Holy falafel!
I wandered into Sumac during lunch hour as the restaurant was only a quick walk from my office and I was craving Middle Eastern - specifically a falafel filled pita.
The first impression of the restaurant was a good one. The decor and ambiance is open, airy and welcoming and employees are incredibly friendly. I can't say much for a dining experience as my order was for take-out but Sumac is on our list of places to dine at in the near future.
It was easy to tell that they were undergoing a lunch rush but all orders were handled courteously and with a smile. I ordered the falafel pita (if you couldn't tell already) which came up to about $9.00 and a reasonable wait time for the time of day. Now $9.00 is reasonable for lunch but still more than what a falafel pita would cost at your nearest Boustan's or Amir - but after the first bite you'll find out why. Sumac JAM PACKS the pita full of falafel. I was actually taken a back at how much they managed to pack into one pita. And they were able to season and flavour the ingredients to my taste buds' satisfaction.
I've been raving about this experience for some time now and can't wait to return for a full dining experience.
