Well, isn't this a hidden secret? I say that because we discovered the food AND happy hour. We even did separate trips for each. Both are worth going to solo or combined. I am not even the biggest Mediterranean food fan. But, the wife talked me into going, and I was floored with the excellence. So I had the Pita Sando #3. You get three options for content. Let me first just say that the portions are luxuriously huge. Wife had the chicken harissa and loved it. We also shared the hummus. She did the vegetables, I did the delicious pita bread. Their open air cooler is WAY cold. Great staff. Counter service, and it seems easy accessible to go back up for the OTHER part. The Happy Hour. If ever in the area of this adorable street and aren't even hungry, just swing by. Great pricing. Wine is half priced, craft draft beer is $5 (varies), and Peroni's are $3.50. Definitely recommend, and see you there.

I have to add a brunch review, as it was our first time doing that here...

We had been here for the great lunch/dinner food, but found out they did breakfast too. What a great call. Counter-service, great vibe, indoor seating with a couple of outdoor seats. I am providing more pics on this review. I got the breakfast lamb, egg, and cheese sandwich, and wife had the breakfast bowl. We each loved our choice, and they were totally different styles. My sandwich was messy beyond all belief, but the awesome deliciousness overcame any problem of multiple napkins. I will be back for that particular item. It is counter service, and they have various bottled drinks. We got two kinds of kombucha (blackberry and strawberry basil I think?) and they were unique and delicious. We even got hummus to go since my wife loves it a LOT. They didn't have hot sauce during my visit, but they typically do. Neat little block to walk, and they leave dog treats outside, as an example of their attention to detail for customers. Don't forget that they have a happy hour with great drink specials too. They are two for two with my visits personally, and I will definitely be back. I highly recommend you stopping in, and see...

WOW! What a find! Happened to pop in on their opening night and my wife and i were blown away! We LOVE Safta, so we had high expectations knowing that Chef David came from there - and he did NOT disappoint! The harissa hummus is beautifully flavored but not too spicy, and OMG is it insanely smooth - it absolutely Rivals what he would make at Safta. We had the Rotisserie chicken with a side of Zhoug sauce ... it's a must try! The chicken is bomb. So tender and flavorful. Zhoug sauce? Its green, it is PACKED with flavor and some heat and makes a great addition to anything on the menu... I'll be ordering it every time we visit! The Mezze platter was a great wat to try all of the sides which were top notch. The beet salad was almost creamy, the orzo salad packed SO much flavor, The Baba ganoush was SSSOOO good, too! Everything rocked our palettes in the best ways possible and we cannot wait to come back. Make sure you try a Mediterranean mule when you go - they do have beer, wine and a full liquor license! Prices? I also wanted to mention the staff! The assistant manager made our beverages... he was also SO sweet when our kiddo was upset. On their opening night he took the time to get down on her level and try to make her laugh! Lena at the front counter was so nice and personable as well - all of the staff were helpful, smiley and on top of it! Even Chef David was on top of it - he was working the line all night, rushing back and forth to take care of everything back of the house. Even while doing all of that on opening night, when I went up to ask someone at the front counter for a take out container lid, I saw Chef finding what I had asked someone else for and giving it to her. In the midst of all that was going on, he was even paying attention to the guests at the counter. I see you Chef! KEEP IT UP! I have nothing to complain about, it was AMAZING. JUST GO. Welcome to the neighborhood, I can't wait to have more of this...
