| - preeeetty disappointing across the board.
we got the: vegetarian combo (hommos, tabbouleh, baba ghannouj, falafel, spinach pie, grape leaves, and potato harra), beef shwarma, basmati rice, and baklava. here's a breakdown of (most of) the items:
- hommos: 2.5/5; too much tahini and not enough garlic? it was just off. the consistency was fine--creamy and slightly thin--but the taste... mehhhhh.
- tabbouleh: 2.5/5; parsley wasn't chopped into small enough pieces and not enough zing (lemon? spices?). it was like eating stems of parsley covered with olive oil.
- beef shwarma: 1/5; dry, bland, dry, tough, did i mention dry?
- falafel: 2.5/5; bland, dry... to me, a great falafel is crisp on the outside and dense yet fluffy inside. the falafel here was just hard on the outside and crummy (and crumb-y) on the inside.
- potato harra: 3.5/5; mediterranean home fries. tasty. especially relative to the rest of the meal.
- baklava: 4/5; pretty standard.
i don't know what to say. i was so excited to go, given its reviews, but this was hands-down the worst meal i've had in charlotte. even the pita was dry and brittle and not tasty. last, but not least, the prices are steep for the quality and type of food.
no me gusta.
