Lebanese food truck in South Tampa!…read more I love Lebanese food, and so I had to check out Beirut Bites when I heard about it. It's on the corner of Henderson and Swann, lots of parking, and a small covered area if you want to eat there. I was the only person there for a Wednesday lunch. Hot food was made to order, so don't expect "fast" food. I ordered a kefta sandwich and an order of dolma. My food took about 15-20 minutes to prepare. I was given the choice of mayo or tahini for the sandwich (I chose tahini, obviously!). The owner does not speak English well, but he is very friendly. The food was good! Probably on par with Petra, but if you don't want a sit down meal (or don't want to deal with the parking situation at Petra), Beirut Bites is a good alternative.

Tried this new Lebanese sandwich food truck. This place opened about 5 months ago. My Palestinian…read morefriend (not in photo) said it takes like home. Owner/chef, Rafe was so kind and helpful in deciding what to eat. This was sooo flavorful and fresh tasting. I am so happy it's close to me because I will be returning happily! The portion is very generous and the sandwiches are so saucey and full of meat. The creamy sauce in both sandwiches reminded me of the 6 sauce in the French Taco from Cybel. The chicken msahab had so much chicken and french fries, pickles, and was perfectly encased in a fresh and soft french bread. My friend got a beef sandwich which is a better way of satisfying a hamburger craving. The fried beef balls (kibbeh) were also incredible with the garlic and tahini sauces. Just delicious.

Let's talk. This was my first time having Palestinian food…read moreand it was absolutely delicious. If I lived in Tampa, I would be here way too much. The Mixed Grill platter was amazing. The pickles on the side plate were gooood. The olive oil on the hummus was life-changing. Palestinian oil might be the best oil I've had. The Gyro Wrap was built-your-own, allowing for so many combinations. Everything was to die for. New bar has been set for food. Staff was also super friendly!

Middle Eastern and Brazilian dance music pumping from the central speaker, and the owner's friendly service, make this a lively late night option. About 15 min wait at 10 pm on a Sat, then we took our goodies back to the hotel just a block away to enjoy. My beef shawarma pocket featured fluffy pita and the beef was tender - next time I'd ask for extra pickles, as they helped cut through the Salty richness. Just wish that this truck sold lamb, as that's my all time fave shawarma filler. Offspring liked his beef Philly cheesesteak, and we both enjoyed the crinkle cut fries.

I ate at this food truck for the first time because my church had a mini food truck lunch rally. I…read moreordered the Chicken Shewarma, which is like a pita or gyro. It was very tasty and a good amount of food. The only thing I would change about my experience would be for the fries to be advertised as a side so that we'd know how much they cost, since the price wasn't listed on the menu. When I grabbed some ketchup packets for my fries, the packets had dirt on them which was a bit weird. Maybe I got the bottom of the batch or something. But over all the quality of the food was great, very tasty, and I'd order it again! The pita was very warm and soft.

Up until recently, I've actually had a huge aversion to food trucks, but that has certainly…read morechanged. It may have been the fact that at my first job out of high school, folks called the truck that swung by the "roach coach." Conversely, it may be my binge watching of food network and their Food Truck Rally that has changed my mind. Either way, I'm very pleased with the fact that I've begun exploring these great little mobile sources of food pleasure. This food truck swung by work recently, and I have to admit I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Middle East cuisine. The young woman taking the order was very patient and explained all the different plates, the variations available, and what came on each. Her top recommendation came for the beef shawarma and I told her I'd take it. One thing that folks have to realize is that these are mobile kitchens with very limited space. In today's age of fast food that seems to be sitting under a food warmer and being prepared long before you order, there is an unrealistic expectation that a food truck will spit your order out in a minute or two. I played on my phone for a while and was delighted when my name was called. The meat was perfectly seasoned and there was no skimping on the portions. The liberal amount of sauce on top added to the tastiness (and most definitely the messiness) of this dish. I'm hoping this food truck comes back soon. Not only for a chance to try some other of their tasty dishes, but also because of the friendliness of the woman at the window, and for how (relatively) quickly my food was served.

Tonight I saw this truck outside Pete's Place and decided to give it a try. The guy inside was…read morereally nice and gave me a to go menu with all of the offerings since they weren't all on the menu board (he said his handwriting wasn't the best hehe). We decided on a large lamb gyro (for Taylor) and I got a falafel pita. I ask for no cucumbers since they are gross. He offered peppers instead without me even asking and I thought that was very thoughtful. Everything was made with care and to order. The tzatziki was light on the cucumbers thankfully. Taylor loved his gyro. I enjoyed the falafel. It was crunchy on the outside and the cool sauce was a nice complement. They charge a 3% fee for credit cards so I used cash. The prices are not cheap, but that is normal for food trucks.

Rare Ethnic Food #46 Syrian Cuisine…read more I am going with the bad first. The the consistency of great food at everyday need to bring it to customer. With that said. Our experience with the restaurants for one day is fantastic. We were there Friday buffet. That is the only best day or what we call Prime Day. The buffet set off day only Friday and Saturday from 1 pm to 6 pm. Friday we have visited is the best day compare to my friend went on the following day. The food at Saturday is not nearly good as to Friday buffet. The Friday buffet has Mansaf - a authentic Arab lamb dish. It was delicious. It also has bake and bbq chicken, beef, fried fish. Other than the main dish. They also have about 12 other choices including the eggplant. Food is great on Friday buffet. It worth the price and experience to try their food. Since it is buffet, get all you can eat. We were stuff with food.
