| - I spent two weeks in beautiful Phoenix at the end of Feb/ Beginning of March and work put me up in the Hilton Happy Valley Garden Inn. I was exhausted after my first day on the new job and didn't feel like going out, so I ordered some take out from the Mediterranean place next to the hotel. The owners and people who work there are all super sweet and the food... Oh man, is it delicious! My ex-husbands family is from Lebanon and all love to cook an eat, so I know what real Middle Eastern food should taste like, and I have to say, this is the real deal!
I have tried most of the menu and my top recommendations are Kibbeh (seriously, the best I've ever had. You MUST try it!), tabbouleh (also made to perfection), the Vegetarian platter #1 with the delicious Spinach Pie, Falafel (flavorful and moist on the inside, cripsy on the outside with perfect texture), the very best Hummus I have ever tasted (and I have tasted so much hummus), pita and a delicious tahini with onion and spices mixed in. The Pistachio Baklava is amazing too, but I don't recommend trying it because you will dream about it and have to fight the urge to order it daily.
-Great Food
-Very reasonably priced
-Very generous portions
-FriendlyService
My only negative feedback is that they close at 7, so there were days I wanted to order take out, but didn't finish up at work in time to make it.
Now I want Kibbeh and Tabooli from Olive Tree but I'm stuck here in rainy Washington. Boo!
