    Make your own bowl.
    Kendra W.

    Never tried the mall location but wanted to. Happy to try the new Falmouth location. You must turn into the shopping center where Ocean State and Planet Fitness are (at the light). The first left is for the gas station and car wash, go to the stop sign then turn left. Lots of fresh options. We made our bowls though they have lots of premade options for you as well. There is a kiosk you can order from when you walk in but if you are like me, I look to look at the ingredients and add them. They were super helpful describing some of the tomato based dips I wasn't familiar with and offered me a sample of a picked turnip which was salty but yummy. To end we split some baklava. It was chocolate I believe or hazelnut maybe (couldn't tell) but it was incredible. My custom bowl had no rice: arugula, gyro meat, tzatziki, red pepper feta type dip, raw and pickled onions, cukes, pickled turnips, feta cheese, parsley and two dressings/sauces to top: lemon & olive oil and white garlic. Will definitely eat here again. They also have fries that they can add toppings to as well.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped by today around lunch and it was surprisingly empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got build your own bowls- which I love doing. Got mine with braised lamb. Everything was tasty and great variety of toppings. Definitely bang for your buck, I couldn't finish my bowl. Service was friendly and quick, [[HIGHLIGHT]]we ate outdoors even though it was sprinkling cause was was just a bit too chilly inside for us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There were people dining inside. Their drink line up is unique, and I love they have the nutrition because as interesting as I would have had to enjoy them, they would all be too sweet for me.

    Build a Kiddie Bowl With Falafel (4pcs)

    First timers So I got the kiddie bowl it was awesome and just the right size for me. Patty got the veggie Mazza BOWL and loved it also; the food so fresh and flavorful and the staff was very patient with us , first timers but will be back.[[HIGHLIGHT]]Place very clean and the help very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks Mohammed

    **Note that this is likely a temporary 3-star rating. I've been to their location at the Maine Mall and it was a much smoother experience.** The lines were long, constantly so. We were there from 5:30 to 7:30 for book club and the line ranged from 6 to as many as 20 people at times. The staff at the counter were lost when the head chef (or line supervisor?) wasn't right there keeping them focused and on track. There were a few catering orders that took him away a couple of times, and although he genuinely apologized for the disruption that caused, it was clear to me that he is the reason they are getting correct orders down the line and are able to keep the long lines moving. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience: this is cafeteria style, with bright lighting, set up well for take out but not dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We tried to hold book club there - 5 ladies around a 6-person high top - and we couldn't hear one another the ambient noise was so loud, and no other background noise, like music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment was a bit chaotic with children in their PJs (one who was laying on the table next to us), long lines, and the constant in and out of customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking was also chaotic with the nearby construction taking up a lot of the parking spaces and narrow lanes that made it difficult to have an SUV and a big pickup truck pass one another without risk of collision. In the end I ended up parking quite aways away, near Planet Fitness. Lastly, it is very confusing on how to enter the area where Jaffa is from the main road. They've put up some signage, and hopefully it will be more streamlined one the nearby construction is completed, but just added to the chaos. Food: food was good and reasonably priced, but I had way too much sauce on my chicken shawarma pita, and on the garlic fries. Made for a very messy meal. Those who got bowls or falafel pita fared better. I would like to see the chicken, beef and lamb roasting on a spit and shaved fresh to order like other similar restaurants I've visited in other cities/countries, and a beer selection, to improve the culinary experience. Bottom line - this is a great option if you live in the area and want to grab takeout for the family. Not a great option for a group of women looking to have book club. Also, it wasn't clear that the build your own bowl or pita is a starting price on the menu and that every choice adds to the cost. In other build-your-own establishments (think poke bowls or burritos) it's clear what the up-charges will be.

    Traditional Falafel Pita!
    Anna B.

    Fall in love with falafel! I had the falafel pita(wrap) you don't have to make any changes to make it vegan! It was awesome! I took out one ingredient I don't personally like and added an olive oil-lemon dressing, it was perfect! Stuffed grape leaves(dolmas) are a favorite of mine and they have them and they're great! I also had the tabbouleh and it's the only thing I wasn't crazy about. I also had a fresh squeezed lemonade, so good! I'm going to try a salad next time and smoothie. They have bowls too and many vegan sides! My non-vegan partner loves falafel and said it was the best he's had in Maine! He added tzatziki to his pita and adored the baklava! It's authentic Mediterranean food, made to order, fresh and the service is great! Options for carnivores, herbivores and anyone in between! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean, modern and relaxed environment![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Busy place-popular for a reason![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] New go to spot!

It's one of those restaurants that always feels like a special occasion without trying too hard. The cocktails are phenomenal. I almost always order an espresso martini, and I love that they switch it up with seasonal specials like the Gingerbread Espresso Martini around Christmas or the Tiramisu Martini. My husband is a big fan of their seasonal Negronis, and they're always creative and well-balanced. I usually can't resist ordering from the specials menu because they never disappoint. If you're looking for tried-and-true favorites, though, you can't go wrong with the chicken parm, carbonara, or the seared scallops. Every meal we've had has been outstanding. The atmosphere is another reason we keep coming back. During the day it's bright, warm, and welcoming, while in the evening it transforms into a cozy, intimate space that's perfect for a date night. The service is consistently excellent. Even on the rare occasion when you can tell a newer server is learning the ropes, the staff works together seamlessly to provide a great experience. You can tell they genuinely care about hospitality. Sicilian Table has become one of our favorite restaurants in Maine, and it's never let us down. Highly recommend!

This…read moretiny Middle Eastern eatery is a hidden gem located in Portland's busy Forest Ave neighborhood. My falafel wrap may be one of the best meals I've gotten in Portland, solely based on food-to-price ratio. The falafel was perfectly cooked, and the wrap was quite yummy. It came with these deep-fried "chips" (I'm sure they are something else) and a side of delicious hummus. I paid about $10 for the whole thing, including a soda. You just can't beat that. The menu was extensive and included a mix of sandwiches, salads, and plates. Would I go back to Mazzat? If I'm in the area, yes, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to make it there! In my opinion, this is more of a takeout spot. I did dine in, but the vibe is pretty much nonexistent -- a mix of about eight tables inside without much going on. All in all, I'm glad I tried it!

There are several tables to sit and dine in if that's your vibe. It was torture driving home with the delicious smells. Don't skip eating the pickled veggies, they're unique and delicious! The portions pack a punch for the price. Next time I'll dine in and enjoy everything hot and fresh without the wait. The desserts also looked really good, next time!

Don't, for heaven's sake, park on Forest Ave. With the lane-hopping speedsters it is too dangerous for you to exit from the driver's side.
