| - I'm no expert when it comes to Mediterranean food but nom nom!! The owners are always very nice and pleasant. The food always tastes fresh and yummy. The wife told us that her husband gets their olive oil from a very far away country (I totally forget where) and it takes a month to arrive- cray cray.. (okay so you caught me, I took a mental vacation the minute she expelled the details and was back to catch the end of it-oopsie for having A.D.D.)
So they have the three meat options: Chicken, Beef and Lamb, all on a huge skewer, cooker, rotater thing and the boyfriend always gets chicken wrap thing (don't know the technical correct term for it) and it comes with a small salad and rice (or fries). Whatever they use to cook that rice is absolutely tasty and delicious!! They also have skewers of meat.
baba ghanoush deserves a paragraph of it's own. HELLO!! So the first time we went, I ordered the hummus and inquired about the baba ghanoush (I had no idea what it was?!). The owner was nice enough to give us a little sample and to my surprise, I actually prefer the baba G over Hummus?! So super delicious!! And the Pita, ohhhhh the Pita, so warm, fresh and good- I could eat just the pita by itself! And for the price, you get a very generous serving and trust me, you'll love it! Now we order an extra side of pita because that bad boy doesn't stand a chance!
So Miss. Vegetarian over here gets the filafel. Sometimes I order it as a sandwich/wrap thing and sometimes I just get the balls plain with the rice and salad. There's absolutely no guilt eating here because everything tastes so darn fresh and good!! ...and we never order the french fries...
The last time we were there, we got stuck behind two other orders and it took a loooonnnnggg time.... but we weren't in a rush... and to be quite frank, we didn't mind much... and I'd rather have fresh cooked food (just like making it at home) and waiting....than frozen heated up food, or stale food for that matter. BUT I must put it into perspective, we would have waited just as long at Cheesecake Factory or some other large restaurant for our food... so what's the difference??? none. only love for this place.
So anywho, give this place a shot, I think they deserve a fighting chance in our neighborhood. Good, simple, healthy eats and genuinely nice owners behind that counter.
