Amzi Mediterranean Grill

I am giving this a two because of a few things:

1. The lady cook isn't friendly and ignores patrons (considering they just opened  you would think she would knowledge people).

2. The kitchen is dirty which is not smart considering it's open and people can see.

3. The food portions are TINY. My dinner entree was more of a lunch or even a sampler.

4. It doesn't have good decorations or a nice ambiance inside.

5. Considering the portion sizes, it's expensive.

6. The rice is bland, kefta is not cooked enough, the salad is pitiful and the tahini is too "nutty".

I ordered the hummus (small), what I would call a "greek" salad (romaine, tomatos, onions, feta and klamata olives w/olive oil - not listed on the version of the menu on the website), as well as the falafel sandwich (to go). The portions were generous enough that I made 2 meals and a sack out of it. Everything was handmade in front of you (aside from the hummus - but that was portioned infront of me, and the pitas - which were warmed on the grill in front of me) - and to your liking. It is clear that the folks running this place put a little of themselves into serving their customers - the food is very delicious. The store is conveniently placed for me - I walk past it 2-5 times a week. I will be back to try other menu items!!

The only downside was the salad was packaged in a container that was easy to turn over in the bag and I ended up with dressing/oil mess - but the food was so good I can't take back a star...I might recommend a tightly sealed container for your carry-out customers for the salad (and other potentially messy items) like you do for the hummus.

Generous portions of delicious home made Mediterranean food. If you go I recommend the lamb chop dinner or the chicken shawerma sandwhich. You will not be disappointed. You can really tell that the staff puts their heart and soul into preparing this food. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!!!

P.S. If you have a sweet tooth, the Baklava is one of the best I've ever tasted.
