This place is like a breath of fresh air in the mundane food scene at Wilkes Barre, PA. Writing…read morethis review gives me a nostalgic joy :) Except the shabby parking spots that are tough to maneuver during winter months, they don't have any other cons. This itself says so much about the restaurant. Food is consistently good, staff (including the owner) take the time to greet the customers & make them feel comfortable and service is very quick (Less than 20 minutes) My favorites were and still are falafel and mamoul cookies. In fact, I tried mamoul for the very first time here and got instantly addicted. They're shortbread cookies (made with a special impression) filled with either dates or fig paste. Not overly sweet and made with the right consistency, I highly recommend them. Prices are fair and although they have a dine-in area, last I checked, they allow only takeout. And, their timings are suitable for lunch and early dinner, so plan accordingly.

Stopped into Pete's Place to get a smorgasbord of Middle Eastern staples the other day. I like to…read moreget a variety of homemade dishes, sides, dips and ingredients there, including the pita bread and some of the candies, little treats and desserts that they carry from other parts of the world. The baba ghanouj is bangin'; that's the first place I ever tried it but anything I've had since then, just doesn't cut it. The baba ghanouj is light and fresh, unlike store-bought brands that can sometimes taste metallic or bitter. Add the meat pie for a well-seasoned update on the pasty we grew up with (apparently the Cornish pasty is a protected food in the EU, like champagne or asiago, who knew).

The lamb was flavorful, but it was a little on the tougher/chewier side. We were surprised by how much we enjoyed the cabbage rolls! They were perfectly cooked and flavor packed. However, the bread absolutely stole the show. It was crispy and chewy, and we loved dipping it in the broth of the cabbage rolls.
