| - Gypsy Cafe has a really different atmosphere for a restaurant. The tables seem out of place because you walk in and would expect this place to be something else. But, it does make the restaurant a little more homey with a cool personality. I think of it as a rich person's huge living room with a bar along the back, lots of artwork around, and neat decorations to set the Mediterranean tone.
The food is ok. I've been twice and both times I've been satisfied but not blown away. It's nothing I would remember and rave about a week later, but it's enough for me to enjoy it at the time. I had the Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Gnocchi, which had a delicious, mushy texture. After a few bites, I could really taste the Pumpkin and Sweet Potato in each piece. I did enjoy it. The serving size is not very big, but enough for me. I tasted the other dishes on my table - the hummus platter was decent. The garlic hummus was my favorite, the pumpkin hummus was fun to try but not very tasty, and the lemon hummus was eh. The Ajvar was good too, kind of like an eggplant salsa.
All in all, I think their menu is promising, but the food itself leaves a lot to be desired. Still, it seems like a popular place for those people who have found it in its tucked-away location.
