Mediterranean Foods

I tried this place for the first time a couple weeks ago.  I met a buddy of mine for a 12:00 lunch on a Thursday.  My friend had never experienced Mediterranean food so it seemed appropriate since he was trying something new that I should try a new place as well.

I think I found Mediterranean heaven.

It's a casual place that offers dine in or carry out.  The guy helping us (owner/cook/server) was incredibly accommodating.  Since my friend was unfamiliar with all the goodness that is Mediterranean, we asked for a "sampler" plate even though nothing like that is on the menu.  We were served hummus, tabbouleh, falafel, lamb, pita, and dolmas.  Now before I continue, let me say that I can be picky about what goes in my mouth.  I love all food, but I love GOOD food.  And this... this was incredible food!

The hummus was smooth and creamy with lovely flavor.  The tabbouleh was the freshest, most yummy I've ever tasted.  The falafel was moist, flavorful, and made me say mmm.  I didn't eat the lamb.  The pita was fresh and warmed nicely-still had some moisture to it.  Dolmas are generally super greasy but these were perfect!

With a bill of about $11 for a huge sampler plate and two drinks, we left pretty happy.

I wanted to see if it was a fluke so I returned with another friend on Saturday.  This time I got a falafel sandwich and, like other yelpers, was asked if I wanted it spicy.  I am not usually a spicy food fan but Mr. "I can cook like a "bada**" assured me that I would like it.  Wouldn't you know, I loved it.  This time, we got some baklava to share.  And of course, I wish I wouldn't have shared :)

Casual dining, great service, reasonably priced... what are you waiting for!  5 stars of awesomeness all the way.

Small menu. Excellent food.

Great for eating in or take out - quick and cheap

I got a falafel wrap that was out of this world - the falafel was moist, not dry like a lot of places. The sauces were great (get the red sauce it's smokey and tangy)

I also got some baklava (not made there but still delicious... can baklava be anything other than delicious?)

I've heard a lot of other things are equally as delicious and I will be back to try more.

I used to get their chicken shawarma. That's good (and very filling), but yesterday I tried their artichoke wrap (I replaced the hummus with tzatziki sauce) and it was AWESOME! The olives and artichoke have so much flavor! It was so good that I had to talk about it on Facebook!
