Three of us came for lunch today. The water was off in Chagrin Falls where our office is located so that led us to try a place outside of the village.
We were seated promptly when we entered at about 12:30. The place was pretty empty. The dessert display was quite tempting looking. We did not try it on this visit, mostly due to time.
The server was very prompt with menus and drinks, and offered hummus as an appetizer which we declined. We took our time reviewing the very extensive menu. Decided to order three pitza varieties to share and a spinach feta pastry to share. Pitza bc it's a pizza made on a pita. Prices were good with pitza at $7.75 each if I recall. We waited.... and waited..... a looooooong time. I mean, a very looooooooooooong time. Almost an hour. Not good for a workday lunch! We were one of only two tables waiting for food too, so have to wonder if anyone was working the kitchen... but then finally our food arrived and looked delicious.
If only it had been hot. Disappointingly it was barely warm. Like it had all been sitting for a while. After waiting forever, in an almost empty restaurant. No idea why...
The beef shawarma pitza was ok. Beef was tender. Yogurt tahini sauce was nice. Nothing special. The Ali baba pitza was better. Flavors worked. But again it was not hot. The chicken curry pitza was the star. Delicious sweet honey mustard sauce, though a bit too much of it, complemented the curry chicken and crispy fried onions. This would be worth a return visit ... if it had been warm. The spinach thing was meh. Not flaky as expected , the thick heavy layers of dough killed it.
I would be willing to try this place again for the chicken curry pitza and possibly dessert if they get their kitchen issues fixed so that food is served promptly and hot. The three stars is generous due to the nice server and potential to improve.
