| - I set high expectations for this place due to my desire for great Mediterranean and the Mediterranean food that I've eaten in the past paired with the phenomenal reviews and ratings I've read and heard.
Don't get me wrong, food and experience was good and I'll be returning or considering it again in the future, but it won't be my go to spot or "gotta have it again tomorrow."
I ordered the falafel platter. One of my choice extras was a Mediterranean salad- which was quite tasty, but was disappointed in the size. I was expecting a side salad portion, but in reality it was a to-go side in the meal container...so probably 5 small to medium bites. For my second option my choices were baba ghanoush (eggplant) or hummus. I opted for the baba, when I opened the platter I assumed they just gave me hummus because it was the consistency and color of hummus, but didn't taste like baba or hummus.. So I'm not sure what that was. That item was my least favorite. Now to the falafel! It was quite good. I enjoyed the seasoning and flavors, perhaps I tasted some mint. Very enjoyable! It came accompanied by some pita bread.
I also asked when ordering to make sure the yogurt cucumber sauce was in the platter on the falafel, they insured that it was included. No such sauce.. And that sauce is my fav. There was some tahini, which was good.
My co-worker ordered the grape leaves appetizer. They were presented well and she liked them.
Customer service and timeliness was excellent. Wassim rang up my order, no extra surprises. The bill matched what was quoted on the phone when I placed the order for pick-up. They are open until 9pm. It is close to my job. The restaurant is set-up cafe style. Bathroom was clean and stocked.
For any interested, they are currently hiring. Seek within.
