Food mediocre at best. What brings this restaurant down is its inconsistent hours. The door says 9:00 but I have been there twice in the last month an hour plus before 9:00 and the chairs are up, food is off the line, and the employees say they are closed. ????

No lie, this place reminds me of a Mediterranean Chipotle. But better quality. It was a pretty clean and nice area, and the employees were nice. I ordered a Spicy chicken plate with everything on it. They have an assortment of options for meat and sides. All their drinks are organic, both carbonated and non-carbonated. Wasn't bad, just do not expect simple flavors when going there. We had a side of fries, and it was fresh and seasoned well. Def a place I'm going to come back to since I stay nearby read more

First time visiting Garbanzo. Think of Chipotle, but Mediterranean style regarding the set up of the restaurant. Nice and clean, organized, friendly staff, and convenient parking (had its own lot as well as street parking). I ordered the falafel plate which was very filling for the price, especially since I was allowed go select a multitude of add-ons. I also bought a shareable French fry - delish! Seasoned just right, hot and fresh. As for their drink options, organic soda beverages, teas, and lemonades. The Kola Cola was really good! On Mondays they offer a free fry with any entree, so check them out!! read more

I was pretty unimpressed with my most recent experience. I was going to order online, but I saw it would take about 30 minutes and I was close by so I went to order in person. The person who took my order seemed really confused by everything I was saying - I asked for a bowl with rice and she put the lettuce in first. Then she added half a scoop of rice on top. I decided to just continue with the order and I asked for garbanzo beans and she put olives because the garbanzo beans weren't in the correct place. I wanted to start over, but another employee told her not to. I didn't want to waste, so I finished my order and checked out. The bowl was definitely not worth the cost, especially because it wasn't really what I asked for. I thought maybe it was just my ordering that was confusing, but I also asked for a side of fries and the person checking me out asked her to make another order. He had to ask her multiple times and she had to clarify multiple times. The fries were disgusting - super salty and cold. read more

This is my mediterranean go-to! Chef's. Kiss. Order: * chicken bowl, with almost all the fixins + pita bread * fries * bakalava They do NOT skimp on any of the ingredients OR the sauce you want in your bowl! I think I asked for 3 sauces because we love to try new things. Let me tell you, there was so much in that bowl that I had that bowl for lunch, dinner and not gonna lie, a little bit for breakfast. Fries |I love potatoes in all of its forms. Theirs is cut like a thicker shoestring. (Think jack n the box circa early 2000s) It's a seasoned fry but not drenched in seasoning like a traditional seasoned fry. It's got more mush than crunch which is totally fine by me. There was crunch though! I ordered to go, so the moisture probably softened it up in the plastic to go bag. Baklava | I only wish it was a bigger slice. That is the only complaint! So much goodness packed into this small crunchy, honey, nut, dessert pastry. It was almost $4 for something that was smaller than my palm. Très sad. I did order for pickup. The parking lot was PACKED so I had to walk a few blocks just for pick up but when I went in there were only a few tables open and 2 parties in line. Luckily there is shelving to pick up to-go orders so I was in and out. I want so badly to be a regular, but for my order it was a little over $21 which I guess is okay because it was two meals for me, but for reference to others, I am the queen of leftovers. read more

My wife and I met up for lunch here today and really enjoyed it! It's a chain restaurant, kind of like if Chipotle had a Mediterranean cousin that was really into organic food. Lots of fresh options to customize your meal. We each got salads with different proteins and toppings. All organic sodas in the fountain and organic lemonade and teas also. We tried a couple of tea/lemonade combos while we were there. All very good! Plenty of seating, both inside and on their patio area. Parking was a little tough, but it's downtown Clayton, so you'll have that everywhere. Overall a lovely lunch. Grabbed the catering menu to bring back to the office for our next meeting! read more

I generally do not like Mediterranean food, but I actually really like this place. The sauces are zangy and good, food is fresh, and the quality is there. To be honest, I have only tried the falafel (vegetarian), so I can't speak for the meat, but it's good. It's also a hefty portion size--I get the plate with an extra pita and it feeds for for two lunches. Service is fantastic. When I order online, it's ready to go when I get there and includes everything I need. The people there are very nice and I don't feel like a bother when I need to pick up. Like I don't need to awkwardly wait to pick up--they see me and engage with me quickly. Really appreciate that. It's a very clean place inside--very open, airy, and friendly. Lots of space, but not the best for parking. I think I don't like Mediterranean food after a few misses with the sauces that were too bitter and maybe spoiled, but this is now the only place I will eat Mediterranean food from. I trust it unconditionally since they have consistently delivered great food. TLDR; best falafel I've had in STL. read more

You choose between a bowl, salad, wrap or plate and then add whatever toppings you like which includes hummus, pickled veggies, roasted veggies, fresh veggies, cheeses, meats, and sauces.

WOW!!!! Found the midwestern edition of Cava. FINALLY. You walk in and its a chipotle-style mediterranean grill. Your offered some falafel and choose between greens, grains, or pita or some combination of any. Pick your carb : rice, beans, etc., protein (chicken, lamb, etc.) and toppings (feta, tzatiki, etc.) and voila you have your creation. Absolutely excellent tasting, good prices, and quick line. Decent amount of seating inside, not a whole lot of parking. I am literally thrilled I found this joint- been having Cava withdrawals every since I moved to STL from NYC and this fills that void!

The Chipotle of Mediterranean food. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out as special to me. A good way to have a quick, semi-healthy lunch. My husband and I were a little frustrated that we were offered pita with our salads as if it was part of the dish, but came to learn upon reviewing receipt it is an add-on. The pita bread was good. I also enjoyed some seasonal hummus and a variety of tasty salad toppers. However, for the price, I'd rather get the same thing from a local spot, and at a full-service restaurant. read more

Garbanzo reminds me of a noodles or chipotle in their atmosphere but I think the food is a step above the rest. I stopped in for takeout for two, two pitas with gyro meat. You get to fill your pita with all the Mediterranean toppings you could think of. I packed mine to the brink and had to eat it with a fork, no regrets. The service was great and they were really kind when I requested a side of each of their sauces to try. The beverages are from an organic company and their are lots of options. I mixed the lemonade and black tea for an Arnold Palmer. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that they were out of the chicken kabobs and that's what I was craving. This is a great fast casual restaurant and affordable- two stuffed pitas, a large beverage and two falafel on the side for 22$. read more

The noodles are light, bento box very filling, wontons perfect. Everything is scratch made and when they use impossible it's in small increments so you get a lot of Asian vegetables and tofu to complement. The old couple that runs it are so adorable, like eating with your grandparents. Super clean, service incredibly friendly!

They just opened in April and I finally got to check it out this weekend. Currently, they are only open on the weekend. First impression, the inside is spacious with minimal decoration but adorned with many plants. It brings out a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. They also played some calming music in the background. The owners were an old couple and they made us feel so welcomed. They walked us through the menu and checked on us regularly to see if everything was to our linkings. The menu offered a wide variety of selections. I ordered the Hong sao mein, Crispy Suji Filet Bento and Five-spiced Dried Tofu. Our favorite was the bento because of the Suji filet. It tasted just like Taiwanese Crispy chicken with flavorful seasonings. The noodles soup was comforting and light. The broth was not oily and salty at all. The fake meat patty tasted like beef, super soft and tender. The five-spiced tofu was a bit salty so you would need to eat it with rice. They offer free hot tea and you can make yourself at the self-serve station. They have a big parking lot located next door but you can also park in the neighborhood. I highly recommend this restaurant and I would come back to try out more dishes.

A very cute and cozy restaurant with plenty of seating inside for larger groups. The staff was friendly and service was pretty fast. I had a salmon dish that came with rice and veggies. I do wish there was a sauce or a little bit more flavoring to the dish but overall it was a pretty solid meal. The dish also came with a lentil soup, which was very delicious and a good addition to the meal!

I finally checked out Bar Moro after hearing everyone talk about it, and it absolutely lives up to…read morethe buzz. The space feels effortlessly stylish -- low lighting, lively crowd, and that kind of energy where every table looks like they're in on something exciting. I kept it seafood-focused and started with the oysters. They were impeccably fresh, briny, and beautifully presented on ice with the right accompaniments. You could taste the ocean in the best way possible. The tinned fish selection was a fun surprise -- elevated and thoughtfully plated rather than just opening a can and calling it a day. Paired with crusty bread and bright garnishes, it felt intentional and indulgent.

We went to Bar Moro for a special dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The ambiance was perfect as…read moreit wasn't too crowded, moody dark lighting, intimate, and romantic. Though, the music didn't exactly match the same vibe. It sorta felt like I was in a nightclub in Spain. We thought the food was delicious overall and ordered the branzino, pan con tomate, meatballs, sangria, house salad, and flan for dessert. It seemed each table got some crusty bread for a starter, but we found it a bit odd it didn't come with any oil, butter or something. Each dish was shareable (small plates except the entrees were bigger) which made it a more fun, shared experience, and we got to try several different things before getting full. I'd never had branzino and thought all the dishes were very good and would order all again, but I would go with a different salad choice. The service was good, but not great for the price point. Since it was our first time visiting and several items were in Spanish, I felt the server could have provided a bit more guidance to the menu offerings and concept. Considering the meal for two ended up being well over $100 I was expecting a higher level of service. Overall, I think it's a great little restaurant in Clayton for a special occasion or date night. It's pricey for sure, but I think the menu offerings are unique, and the dark cozy vibe made me feel like I wasn't even in St. Louis.
