I've been curiously circling this newest addition to the food court offerings at Garden State Plaza mall. The menu offers up Mediterranean fare, mainly in the form of pitas and sandwiches, and it's a welcome fresh face in a sea of Chinese takeout sameness. There's a decent amount of customization available, and the folks at the counter offered up promisingly tasty samples last night that convinced us to place our first full order. Taste-wise, things were great. The veggies were fresh, saucing levels were appropriate, and the falafels were nicely seasoned. My husband and I both got pitas, and we loved the way they grill-press them here to create such a crunchy exterior. This was both a plus and a minus - what we initially loved in texture became a bit of a workout for our jaws. My husband's chicken pita was, in his words, "super olive-y", and after I tried a bite, there was a super herby aftertaste that neither of us really cared for. The time it took to prepare our order made me think it was being freshly cooked, so I was surprised when the sandwich seemed lukewarm in temperature, almost leaning toward cold. One of my favorite things in a freshly made falafel pita is that contrast of temperatures between the fryer-fresh hot falafel and the cool toppings, so I was a little blue to miss that here. read more
