has bad gyros everywhere we've been but these gyros were by far the worst I've had (best were in Paris and in Tarpon Springs).

Great Value . . . love the food

The hummus is wonderful.
