We ordered our food at the register and waited less than 10 min to get our food. My falafel was absolutely delicious! I love falafel and eat it everywhere they have it and this one was my favorite! It's in a pressed pita bread and comes with some sort of sauce that almost makes this perfect sized sandwich creamy! My hubby had the chicken shawarma platter. As you can see in the pic, it was served with pita, salad and fries or rice. The chicken was so flavorful and delicious. We'll both return and share the love! Thank you!

Not to mention the sunset views! We were there on a cloudy rainy day but Armando showed us some gorgeous photos, making us want to pencil in another trip to Tarpon!

They were big, hearty chunks of meat that stayed juicy and tender, never dry. My top favorite was the babaganoush. This eggplant dip wasn't too sour, wasn't too salty, and that smoky undertone made it absolutely irresistible. We also ordered the Maklubk, a traditional dish featuring a fried half chicken served over a generous mound of rice. The chicken had beautifully crispy skin and well-seasoned. The rice was impressive-soft and aromatic, layered with eggplant, cauliflower, onion and potato. Truly unique. Portions were generous. We walked out with two boxes of leftovers. The service was good and the dining area was clean and comfortable. The dishes took about 25 minutes to arrive. But once the food hit the table, it was clear the kitchen wasn't cutting corners. The chef took his/her time, and it showed in every bite. We had a genuinely enjoyable experience here.

We ordered the lentil soup (big enough to share) and the Sampler Appetizer to start. As my entree I ordered the grilled chicken kabab with my two sides as salad and hummus. The server advised it would take about 30 minutes for our food to come out but idk why he said that because it really didn't. Shortly after our appetizers arrived and once we finished the apps, the entrees arrived. It felt no longer than any other dining experience that is on time. There was complimentary pita and a dip brought to our table and WOW. So good. The pita was so hot and fresh and fluffy while the olive oil in the dip..... you can just taste how it's not the olive oil you get at the grocery store. The red paste in the dip was a little spicy but very enjoyable. The lentil soup tasted homemade and the sampler appetizer plate had the best grape leaves I've ever had. The hummus was delicious but really, the baba ghanoush was my favorite I think. The eggplant tasted like smokey/ charred before being mixed up and wow. It was next level!! By the time my entree came I was practically full. But I had a little of my kababs and they were cooked and seasoned so, so well. I am enjoying my plate today and it still tastes just as great as last night. I will definitely be back here soon!!!
