I love mediterranean food. A lot. But for some reason I'd never quite found myself at the Phoenicia before today. A friend invited me, I was excited to try something new so we made a go of it.
I had the gyros pita, which was pretty good. Not the best ever, not the best in Phoenix metro. But it was still good. My friend went with the Lentil soup and the vegetarian platter (Tabouleh, Hummus and Babaganoush served with a generous pile of pita bread). I tried the hummus and babganoush and I'm more partial to Cafe Istanbul on both counts but to each their own.
The place was clean, I liked the yellow and purple tables a lot and the service was decent. They have fresh squeezed carrot juice which I enjoyed quite a bit. The water however was unfiltered tap water and awful in the way that all Tempe tap water is consistently awful.
