Pandemic review: early lunchtime 11:50AMAt first I was scared of the price because malls are known to be extra expensive but it came with more food than I expected.The lady was nice but seemed busy because she was the only one working the front.She said my order would be done in about 15 mins and it was done faster than expected.This business was not busy when I went there for lunch.There is indoor community seating for the food court (which is a big wide open space) with granite tables everywhere.Covered outdoor seating is available in "The Patio" area.The chicken plate was delicious.The chicken was cooked very hot but was still tender and juicy.They aren't scared to fill the container with rice.I'm disappointed it didn't come with hummus but I guess more and more Mediterranean places have been cutting cost making the inexpensive chickpea side.The tomato and chili were roasted very nice!!!! The underside of the chili was black. I could taste all the complex sugars in the tomato breaking down to make it sweet, and it was easy to cut with a fork while still having enough rigidity to have some structure to hold itself together with pieces of rice.The cucumber salad was decent.Light sour and oil taste to help balance out the savory meal.The flat bread was soft and warm :)Overall, this place exceeded my expectations.Good job.

Downside about this place was I found a hair in my fries. The salad was great chicken tasted amazing, juicy great flavor. cucumber salad was also good. Also around 20 for a salad is kind of unbelievable.

Horrible experience 30 min pass by and my order was still not done the only 2 employees that were so-pose to be working were just standing around not doing much. The cashier is so slow to take a order. When I approached the cashier to cancel my order she had no interest in finding out why she shrines her shoulders and ask the cook to approve and also the cook didn’t bother to ask was I canceling. You guys let the customer know what the actual wait is going to be for those like me who was on Lunch would know or choose another option.

Bad service cashier give bad service never buy anything from there they give me less chicken waiting time more them 49Minutes she call my number wrong

Delicious, fresh, authentic, great prices, friendly service. If ordering to take out, call in advance because orders are cooked as the order is received. It is located in the food court of the mall.

Best Mediterranean food. Call in ahead to order. Place is busy. So good.

I've been coming here for over 15 years. The chicken is always consistent, the white rice is delicious, and the Cucumber salad is out of this world.

The wait time is no good. Waited over 30 minutes for our food. The food is delicious.

Cashier tried to overcharge me. I bought over $70 worth of food and as soon as I put my card in price went up to $84 and I asked why it went up. She gave me no explanation, shook her head and removed whatever she added. I’m so confused on why I got that attitude from her.

They dont get enough credit but this place is top shelf food. Crave it once a week
