I’ve driven by a million times. Finally set out to try it with some friends. We settled on this restaurant for its high reviews. I wasn’t sure what to expect. But I was quite glad we stopped by!

They have great appetizers! I ordered an appetizer plate which consisted of Jerusalem salad, hummus, falafel, and basil labaneh. Vegetarian meals/food aren’t really my forte. But the meal left me delighted, and I didn’t miss meat at all! I’m always looking for tasty ways to introduce more veggies into my diet. Falafel: TO DATE, best falafel I’ve ever eaten! It had just the right texture: nice and crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Break it open and it lets out steam.🤤 I loved dipping the crunchy falafel into the tangy labaneh; or topping it with the light and refreshing tomatoes/cucumbers of the Jerusalem salad. Basil labaneh: the flavor was amazing! I took an olive oil tasting class once; they taught me that real olive oil should be peppery/spicy. Maybe it’s my imagination but the olive oil, in the crater of the labaneh, had the slightest hint of pungency. Either way, the olive oil tasted high quality, and I loved it! The BREAD though!!! It was also fantastic! Nice and chewy and soft! 😍 I was very impressed.

I decided to come back and try a tin plate since I loved the appetizers so much. I ordered the makhshi plate. It was good, but didn’t quite uphold my feelings for the appetizers. This time around I noticed they offer soursop juice! I’ve made it my next goal to tackle the grape leaves, and to try more tin plates. The falafel and labaneh were tasty enough to keep me coming back again and again; especially when I have a Greek craving, or when I want a delicious way to enjoy my daily vegetable intake. This restaurant is wonderful, and I can’t wait to help keep it in business.
