no one understands how much this place means to me,,, i dream about their lemonade. I usually get the chicken shawarma plate or the kids meal chicken shawarma wrap. Both are such good light healthy meals. The people that work here are ANGELS. I cannot stress enough how friendly and welcoming and helpful they are. Kinda wanted to gate keep this place but they deserve the recognition lmfao read more

Amazing, kind, flexible staff who treat you like this is your home. They greet you with warmth. I have been going for many years now and I have always had an amazing experience. The restaurant has a phenomenal environment, with both cultural Lebanese foods and a homey atmosphere. Their Baba ghanoush is amazing! (I always order some pita bread with hummus, you should too) A wonderful mom-and-pops style restaurant. Cute date location or family outing too! read more

Good is good, but the price is a little high. They have a nice staff, and the place isn't too big. They need to make some changes to the menu and offer more selections. The ones they do carry suffice, but the whole menu, restaurant, and price could do for a little "sprucing up". For example, there aren't enough drink selections. I have been here many times, and I would return in a heartbeat. read more

I love Fresh Bites and can't believe I haven't reviewed this before. This restaurant is a small Lebanese restaurant that prides itself on using all natural ingredients. Yes, it does make a difference! On our most recent visit, we got the hummus appetizer, which is always perfect. I got the chicken shawarma wrap and loved it. I've also had the salads, lamb kafta, etc. The veggies are fantastic. My favorite meal there is the grilled chicken tender platter. YUM! If you are in the area or want to try Lebanese, try it. Your tastebuds will thank you. read more

Fresh Bites - Hummus appetizer - Lebanese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

It take a long drive from New Tampa to this restaurant just to try it out. Since we're are visiting the Citrus Park Mall, may be a good idea to come here for the book mark we have. Arrive the restaurant at and the waitress ask us to sit any where you like. After sit down and ready for the order, four of the regular show up. The restaurant waitress came by and said since we have not order, can we move to smaller table. I am ok to move but there is another table can sit four behind me. Just don't understand why we have to move. I would said for this situation, they need to give us a free appetizer if we do a favor for them. Forget about the situation. Let concentrate on the food it self. Our food come out after the four people who took our table. We have order the the lamb kabab. The food only have six ounces on the grilled lamb. It accompanied with fresh salad, hummus, roasted potato and rice. Among all the rice is the best. Overall taste is good. I would give a 4 stars for the food. But value is not there for $14.59 dish with 6 ounce lamb. A bit in the high side. Service is below average. Treatment for new customer 2 stars. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. Here's the reason why: Although I'm a foodie that loves to try everything and I don't worry too much about calories, I buy organic and try to eat as healthy as possible on the regular...this way I can indulge when I go out to eat and not feel so guilty. Well, Fresh Bites allows me both. Natural ingredients along with great flavor! I love Lebanese food, so to get it organic is a huge bonus. The meats are all so tasty. I'm on a mission to have every dish on the menu...everything is good. The salad covers most of your plate, as it should. You get a perfect amount of meat and veggies. The rice is quite fragrant...I'm not certain, but I think it's made with coconut milk. My only complaint is that they run out of Labneh (a Mediterranean yogurt with olive oil). I love this stuff. I can slather it all over my lamb meat, it's so good...actually I go back and forth between hummus and labneh. :) Oh, they make good, fresh hummus too. So, I've never been crazy about baklava...until I had it at Fresh Bites. I guess it's because I've never had baklava so good. The filo is so crispy, the pistachio is so crunchy and the honey is so perfectly sweet. The owners make you feel welcome and are dedicated to good quality and take pride in their food. The baklava wasn't made to their standards one day, so they still served it to me, but wouldn't charge me for it. You just don't get that type of service everywhere. The place is quaint and fills up fast with just a few families. I recommend going on weeknights. We went on a Friday night once and were lucky to get a table. read more

Excellent. Fresh. Flavorful. Delicious. Middle Eastern / Lebanese food such as schwarma, falafel, hummus, lamb kebabs and such. I liked everything. Friendly service. Comfy lil place. The homemade lemonade and organic tea was very good. And comped with Yelp checkin.. whoop whoooop!!! We had an eggplant dish special stuffed with lamb bits and jasmine rice, the veg combo platter (hummus, babaganough, sliced radish and cukes, and a tasy dish with a name I cant remember; and the chicken schwarma. The meat was a tad dry for me but nicely seasoned. We had a cinnamony dessert that was tasty. Food left me feeling healtjy and hapoy. Glad to discpver this spot that Raju was keeping secret just for himself. Interior is casual and comfortable. Also a couole tables outside for you and your dog pal. No cat please. They are too dangerous and always plotting. read more

Fresh Bites is exactly that..fresh. I could really tell the quality of food and ingredients ate top notch. Small and quaint so it does full up quickly. I saw a steady flow of patrons while I was enjoying my lunch. I can't believe the flavor, so bright and beautifully prepared. I ordered the chicken shawrma which comes wrapped in a large pita, garlic paste and fresh salad lightly dressed. I absolutely can not wait to return and enjoy more of the menu options don't forget your free drink for check in. I loved the basil mint tea! read more

Stopped in for an early lunch, and was surprised that I was the only person in the place. It's a nice open roomy area - bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside, with plenty of tables. Even a few tables out front to enjoy the view of the parking lot and Countryway Blvd. :-) Place your order at the counter, and then they bring your food and beverage to you. Free soda with Yelp check in - sweet! One of my favorite things about Mediterranean food is eating all the different combos of food together. So, I was very surprised when their Falafel Plate - at $10.29, did not come with hummus, just a ramekin of tahini. As a result, I did have to order an add-on of hummus for $2.59, because it wouldn't be as good without it. The food came out quickly, and the falafel balls themselves were outstanding. Great flavor, not too oily, and I liked the assorted tomatoes, pickled veggies, and peppers that they were served with. Great plate presentation. The only thing I was not crazy about was the Lebanese bread - it is not pita, it is thin, paper-like, and almost tasteless. It was not useful at all in making my mini falafel sandwiches. Plenty of food, and I even had a little left over for a snack the next day. The food was excellent, and even though it's a little steep for a lunch budget, I will definitely be back for dinner. read more

Smallest portions I've ever seen. The lamb burger is so tiny, I feel like someone is playing a trick on us?! * updating this review after trying the food. We got the Babaganoush and lamb kabob wraps and both were the worst we've ever had. The dip had no flavor and the wrap had over cookies lamb and mustard in it? I didn't try the tiny burger because I felt bad asking for a bite of a 4 bite $17 burger. What a let down. read more

Worst Lebanese food I have ever had!! and I am from Detroit/Dearborn, MI. First and last time ordering here. Do not order! First, the hummus tasted awful that I literally almost threw up after eating it, it tasted rotten, very bad aftertaste. Falafel wrap super salty and again bad aftertaste. "chicken shawarma" is NOT chicken shawarma cut from the rotating chicken you find at authentic middle eastern places. This was a few pieces of grilled chicken on top of white rice with 3 veggies, are you kidding me and half piece of pita, "for a platter". Even the side salad was terrible and small portions. Baklava defiently was not baklava, maybe one piece of phyllo dough with a few nuts. I threw away all the food and $40. :(. Too bad very few middle eastern restaurants in Tampa. Avoid! read more

One of my very favorite spots for good, healthy fresh food. True healthy food restaurants are hard to find. This place is like a rare gem. Family owned & ran restaurant. The family is very lovely & kind & has a gift in the food department. Anisa always greets you with a smile and remembers details & asks genuinely about how you are doing & about your family. If you want to support local & a gorgeous family & eat exceptional food, I strongly recommend Fresh Bites. The hibiscus tea & basil & mint teas are fabulous & refreshing. Tabouli is delicious & I like the beef kabobs with the lovely salad & of course the hummus. Anything you order you will be very happy with & your belly with thank you for putting healthy top quality food in it. And what's better than choosing healthy & supporting local. read more

This cafe is my GO-TO spot when I'm working in this area of Tampa Bay. The staff is super efficient and accommodating. Fresh Bites is a cute cafe nestled in a strip mall, a rare find. The food is the main attraction. I'm a foodie who has traveled all over, so I love having found this unique spot where... Everything is unique, fresh and tasty. read more

This place is the best. It's like a little oasis of flavor in the blandest part of town. Working and living near Westchase, my foodie palate often feels starved for nearby restaurants that don't specialize in greasy chicken tenders or sad pizza. With the exception of Siam Thai and Hungry Greek, we almost never eat in Westchase. Then one day, I discovered Fresh Bites and it was a breath of fresh air! Fresh Bites is a family run, delightful cafe that serves up some of the loveliest food. If you've never had Lebanese food, it's 'kind of' like Greek, but with a different spice profile. Mediterranean food at it's finest, really. And the Mediterranean diet is known to be the healthiest. The quality of the ingredients here is perfection. Why on earth would I spend $8 on a slimy Publix salad, when could go here and have a terrific wrap? My favorite item here is the Lamb. Just do it. The hummus is great, the falafel is great, the veggies, good grief, it's all fantastic. You can also ask for some hot pepper sauce or a special garlic paste/sauce. Everything is made fresh daily and your tastebuds will rejoice. Whenever I go to Fresh Bites for lunch, I am very happy that I did. The service is friendly and accommodating. read more

They deserve a 4 star! One of the best experience I had from a local restaurant. It's nice to see and hear that the place is ran by a family. And that they know their regulars as I saw that they interact with them as they are part of the family. Regulars keep coming in as soon as they open. The food are great. One of the regular told us that Special are the best as they only offer it during the weekends. The prices are no bad as well. They only prepare local produce and all the stuff are prepared only at the place. They don't use preservatives and they prepare the dishes from scratch and all fresh. This makes the dishes taste great and the experience amazing. Hoping that more local restaurants like this will flourish in Tampa. They also have received awards from Yelp and from the community if you're looking for a new place to try I recommend this place. read more

Fresh Bites - Beef shawarma and special menu with hummus. - Lebanese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

What a great find. This was probably the best Baba Ghanoush I've ever had. Also, the falafel, crispy on the outside and NOT dry on the inside. That right there tells you how great this place is; not many places can do falafel right. The staff were kind and attentive, offering suggestions that meet your dietary needs. Personally I don't eat meat, but all the vegan stuff was packed with flavor. Highly recommend anyone give it a try and find out for themselves. read more

OMG sooooo delicious!! The pictures do not do justice for how yummy the food is!! Very fresh ingredients that seem simple but the way they combine with all the different herbs and seasonings is so refreshing and exciting! We tried the vegan platter and salad that starts with a F. Both were to die for! Huge portions! We split it and are fully satisfied! Also had to try the sweet potato coconut oil chips. Crisp and salty but somehow light. Cannot wait to try the other dishes! read more

Imagine you're a great Lebanese chef. This is the food you'd casually whip up in your own home kitchen. Unfortunately, I never mastered Lebanese cuisine so I came to Fresh Bites. I never would have even seen it if I hadn't found it on Yelp. Its tucked behind 7-Eleven on Countryway and Racetrack Road next to a Mathnasium tutor. Don't be fooled, it looks small from the outside but there is ample seating and even a cute bar area to sit at. The dining room is clean and roomy. At first, I didn't understand why the prices were so high. Nearly $15 for a grilled chicken plate - I was confused for sure. Well, Fresh Bites only uses antibiotic and hormone free meats, wild caught sea food, no artificial ingredients whatsoever. These values are hard to come by and oh so important, so I don't mind paying a little bit more. Fresh Bites is run by a sweet family, everyone is so kind and fun to interact with. I told you as close to a Lebanese home kitchen as you can get! I'm so glad I stopped in, I will certainly be back! read more

Absolutely delicious fresh food with great friendly staff. Shwarma was so flavorful!

Yesterday was my first time eating there and I was blown away! The food is absolutely amazing and the presentation is wonderful. The family that owns the restaurant is so sweet too and really tie together the whole experience! It's such a cute and comfortable environment. Truly feels like you're in someone's home! I will definitely be back and recommending this place to everyone. The food is organic/wild caught/you can even ask for gluten free options! Somewhere you can stuff your face and still feel great after eating. 10/10! read more

Long wait but absolutely worth it! I got the Lamb Grilled Kafta Kabab and it tasted great. The meat was seasoned exceptionally well (good aftertaste), and they give you nice portions or salad + rice. The atmosphere is laid back with nice long stone tables. It's also features a small wine bar by the entrance. The selection is typical of what you would find at most Mediterranean restaurants: wraps and plates. Each one gives you the option of choosing between chicken, beef and lamb. You can also go with grape leaves + hummus, á la carte. The price is a little higher than others but I'm fine with that since they use all-natural meats from a ranch outside of San Francisco that's known for humanly raising their animals. Maybe that's why the lamb tasted so good...they weren't feed gmo corn! I think a lot of people miss this place because of its location. The sign isn't prominent and several trees block the small commercial strip it's located in. I almost missed it myself but I'm glad I stopped in to give it a chance. *Make sure to check in to get your free drink! read more

I'm so glad that Fresh Bites is so near me! I love LOVE mediterranean food, and Lebanese is my favorite, and am always on the look out for something fresh, local, and delicious. Fresh Bites is all of the above. My husband and I, as well as my parents, have eaten here separately and together, dine-in and take-out, once a week for the past six weeks. It's so good. Everything is homemade - even the lemonade, which is awesome! So far we've tried the grape leaves (hand-rolled), the hummus, the yogurt-cucumber salad, the lamb kafta kebab, the kibbeh, the chicken and the beef shwarma, the falafel, and the vegetarian platter. Everything is delicious. I usually don't like falafel, but this falafel is AMAZING. Did I mention that the meat comes from local ranches, and that it's organic, free-range, anti-biotic and hormone free? Do you know how major that is? Another reviewer said that she doesn't care about that sort of thing, and that she'd rather take quantity over quality. Even if you agree with that statement, Fresh Bites is still wonderful! I always have leftovers, and the prices are totally reasonable. Most important for me, however, is that everything is homemade by the owner. She makes the little pickles that come with the falafel, the buttery baklava, and the sweet, polenta-like cake that tastes of rosewater and almonds. This lady is the jam. We're so lucky to have such a high quality restaurant in our area. read more

I like authentic ethnic food. Mexican, Chinese, Lebanese. It doesn't matter. I like it because their food usually has passion. And by that I mean they don't water down their flavor to cater to the masses. They cater to their respective ethnic groups and go above and beyond your typical Outback fare. I also like small restaurants. I prefer them over large, chain restaurants. I like small, family owned ventures. Where the husband is cooking, the wife is at the register and the nieces are waiting tables. There is something about the family affair that make the good taste better to me. I particularly like Mediterranean cuisine. Hummus, falafel, pita bread. Yum. Now, add healthy organic ingredients and you get Fresh Bites. So, naturally, I am impressed. I've had s couple of their shawarma wraps so far and I'm very impressed. They are big and fresh and flavorful. Just like I like it. I'm wanting to try the falafel so I'll post an update when I do. It looks delicious. So much food, so little time. The advertise all natural and organic ingredients. So if you want a healthy and flavorful meal, you should give Fresh Bites a try. This is definitely not your garden variety Mediterranean cuisine. It's all natural Mediterranean food that tastes great. As good as it gets. read more

Fresh bites=fresh organic ingredients. This is a Mediterranean style cafe. Pretty small and casual atmosphere. You order your food at the counter and they bring it to your table. I ordered the hummus which had great consistency but missed the mark on flavor. It was rather bland with no taste of garlic. The falafal wrap was very flavorful with tomato, pickled turnip and tahini. Love that all the food is prepared fresh and is organic. The lemonade was fresh and I would come back to try other options. read more
