I stopped in here on a Sunday around 4pm, looking for a light and somewhat healthy meal to go with a nice day of walking and exercise.
I picked the falafel hummus, and the shawarma fries, figured I'd try both! I'm not an expert on falafel, in-fact I've only had it 4 times. This was the best though. The outside was crunchy, and the inside soft and moist. In the past falafel has kinda broken apart when eaten, but even bit in half it maintains its shape. The fries smelled great, and were a good ratio of crispy outside to soft inside.
The food was great, I really enjoyed it. I do have some comments though.
1: Getting both was about $20. This is a fair price I feel, but it was too much for me to eat as a single person dining. I would have loved if they did a fries combo with a smaller portion of fries as an addition to the falafel. Either that, or offer smaller portions as an option for $1-$2 cheaper. I would have paid ~$15 after tax for half portions of both as an option. As it stands now, I'll wait to come back with a friends.
2: I'm not entirely sure how to eat the falafel hummus, I'm new to this style of food, but 1 pita bread didn't seem like enough. I think 2 pieces would have been perfect. I ended up using the fries to pick up the extra hummus, and eating some with a fork.
Service is quick, food is good, but I'm going to wait to come back with a friend to split the food since it's slightly too much for a mid-day meal/late lunch. That's not a complaint really, I could have packed it to go, I'm just trying to be a bit conscious of how much I eat at a...
Read moreMe and a few friends decided to head across town and dine at Mia’s Meals yesterday…what a memorable experience. I had the falafel pita, sabich, shawarma fries, and even tried the tahini shake, all of which were fresh and satisfying. One of my favorite parts of the experience was admiring the machinery within the restaurant. They utilize an automatic falafel machine and a foot-operated drinking fountain…both of which I’d never seen before! The simplicity of the machinery and menu interestingly enough lended to a quiet and peaceful dining experience. It showed me that all that’s needed for a nice dining experience is great conversation, food made with love, and a calming ambiance (the mint tones throughout the restaurant promoted feelings of relaxation). Getting back to the basics yesterday felt like a reset. I am very thankful for the opportunity to dine with them, and I look forward to returning to try the...
Read moreWe came to this place based on reviews. The place is nice and clean. However, the food is very mediocre at the best. We ordered falafel bowls and falafel in pita and fries. The fries supposed to be shawarma flavored. Well, it seems like they added some seasonings to the fries, but it still tasted like unflavored fries. Tahini sauce that came with the fries was very thin and tasted like nothing. Also the amount of sauce that was given looked like a sample.
Falafel was dry, very bland and very small in size. Humus unfortunately was lacking any flavor as well.
We did enjoy the most from pita bread and pickles. Unfortunately these two were the best part of the meal.
For the prices that place charge, I expected much more. We left the place and we didn’t enjoy the food at all.
Unfortunately I can’t recommend this place right now unless the flavor profile...
