    Chicken & Gyro/Lamb BOWL
    Jessica G.

    The food was great. I love that you can customize your bowl to your preferences. There's variety. It all tasted very delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is in a small but nice plaza and there's a lot of seating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was fresh, clean, and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fast and she was nice.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Simple and Fresh! That is the best description I can give to this Mediterranean spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My girl and I went here for lunch; [[HIGHLIGHT]]we walked in and the ambiance is super clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fresh smell of ingredients immediately swift my nose.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chipotle/subway style bar that you choose your ingredients is really efficient. The servers are accommodating and suggested us what to try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The experience of dinning in is pretty good for starters.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My girl and I ordered their Pita wrap where they are famous for, hence their name. Their ingredients taste super fresh and its affordable, as well. Nowadays, these quality wraps cost almost $20, but in here you can get less than that. Their wrap have balance flavor in it, so its not too overwhelming and ease you out in every bite. Overall, I'll go here again whenever I have a chance :)

    Okay Bellflower! Why I didn't came back sooner?? I came back to my old town and found this restaurant. Want Mediterranean flavor? This is your call! This restaurant is being here already a year probably... I walk in and I was greeted by the owner, Cecilia. I told her it was my first time there and I started tasting the lamb and chicken meat, it was bomb! I always struggle finding good Mediterranean food and healthy food choices! This restaurant met my expectations with fresh, well seasoned food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very clean, wheelchair accessible and has a QR code menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are a bit high but, but! I don't mind spending a little bit more for something healthier and home made food taste. I am giving a four because the plate could have a bigger side of meat and I love all sides but I feel the plate could be filled with more of what I got, other than that , I am sure I will return to the restaurant!

    Chicken wrap with everything!
    A C.

    Always fresh, made to order and delicious. I eat here at least twice a week. Service is super fast & friendly. Love the wraps, pitas and salads with chicken. (Tip: add the carrots & jalapeno cilantro dressing!)

    Chicken BOWL
    Paul F.

    The rice was cooked perfectly, and the sauces tied everything together without overpowering the bowl. The pickled onions and cabbage added the perfect crunch and balance, while the feta and creamy sauce gave it a rich finish. Even the pita was warm and fresh. You can tell real care went into this dish, fresh ingredients, great portions, and amazing flavor combinations. Easily one of the best bowls I've had in a long time. The chimichurri sauce is delicious as well with the other sauces. I would want to try to gyro beef instead of the chicken next time. Customer service was great come support this new business. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super clean environment well take care of thank you![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Everything here was super dry. Really dry...
    Louis P.

    Ok late post from February work lunch I had earlier this year. Reading all the good reviews thinking maybe I just had a bad experience? Anywho, came in go the bowl 2 proteins. Dry. Like reaaally dry. It was pretty bad. Veggies tastes like they been sitting on the warming tray for a minute. Came in around noon-ish so doesnt make sense to me. Gyro meat was dry, grilled veggiesnwere dry, hummus was mid, sauce was good. Staff was nice, mentioned was my first time there and offered suggestions. Def willing to give it a other try, maybe caught them on an off day. I dunno.

    Chicken & Falafel BOWL
    Mariella S.

    This had to be the yummiest meal i've had in a long time. i got the bowl with chicken and falafel, i've never been the biggest falafel fan but this might have changed my mind. The serving size was really good for the price, and it feels like a healthy meal overall! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ordered pick up so I can't say much about the inside of the restaurant but I did see they had good amount of seating available and the girl who gave us our order seemed very nice![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] :)

    Food was fresh and delicious! Service was prompt and graceful. It was brunch time with Gemi and I was starving! This spot is gonna be a local gem

    Build your own bowl, with chicken yummm
    Mayra F.

    OK I'm so impressed! Finally a good Mediterranean place on this side of town :') everything is so flavorful and you build it as you wish! Cava who? I'm def coming back to try more things. The price is also great for the huge portion you get. Highly recommend this place! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the veggies were crisp and fresh, the rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the sauces are a great finish for an explosion of flavors that go so well together! Yummmssss

    The bowl with chicken
    Mari H.

    Glad I picked this spot to order my lunch from. This will definitely be on my rotation. I ordered the bowl with chicken. It was very tasty. I also ordered a side of hummus. Wow the hummus is so good...I could not stop eating it!

    Fantastic bowl. No rice & mixed up. Yum!

    OMG. Delicious, Homemade, Healthy, Fermented REAL food! My 1st time here, so I mistakenly got too many toppings. Usually eating out, you must add more sauce & cheese for flavor, but not here! Next time, I will get it just the way it comes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean beautiful dining area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent service & they can list their short ingredients list. Food the way Mom & God designed! No seed oils used--only olive oil. A lot of meat in the bowls!

    This is one of my go-to places during lunch. Staff is very nice and they give you a lot of meet. My pita is always stuffed. Food is delicious too. I like the beef gyro.

    Pita Bowl with Gyro (lamb and beef mix)
    Nancy A.

    The bowl is simple but I feel very healthy eating this. The portions are not outrageous but just right for a nice lunch. The gyro meat is very flavorful too (I like the chimichurri sauce).

You order inside and the servers will bring your order to your table. There is indoor as well as outdoor seating. Love that this place is dog friendly as well. Rami was super helpful and friendly, going over some of the popular dessert and drink options. Since I came in the evening, a few of the desserts were already gone. The earlier you come, the more dessert options you'll have. They also have all day breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu which I did not try, but everything looked super tasty. I got a few desserts and a matcha strawberry foam latte (they use ceremonial grade matcha) and the biscoff latte. Loved that both weren't overly sweet and the biscoff latte had a rich coffee taste. My favorite dessert by far was the banana mousse. By the time we left, the line was out the door. Even though it was packed, the servers are super friendly and take the time to make sure you're enjoying yourself. Definitely a must try place if you're in Downey. No need to go to LA to try those over hyped dessert places. One Twelve Cafe does it just as good, if not better and they have many more tasty options to choose from.

I was in the area and I've never had a cute coffee with the latte art (so many of my friends are going to roast me for this) When I pulled up -nice private parking -a staff member was outside painting on the windows with the cutest window art. The girl had talent! This place has also given back. They helped with the LA fires last year. So bonus points for places who give back. (They gave back to the Pasadena humane society) There was a pretty big line and it was pretty loud in here, but it went by very fast. My friend grabbed a table while I placed the order. -they do have a good amount of seating. The place is pretty small though. So we sat for a minute after our drinks came out and then decided to take it to go -they have latte art that changes every month. So I like they have some rotating options. It was my turn and I ordered two sugar free mocha iced coffees. One with regular foam, And mine had strawberry foam. When I told Matthew at the counter it was really important the one drink be as sugar free as possible due to my friend being diabetic, he warned us there was sugar in the foam, but he would go as light as possible. So I appreciate him warning us and taking it serious. I picked the new hello kitty art of the month (hello kitty in a bathing suit with waves and dolphins) And my friend picked from the new monthly latte art as well, and got the Kirby character Even though it was busy, it took probably 2 minutes for our drinks to be made Matthew was absolutely great. His energy, he had a smile on his face, was knowledgeable about the menu, Matthew was everything you'd want in a staff member. Just like any coffee place, you pay and give them a name for your order, and then they call your name and you pick up your coffee at the counter. These drinks hit the spot!!! It was very trendy. They had Sabrina carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo specials and they even had a Lana Del Rey latte (cinnamon girl, named after her song) only thing that bummed me out They had a case with delicious pastries. But since I came here later in the day, they only had a couple stragglers left behind -they open at 7 am, for everyone needing their morning coffee -vegan options -free WiFi -woman owned -LGBTQ owned -they give back to the community

It's kind of like a different version of Jamba Juice but with more food options, which I appreciate because sometimes I want to feel balanced. You know, salad in one hand, smoothie in the other. Service is always fast, which is crucial during a workday escape. Anna is the sweetest and the person I interact with the most. She's always welcoming, personable, and makes the whole experience feel friendly and easy. The place is very clean, and they always have protein chips and other little goodies on the side if you want to justify adding "just one more thing" to your order. There's also a good amount of parking right up front, so whether you're walking over like me or driving in, it's convenient either way. If you're ever craving a smoothie or a quick fresh bite, this is definitely a solid stop. Happy eats!
