It's part of the historic area of Lynchburg and has a nice brick line space that has been amply decorated. They offer a large vegetarian and vegan selection of both Indian and more Middle Eastern cuisine and because of the nature of the place, you can have a conversation about exactly what you want. I insisted that I wanted something spicy and managed to talk them into it. I got some okra that did have a significant kick to it and was otherwise fresh and aromatic. I also added a large chai which was sweetened to taste. I did not have room to really indulge on dessert, but nonetheless decided to take one small baklava to go. It was quite wondrous in texture and the flavor explodes out of it. The reason I had not been in before is that their hours are rather limited, but for anyone looking for vegan/vegetarian food in this part of the state, this place stands out.

Son-in-law got the Egyptian street burger, and the rest of us ordered bowls with shawarma meat. The meat was flavorful and tender. All the toppings were fresh (there are lots of great options). Falafel was spot on! I hope they're fabulously successful, because we can't wait to come back the next time we're here! There's lots on the menu (grape leaves and Habibi fries) that I want to try.

Located in the Cave Spring area of Roanoke, Virginia, I decided one day to going with a friend to try it out and see for ourselves if it offered an authentic Mediterranean dining experience. While we were driving in search of the restaurant we couldn't miss it. It small size with a cute and unique architectural design structure immediately caught our attention. It's prominent triangular roof and black square sign stood out from the normal restaurant designs. The front of the restaurant was one large window with a red framed glass door. It had a covered front porch with a dining table for 4 on each side for the convenience of customers who enjoyed dining outdoor during nice weather. We parked in their small parking lot and walked in. To our surprise, it had a simple minimalist interior design decor with white tile floors surrounded by black grout, white painted walls with poster size photographs of places from the Mediterranean hanging from the walls, and simple tables with different colored chairs. One ordered from the cashiers counter located in the middle of the restaurant / market with a display case next to it with the desserts in individual plastic containers. The menu with photographs of the main dishes was high above as well as one posted on the large window outside, and small size regular menus as well. Both my friend and I ordered a Kufta Kabob Sandwich and bottled drinks. My friend ordered a Freez Pineapple Coconut and I ordered a Mango Peach one. We were asked if we wanted fries with the sandwich and we both said yes. I also asked them to include a Falafel appetizer, that oddly enough the price charged for it was $7.22 before taxes. At the end they told us what the total price was and I paid, since I was inviting today. And then was given the receipt. Later on at home I saw that we were charged a Make It Combo fee of $8.22 just for including the fries, because the drinks were charged separate a $5.18 charge. After the order we went and sat down at one of the tables in the restaurant side of the business while they prepared our order. The fact that the Market was on the other side of the small interior of the business detracted from dining ambiance of fine dining, especially with having unopened and some partially opened boxes all around. After we finished dining, we walked around the Market to take a look at the different products they carried for sale. Now as to the food, the 6 Falafels were good but a bit towards the dark side meaning overcooked. The sauce that came with it was very good however. The Kufta Kabob Sandwich was amazingly fresh and delicious and the accompanied fries were well seasoned and nicely fried. And the sauce that came with them was also one of a kind. Judging from the friendly and welcoming attitude from the owner and another employee we met, from the variety of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern items on the menu, and the amazing flavor of the food we had, this is definitely the place to go if you're in the area for Mediterranean cuisine.
