Wow! I saw all the rave reviews, and still, I was amazed at how delicious the food was. A friend wanted to take me out for dinner for my birthday, and I'd been wanting to try Crossroads. First, the people who work there are so nice and patient. I didn't fully understand how it worked, but they patiently explained the process. They have something that looks like a buffet, but they call it a showcase. When you see it in person, you realize that it is only open in one side - not something you can dish up for yourself. You have two choices: order off the menu or select items that you want from the showcase. We did the latter. They explained each item and offered us to taste anything we wanted to try. I got lamb chunks and curry chicken. Rice and two sides came with it. I got lentils and broccoli and mushrooms plus an extra side of vegetables. They dish up whatever you ask for, and they give you a good portion of everything. My friend got the lamb shank and one of the chicken dishes (maybe the curry, too), one of the salads, and something else I don't remember. There were two different kinds of rice, at least 4-5 salads, and maybe 6 different sides. I had the rice with chickpeas. They also had couscous. They even have sandwiches. They make the food fresh every day, but it isn't always the same items. The flavors are so phenomenal!! I hadn't had lamb in a very long time, and it was spectacular! The curry chicken was not spicy but very flavorful. I'm already excited to go there again. There are only two 4-person tables inside, but several people came in to get carry out. For little Sebring, I was shocked to have such high-quality Mediterranean food. Try it! You...
Read moreFirst and foremost, I had authentic Mediterranean food and Arabic food when I was deployed back in 2015/16 and I haven’t been able to taste anything that compares since eating here. I wanted to try as much as I could before making a review.
I am not much of a salad person but the salads here are SO GOOD. And the dressing makes it all the much better. I understand why there’s almost none when I come. It’s just that good. The Baba ganoush tasted exactly like the kind I had in Jordan - perfectly seasoned. I like how there is a variety of things and how they give you samples. It allows me to try new things I’ve never considered trying like lamb. I really like how the meats are seasoned really good. I don’t like coconut at all but the sweet coconut chicken is AMAZING!!! So good that when I had my mom taste, she googled a recipe to make at home. Although her was very good, it didn’t compare!!! The deserts are so decadent. And the chicken shawarmas are sooooo good. Better than the ones I had in the Middle East (the same for the baklava). wish I could bottle the sauce the put on it. The plates are big enough for left overs and they give you a great size serving.
The restaurant its self is always so clean and in order. You can smell the food outside before you walk in. The staff is so nice and friendly and make me feel welcomed every time. The take care and consideration into providing you great service. I love how they offer a military discount. I wish them continued success with...
Read more2024-09-17 Google review- A couple of months ago during a scenic Orlando-Miami road trip, my wife and I discovered this gem of a restaurant. We saw a lot of take out from nearby medical office and hospital staff which confirms very good food and reasonable prices. Granted, the food is not your regular cup of tea, but it is simply delicious. No alcohol, however what seems to be a beer bottle is is a delicious malt based beverage. We were offered sample tastings and opted for the buffet combination platter with a Lentil (wow, wow, wow) soup. My wife selected lamb and who knows what I ate but is was simply spectacular. We are of Cuban origin, different from this culture, and were pleasantly surprised by not only the food but these very warm and friendly people. Well in truth, we home 45 minutes after our plan arrival time but we enjoyed ourselves and still cherish this memory. Go for the adventure to visit Crossroads and enjoy this unforgettable experience. Next time we are in the area we for...
