    I haven't found an enormous amount of Middle Eastern cuisine in Asheville, but this place brought…read morethe vibe. It's small and unassuming in a strip mall in West Asheville. My takeout was ready on time. While the falafel roll still might have been better fresh, I wanted something that I could plausibly eat several hours later on a mountain without a ton of restaurants nearby, and that choice worked out well. Many falafel rolls come with add-ons that I don't like, but the pickled turnip offering here was both flavorful and colorful. I also got their fries, drizzles with tahini and parsley, which is a good way to eat fries. A case of baked goods and a small market section of canned items were also available. There was certainly space to eat inside or out for someone without my travel schedule. It's also notable that in addition to the usual falafel, they offer ample vegan options as befits the Asheville community, including a house seitan and some other vegetable and fake meat options. I was happy with what I got, but the choice is always appreciated.

    Service and ambiance was successful. I got the Lamb & Beef Shawarma (consisting of mint cabbage…read moreslaw, pickles, toom, tomato, parsley and tarator) on a GF pita, but I got it Suzy's Way, meaning with the addition of fries and hot sauce combined with the other ingredients. The flavors were an absolutely beautiful Middle Eastern combo, and taking it Suzy's Way added a slight kick to the flavor. The pita was properly warmed as well. Overall, this is where to go if you've got a seriously empty stomach and are craving Middle Eastern cuisine.

    Met a friend here for brunch a couple weekends ago, and it was amazing! We arrived around 11am, and…read morethe parking lot was packed! We were seated in a booth near the corner, and it was a great place to visit and talk. I enjoyed the French toast with blueberries and a side of crispy bacon. Just delicious! My friend ordered an entree that had eggs, crab meat, and hash browns and raved about it as well. Service was very good - attentive but not hovering. Highly recommend Stoney Knob Cafe if you're in the area!

Made reservations a week in advance since it is popular & we were coming on a Saturday night. had to call to do this but the staff were quick with the booking. We were staying on the north side of Asheville a few minutes from downtown & this was a quick 12 drive to Weaverille. Place was packed when we arrived 10 mins early for our seating. We waited maybe 3 mins though & were in our booth.The vibe here is something else. Decor is eclectic but layout mimics the vintage diner that it resembles from the outside. Very casual but doesnt necessarily feel that way. Menu isnt extensive so you dont have to fret about too many choices which i personally like. We started off with the seasonal watermelon salad which my wife says is one of her favorite things shes had anywhere in recent memory. I had a side portion of the steak wedge salad. For mains i had the carolina shrimp & grits & my wife got the pot pie. Both were insanely rich & satisfying. Good portions & quality ingredients represented. Even though at this point we were stuffed we had to go for dessert & tried the omg peanut butter pie & the tiramisu. not surprisingly, both were excellent. Apparently they have a dedicated pastry chef who makes the desserts every morning. Service was really good here and my sister in law's friend who was working the bar came over and raved about being employed there which is good to hear. Cant find anything negative to say about this place & you'd be hard pressed to find anybody doing so online really either. Just a local joint serving good food in a fun environment. Highly recommend

I tracked them down at AB tech (schedule online). The truck may be small but it's mighty. And might cute. They offer a variety of middle eastern food- not a lot of options but in my opinion when a place has a speciality, they tend to do it better. And this place does it best. I opted for a falafel wrap and it might have been the best one I've ever had. The falafel and tahini was perfectly seasoned. The bread was some of the fluffiest bread ever. Perfect amount inside and in total. I'm not a fry girl but I'd make an exception for these folks. The price is very fair for some incredible plant based, delicious, homemade food. A win for us vegetarians (and those who just enjoy good food). Next time I'll remind myself to opt for no pickles- my mistake haha. Point is, there will def be a next time. Yum.

After a full morning of…read moresightseeing in the River Arts District, we stopped at Fig for something simple, but also had low expectations since the surrounding area seemed a bit touristy. We had the pup in tow so we were forced to sit outside on the patio where it was quite chilly. However, they offered us outdoor space heaters which kept us perfectly warm. Our server was super friendly and gave us great recommendations. I started with a cup of hot coffee but was quickly convinced to follow it up with a glass of red wine. I had to order the bolognese after recommendation from the server and it was fantastic. The pasta was al dente and the red sauce was tasty. I also tried the seasonal soup - the butternut squash, which was hearty and perfect on such a cold day. The egg salad sandwich was STACKED and topped with smoked salmon. Everything we tried was delicious - I'm sad to see they were impacted by Helene but hope to see them reopen soon!!

Not only was there a Greek place in town that seemed to have a high rating but I found that they had Avgolemeno Soup and you could have Tabbouleh as a side with a Gyro. I thought I had discovered a gem. I had not. The Avgolemeno soup is nothing like any other version I have tried. The lemon flavor was very very minimal, to the point that it had no meaningful impact on the flavor. There was also no rice or orzo in the soup, which was a first for me. The price of the soup, which I ordered on UberEats, was $9.50 and I felt the portion was small for such a price. Tabbouleh was equally disappointing. I hate to think that there are people who tried tabouleh for the first time here and think that's what Tabouleh is. No pop, no flavor. All the things I enjoy about tabbouleh were missing The Gyro was serviceable. The Tzatziki sauce was served on the side for some reason. The lamb meat had good flavor and while I wasn't sure if it came off a spit (I am leaning towards it didn't) it had a nice char on it that I enjoyed. I am leaving what I consider to be a generous 3-star rating.
