Music volume on the outside patio is better this visit. 1 star deduction for lack of value

I ordered their vegan club sandwich ($13), which comes with tofu, tempeh, vegan mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onion. The sandwich came out in about 5 minutes.

We have been going to this "chain" since we came to Burlington four years ago. We came to this…read morelocation recently and we loved it just as we do the other locations. This visit, I ordered the fresh summer roll and the broccoli bites. While the bites were yummy, the summer roll really hit the spot on this particularly hot July day. Also, while I am not a huge fan of peanut sauce, this was the tastiest peanut sauce I have ever had. It was so good, I asked to pack it up to have with the leftover broccoli I took home. It was not cloying and overly "peanuty" and yet it was light and was a well crafted sauce.

Great food, great atmosphere, and a wonderful local experience!

Taste the east sando was nice but I wish the yolk was runner and the sauce a tad less sweet. The highlight of the sandwich was the arugula, very flavorful and not bitter. The best item on the menu was the Maple biscuit. It is a revelation. The crispy, buttery biscuit with maple butter and jam on top was so satisfying. The jam was so delicious. Even after we finished the biscuit, I packed the butter and the jam to go because I couldn't bear to waste any of it. Last but not least, the coffee tastes quite delicious black, and you can tell a lot about an establishment by their high-quality coffee. A great place to wake up to in the morning.

We had Mara for our server and you could tell she truly loves everything about the food there. For cocktails we ordered Mint and Honey, and Homa. The Mint and Honey had gin, lemon juice, honey, and labne. I never thought milk and lemon juice would mix, but it worked surprisingly well. The cocktails were definitely original but not something I would order seconds of. For mezze, we ordered half the menu. The lamb sausage crackers are kind of like ground lamb between two thin pitas that are then toasted. The local credited came with cucumber, radishes, and cherry tomatos. The muhammara was the star of the show, the punchy red people puree with curry, divine. The baba ganoush was also excellent but not much eggplant taste if you like that. The kale salad was lightly dressed with a creamy dressing, with crispy and very crunchy quinoa that ser it apart. The sugar snap peas were perfectly cooked. Seared halloumi was a crowd pleaser and must be ordered. The potato latkes were the surprising dark horse, crunch flavorful, but the jalapeño lahbne was amazing with it. The octopus had great flavors added and was very tender. There was a slightly fishy taste to it though. The lamejun is like pizza, on which the burrata was amazing. They brought a candle - lit baklava for dessert, a very sweet ending to our dinner. Love this food!

Rating: 4.3 Came to…read moretry this place for early dinner as this place had excellent reviews and we wanted to plan a dinner at church street market as we wanted to check the area as well. It's an upscale East Mediterranean restaurant focused on small plates and drink. Place was busy so we made a reservation but we ended getting there early and wasn't too busy so we were able to get tables as there were no option to reserve a table and only bar at the time. Parkings are available for street parkings only. We parked further out and walked over. Menu was unique as they mainly focus on small plates and drinks. They offer different kind of Mediterranean dips/bread and small plates. We got few things to try such as tahini hummus, home made pita, leb lebi, braised lamb simit bun, sweet harrisa chicken and greek style octopus with bread. First served was tahini hummus, pita bread and leb lebi. Home made pita bread was fresh, soft and chewy, hummus was creamy which paired very well. Lab lebi was crunchy spiced chick pea which was almost like a snack. I'm sure it pairs well with drinks but i don't drink so was a snack on its own. Next up was braised lamb simit bun. Single bun came with some braised lamb and pickled, mayo sauce and toasted bun. Flavorful lamb and nicely toasted bun. Greek style octopus with bread was interesting. It reminded me of ceviche with octopus but with olive oil. The harrisa chicken wing was good but not unique particularly. Overall food was good but definitely noticed portions were really small. The best thing was actually the home made pita. Service was good. Server was attentive. Overall it's a good restaurant but maybe for special occasions. Price is pretty high compared to the portion. Definitely get the home made pita bread and hummus but not sure if that alone will justify coming back.
