I think I came on day 2 of this location being open. Even so, I thought this place had some pretty…read moretasty food. While not perfect, I think this was an excellent addition to downtown Evanston. I kind of wished there was more of an explanation of how to order. It looks like there is a plate, a sandwich, or a salad version. I guess it's kind of Chipotle style, but I was curious on what the sandwich would entail. I just went with the plate as it seemed like the most simple and if there was something I didn't like, I could just skip it. Here's what I had: Hummus: Excellent and a decent portion. I wish it came with a full pita instead of a half. Chickpea Salad: I hated the taste of it. I think it might have been me, but that was a miss for me Chicken with rice: Outstanding! The highlight of the plate. Cooked perfectly and served nice and hot. They offered to put on the hot sauce and I said "yes"! Whew, that's a spicy sauce! Loved it Add a $2 water and we are in business! The water was some kind of Icelandic brand which was a nice change from just Ice Mountain. As for price, everything cost me $15 which isn't bad for downtown Evanston. For the quality and portions I got, it worked! The only other downside is the place is a little small, but it's looking smaller with all the people in line right now. I really liked this place and o can see it going pretty well!

The inside decor is very nice and comfortable, and the staff was very attentive and helpful. We ordered the beef dumplings as an appetizer. They were delicious! We also ordered the mint lemonade and mango refreshers for drinks. They were also good. For our entrees we had the filet mignon kabob with white saffron rice and the shrimp kabobs with afghan rice. Our meals also came with naan. We were not disappointed by our entrees either- they were both great. For dessert we got the walnut baklava which we also enjoyed.

This is a counter service restaurant where we place order at the counter and they bring out the food to the table. Regardless, great Mediterranean food experience!
