Definitely a good find. Freshly made hummus with 6 different varieties!! Enjoyed the original and cilantro jalapeno hummus. Got the veggie wrap with many veggie options and are so unique. 1 wrap is enough for 2 people in my opinion. Definitely coming backwhen need an authentic Mediterranean fix. The owner was very nice, warm and friendly.
This restaurant in Tampa serves the freshest and most delicious food. The owner prepares everything fresh and in a homemade style. My favorite dishes are the beet hummus, falafel, and grape leaves. I have enjoyed every menu item I have tried, as everything is absolutely delicious. This place is a hidden gem located near MacDill, Bayshore, and CAMP. It's perfect for a post-workout lunch or dinner. The portions are generous, so you can always save some for later. I would rate this restaurant a 12/10.
I was in south Tampa for work yesterday and decided to stop by this restaurant for a healthy vegan lunch. I ordered a 5-item mezze platter (salad, beets, falafel, babaganoush, cilantro hummus) and each dish was fresh and delicious. The falafel was air-fried to order, making it crispy and grease-free. The woman preparing and serving the food was very kind and offered to top my hummus and babaganoush with olive oil, which I happily accepted. By skipping the pita and opting for rice with lentils, it was easy to make the meal gluten-free. I dipped my falafel, beets, cucumbers, and tomatoes in the hummus and babaganoush to keep my platter gluten-free and it was delicious. I will definitely be returning the next time I need a quick lunch in south Tampa.
Absolutely fabulous little restaurant. Excellent customer service, amazing homemade recipes of traditional Mediterranean fare.
The food was fantastic, and the owner was extremely kind, gracious, and helpful. The majority of the menu is vegan, but the owner made sure to highlight the few non-vegan options. We will definitely return the next time we are in Tampa!
