Most of their business is take out although there is room for maybe four people to sit at two counters. The owner was super friendly and accommodating. I asked him to make me a vegetarian plate of mixed salads and falafel while I moved my car. (The lot behind the restaurant doesn't belong to them and you'll get towed!) The pita, humus, babaganoush, papas bravos, and pickled turnips were very good. The standouts: 1. the lightest, airiest falafel I've ever had. If I knew felafel could be this good, I'd order it more often. 2. Rice with cardamum pods. Why have I never had cardmum in rice before? I've eaten at literally dozens of Middle Eastern restaurants, and this was a first. It was a new taste and absolutely raised the bar on the rice. Finally It's about Thyme was a bargain. I think I paid C$15 for an overflowing plate of food plus a bottle of water. The portion was so generous that I took it home and ate the leftovers for lunch the following day. And here's a lagniappe: the restaurant is across the street from the Salem Chapel British Methodist Episcopal Church where Harriet Tubman was a member. St. Catherarines, Ontario was one of the end points for the Underground Railroad.

I absolutely love the hummus and eggplant speciality plate, falafel, speciality rice, and rakakat bi jibneh. Everything is good quality and the servers are working hard.

Added the fries to that order and were about $20 bucks. The wraps were not good. The falafels were RE-fried. They did not even have Tahini as a topping. My first in a Mediterranean outlet where Tahini is not offered. The Hummus was so dry, the server actually had press it to spread. It seemed not fresh. The fries were good and they get a star for that. Money spent better elsewhere.

Ok this is a serious and objective review. I ordered the chicken wrap and five piece falafel…read moreThe wrap is a Lebanese Saj type flat bread, and the chicken is very moist and packed with flavour. Toppings were fresh and balanced. The whole thing has an authentic flavour that reminds me of early 90's middle eastern restaurants. I would give it a solid 4 out of 5. A 5 is not possible. There is no perfect wrap. This one is exceptional. The falafel was equally wonderful. Made with chick peas and not fava. Simply seasoned and fried to absolute perfection. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The tahini dipping sauce is complex with hints of mint (never had that in a tahini ever) very very nice. And asked for a garlic dipping sauce which was pretty standard but very nice. 4.5 out of 5 Overall this is a hidden gem in the world of Osmow's and Shawarma on every corner, this spot is a hit.

The server nearly spilled the soup over us while putting the tray on the table, but that didn't stop him from serving the rest of the trays the same way!!! Meza plate used to have bigger portions, but half of the bowls were empty this time. For entrée, we ordered "Mixed BBQ" with fries and pita bread. Pita breads were too crunchy and not soft at all. Chicken pieces seemed old! Beef skewers and kafta pieces were good.
