| - Its disappointing because I was really excited for this place but it ended up being very average. I'll break my review down into 3 different categories: Décor, Food, Service:
Décor - There is no question that the décor at East Meets Can is like no other. From the flooring to the beautiful frames filled with middle eastern pop culture, the décor is top notch. They even had "East Meets Can" labelled on all of the chairs, it was a definite beauty!
Food - My cousin and I wanted to order a few things so we could try a little bit of everything. We ordered: Fattoush salad, Haloumi Cheese, Pita & Hummus, Falafels, and the Chicken Shawarma Platter with rice. Let me break it down for you and add my commentary:
Fattoush salad - Too much salt and vinegar
Haloumi Cheese - Burnt
Pita and Hummus - Good, nothing great.
Falafel - Average
Chicken Shawarma Platter - Average and not enough rice
One thing I did like is that we were able to eat so many different foods for a low price, it wasn't that expensive. It's just the quality of food that was disappointing.
Service - Our waitress wasn't as helpful and friendly as we would like. However, the manager who was on duty - Saif, I believe was his name - was attending to everyone ensuring they were having a pleasant experience which was nice to see.
Overall, I'd go back again with my husband to see if our experience was just a one-time thing but the flavors in the food just weren't meeting my expectations.
