Inside the Allentown Farmers Market is this amazing gem called Foods of the Mediterranean. They offer dine in, take out, and a deli style counter service. They have food for all types of diets including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. Of course there is schwarma as well for those of you who are looking for a hearty meaty meal. Everything is clearly labeled as vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free so it's easy to get something without a substitute. I love their lunch menu and I like to get the pita platter with moussaka and a couple of sides from their deli counter (some of my favorites include the lentil soup, bulgar, and koushere). They have canned drinks and bottled water as well if you are eating in. When I am done with lunch I love to grab stuff to take home. I get a few containers of their different vegan options, because I'm vegan, and because they taste so good. They will let you sample the items too before buying them so you will know if you like it or not. There is also a hot section where they have spinach pies, and all kinds of other goodies that should be heated up before eating. If you have a restricted diets, are looking to eat healthier, or just want some fresh Mediterranean food then this is the place to go. They also offer catering and have coupons available if you go regularly. I highly recommend trying them out and becoming a...

With the platter, you get a choice of 2 sides (salads and/or dips), and we also ordered a Mezza Platter to be able to explore some more wonderful choices. All sides we tried, including the fried califlower, mediterranean tuna salad, and chicken salad, were just so crisp and addictive. We have a high bar for Baba Gannouj and Moussaka, and we were truly blown away. These were our favorites of the day, but we would be remised if we didn't mention the hummus was the best we have ever had. Just simply can't wait to go back for more!...
