| - Wow -- cheap, delicious, OK service, and upscale Arcadia vibe inside. I'm sold. I'm aware of the complaints of the Tempe location, so I'm on guard. Although it's newly opened, I will def. go back to try out some more.
*Cheap*
Dinner for two with an appetizer and drinks was $22.
*Delicious*
The food was was great. Cilantro jalapeno hummus? OMG. I'm starting to DROOL just thinking about it again!! Tangy and zesty, but not spicy enough for you wimps out there. And with grilled chicken and pine nuts?!? Yum. Beef and shawarma gyros were dependable and good. Lots of other choices I want to try next time, esp. the wraps, veggie burgers, pizza and spicy mango shrimp.
*OK service*
This one I will let slide since it is only their second week. Service was kind of sketchy. It was crowded and we were told in despair by the host to pick our own table in some kind of confused blather. Our server was cute and attentive, and quick. She easily accomodated a change in our order. It took a while to get place settings and menu, because, well, we were told to seat ourselves and our server wasn't aware of this. Hopefully the confusion will be corrected over time.
*Upscale hip Arcadia vibe*
Gorgeous gigantic dark-wood mirror frames the back wall of the strip mall joint. Open layout , with full length windows and small sleek dark-wood tables throughout with a handful of patio tables out front. Clientele of talkative (borderline loud) 30-something singles (some w. young kids) reflects the neighborhood. A bit more polished than the Tempe location, but still OK to dress casual.
