I happened upon POTs while waiting for a smoothie from the little açaí bowl place in the parking lot. They had me wait behind the building for my order. To my unknowing benefit, the only spot open was right in front of POTs. The building and the name don't clue you into what's really inside. I had to google them to really figure out what was going one. But let me tell you, it's magical. Cute and quaint, little couches and a beautiful wall color. Their menu is bright and unique and full of delicious Egyptian inspired vegan and vegetarian options. After much deliberation, I ordered the cauliflower shawarma and pickled eggplant.
Shawarma - 5 stars. Full of flavor and different textures. The pita was soft and tender and the tangy yogurt sauce brought it all together. It was the perfect portion size and I the spices on the cauliflower. Currently craving it whil writing this review.
Eggplant - 4.5 stars. I'm only docking a half because there was nothing pickled about them. I got a lot of garlic and herb flavor but I was missing the acidity one is to expect from something labeled "pickled". I would say "marinated" is a better word. Nonetheless these things amazing. Packed with flavor. The texture was perfection and the fresh tomato sprinkled on top only made them better. I could eat a bucket full. And! They come with the most adorable little pita breads I have ever seen! I made a weird noise when I pulled them from the bag... haha
Overall, this place was fantastic. A real accidental treat. I will be back and I can't wait to try a dessert! They look amazinggg
