This place got a lot of Facebook buzz when it opened. People were like whaaat? So I had to try it, quite frankly because there is nowhere else in Oviedo that serves this kind of food that got on my Facebook radar. So I rolled up to the mall and saw what my options were.
The guys manning the joint were super nice. They explained their schtick and offered copious free samples. I ended up getting a sampler of dips with some pita bread triangles. I advise you now, ask for extra bread. The amount they gave me was honestly embarrassing.
But the dips were very good! The red lentil dip was a hummus-like concoction, big fan. The beetroot dip was good, too, a bright, earthy thing. And the carrot dip was my favorite. Smooth creamy yoghurt with carrot strings throughout and walnuts for an amazing crunch. Big fan.
I also tried a su-chi roll. These are fun little faux sushi rolls with a wide variety of ingredient options. I got the Chips Roll, which was like some lunch meat and some veggies all rolled up like sushi, and it was crusted with crushed up Doritos. Very fun.
I picked a dessert out of the dessert cabinet thing, too. Some sort of tres leches dessert cake bar. It was nice. No complaints.
Overall, five stars for an excellent small business trying to offer up something different in this sleepy little town. Now when I go to the mall, the decision on what to eat will be that much...
Read moreAmazing food. The savior from food court boring flavors. There is so much on the menu you must go multiple times to try it all. The staff let me try things to see if they pleased my palate and, boy! it all did. The pride and passion the staff have for sharing their culture permeates their level of service and interactions.
I settled on beef adana, and red lentil hummus. Adana came with a savory rice, red cabbage, lettuce, carrot vinaigrette salad, and a small portion of french fries. The contrasts in textures were great. Lentil humus came with pita chips fried perfectly to disintegrate into your mouth. I also liked dipping my fries in the hummus.
Once he put the garlic sauce on the beef, then it was heaven on a tray.
Filling, delicious.
Places like this are what make America Great! Fusion of flavors and sharing the best of cultures makes me filled with happiness.
Must Must Must come back...
Read moreI quickly stopped here after seeing a movie as I had read great reviews. I had already eaten so I opted for the mezze dip sampler platter. The two kind and helpful gentlemen let me sample each dip before picking four of them. All of them were fresh, flavorful, and delicious so it was hard choosing four. I got the red cabbage dip, the carrot dip, the potato salad, and the cracked wheat salad. Despite getting my food to go, the two gentlemen meticulously boxed my food and made the presentation amazing despite putting it in a to go box. I also tried a sample of their Su-Chi. It was such a pleasant experience and I can tell how much pride, love, and care is put into the food. I will definitely be back go to try the rest of the menu!...
