Mr.

The Moussaka was an delight. Worth the trip by itself.

Pros: Most value, mix Message Player.5 items for variety, Cilantro Jalapeno Humus Dip. OMG, Owner is a delight to talk too!

Cons: Small table if you get a lot of food like me. , Nothing really. No Cons.

Delicious

Excuse me?! This is, by far, the best hummus I have ever had. Let me just say, my husband isn’t the biggest vegetarian in the world, but he was head-over-heels for this food. We had the moussaka and the mesa platter, all homemade with love, and it shows. Absolutely delicious!!

The Best!!!

Mostly vegan with a few vegetarian items. Also, mostly homemade by the owner. Everything very authentic, flavorful and well made. Their falafel is finished in an air fryer right before being served, so it is delicious & crispy without being oily. Absolutely perfect, just like everything else. The best Mediterranean food in the area. Will be back again.

The Best Mediterranean Food!

This place may be small, but they pack some powerful flavors in their foods. The proprietor is super nice and very accommodating. Go ahead the try the five or six different flavors of hummus. Great experience!

Pros:

The portion sizes are large. My wife and I usually split a wrap. You get a lot for the money.

Cons:

The restaurant is cozy, but you probably want to carry out and eat your food someplace with a bit more atmosphere.

Authentic Mediterranean

I wanted to a get a bit of everything so I tried the variety platter - had the Jalapeño cilantro hummus, mousaka, quinoa salad (yum), Fava bean salad, and falafel. I also got the Zaatar pie to try something new. It would probably be good warmed up. The pita comes as a pocket so you can put the ingredients from the platter inside and make a sandwich. Get an extra 1 or 2 pita.

Pros: Most stuff is vegan

A must

Looking around for some healthy choices and stumbled upon this place. Was best falafel and hummus I've had to date. Owners were friendly. If I lived here I would come often! Cilantro jalepeno hummus!

Loved all the hummus options!

Great hummus options, wraps are huge! Great seasonings on the wraps and delicious soup. Located in a strip mall and a little difficult to find with the GPS, but worth it!

Great food + Nice People

We stopped in for lunch and got the Jalapeño Cilantro Falafel and the Beet Hummus Falafel. Both were outstanding. The husband and wife owners run the place and couldn’t have been nicer.

Pros: Great food, Reasonably Prices , Great customer service.

Wish I lived closer...

I’d eat this every day!! Fresh ingredients, friendly staff and superbly delicious Mediterranean food. Fattoush, hummus, bean salad, spinach pie, zatar pie and fresh pita... everything was fantastic. Can’t wait to come back to try the falafel.

Pros: Vegan wonderland.

Cons: None.

Amazing food and wonderful people

If we lived in Tampa, we would be here all the time. We had dinner here to celebrate my graduation from college (after 29 years), and the owners were welcoming, helpful, and patient with my mom. On top of all of that, the food was delicious, comforting, and oh so satisfying. I should have gotten some baklava to take for graduation dessert, but there is always tomorrow, right?

Pros: So many delicious vegan things!, Friendly, welcoming, wonderful experience, Great value

Cons: Please move to my house!
