Chickpeas Mediterranean Cafe

This place is amazing! Real silverware for lunch! Generous and delicious lunch specials! I wish we had one in Miami! I’m sure you can’t find more healthier and tastier food in all of Vegas for the same price!

This is another hidden gem in Vegas! I am not sure if this is a family run business or not… but it feels like it is in the Best Way! They are all so friendly and welcoming that you want to come back for that reason alone. But don’t worry their food is also amazing and cooked right in front of you. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Mediterranean junkie or its your first time ever experiencing these delightful dishes, they take the time to explain everything to you. One of the nicest things they do, that 99% of restaurants don’t do, is serve you a complimentary drink and or salad while you’re waiting. They do this even when you order takeout. Top Notch Customer Service! Its a small, brand new restaurant, on the corner of a strip mall. Their meets aren’t dry or overcooked! They’re moist and flavorful. Their rice is always cooked to perfection and even the vegetables seem larger and fresher then most restaurants! Can’t find a single thing to say bad about the place. The only thing I wish they had was an outdoor fireplace or pit. It would be nice to be able to sit out on their patio when it’s cold.

Love this place. We come here at least two or three times out of the week. We just tried the meat lovers pizza and this is the first pizza that my family and I ate and didn’t lrave us feeling sick from all the cheese and grease after. The pizza left us satisfied and full. We will definitely order it again.

First time here… Ordered a beef wrap and it was SOOOOO delicious the meat was so tasty well seasoned… And their prices are affordable and it’s easy to locate corner of jones and w flamingo… They also do delivery with NO minimum haven’t tried doing delivery yet… But for sure I’ll be back to try the other ones^__^ it’s a must try so far one of the good Mediterranean place…

What a great find! The food is delicious. I had the Falafel plate, soo good! Very reasonable with a great menu. Next time I’m trying something like the salmon salad!

This place is amazing! Wonderful healthy options. Great ownership. I have special food needs and this place worked for me. Plenty of no sugar and no flour options!

I had a wonderful experience at Chickpeas, the food is great and the service was excellent! I would go again!

Had the ground chicken kabob dish. It was hard to eat it all. It had no flavor and it wasn’t cooked all the way. I had to throw half of it away couldn’t keep it down. I have to try something else if I ever decide to go back.

Cute place-​easy to access and plenty of parking cuz the strip mall used to be an Albertson’s that has since been closed. Portions are huge! An order would easily satisfy two people. Everything was fresh made to order and while you are waiting while they cook your order, you’re given a lovely house salad filled with tomatoes and cucumbers lately drizzled with olive oil and sesame oil (?)…yummy!
Recommend this cute corner for lunch or dinner. Either way-you’ll have leftovers to enjoy later.

Ok now! We moved here 6 months ago and we have seen Chickpeas from our morning walks on the other side of Jones Boulevard.
Today we went in for a late lunch and were struck by the crisp, enticing menu. The fattoush salad bowl with chicken shawarma is massive and tasty. My husband ate the shawarma plate and also liked it so much!
They even have my favorite fessendjoun too! I am excited to try the lunch specials as I work from home and I’m always trying to get out of the house to see the light of day and the smell of good food!
We were talking with our cashier at Albertsons’ on Tropicana and she mentioned that she noticed the restaurant staff shop there for fresh organic ingredients and she wants to go there as a result.
Looking very much forward to returning!
I have a half of the huge bowl for tomorrow. Yum!

If you’re hungry, this is a great place to go. Not only is their menu got a lot of choices, but their portion sizes are gigantic. Literally, the chicken schwarma bowl my gf got was three meals worth of food. The food itself is decent. Not the tastiest but also not bland. I tried a beef kabob which was okay. It really begged for more variety, but it is a relatively simple plate. It still came with a huge mound of rice.
The chicken schwarma was tasty when mixed with sauce and rice. They have very tender chicken but I’m not a huge fan of the rice style, but that might just be me.
The staff was friendly, but the service was honestly a bit slow. While the fresh salad was a good way to hold me over, I was getting a little impatient by the time we got our food. I’d say it was a good 15 minutes after the salads.
Prices here are very good for the amount of food received. I’ll definitely be back to try some of the more premium kabobs.

Simply delicious. Fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. I want to see more people in here and share this wonderful place with all of Vegas!

We stopped in to Chickpeas early on Saturday, for a light snack before disc golfing.
The inside is simple, and clean, although a bit confusing… with the counter set up, it has the feel of a fast food joint, but the tables and chairs, and actual plates/​silverwear give it a sit down restaurant feel.
We ordered the shawarma: falafel for me, chicken for my fella.
It came with a small, light salad; lettuce, cucumbers, and tomato tossed in a super light dressing: This was good. I don’t even like cucumbers and tomato, and I enjoyed this.
The sharwarma sandwich wraps are enormous! So much for eating light!
The falafel was absolutely perfect. Seasoned well, not greasy, very flavorful. The pita was great too!
Can I mention the chicken wrap? Because it is FULL of chicken. Unlike other places that skimp on meat, and fill the pita with lettuce, etc, this was CHICKEN. And its GOOD chicken too. Tender, juicy, cooked really well… A+!!
So, if the experience was so good, why not 5 stars? Well, service was polite, but I think we confused her… when ordering the shawarma sandwich, we wanted everything (hummus, tahini, garlic sauce, and the onions/​lettuce, etc) except baba ganoush.
We didn’t get any hummus, or tahini, or garlic sauce at all on the wrap.
It was still delicious, but we both REALLY wanted those things on the wrap.
We’ll be trying it again, for sure… I thought I saw that they deliver, so that definitely might have to happen!
All in all, it was a great first experience… just next time remember my hummus!

2.5 Stars…
Walking in and choosing a place to sit, I couldn’t help but notice that it is fairly unkept in here. Tables were a bit dirty and chairs were scattered about.
The service was friendly but didn’t seem to be familiar with the menu. As for the food, I ordered the chicken and beef kabobs– $ 18 for two kabobs, plain white rice (where’s the flavored rice?!) and grilled tomatoes. The flavors were OK. I don’t think I would come back though…

Our large family was really hungry and driving by, and we stopped here because it was close and had good reviews. Unilocalers are not always to be trusted in their reviews, but this place deserves the high marks.
We had the tabouli, shirazi, cucumber salads, baba ganouj, hummus, tzatziki, kash-​k-​bademjan, as part of two Mazza plates.
This was followed by several kabob dishes that we shared: ground beef, ground chicken, chicken breast, and filet of beef kabob.
All dishes were freshly prepared on the grill in front of our eyes. We ate heartily, and took home leftovers, as portions are large. The meats were all tender and juicy, even the chicken breast.
Starters all are made in house and fresh (we asked). Recipes are simple and authentic. Nothing tastes pre-​made or frozen here. We didn’t try the pizza, but they have a legit wood stone oven like I’ve seen in some high end restaurants.
The place is kept clean, not like the dingy middle eastern places I’m used to. The menu is displayed on large monitors, iPad based payment system that is modern.
I think Chick peas is worth the drive even if you don’t live on this side of town because they use fresh, high quality ingredients at a budget price. We’ll be back.

I’m a little mad at myself for not trying this spot sooner. It’s literally only five minutes away from me, and I kept postponing my visit. Today, wanted to try a different type of food other than Asian (which I LOVE so much!)
The moment you walk in, there are two servers waiting for someone to come in. Their customer service was a bit below average like one of those people who just wants a paycheck and leave right away. I felt the need to rush a little bit since they were staring at me. I didn’t really worry about service as much as they weren’t waitresses to begin with.
So the dining style is you order at the counter, and they deliver the food to you when it is ready. I’ve always had a problem with these type of restaurants because I’m so conflicted about whether my experience there is supposed to be a sit down restaurant or kind of like a fast food joint. Possibly a mix of both? The food was served in a heavy plate as if you were at a nice restaurant, but you had to get your own beverage. They have drink fountains as well as a jar of water for customers. The water part was also a self-​serve with ready water cups next to it.
The restaurant itself was clean and quite pretty. This is the part where I really wish that they got rid of the counter «fast-​food» vibe because I really do see a potential for good business here. That and perhaps the cashiers can make more money on tips which is nice, right?
Nevertheless, I order a #24 which the ground beef kabob. My friend got the beef fillet soltani kabob which was both delicious. It came with Bastami rice, deliciously grilled tomatoes, and onions. Along with the order is a side of beautifully made salad. The beef was delicious to taste as it wasn’t super chewy. The flavor was packed with spices, and a hint of salty, and I think eating with the side of grilled tomato and rice just seals the whole entrée. This meal is on the heavy side as you get two long kabobs, and they are VERY generous with their portions.
I would definitely come back here again if I was craving for some Mediterranean food. As for the café part, didn’t really feel the café vibe to this place. I was seriously under the impression that they really just made wanted the main entrees to pop. I might try the «café» part of this restaurant sometime!

Friends and I were craving kabob and when we typed it on Unilocaled this popped and what caught our eye of course what the five star rating.
When you walk inside, very beautiful, clean and modernize restaurant. Everything from the ceiling to the floors was very well decorated. Their menu is on tv screens and very easy to read and prices was decent.
I ordered the number 27 which was the Beef Filet Soltani Kabob. Whoa when the food arrived I was amazed of how much they serve you. It was totally worth every penny. They also gave us a side of their bread and every bite of our meal was perfect. The presentation of every of our meal was excellent.
We will be coming back again! Thank you to their friendly staff and quick service.

Mediterranean food is not cheap, so don’t come looking for a five dollar value meal. Having said that it is affordable. For example chicken shawarma sandwich is $ 6.95
What sets this place above the rest for me is the customer service. Friendly and polite. When the barista was gone and I wanted a cappuccino they offered me plain brewed coffee for free. Then when the barista returned I got the cappuccino also for free.
I ordered a tzatziki dip with pita. When I finished the pita and still had more dip left they offered more free pita. Then before I left the manager or owner came and asked if I would like to try a vegetarian dish called Kuku.
Wow. All this service. I will gladly be back

Officially open September 1^st, Chickpeas is the newest Mediterranean spot in Vegas. Food is fresh and flavorful, and there’s covered patio seating. Menu has all the usual favorites: shwarma, tabouli, hummus, pita. Meats are available as plates, sandwiches, or (allegedly) on salads. They also offer breakfast.
I was thrilled to see Oliviet (Russian potato salad) on the menu! Unfortunately they were out of it on my most recent visit. Menu has no clear appetizers section– cashier had some difficulty adding a small order of falafel, as the menu only offers it as a plate or sandwich. Ordering «Greek salad with chicken shwarma» got me a side salad and a shwarma wrap, which isn’t what I had in mind (salad topped with meat).
Ordering issues and new-​opening kinks aside, the space is clean and organized. The falafel is soft and flavorful inside, but could be a bit crisper on the outside. It came with an ample portion of tahini sauce. The greek salad was tasty (heads up that it’s pre-​dressed) and the veggies were fresh. The shwarma wrap was nicely seasoned, and had a good amount of tomatoes and red onion, and a generous portion of meat. Unfortunately, the pita itself was falling apart before we were halfway though, which got messy.

WOW! So glad I stopped in. Almost drove by this place and was not disappointed at all. So good, so fresh and perfectly healthy.
The place is fairly new from what I can tell but the staff was wonderful and attentive. Most importantly SHAWARMA WAS BOMB. Had a (*huge*) bowl (comes w rice and salad) half chicken and beef. Think I’m in super like with chicken but obsessed with the beef. All that for $ 8 and change. I’m terrified how big the plate size must be Also: the cucumber dip
This place is not to be missed! Check out the pics. Great for takeout or sit in. Looks like they also do breakfast, pizza, and kabobs can’t wait to have a cappuccino and to bring a friend next time. I’ll definitely be back!!!
