| - So, I'm mixed about this place.
It's a perfect lunch spot--relatively quick, healthy and conveniently located in Dilworth. However, it's a tad overpriced for what you get, which I assume can be attributed to the location and rent.
They have a decent menu of salads, pita wraps, entrees, appetizers, etc. including lunch special combos that are all about $9-$15. If you want just a pita wrap with no sides it's $7.50 and only available until about 5 pm. I opted for the two kabob and two side special which after tax, tip and no drink was about $13. A little expensive for a casual place and to think that I could go to Savor or 300 East instead and spend the same thing is a little disconcerting.
Price aside, the food was pretty good. I got two chicken kabobs with Omar's salad and falafel. The portions were ok, and I was just full after finishing my plate. For $13 though, I could have gotten 2 meals out of a lunch place elsewhere.
The falafel and tahini was my favorite part of the meal. They were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The salad had a little too much oil for my liking and spread all over the plate making my chicken soggy.
The chicken was decent, not as flavorful as I would have expected.
I was impressed with the beautiful presentation of the plates and with how fresh all the ingredients seemed to be. The service was just okay and it took longer than I would have liked to pay and get the checks, especially during a workday lunch.
I think I'll return to this place just because it is really the only decent lunch spot convenient in Dilworth that offers authentic Mediterranean fare.
