    Chicken & Gyro/Lamb BOWL
    Jessica G.

    The food was great. I love that you can customize your bowl to your preferences. There's variety. It all tasted very delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is in a small but nice plaza and there's a lot of seating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was fresh, clean, and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fast and she was nice.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Simple and Fresh! That is the best description I can give to this Mediterranean spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My girl and I went here for lunch; [[HIGHLIGHT]]we walked in and the ambiance is super clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fresh smell of ingredients immediately swift my nose.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chipotle/subway style bar that you choose your ingredients is really efficient. The servers are accommodating and suggested us what to try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The experience of dinning in is pretty good for starters.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My girl and I ordered their Pita wrap where they are famous for, hence their name. Their ingredients taste super fresh and its affordable, as well. Nowadays, these quality wraps cost almost $20, but in here you can get less than that. Their wrap have balance flavor in it, so its not too overwhelming and ease you out in every bite. Overall, I'll go here again whenever I have a chance :)

    Okay Bellflower! Why I didn't came back sooner?? I came back to my old town and found this restaurant. Want Mediterranean flavor? This is your call! This restaurant is being here already a year probably... I walk in and I was greeted by the owner, Cecilia. I told her it was my first time there and I started tasting the lamb and chicken meat, it was bomb! I always struggle finding good Mediterranean food and healthy food choices! This restaurant met my expectations with fresh, well seasoned food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very clean, wheelchair accessible and has a QR code menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are a bit high but, but! I don't mind spending a little bit more for something healthier and home made food taste. I am giving a four because the plate could have a bigger side of meat and I love all sides but I feel the plate could be filled with more of what I got, other than that , I am sure I will return to the restaurant!

    Chicken wrap with everything!

    Always fresh, made to order and delicious. I eat here at least twice a week. Service is super fast & friendly. Love the wraps, pitas and salads with chicken. (Tip: add the carrots & jalapeno cilantro dressing!)

    Chicken BOWL
    Paul F.

    The rice was cooked perfectly, and the sauces tied everything together without overpowering the bowl. The pickled onions and cabbage added the perfect crunch and balance, while the feta and creamy sauce gave it a rich finish. Even the pita was warm and fresh. You can tell real care went into this dish, fresh ingredients, great portions, and amazing flavor combinations. Easily one of the best bowls I've had in a long time. The chimichurri sauce is delicious as well with the other sauces. I would want to try to gyro beef instead of the chicken next time. Customer service was great come support this new business. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super clean environment well take care of thank you![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Everything here was super dry. Really dry...
    Louis P.

    Ok late post from February work lunch I had earlier this year. Reading all the good reviews thinking maybe I just had a bad experience? Anywho, came in go the bowl 2 proteins. Dry. Like reaaally dry. It was pretty bad. Veggies tastes like they been sitting on the warming tray for a minute. Came in around noon-ish so doesnt make sense to me. Gyro meat was dry, grilled veggiesnwere dry, hummus was mid, sauce was good. Staff was nice, mentioned was my first time there and offered suggestions. Def willing to give it a other try, maybe caught them on an off day. I dunno.

    Chicken & Falafel BOWL
    Mariella S.

    This had to be the yummiest meal i've had in a long time. i got the bowl with chicken and falafel, i've never been the biggest falafel fan but this might have changed my mind. The serving size was really good for the price, and it feels like a healthy meal overall! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ordered pick up so I can't say much about the inside of the restaurant but I did see they had good amount of seating available and the girl who gave us our order seemed very nice![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] :)

    Food was fresh and delicious! Service was prompt and graceful. It was brunch time with Gemi and I was starving! This spot is gonna be a local gem

    Build your own bowl, with chicken yummm
    Mayra F.

    OK I'm so impressed! Finally a good Mediterranean place on this side of town :') everything is so flavorful and you build it as you wish! Cava who? I'm def coming back to try more things. The price is also great for the huge portion you get. Highly recommend this place! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the veggies were crisp and fresh, the rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the sauces are a great finish for an explosion of flavors that go so well together! Yummmssss

    The bowl with chicken
    Mari H.

    Glad I picked this spot to order my lunch from. This will definitely be on my rotation. I ordered the bowl with chicken. It was very tasty. I also ordered a side of hummus. Wow the hummus is so good...I could not stop eating it!

    Fantastic bowl. No rice & mixed up. Yum!

    OMG. Delicious, Homemade, Healthy, Fermented REAL food! My 1st time here, so I mistakenly got too many toppings. Usually eating out, you must add more sauce & cheese for flavor, but not here! Next time, I will get it just the way it comes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean beautiful dining area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent service & they can list their short ingredients list. Food the way Mom & God designed! No seed oils used--only olive oil. A lot of meat in the bowls!

    This is one of my go-to places during lunch. Staff is very nice and they give you a lot of meet. My pita is always stuffed. Food is delicious too. I like the beef gyro.

    Pita Bowl with Gyro (lamb and beef mix)
    Nancy A.

    The bowl is simple but I feel very healthy eating this. The portions are not outrageous but just right for a nice lunch. The gyro meat is very flavorful too (I like the chimichurri sauce).

    Chicken bowl with everything but pickled cucumbers and jalapeño

    We stopped by here on a weekday because it was one of the dog-friendly restaurants near Rosie's Dog…read moreBeach. They have multiple outside seating areas where you can sit with your doggo. Ambiance (5/5): Although we didn't sit inside, it was super cute, with classy boho vibes. The restroom was clean and well-decorated (although, not gonna lie, I don't know how I felt about the big mirror facing the toilet). The outside patio area was airy, and although right by the street, I didn't find it unpleasant. Service (3/5): It was just so-so. They sat us down quickly, gave us our menus and checked on us maybe twice. It wasn't super busy, but we had to wait to ask for things like extra plates and water for our dog. Food Overall (5/5): Food was delicious. We got the beef shawarma lunch special and got fries for the side (extra charge) and also the chicken shawarma lunch special with the hummus side. Beef Shawarma (4/5): It had a nice toasty flavor, perhaps from the spices, and the pickled veggies really complemented it. My only complaint was that I wish it had a bit more of the white sauce (maybe adding more hummus would have helped). It was also strangely a bit watery, maybe from the veggies. Overall, it was still a yummy wrap. Chicken Shawarma (5/5): The chicken shawarma tasted more balanced to me overall. I don't recall the meat being dry, although I did also slather it with a bit of hummus. I thoroughly enjoyed this wrap. Fries side (5/5): Their fries are made in house and it tastes so fresh. It was crispy on the outside yet still gooey and moist on the inside. I'm not sure if they make their own ketchup too, as it looked clumpier and tasted really fresh too. The kids gobbled this up. Hummus and pita (5/5): It came with a generous amount of both hummus and pita. The hummus was well flavored and blended, and it really complemented everything on the table. The pocket pita bread was not what I had in mind (I'm used to thicker ones), but the kids really loved it overall. Ice cream (4.5/5): We ordered two scoops from the dessert menu. They were both really thick, creamy and almost chewy like liquidized mochi. It was a very interesting texture but nonetheless a nice tasty treat on a hot day. I much preferred the vanilla bean, as the pistachio tasted and looked rather artificial (and I'm a pistachio ice cream lover). This place had so many to-go orders during the afternoon we were there. I can see why. Food is super fresh and tasty. I think we will be back the next time we are visiting.

    The Lebanese food was perfect. The Shawarma had the perfect amount of seasoning, the hummus was…read moredelicious, and the salad was amazing! The shawerma had great quality and wasn't over seasoned. The waitress was so sweet and charged my phone because it was dying! The ambience is really cute and quiet!
