I would say this is the best Mediterranean food I ever tried compared to all the expensive or local chains. The service was very fast and the food was really good. I ordered a bread on side and it was the best pita bread I had. It came out of Owen hot and very good, and the individual components for shawarma were very good. They put pickle in between and the chicken was very good in quantity, it was wrapped in the pita which was freshly prepared. The overall experience was very good for food. I would definitely visit this place next time if I pass this town as a detour. read more

This place is buried off the street in a complex near the heart of the university. I ordered in advance; it was a place you could eat inside or outside at, but nothing fancy and I was on the go so I was happy with my decision. The falafel wrap yielded a fairly tubular creation; adding hummus made it a bit messy as drippage would occur. The flavors were mild, but I did enjoy the hint of carmelization on the bread. I was a bit surprised that there were no fries on their limited menu; maybe that's fair enough to wherever they're from but falafel and fries is just such a classic combination to me. Regardless, a good meal but not the best one of this sort I've had in Charlottesville. read more

Dropped by on a Monday evening and it was pretty empty. I ordered the chicken rice bowl (added falafels) and the desert mix. Guy behind the counter was very friendly but forgot the falafel, I was full anyway but when I mentioned it he quickly reimbursed them. That was really nice! The food is quick and delicious. read more

Salad had iceberg lettuce instead of more other traditional greens. Lamb wrap was overloaded with sauce and the two thin strips of meat added no flavor to the over abundance of bland vegetables. Not even an average taste Lebanon. read more

I'm visiting from Los Angeles and came in to try this place. I ordered the spicy beef flatbread. I thought it was going to be like a pizza but turns out its like a wrap. The flavor profile was amazing. I loved the meal. Some nuances I think could be better is, I was at the counter waiting to be tended to and no one came or acknowledged me for a while. It was awkward. They were there but not saying anything. And they served the wrap on a sheet of paper on top of the plastic tray thats used to carry food. I think a plate would be a nice touch. Otherwise delicious food. read more

Quality price and great flavors. Got the chicken shawarma and my mouth was bursting with joy. The workers recognized my dad from the other day and had great chit chat. Very clean and there were some games in the corner that we played while we waited for the food (connect 4). Lovely vibes and yummy food! read more

I love surprise finds. The salads were fresh, homemade and generous portions. They also had super tasty flatbread wraps. Owner is friendly and kind. read more

My husband and I have occasional appointments with physicians associated with the University of Virginia -- and enjoy trying out new (to us!) restaurants while in Charlottesville. This visit was to Thyme & Company, a Lebanese restaurant. SERVICE (rating: 5/5). Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the gentleman at the counter, who directed our attention to the menu board on the wall, and offered his assistance if we weren't familiar with Lebanese food. We already knew most of the items, but there were a few new things (freekeh; fattoush salad) for us to try. We put in our order, grabbed some (free) water from a container on the counter, and sat at one of the large picnic-style tables. The food arrived quickly, and the server was friendly. FOOD, which we shared (4/5, on average). My husband ordered a Lamb Gyro ($12.99) from the Manousheh (Flatbread) menu. This featured lamb meat, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, onions, and tzatziki sauce on a homemade flatbread. We'd rate this 3/5. The bread was very tasty, but the fillings were rather skimpy at the $13 price point, and it didn't come with any sides. I ordered a Chicken Sharwarma Bowl ($10.99) from the Mezzanine Bowl menu. This was excellent, both in terms of taste and value (5/5). There was a lot of food -- the chicken sharwarma, your choice of rice or freekeh (a grain made from green durum wheat), your choice of fattoush salad or tabbouleh salad (or half and half of both salads), hummus, Lebanese pickles, pickled turnips, and a homemade garlic sauce. It was also served with a wedge of homemade bread (about 1/4 of the size of a full flatbread). Overall, we especially enjoyed the hummus, the homemade bread, and the freekeh. AMBIANCE. (3/5). The restaurant is relatively small, with a few oversized "picnic" tables with bench seating, and some stools along the window. My husband first sat at the EDGE of one of the benches -- to make it easier for others to share our table -- but the bench was unstable at the edge and he almost fell. The restaurant was clean, and a restroom was available. We would eat here again. read more

Best chicken swarma around. Good place for sandwiches and wraps. My son from Santa Fe loves this place. read more

DDD (Daddy Daughter Date) with great food -- specialize in flatbreads, salads, and bowls. Friendly owner assured us most of the menu was gluten free (no flatbread, no Taboulli). Plenty of indoor/outdoor spots to dine with complimentary wifi and restrooms if needed. Our food took a while but worth the wait. Lamb bowl was better than chicken bowl. Especially enjoyed the basmati rice which has hints of cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. So good! Falafel was pretty good, though finished behind Mr Schwarma's in Norfolk, VA! read more

I came here for lunch and got the lamb plate which came with a variety of delicious, healthy and filling items like hummus, brown rice, salad, pita cucumber sauce and lamb. I spoiled myself and got an assorted baklava for dessert. I loved how there were different shapes and filing. The customer service was amazing. The staff as very helpful, and kind. The seating inside is limited, with two large beaches, but there is also beaches for our door seating. Parking is very limited, however, there is a $3 parking structure right next door. Overall, the plate was a hearty, healthy portion that was very well priced, Customer Service amazing, and park at the parking structure. read more

Thyme & Co - Lamb Plate with Baklava - Mediterranean Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Wasn't sure what I was craving for dinner so I looked up "healthy food" and Thyme & Co popped up. Went in and got the Chicken Shawarma bowl.... Pros: - all the veggies in the bowl tasted fresh. - lots of good flavors in each bite. Cons: - for the price I'd hope for more food. I'm still hungry as I type this. - chicken was pretty dry. Overall: I think this place was good. Would I go back? I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but if I was nearby and wanted Lebanese food then I'd go and try their gyro bowl next. read more

Lamb Gyro Bowl: Not sure why more UVA students talk about this place in the corner because it definitely deserves some hype (might be because of its hidden-ish location). When my friend and I came in we were kinda browsing the menu and one of the workers asked us if it was our first time. He then kindly explained the menu to us and later gave us complementary lentil soups. I really enjoyed all the flavors in the lamb gyro bowl (you have the options of choosing fattoush or tabbouleh salad or half-n-half and the bowl is served with basmati rice. There was a good ratio of veggies to rice to meat. I wish they cut the meat than just giving it in slices, but the meat was good quality. Definitely will become a go-to lunch/causal place on the corner! read more

I tried this place last night and was pleasantly surprised it wasn't wasn't amazing but wasn't terrible either. I love Lebanese food so I have the tendency of being just a tad bit picky when it comes to now it's prepared. The falafel wrap alone with a side of garlic was $15 bucks which was a tad bit pricey imo. read more

They sure do make some nice flatbreads! This is a great little local place that will satisfy most of your Middle Eastern food cravings for a decent price. I ordered the labneh yogurt dip side, the lahmeh bi ajjine (lamb flatbread), Nutella manousheh (flatbread), and the baklava. They seem to get the baklava from a different place (Yara's Gourmet Mediterranean or something like that). The quality was okay. Price wise, it was good for the portion. But, I definitely would have liked more syrup and flavor to this baklava. 2.5/5 The labneh yogurt was my least favorite thing out of everything I ordered. It tasted a bit strange, unlike any other yogurt I have ever had. Almost like a plastic flavor to it. There was far too much oil in this as well. Portion was fine, but nothing exceptional. It was served with some complimentary pita bread. 2/5 The Nutella flatbread was unique and I'm definitely glad I tried it. The flavor was good, but there wasn't nearly enough Nutella stuffed inside. It was just a small spreading, and for the most expensive dessert they offer, I did expect more. The flatbread was fresh, though. 2.5/5 The lahmeh bi ajjine, though, was actuskly quite good. They had a decent amount of lamb stuffed inside this flatbread, which was quite tasty. However, I keep wanting to compare this to Samovar in Pittsburgh, which made less bready and more flavorful lamb ajjine for a cheaper price. So a solid 3.5/5. All in all, it's definitely nice to have this place in Charlottesville. It seems pretty new, so many they just have to work out the operations a little. Some items were a bit underwhelming, but nothing was bad (except maybe the labneh, that was just strange). read more

Came here recently and had a great falafel sandwich for lunch. It is made with fresh manousheh, a Lebanese flatbread baked on the premises. The sandwich also contains homemade tahini sauce, lettuce, pickled cucumbers, pickled turnips, tomatoes and fresh mint. Service was very efficient and the price was right. But, most importantly, the flavors were wonderful! read more

The restaurant is more of a to-go location, but there is indoor and outdoor seating if you're on the go. It is in a convenient spot near the corner. It is never that busy because it's kind of tucked away. There is a little bit of a wait for them to make the bowls, but they are very delicious! Been there twice on separate occasions. The hummus is flavorful, and there's a good selection of sauces. read more

Unbelievably generous portions! I had chicken shawarma bowl, the chicken was amazingly tender and the hummus super creamy. The other sides were great as well and the flavors all balanced perfectly. My husband had the lamb pita wrap. It was huge and loaded with good flavor. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the staff were cheerful and attentive. It's obviously a place geared to UVA students SO BASIC in appearance, 2 long picnic table and a few stools at the window bar. Ambiance aside, come here for the food and the service, I think you will be pleased. read more

Delicious lunch! My first time here and had the HALLOUMI bowl absolutely delicious! Generous portions. My friend had the falafel bowl said was slightly dry wish it had a tzatziki to go with. Very friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend for a filling delicious healthy lunch! read more

Was on the Corner and decided to stop by Thyme & Co for a quick lunch and ordered the Kafta Bowl. Overall the bowl was good but not great. The bowl was a good portion and I liked the variety of toppings that came with it. Definitely a light and healthy meal. I got half and half and enjoyed the freshness of the two salads. I will say that I would have liked the pita bread better if it was warmed up as it was a bit dry to eat. My kafta balls were good but one of the beef balls was still pink inside so I unfortunately wasn't able to eat that piece. read more

Delicious flatbreads and bowls, the flatbreads are made on site in a big oven. We had the falafel wrap and the halloumi bowl and they were both bright and flavorful, filling, and healthy! The hummus is really lemony. Don't forget to get some baklava it's really good, read more

Thyme & Co is a relatively new addition to the Charlottesville corner food scene, and I was excited to finally give it a try. I got the beef shawarma wrap, which was around $10. It was a nice balance of meat to vegetables (I find some shawarma to be a little meat heavy) and the tzatziki sauce was flavorful and creamy. However, the wrap as a whole a little salty for my tastes, and I found it a bit pricey for the amount of food. Regardless, the service was very fast, and it's super easy to order online through Toast Tab Additionally, there is outdoor seating for the restaurant, which will be super nice in the spring days ahead. Overall it was a pretty good lunch, and a good spot to stop on the corner for a quick bite. read more

Ordered from Grubhub and this has to be one of the worst take-out meals we've had here in Cville. Not only did our side order of $5 hummus come with ONLY a half of a pita, but the shawarma wraps were completely lacking. My "chicken" shawarma had 5 pieces of frozen chicken strips and more sauce/pickles than anything else. The beef- don't get me started. One of the members of our party lived in Lebanon for a year and can honestly say this is the FARTHEST thing from Lebanese food one could order. Don't waste your time nor money. read more

This is our go-to middle eastern take out and we know our Arabic food!! For starters, love the hummus! Their bread is fresh and delicious and I can eat tons. Kind of expensive for extra bread (again because I can eat a ton), but since it's fresh it doesn't stop me. The cheese bread and meat bread - have to get them both - they should be your appetizer. They will not at all disappoint!!! The tabbouleh is so crisp and fresh, love the fresh mint in it. Love love love. Not soggy!!! Now to our mains. Love the beef sharwarma more than the chicken. But loveeee the spicy chicken! The sauce is another level. It's so creamy and the spice is a nice touch. We also always get the kifta meal. It is the perfect plate of a little bit of everything and I love the freakeh! This is our standing order, yes we order a lot, and yes it's worth it! It is our favorite weeknight takeout. It's fresh and does not feel guilty! read more

My wife and I recently moved to the area. We were looking to explore eateries in Charlottesville, so we tried Thyme & CO. It took us a bit to locate the store according to GPS, but when we found it, it was worth it. The atmosphere is casual and clean. The food was fresh, well seasoned and very tasty with quick courteous service with follow up service after we received our food. The falafel was delish! read more

Delicious. Big menu with many can't go wrong options. The portions were pretty big. We loved the spicy chicken and the bacon flatbread sandwiches, as well as the Greek salad (full order is quite big), beef shawarma bowl, and Nutella on flatbread dessert. Seriously can't go wrong here. Food is fast, fresh, and delicious. read more

A great option for a quick lunch near the Corner. The falafel manousheh was delicious, without being too heavy! It has a good balance of pickled veggies paired with fresh baked bread, and actually filled me up without feeling stuffed. I do think the prices are a little steep for a lunch wrap, and it looked like the bowl options are maybe more worth the money. read more

The food is delicious and fresh. I absolutely love the garlic whip. The hummus is amazing. I also love the bread.

I thought this place was good, not great. It's convenient for UVA students because it's right on the corner. The sandwich I got was pretty small, and I was just thinking I could get so much more food somewhere else for the same price. The sandwich itself was pretty good, nothing life changing. I wouldn't go out of my way to get this food again, but if the opportunity presented itself I guess I'd get it read more

This place is tucked behind the "main drag," but it is more than worth it to take the few steps to find it. I had the lamb bowl, my husband the chicken sshwarma, and our friend had the falafel bowe. We also had a cheese and herb flatbread. EVERYTHING was SO good. I am sad that we're leaving Charlottesville tomorrow and, because it's Sunday, the restaurant is closed. I would definitely go back again. This was seriously authentic, homemade Mediterranean food. read more
