Precursor, from out of town/state and have had reputable Mediterranean in a few larger cities but nothing considered “fancy”. They were at the same price point. Not to hassle a local restaurant but I think it’s fair to let people know who are passing through what my experience was. After moving back to the general vicinity/area of Casper, I get there can be protective followers for local businesses and I understand/support that. 1: Order: dolma, falafel balls, falafel plate, box meal; gyro with lamb/beef meat, Mediterranean salad, fries, tzatziki sauce, pistachio/walnut baklava. 2: dolma - this wasn’t bad but was rolled loose and had a strong vinegar flavor. 3: falafel balls - may as well been deep fried balled up white bread. 4: falafel plate - same as 3 above but served with fries that were fine and sliced tomato with sliced pickle from the jar. ?? 5: gyro with lamb/beef meat. If strung from end to end, not enough meat to cover the length of the naan bread. It enough meat to provide a review on its taste. 6: naan bread from the gyro and the side of naan that came with something, falafel balls? I get that it was a pickup order but no. That could have never been good. No taste, very rubbery and limp. I’ve had 4 day old Sams Club naan bread at home that was better. 7: tzatziki sauce - tasted like mayo with a sprinkle of dill. Could not eat it. 8: tahini - drenched the falafel balls in the tahini to add flavor. Just made it wet enough to swallow the 2 out of the 8 we got. 9: salad. Came with olive oil dressing that had an odd sweetness to it like sugar was added. Didn’t eat it due to flavor. 10: the traditional type of baklava was OK. I wouldn’t spend another $2.50 on it though based on the serving size. The chocolate baklava was not baklava. The pastry, texture and feel was all wrong. I have made my own baklava at home for a point of reference.
Perhaps it’s 4_5 stars to locals but if you are traveling through I would...
Read moreI was born on January 17, 1706, in Boston, Massachusetts, in a large family of seventeen siblings. My early years were marked by an insatiable curiosity, which led me to become an apprentice at my brother’s printing shop. This experience kindled my passion for writing, leading me to establish the Pennsylvania Gazette and Poor Richard’s Almanack, where I shared my philosophical musings and practical wisdom.
My journey was not confined to the world of printing and writing. I delved into the realms of science and innovation, making groundbreaking discoveries in electricity and inventing the lightning rod. My contributions to the founding of the first public lending library and the University of Pennsylvania reflect my commitment to education and public welfare.
My diplomatic ventures took me across the Atlantic, where I played a crucial role in securing French support for the American Revolution. As one of the authors of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution, I strove to lay the foundations of a nation built on the principles of liberty and justice.
My later years were dedicated to fostering the abolitionist movement and advocating for the abolition of slavery. I passed away on April 17, 1790, leaving behind a legacy of intellectual curiosity, scientific inquiry, and a profound commitment to the ideals of liberty and progress.
Benjamin Franklin’s life remains a testament to the power of relentless curiosity, innovation, and a relentless dedication to the...
Read moreWe've been dying for Mediterranean in Casper for years and our prayers to the cosmos were answered. We know Casper's palate is slowly appreciating more diverse cuisine, but we beg fellow Casperites to patronize Sweet Zoey's so they stick around AND expand to a full service dining establishment! We tried most of their menu tonight and everything from the manageesh (a flat bread Mediterranean cheese pizza, mmmmm) to the chicken fatira (double yum) and a chicken saj sandwich (double yum). We enjoyed Turkish coffee, some baba ganoush (like hummus, eaten with vegetables or pita chips; made with eggplant, yum), and finished with some exquisite baklava (chocolate and walnut/pistachio) subtly sweetened by honey. Truly the best baklava I've ever had and I'm a world cuisines foodie. If your cardiologist or doc or rheumatologist told you to eat Med, it's with good reason. There's a vast body of medical science saying this is healthy food that reduces inflammation and promotes heart health.
Bashir and Zoey (immigrants from Iraq) are friendly too and if you catch them alone, they have an interesting and unusual story to tell.
Casper, please let these two great people who've suffered as a result of ISIS but were grateful we removed Saddam widen your horizons and palate and patronize them so they can expand into a full service dining...
