Happy to say I have clearly found a new favorite spot in East Lansing.

Hot on the heels of what felt like the fastest…read more summer of all time, the chaos that is melding work, school, sports, and community schedules is live and direct. With four girls all at different stages of life, my much better half and I are typically frenetic throughout the week and certainly don't slow down on the weekends. We also have an additional challenge of working on MSU's campus and living on the westside- which, I'm sure I don't have to tell any of our readers, has been so much fun with construction. Some days, I crisscross the city six different times with meetings, practices, games, school fun nights, and family obligations. All of this means, that time for cooking at home can be limited and the energy to do so is even less. Even when I have my act together enough to make multiple meals ahead on a Sunday, the luxury of even thirty additional minutes at home and not warming a meal for starving adolescents seems sublime. We are often guilty of choosing the quicker option of dining out/take out, which brings on transactional costs in health and quality. So where does one find quick, healthier food options? Enter Middle Eats, the Warren, MI- based food chain that specializes in Mediterranean food which opened in Frandor in August of 2024. A cousin of chicken hot spot, Wing Snob, the endeavor aims to be fast, fresh, and healthy with its combination of bowls, wraps, and salads. They also strive to be convenient by offering a drive-thru option and online ordering to expedite their service. The full menu is customizable much like national branded fast Mexican assembly line chains, but absent the ability to watch your food as its prepared. What's Good The Spicy Chicken Shawarma Wrap ($8.99) was stout. Packed with shredded chicken that was tender and flavorful, pita chips, lettuce, grilled onions (optional, $.99), pickles, garlic spread, and spicy Dillio sauce. Dillio sauce is a yogurt-based dressing with garlic, shallots, lemon juice, and dill. The sauce was yummy but not overpowering nor overly fiery. A reasonably priced handheld that is big on yum and fills the hunger pangs. Not as healthy, but also high on the tasty factor are the Loaded Shawarma Fries ($11.99). I ordered them with steak ($2.00) and I was not happy I did. Thick cut, carnival style fries are topped with meat, feta cheese, diced onions, jalapeños, tomato (none for me thanks), and spicy Dillio sauce. This dish was large enough to share amongst the family, and we had leftovers. The added bonus was the pita bread on the bottom that soaks up all the delicious drippings. What's Really Good Middle Eats will be a go-to at our house for years to come because of their bowls. Whether you choose rice or lettuce as a foundation, you can load up the rest of the bowl with plenty of protein and veggies from a wide variety. My wife ordered the Falafel Bowl ($12.99) which a strong choice for vegetarians. Crisp, lightly fried falafel (deep fried balls of ground chickpeas and herbs) are joined by your choice of hummus and/or garlic spread, regular or spicy Dillio sauce, and then lettuce, feta, onions, rice, pickles, and tomatoes. The falafel was satisfying in both the exterior crunch and the warm and fluffy interior. The herbaceous flavors melded well with the hummus and veggies. Additional upcharges include cucumber, eggplant, or grilled peppers. On a previous lunch visit with a colleague, I ran into a high school friend who was there with her daughter who didn't have school that day. She revealed that Middle Eats has become their restaurant of choice for Mediterranean fare because of the convenience and value. My teammate and I both ordered bowls, him the Chicken Shawarma ($12.99) and I the Surf & Turf ($21.33). Both of us were satisfied and with the heaping mounds of meat and veggies and the accompanying sauces. Best Bite A special nod this month goes to the Fire Grilled Shrimp ($6.99/Skewer). Plump and juicy with just a touch of kick, but a ton of flavor, these crustaceans rival many of the top seafood and steakhouses in the area. Added to a salad or bowl and they are incredible, but also divine on their own atop a bed of rice. I look forward to finding time to enjoy Middle Eats Fire Grilled Shrimp in new ways including in wraps or on loaded fries.

I'd ordered Haswi with two sides, it was pretty much seasoned rice with a few crumbs of beef and big dry chunks of chicken white meat mixed in. The tabouleh was soaked with vinegar, but the soup was nice, a flavorful, albeit tangy, potato soup. My companion had a dish that was a mix of spinach, onion and feta wrapped in filo dough and she said it was inedible from all the onion and vinegar. I took it home and heated it up, yes, it was indeed inedible. Into the trash it went. I appreciate the authenticity of the offerings, I'd wished they'd offered a description of what each dish was rather than us standing there looking everything up in Google. But the staff was friendly and very accommodating, the place was clean and bright, and if my friends want to go back I'll go with them.

While the whole menu, including some of the more traditional offerings (Kafta, shawarma, etc) looked amazing, I was quite curious to experience their take on a Gyro. Now Lansing has a lot of great Gyros, and we've tried a lot of them in our journey of eating at over 300 local places..... but I have to inform you all that today, my personal "Best Gyro in Lansing" slot changed hands. Many gyros are bread-heavy with the thicker pita breads, but I think what allowed this one to take my "best gyro" designation was really the thinner Lebanese-style pita bread, which made for the perfect compliment for the traditional gyro fillings, and the whole thing was cooked on a press until crunchy and served with a salad.

When we went to this new restaurant just off of MSU campus I had my reservations. But let me tell you, it has consistently been one of the best experiences I have known. First, the place is beautiful. Very clean, bright and welcoming. if you're a guy like me, you don't know what's gonna taste good. Each and every time I visited the staff takes as much time as you need to explain what goes into each dish, how to make it better and make you feel like this dish is being made for you. It might be a little more than you would think you'd like to pay, but every bit of it is fresh. And that's worth a lot in this day and age. So if you're on the fence, try this out. Even better, out of the seven times I have been here, a manager has walked up to our table and asked us how our food was. That is a lost art. And it's very well appreciated. Outstanding.
