    Mixed Grill Seafood
    Boon C.

    The seafood restaurant is great in this community. They have grilled and blacken food. It is very welcome by the neighborhood. I got the seafood combo blacken and grilled. The blackened shrimp is great. I like the squid also. It is delicious. Portion is enough for an adult.

    BEEF SHAWARMA PLATTER

    We popped in not know what to expect and we were pleasantly surprised. It was slow, the cashier who helped us was bubbly and informative. The portions were good for the prices, and the food was delicious. We would happily come back.

    Absolutely amazing! The seafood combination I ordered was fried so perfectly and the batter they use is delicious!! My wife ordered the regular combination which had the lamb steak and chicken. Each bite was a flavor bomb! This is a hidden gem located on 301 and I passed it many times. Finally I pointed it out to my wife on her bday and gave it a try. I will 1000% be coming back. Best calamari around hands down!

    I ordered a mix seafood plate. I asked to grill them with lightly blacken seasoning. The grilled tilapia, squid and shrimp tasted good. The side dish were rice, fry and chop chop salad. They tasted decent. The dining area was clean and big. The service was good enough. It's a nice middle eastern eatery at Riverview area.

    GREEK SALAD
    Kassandra M.

    I asked my mom to bring me a Greek salad, not knowing where she got it bought it from but after having a couple bites I had to text her where she got the Greek salad from and she told me "Amar"! This fresh Greek salad is amazing! The Greek dressing is not your typical store bought dressing. Something about it just taste so great and fresh. I will have to stop by and visit one of these days to have a hot dish.

    Always freshly made and wonderfully cheerful service. You won't find a better Mediterranean spot for 20 miles in Amy direction. Order the mixed platter with a side of babaganoush. Thank me later!

    Feeling lazy and decided to order delivery. What a pick! The food was soooooo good! I got the chicken tawouk and beef skewers. Comes with 3 sides. I got 2 sides of chop chop and rice. I also got pita bread and taziki. Oh man it was good, all of it! Fresh, flavorful and an excellent portion. Definitely recommend. 10 out of 10. Can't wait to try something else on their menu.

    The last bits of my wife's snapper.

    The food and service are excellent. The ambiance is great. The staff is always smiling and willing to go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied with your food selection.The wings and shrimp were delicious and my wife love the fried Red Snapper.

    Hoggie and baba ganoush (in the back)

    Some of the best falafels that I've had, super flavorful and moist. We also had baba ganoush as a starter and it was thick and delicious. It also came with about 4 pitas that were warm and fluffy. I recommend the apple malt soda that they have up front. It was so good that we took one for the road. The beef hoggie was also really tasty, juicy and a decent price for $10.99. Also had the kafta skewers and they were seasoned differently than I'm used to but I love trying new things and expanding my palate. If you don't like warm seasoning it might not be the dish for you. Definitely will come back to try more things!

    Kafta platter
    Kelly T.

    This place is located in one of the new plazas built on 301. The restaurant is bright, spacious, and not overcrowded. You order at the counter, and when we went up, we received great customer service from the girl that took our order. The food was hit and miss. We ordered the falafel appetizer. The falafel were substantial, and the portions were huge. They were so thick, though, that I got an uncooked vibe from them. The flavor was mediocre at best. It came with a side of chop chop salad and bread. The chop chop was phenomenal, and the bread was great. My spouse got the a chicken shawarma sandwich (not pictured). It was large, and it was tasty. The chicken was a bit dry, though. I got the kafta skewers platter with rice, fries, and hummus. The kafta was dry, but it had amazing flavor. It had a great charred taste. The rice was flavorless. The fries were good. The hummus was AMAZING! There is an up charge to get it as a side, but it is so worth it. Star of the whole meal. We also got two cheesecakes to go. They were terrible. Tasted very artificial. I'm glad we tried this place. Typically I would give 3 stars since the food was hit and miss, but the hummus was so good, I had to bump it up!

    Cali Cafe is an underrated spot in the Tampa area that offers various types of cakes and sweets…read more Our friends recommended Cali Cafe, and we have been fans of their cakes and sweets ever since. We've tried their Wine Cake, Orange Cake, and Tres Leches. We absolutely loved their cakes and consider ourselves personal fans. The Tres Leches Cake from Cali Cafe has definitely surpassed Publix's Tres Leches Cake. This is certainly a must-try bakery in the area.

Colombian spots like this are my jam & it's been on my list to visit for a minute now. The breakfast Sammy definitely set this place apart from the rest. I'd never heard of this before and honestly it's quite genius. I went on a Saturday morning and boy was it busy busy! I placed my order with the friendly attendant the wait was a bit long but there was plenty of seating inside (i didn't realize how big this place was inside!) so i sat with my book and before i knew it i was walking out with my order! Thankfully i don't live far so i was home with my order in no time. The breakfast waffle Sammy was delicious i ordered mine with sausage and split half of it with my husband. It was soft and cheesy and I'd definitely get it again next time. I also ordered 3 regular pan de Bonos, an arepa con queso, alfajores, and i heard the guava and cheese muffins were a must so i grabbed one too. Oh yeah and two cafe con leches. I see they have lunch as well so I'm gonna have to go back for a lunch Sammy and maybe some empanadas. I love that they have all the tables inside. It's a cute spot to meet with friends for cafecito and treats.

    As a former corporate pastry chef for Hyatt Hotels for almost22 years and the owner of my own…read morefamily bakery and restaurant for 17 years, I know how hard this business is, and I rarely leave negative reviews. The disappointment began before we even walked through the front door. The entire entrance looked more like a junkyard than a tea room: oversized plastic chess pieces, random wood on the wall where a sign had been removed, dark staining that looked neglected, broken flower pots, old rusted garden furniture. My wife and I almost turned around. Had we been paying that day, we likely would have left. But we had a gift certificate, so we gave it a chance. What concerned me even more was the safety. The steps were in poor condition, and the handrail was extremely loose, moving several inches side to side. As someone with a disability, that felt unsafe. Accessibility should be basic. Inside, the owner and our server were kind and welcoming, and I genuinely appreciated that. But both teapots had been placed on the table before we were seated, and my tea was already cold. I had to ask for hot water just to have a proper cup, which I wouldn't expect from an afternoon tea. The biggest disappointment was the food. At forty five dollars per person, ninety for two, I expected quality and attention to detail. Instead, the sandwiches and pastries were among the poorest I've ever been served. I could only manage a couple of small sandwiches and one dessert before giving up. What surprised me most after our visit was reading the five-star reviews. Based on our experience, it is difficult for me to understand how this place earns that level of praise. I hope this is taken as constructive criticism. The staff was kind, but kindness can't overcome serious maintenance and quality issues. Sadly, I can't recommend it in its current state Update Thank you for responding We were celebrating my wife and I our retirement and chose not to create an awkward moment. Many people reflect afterwards. Our review reflects our honest experience."

Thankfully it was close by, we didn't have to go all the way into Tampa to find a great tea experience. Affordable too!! The settings are all fine china from England. You get 2 teas. An English breakfast black tea and a caffeine free herbal tea. Sugar and honey to complement. You do get a few courses as well. Soup and scone to start off. Then a tower of sweets and savory sandwiches. The cucumber sandwich was so good. I LOVED the soup and scones. Everything is homemade, amazing! The service was so friendly and nice. Our server poured our teas and explained everything we were getting. It was very relaxed and no rush. It was a great experience and we definitely left full! I would love to come back here again soon. Only note of improvement I think the outside could be cleaned up some. Thank you!

    So walking pass this place first thing I saw was the sign that said Fried Oreos, Fried Cheesecake,…read moreFried Twinkies, Fried Brownies... I seriously talked myself into walking pass it as I kept looking saying OMG You do not have all this goodness right here.. they laughed at me and say come on you gotta try it.. I said nooooo I can't it's not what I walked in this mall for. I continued to the clothing store across from them but leaving out I had to pass Remo's so guess what we found each other and I couldn't pass up those Oreos.. They were everything I thought it was going to be. Sam was working behind the register she was amazing, super sweet and helpful she made sure to go over the menu with and all the extra things i could add. She was working with another gentlemen who was preparing the order. He was delightful very pleasant he really made it extra hard when I was passing by he kept saying "why not" You won't regret it" Listen if you're wanted a super nice treat while shopping in the Brandon Town Center Mall you should definitely try them out. They are right outside Books a Million, so again a place that easy to get to and leave out if you're in a rush. Sam thanks for making my afternoon feel like being at the fair, wanting nothing but the foods lol but less stressful of all the people and most importantly showing me that goodness not only comes with the items on your menu but the people like you and your staff working behind the counter. These were perfect in every way and with that added sea salt caramel drizzled on top I'm still shaking my head.
