I have to laugh. I was prepared to initially give Zalabia a very low rating. When we entered, the…read moreplace was dead. A gentleman was standing in the kitchen, & he just looked at us with no greeting. We sat down, looked at a menu, & waited 7 minutes before he came out. Finally he appeared & we ordered the small chicken shawarma wraps. The gentleman replied we could not have chicken shawarma wraps today. I laughed & we ordered a beef shawarma wrap, a falafel wrap, & a side of baba ghanoush, & 2 waters. We sat for 23 minutes, lol. I told my wife this is turning into such a bad experience. Finally the man showed up with the wraps. I mentioned we also ordered waters & baba ghanoush. He seemed confused but brought them out. A moment later I sank my teeth into some of the most delicious beef shawarma I've ever had. The shop owner was from Egypt & his beef had been marinated in warm spices like cinnamon. It was unexpectedly excellent. Then I tried the baba ghanoush. Wow!! It was not the usual flavoring that I love. It was totally unique & also excellent. It also had a tiny bit of heat in it from a chile pepper. Finally, the falafel was way above average, tasting so great. Anyway, I was ready to give Zalabia one star, but it always comes down to the food. And the food was 5 stars.

They were both enjoyed tremendously Not a lot of wine and beer options, but it was perfect for what we ordered.

The exterior of the building was nothing to brag about, but the interior was neat, well laid out, and clean. The owners of the restaurant were up front to greet dinners. The waitress was prompt and attentive. Mirage features a lunch buffet, so I was able to sample small portions of a lot of offerrings. My first plate was filled with selections from the cold salad station (hummas, pita, Persan picket, baba ganosh, etc.). The entree station had four different rice (balas) preparations. There was Basmati rice, a savory rice and two of the balas were sweetened with fruit and spices. All were tasty. The proteins were primarily chicken selections, but there was a beef koobideh that was also delicious. There were a broad selection of lentil and vegetable stews, so I made multiple trips to the station eating them as a side dish to a protein, over basmati rice and savory rice preparations. It may have been a cultural fax paux, but I treated the falafel like a cornbread muffin as I enjoyed the stewed vegetables and lentils. It was a good meal polished off with a serving of baklava.

Little Gyro is moi fave Greek restaurant…read more The owner spent 28 years in France & is a fabulous French Chef & chocolatier. He makes his own Dubai Chocolates. They are so deliciously fabulous OuiOui. He makes a small square one & a large size heart shaped one. We adore the Heart shaped ones. We adore him, we just completely adore Little Gyro. We "heart you" Little Gyro OuiOui. All of his dishes are fabulous, have a french inspired twist. He even plays all French music in the cafe, which I adore & brews freshly made ice tea, which is also fabulous OuiOui. His Gyro is not your typical Gyro. It has the most fabulous lemony yogurt sauce that he makes himself. It's 2.Die.4! He even puts little chopped up pieces of pepperchini peppers on them, again, which I adore OuiOui. It's my most favorite Gyro on the planet. But that's not all he makes that is moi most favorite on the planet. His Greek Philly cheesesteak is also moi most favorite on the planet. I'm not sure why he calls it a Greek Philly, it should be called a French Philly cheesesteak. It's completely divine on the softest French roll. A MUST ORDER OuiOui. All my photos were on my old phone that blew up. I am just catching up loading lots mores. Lots & lots mores from Little Gyro. Added to moi lists of fave restaurants in the Tampa & St. Petersburg area. La vie en rose baby. OuiOui. Highest Recommendations.
