| - Thank You Erica.O and Praise to Allah that I finally found some Baklava worthy of the sacred journey through my Gullet.
Now onto the rest of my review, I met a friend for lunch, I started by ordering the Hummus and a Spanakopita (see pics)
The hummus was good, although I didn't get the the thick fresh pita I saw everyone else eating? I guess you have to ask for the good stuff, Newbie mistake #1, the pita I got wasn't too bad though.
The Spanakopita wasn't all that it, tasted too "green" not enough flavor of feta, and by microwaving it the flaky crust became unflaky and jut soft and chewy, not good.
I ordered the Vegetarian Combo she ordered the Shawarma plate (see pics) My plate had babaganoush, falafel (hiding under the tomato salad) Tabbouleh and 2 stuffed grape leaves served with a side of yogurt / tatziki sauce.
I thought everything was really good and tasted pretty fresh except the grape leaves, they were atrocious, the rice inside was unrecognizable, it was so overcooked it completely turned to a mushy paste, bummer, grape leaves are my favorite. ( I will make them for us Andrea, I Promise)
I wish I had more of their falafel I pretty much filled up on the tatziki, babaganoush and pita. Now I know what to get next time.
So our waiter come over and says "Since this is your first time, I'll take care of the bill, just take your ticket to the counter"
WOW~ Are you serious, how generous!!
We wait in line, give our ticket to the guy and he keeps asking us to pay???
Well Apparently there was a confusion of some sort, I don't know what the waiter meant by that, We though our lunch was going to be free.....it wasn't....but that's OK.
That's when I ordered my baklava, one piece.........I go to the car to eat it and went back in for 2 more pieces.....YUM!!
4 stars for the Baklava at least
