| - I'm sorry, but this food is not very good. I've never seen Yelp reviews so far off the mark.
In all fairness, I only ordered from the Mediterranean menu, so maybe the Italian dishes are the way to go. But I sampled 8 items, so I think I can write an educated review.
I ordered the lentil soup, because it was recommended over and over again in the Yelp reviews. Awful. You know how those State Street middle eastern restaurants smell? That's how this soup tastes. Over-seasoned, over-purreed (did not see an actual lentil), and stinky. Every person at my table mentioned the bad smell.
I moved onto the Mediterranean plate (the entree). Here's the breakdown:
- Tabouli: Inedible. Soaking in salt and vinegar, tasted like pickle juice.
- Grape leaves: Inedible. Tasted like tobacco!
- Baba Ganouj: Inedible. Not sure why. Just tasted awful.
- Falafel: Okay, but I've had better at the Great Dane. That tells you something.
- Hummus: Passable, but this cannot be the best in Madison (as the other reviews say). I can go into Whole Foods and blindly choose any hummus and it would be better.
- Tahini dip: No flavor! It literally tasted like water, if that makes any sense.
- Pita slices: Nothing special.
And at $13.95, it was overpriced as well. Should have been under ten bucks.
I've been a vegetarian for over half of my life, so these foods are not new to me.
Oh, the bread was good.
