    Pretty solid Mediterranean food with a simple menu and simple selection of sides. Good choice if you're passing through the area

    Falafel sandwiches with grape leaves, lentil salad, Greek salad, and tabouleh.
    Kyja W.

    My boyfriend and I were craving Mediterranean food yesterday. I did some Yelp and Google searching and came across a spot we have driven past several times this week. After seeing the great reviews on here, we decided to stop in and see what it was all about! Upon stepping inside, we entered a stylish yet casual room with lots of blue accents. There were 3 men behind the counter, at work. We were greeted and asked if this was our first time, and were thence given recommendations. After considering our options, our eyes glancing across the big wall with menu items, we made our decisions. We each ordered a falafel sandwich, mine with spicy sauce and his without. We decided to each pick two different sides so we could share them. We got grape leaves, lentil salad, Greek salad, and tabouleh. Everything was so fresh and flavorful! Another customer was raving to the staff about the falafel being the best in Atlanta, and I have to say not only was she right, but I'd take it a step further and say it's the best, period! I can't recall ever having a better falafel. It was perfectly crunchy on the outside but soft and moist on the inside. The sides were all delicious too. Can't wait to come back and try more!

    Beef/lamb shawarma with baba ghanouj

    I was really hopeful for this place since it's on my way home and I love Mediterranean food. I got the beef/lamb shawarma wrap with a side of baba ghanouj. The man behind the counter was not friendly. I actually felt unwelcome and considered leaving. I had a long day at work and had nothing at home to eat so I hoped the food would make up for it. It didn't. The baba ghanouj was good, but the pita given for it was stale. The wrap was so bland. I actually threw away half bc it just was so disappointing and didn't taste like any shawarma I've ever had. I couldn't force myself to eat it. Will def not go back!

    The food was so good! Service wasn't that great, but the food was great! Don't judge a book by its cover lol. I ordered a lamb shawarma, chicken salad, and hummus. *the shawarma was awesome, I loved it until I was done with it. Very flavorful and loved the shredded lettuce lol. The hummus was pretty good and the chicken salad was really good. I love grapes in my chicken salad . Everything had so much taste. 8.5/10 - the pita wasn't so great after 12 min of driving back.

    Came by here for the first time to grab lunch. Came back for dinner the same day! That should tell you everything you need to know haha. The owner and staff were very kind, the food was great, and the prices were fair. Some of the best falafels I've ever had, and honestly everything tasted great and fresh. This is def my new favorite Mediterranean spot.

    Absolutely incredible. Got the lamb and beef gyro with a side of hummus. Felt fresh and healthy. Great customer service and got the food out to me quickly

    Rolls, hummus, tomato salad, grape leaves!

The menu said there was no red sauce, but I didn't think there was no sauce period. Apparently instead of a sauce, the base was cheese so it was a thick layer. I loved it! Very unique. The meat lovers was super meaty. I wasn't in the mood for meat so this pick wasn't for me. It was still good. Don't get me wrong about it. The boys really seemed to like it. You definitely get a bang for your buck with tons of meat on this pizza: pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, hamburger. I was surprised that the village salad was pretty tasty despite not having any greens. It was a well balanced dish. And not being a vegetable fan, I really dug this.

I even got some baklava to finish off my meal and it was perfect. The staff was also so pleasant! The food runners and our server came to checkup on us very often and made the effort to engage in conversation with us which I found so so kind! The restaurant itself is located at the end of a short strip and very easy to find. It's also pretty big! The quality service and vibes were great and I would definitely return.

    I have a love/hate relationship with this place. It's close to me, but if it wasn't I don't know if…read moreI'd visit. The service has always been really great, and the owner is genuinely nice and always ready for a pleasant conversation. But sometimes the food comes out... average at best? I really only come here when I have the taste for mediterranean fare but don't feel like cooking it since it's so nearby. There are some things they do well. I like their baba ganoush, hummus, and beet salad. But other things are a bit lackluster and the meats can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's dry, other times it's succulent. The pita is toasted, but you can surely tell it isn't made fresh. My husband is obsessed with wings and even he said the wings served here are a BIG no. Also cannot recommend the fries, as they've been notoriously dry and cold. Perhaps we should not have expected good wings given that it's primarily mediterranean fare lol. The parking situation is also abysmal. They share a really small lot and the individual spots are poorly marked. This place is off of Briarcliff and the traffic is notorious for being bad, so that makes coming and going that much harder in a lot that's already a little treacherous. When the parking lot is full, it is like playing 2-ton Tetris. I'll also note that the hours can sometimes be a suggestion, and they unexpectedly close earlier than indicated (but will leave a handwritten note). This place seems to be a local favorite. The prices are nice. I just wish it was more reliable with taste and quality.
