It’s exotic Mediterranean entrée choices you can customize any way you want. We were invited to stop in and sample a few items off of their menu. I chose to customize the steak shawarma bowl and customized it with lettuce and additional veggies. So, I added mixed greens, tomato and cucumber, onion, eggplant ragout, cauliflower and freshly made Tzatzii and Tahini sauce. it was so tasty and quite filling.
My husband is all about meet, so he selected the pomegranate chicken mixed with steak shawarma, which my children also enjoyed. For him, it was less veggies and double the meat.
With our meals, we sampled a side of split peas soup, which was rather tasty. Other sides include hummus and pita, and French fries.
There are a couple of options for the kids. My little ones are quite the picky eaters, so when they see mac n cheese on the menu, it’s a no brainer. My daughter LOVED that it came with a side of hummus and pita as well as little pita chips.
Children can also choose the chicken rice bowl or the cheese quesadilla. My little ones chose the pomegranate chicken to go with their rice, hummus and pita bites.
