Just right. The Tangerine Aleppo drink was refreshing with a tiny peppery kick. It was busy for dinner on Friday and it seems people were waiting a bit for their to-go orders but they did a good job of keeping the line inside moving. We were making 3 different bowls and there was a misunderstanding on the main. They added steak to the wrong bowl and remade it for me which is very much appreciated. A good number of tables inside that could work for small or bigger groups. There was also a small patio with outside seating,

I got a basic bowl and it was literally two full meals for me, and I had just finished playing tennis for 2 hours and was hungry! It's a great way to get quick and tasty Mediterranean food. It's a good concept, and I was pleased they had suggested or curated dishes--- sometimes it is hard to know how to COMBINE all the different meats/sauces/veggies, etc. So that was nice. For a casual fast-place, its very tasty...but give me a senior meal!

I was interested in the plant-based shawarma plate here and I really liked it! I'm not sure what…read morethe "meat" was based on, but it had a good tender texture and was very flavorful (I got the spicy version). The hummus and tahini sauce were also both delicious. Big portions of everything on the plate, but it seemed like too much tahini relative to everything else. They gave so much tahini that I couldn't use it all on the plate, but it was nice to have some leftover to take home. I didn't think to add anything when I ordered, but if I could do it over again I'd add the side of fresh lettuce and tomatoes because I felt like the plate really needed some vegetables. I really appreciated the inclusive environment. Even though I showed up 10 minutes before they closed, the staff were welcoming.

Amazing Chef / Owner - AVI ZENATTI If there was a 7 star…read moreoption, I would gladly give it and it would be GENUINE 7 star rating. Not only was the restaurant service great but the Owner / Chef AVI came to our table where 6 of us were seated for Dinner and spent time talking to us. When I told him we would love family style and some Vegeterian choices since 3 of our group were vegetarians so we will let you decide what to serve. First came the Vegeterian food - all very good but the Tomato Salad , Falafel and Shakshuka were outstanding which is an understatement. We are not big eaters but AVI insisted we try his selections and HE WAS PERSONALLY COOKING FOR US ! The next was Chicken Kebob platter really unbelievably tasty and we told them to stop since we were full but Avi's hospitality knew no bounds. The Fish ( Cod) melted in your mouth as did the LAMB CHOPS - I love eating out but have not experienced Mediterrean cuisine that good. Go try this place and you will truly enjoy the food. Thank you AVI ZENATTI

It's a little hard to find, and navigation apps are going to give you two different options that both make no sense, but persevere...it's worth it! The menu didn't note which items were or could be vegan and gluten free, but I knew Mediterranean food had a high likelihood of having both. I asked for options that would work for me and ended up with a plate of falafel, grape leaves, hummus and cucumber salad. The couple working were extremely helpful and the food came out quick. You order at a window and wait for your food. It looks like there could be an area for sitting inside where stuff is stored now - maybe that was fallout of the past three years. If they used to have seating, hope it returns someday! The food! It was delicious and filling and very high quality. Whenever I'm in the area, I will make it a point to stop in.
