I made a reservation for party of 9 and when I showed up on time, restaurant owner conveniently decided to give the table another bigger party and told us they cannot do anything about it. Never going to organize my team lunches and I suggest all my teams at my company to do the same.

Pretty good for first time here.(3 stars=A-OK). Located in a heavily populated Asian center(same center as 99 Ranch, so parking can be hard to find and/or trickey, as it’s filled during peak hours) Called in order and gentleman was easy to talk with. He took our order and it was right when we picked up our dinner. We got the Marinated spicy baked chicken plate but I switched the fresh salad it comes with with Tabouleh. All plates come with main entrée of choice plus hummus, side house salad and halved pita bread pockets. Other plate was the Shawarma combo plate(lamb, chicken, beef) with hummus, side house salad and halved pita pockets. We also received little«to-go» plastic cups of super hot red chili relish-like sauce, a white herby thinish sauce and a yummy like thick yogurt garlicky sauce(sorry don’t know the names or what it goes on) Any one out there in Unilocal land, please educate me ! :) Also got a small eggplant dip(baba ghanoush) Just remember it didn’t come with pita chips(you’ll have to order alacarte, I think) FOOD: Spicy baked chicken quarter plate was very moist and cooked through. Marinated well too. Rice was also moist with a hint of spices/herbs(?). Hummus was a tad salty, but still tasty. And creamy. Tabouleh had way too much parsley, but lemony dressing was perfect. Shawarma was tasty, but chicken was brick dry. The rest was good. But way too many fresh onions. House salad in plate entrees was good but needed more dressing. Hmm unless those mystery sauces were the dressing :0. Baba ghanoush was absent of any visual eggplant. In the past, I’ve purchased from the Palo Alto farmers markets and it had a lot more eggplant throuout the dip. I wouldn’t order this again. Later on, maybe I’ll try their kebabs and falafels.

Terrible customer service. We were the only people in the restaurant, and it took 40 minutes to get our food. We only ordered 3 dishes. The staff seemed to be arguing in the back kitchen. Cute atmosphere, but it’s quiet and a little dead.

Love love love this place. I am here at least once a week, if not more. Food is very healthy and tasty! Service is exceptional, everyone is accommodating here. My favorite is the filet chicken, I also love the veggie skewers. Try the white garlic dip they have, it is amazing and pairs well with your meat! Be warned, You will have garlic breath for awhile though!

Been here several times since they opened. We have had dinner and lunches here. Dinner is much less crowded. Their dishes on the menu are well prepared. The place looks clean. The service is good, but you will need to learn where the cutlery is, the straws, the napkins, etc. because it is all self serve. We especially enjoyed the falafel wrap. Generous portion of freshly made falafels are wrapped in two pita breads. You can order it as spicy hot or as mild as you prefer. The prices are generally fair, however charging over $ 4 per little piece of baklava is higher than any other restaurant we know of that features that dessert. If you are in the 99 Ranch Market area, give Falafel Bite a try!

DELICIOUS!!! one word to describe the food here. I used to frequent their Sunnyvale/Santa Clara location — and ate there every time I got an opportunity to be in the Bay Area. The Milpitas new location maintains the same high standards in providing clean, fresh authentic food. I usually order Falafel wrap and have been from them for about a decade. Today I tried Falafel wrap with eggplant, it was amazingly good. The garlic fries are a must try, i love to eat them dipping each one in Tahini.

Upon walking in, you’d think that this is a to-go only place because there’s no tables and seating are some chairs along the wall. However, the cashier informed us first and foremost that we order there, and that there was a whole separate dining area. I peek around the doorway and indeed there was, with nice décor too. It looked like a whole different restaurant. After you order they give you a table marker and you’re free to choose your own seat. My boyfriend ordered the chicken kebab plate(12.50) and I got the acai bowl(~$ 7) with 2 scoops. One waiter was kind enough to come up to us and ask if we wanted the bowl after our meal or during, or if we needed an extra plate. Also brought out a small side salad and naan. The kebab plate came out after around 10 minutes and then another different waiter came out and brought my bowl. He apologized and said that they were out of granola, and said he gave me extra fruits and cashews instead. Kind of a bummer cause I love granola but I appreciate nonetheless~ The acai base itself was a little sweeter and icier than others I’ve have, I’d probably omit the honey drizzle next time cause it was a little too much for me. Ambience is nice but the room was quiet in both music and chatter, and kitchen noise is actually a little loud. Didn’t really notice it at first but once I did all I heard was what sounded like water spraying and cooking noises. Water and(free?) hot tea are self serve and kind of hidden on the side by the hallway to the bathrooms. It’s a little jarring to go to the restroom because it turns from nice, homey décor to a creepy, dimly lit, white floor, black wall type of hallway. Overall, friendly service and accommodating, food was good and had nice presentation~ If the plate was around $ 8 – 9 instead then maybe this place would be a weekly thing, but for now it will the occasional visit

Just as good as the Sunnyvale location that I’ve been there several times! This place seems fairly new and the inside is clean. You order at the front and grab a number and take a seat inside the dining room and the food runners will bring over your food. I’ve tried the Shwarma wrap several times at the Sunnyvale location, so i got the chicken Shwarma salad and beef/lamb Shwarma salad. Both were very delicious! Chicken is more tender than beef/lamb. We got a free pistachio baklava with our Unilocal check-in and my goodness, it was delicious! I’ve never tasted something so nutty and flavorful… I will definitely be back here again.

Just had a late lunch here and ummm… I think I found my new favorite go-to spot. I’ve been wanting to try this place but always get lured into H.I.T. next door for hot pot. Thank goodness HIT is closed or I wouldn’t have discovered this tastey place. This was my first time trying Mediterranean food as well(besides hummus). This was definitely a good first experience. I got the kabob plate. Orders come with a side salad and pita bread for the hummus. Very fulfilling. The acai bowl is delicious as well. I personally like their acai bowls better than the ones I’ve tried in Hawaii. Fresh carrot juice was also delicious !!!

Pros Falafel Balls: These particular falafels stood out since they incorporated sesame seeds in the outer coating giving it a crunchier texture. The falafel alone was good Lamb & Beef Shawarma: I love how each wrap comes with a hearty serving of meat wrapped with a warm and thin flatbread. There was some small and larger cuts of meat all in one. Portion sizes for the shawama wraps were huge and well worth the price. Chicken Shawarma: Again love the generous portions of the protein. Chicken was seasoned nicely but the creamy garlic sauce that’s used in the chicken shawarma wrap really topped it off. Service: The gentlemen behind the counter was very informative in explaining how their meats are prepared and carved. Cons: Acai Bowl: Unfortunately this was my least favorite acai bowl I’ve had to far. The acai sorbet tasted too icy versus smooth and creamy. I’m assuming they either used too much ice or it wasn’t blended enough.

I didn’t even know this place was here till last night! I don’t know how I missed it. I feel like last time I was in that plaza, Sushi Factory had only just closed. My family and I came here for dinner during the weekday. We were actually en route to Won Kee, a Chinese restaurant few doors down. However, I was intrigued and walked over to check it out before heading to Won Kee. My family decided to give this place a try instead. We ordered 4 meat plates. We got the Beef and Lamb Shawarma, Adana Plate(Mix of Beef and Lamb grounded up), Gyro Plate, and Chicken Kabob Plates. We also got a free piece of baklava for checking into Unilocal.The plates came with a small bowl of salad and pita bread. The Gyro plate was delicious! The meat was so soft and melted like butter in my mouth. The Lamb/Beef Shawarma wasn’t that good; the meat was tough and dry. The Adana was a bit dry but flavorful. The chicken was moist and tender. It was fine. The restaurant was pretty empty, but judging from the reviews on Unilocal,I assumed it’s more busy during lunch time. The food was decent and the price was appropriate. I liked the self serve drinks, complimentary tea, and self serve utensils. There was also free wifi available. Overall, I liked the place but I feel like I had better.

The food here is decent and the price is very reasonable. We came in on a Sunday night and they are one of the few dining establishments open till 10pm We ordered the chicken kebab plate $ 12(2 kebabs, rice which reminded me of rice’o’roni in some ways, salad, hummus, and pita. Price is very reasonable for the amount of food. Husband got the beef kebab for $ 13. Free self serve tea also available. The meat wasnt dry and seasoned fairly well. Overall, if youre looking for some kebabs in the area, this is solid and won’t break the bank account. Food isnt out of this world but will keep you satisfied if youre craving mediterranian food. Parking will probably be an issue if you come during lunch time but plently of parking if you visit any other time. 3 stars

Seemingly out of place at the McCarthy Asian plaza, this place is a gem! Went on a weekday with a friend. My rule of thumb is the more crowded a restaurant is, the higher my expectation. I wasn’t expecting much here. I’m so glad the rule didn’t apply in this case. I had the lamb + beef shawarma: the slight fattiness and juiciness to the minced meat really hit the spot. The baklava is what you expect: crispy, soft, and flavored with honey. For the hummus, I would prefer slightly more olive oil, but I’m being nit picky. The staff is very nice and professional overall. Overall would come again. If I’m ever at the plaza, it will be something I would seriously consider.

Came here for dinner and the place was nearly empty. Makes sense as the area is a magnet for the workday lunch crowds so can imagine it being busier during lunch hours. I wanted the try the same lamb wrap which I had a week before at their Sunnyvale branch and turns out the taste and quality are about the same. Only difference is with the baba ganoush as they only offer one size rather than two size options in Sunnyvale. So what the heck just eat more. it’s still delicious and one of my absolute favorite side dish. the restaurant has two front entrances. We see groups of people that just walked in to use the restroom and walked out after. I wonder if the place next door doesn’t have a bathroom so the patrons got redirected to Falafel Bites. It seemed kind a funny and nobody seemed to care. The big upside — You get a free baklava with first time Unilocal check-in! Their baklava is really good because it’s filled with pistachios only and no other filler nuts. Great as dessert after my meal!

Food here is pretty good but I think the portions are on the smaller side. Last time I was here, got a beef kabob wrap for nearly $ 10 after tax. Wrap was about 10 inches to a foot long but really skinny. I was not super hungry and was able to finish the entire wrap and still have room to get some milk tea after. I think they have a location in Sunnyvale and this location is new. In my opinion I think they should be trying to run some serious promotions to promote the new location. Last few times I came around dinner time the place was empty. There are a lot of food options in this plaza and would like to see this place stay because the food is pretty good. But for the price I think they should be giving out larger portions or throwing in a side salad with their wraps.

This restaurant is surrounded by many restaurants, most being Asian. It’s located across from Cisco’s big campus. For this plaza, this restaurant has 4-stars whereas the majority had 3, so this was my lunch spot. The place lacks any ambiance to speak of. It was a cold day and they weren’t too worried about heating the place. It was so cold their food server wore a parka. That was overkill but it was seriously cold inside, more so than outside. I ordered the Gyro lunch special, included a fountain drink plus a side of Baklava $ 17.70. High, CAHIGH. The over-pricing customers aside. Gyro: meat was on the excessively dry side and edges burnt, tomato were far from ripe, 3 lettuce hearts and little shredded lettuce, and the sauce was too thin. The steak fries were good. The Baklava a 3 out of 5, Ok at best. In my humble opinion this restaurant mirrors the rest in this area, i.e. Make as much profits off Cisco employees as possible, quality comes in 2nd. The place was clean overall. Service Ok. Prices high. Food average. It only deserves 3-Stars.

Soooo glad I found this place! I just finished eating here and I’m so happy with the experience, I just had to start writing. From walking in, this place kind of seems like a hole in wall. Minimal/basic décor but don’t let it fool you… the food is really tasty! The man who took our order at the counter was pretty knowledgable on the food, answering all q’s we had on dishes. My boyfriend and I both ordered the combo shawarma plate. Falafel bites with the sesame is different but a good kind of different. It wasn’t something I’m used to but still enjoyed it. The combo plate starts with a salad; the dressing was pretty light, tasty and earthy. Dinner portion– The rice is soo nice and fluffy and we were really happy with the flavor profiles of their hummus. The chicken shawarma is to diiiiiiie for– moist and flavorful! We kind of wish the beef wasn’t so well done but the flavors were still good. All in all… I’m most likely to come back!

I love their food so far anything that I’ve ordered here is good.(Chicken fillet, gyro wrap, chicken kabob plate, pistachio baklava and the regular baklava). I’m not really a fan of lamb but my husband did ordered it once and he said that he likes it. They serve generous portion of food. I like coming here lunch or dinner time. Their plates usually comes with hummus and salad not to mention a pita bread.

All in all tasty place with a tasty guilt-free dessert(acai bowl)! Falafel bite is tucked away in the 99 ranch plaza in Milpitas and it might be easy to look over it since it looks more like a lunch place because you order at the front and get your food delivered to you at your table. They offer free tea(cardamum with mint) and water if that’s your thing. Otherwise they have bottle lassi and soft drinks in a fridge next to the counter. The acai bowl is mentioned on a poster that isn’t in their normal menu and starts at about $ 7.50 for two scoops of acai sorbet. The star was definitely the mansaf, although it was interesting that they gave me a lamb shank dipped into a bowl of the yogurt sauce. The lamb for most part is very tender and gives way to a gentle push of the fork. The toasted almonds on the saffron rice just make the dish so tasty. This dish was definitely better in my opinion than the lamb kabob dish. This was my first acai bowl, and at first taste, it is uniquely flavored, but once you start going, it tastes better and better. The scoops of acai sorbet are topped with shredded coconut, blueberries, and sliced bananas and strawberries. Very tasty treat with little guilt! I’m docking a star because of the long wait(15 – 20 min), a somewhat high price despite the atmosphere and serving style, and finally because we were given our acai bowl before any of our other food. Why would we eat dessert first? Food is tasty, but I think I’d stick with dish dash grill if I really wanted solid mediterranean.

Good Mediterranean food at reasonable prices! Things I’ve gotten here so far: — acai bowl: The acai is a lot more firm than what you usually see. It’s a bit more firm than the consistency of soft serve, which I like. They charge by the scoop, with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, granola, and honey as toppings. Not bad! 2 scoops(shown in picture) came out to be ~$ 8. — lamb shwarma: Good flavor, not too dry. The rice it came with was tasty too. — lamb mansaf: I wasn’t sure what this was, but what I got was definitely not what I was expecting! Regardless, it was awesome. The dish is basically a HUGE leg of lamb stewed in a creamy yogurt based sauce with almonds. The lamb is super tender and juicy, and the meat falls right off the bone. It is served with a side of rice. I had no idea what I was ordering when I ordered it, but no regrets! –falafel: I’m not a big fan of falafels in general, but these were good! A bit on the soft side, I prefer if the outer shell is a bit more crispy. — baklava: this is complimentary if you check in on Unilocal and order a minimum of $ 7. You have the choice between pistachio and walnut, I got the pistachio. Theirs is a bit on the dry side. I probably wouldn’t pay for it, but free is always good! Also, the owner of the restaurant is an amazing person! When I came here for the first time, I had just got my braces off. I did what anyone with retainers have probably done at least once– took it out before I started eating, and wrapped it up in a napkin. I realized my mistake about 20 minutes after leaving the restaurant. I rushed back, and asked the staff if they might have picked it up. They haven’t, so I asked if I can go dig through the kitchen trash can. The workers in the kitchen shrugged and handed me a pair of gloves. Halfway through my digging, the owner walks in and asked what happened. She then proceeds to put on a pair of gloves to help me look, even though I insisted that she did not have to do that. There were 2 large trash cans, so I went through one while she went through another. A couple minutes later, she asks, «didn’t you say you had the lamb mansaf for lunch?» I DID! She found the huge lamb leg bone, and lo and behold, my wrapped up retainers were right next to it! Thank you for helping me look! She saved me two trips to the ortho + a $ 200 retainer replacement fee :)

Dined here with the Huz for linner/dunch one lovely Saturday afternoon after spending a couple hours shopping and working up an appetite. Huge dining space. Free baklava with $ 7 purchase and check-in on Unilocal!I love little perks like that :) I had the Spicy Chicken Plate(?) but it wasn’t spicy, good flavor though. Hubby had the Combo Plate with a skewer of chicken and beef. We ordered the falafels to share along with a salad. Food was good and we’d be back :) Glad to see more Mediterranean options popping up in Milpitas/North San Jose rather than the usual Mexican/Asian spots, lol.

Mansaf! Leg of lamb cooked in a yogurt sauce with almonds and rice. A Jordanian dish that you dont see much of in the bay area. There used to be a a Jordanian guy in San Mateo but he closed shop years ago. I think Holy Land in Santa Clara makes it and that’s it. Now there’s a 2nd option. Look past the kababs and shwarma, etc. go for the Mansaf, it’s worth it

I was super glad that another Mediterranean restaurant opened up. Mediterranean food is one of my favorites and I couldn’t wait to try it. I ordered at the cash register, got a number placard, and found a table to sit down. The ambiance is very nice, as the place is nicely spacious and open, with nice décor. I got the Veggie Combo Plate which came with 4 falafels, 2 dolmas, hummus, baba ghannouj, tabouleh, and turnips. I also showed them my Unilocal check in and got to choose either a walnut or pistachio baklava. Having never tried a walnut one, I chose that one to try! When my food arrived, they were brought complementary pita bread. The falafels were hot and crisp on the inside, but still moist. I also really liked the hummus, as it was creamy and smooth and flavorful. I wiped it all up with that yummy pita. The walnut baklava was also delicious! It was flaky and chock full of walnuts, and oozed with just the right amount of honey. Another unique thing is that they also have acai bowls! I’ve always wanted to try one and finally got the chance to. The one time I went though, they ran out of bananas, and the cashier told us that he would add more of the other fruits if I didn’t mind. When we got the acai, it came in a clear, plastic container, and was nicely covered with sliced strawberries, blueberries, granola, and honey. The acai was thick and dense, like a sorbet, which I loved cuz I’m the type of person who likes smoothies/drinks the consistency of ice cream. I also got to use my Unilocal check in again and tried the pistachio baklava. Since I went pretty late, around 8:30 pm, I expected the baklava to maybe be not as fresh as during the day. To my surprise, the baklava was slightly warm still as it just baked. It was filled with pistachio, honey, and flaky goodness. There’s also black in the back, and some mint leaves to add to it if you’d like. For me, the black tea was great on its own! Definitely going to add to my rotation of Mediterranean places to go to!

Walking around barber lane with the strip of different asian food shops to go, we decided to go to Falafel bite because of their menu(never had falafel — shocking!) and because of their reasonable prices. When me and the hubs came in the menu prices changed to a dollar over. I asked tha lady why the consistent advertising and she said that they just recently changed the prices and they haven’t(bothered) changing the price tags on their window…“uhhh gurrrl you better have a sharpie and change it before someone calls on your deceitful reasoning”…While social norms just made me nod and say«OK’ to her response, the former was a reaction inside my head ~ Moving on… The dinning place is spacious and somewhat clean(hubs pointed out the dark foot prints on the floor that needs some mop action) The hanging décor(lamps) were pretty and I kept looking at them while waiting for our meal… Oh hubs ordered the #1 special of spicy roasted chicken in a bed of rice and hummus and I got the falafel plate with greens and hummus… oh an order of pistachio baklava for dessert(Dang if I knew about the check-in @ Unilocal,we could have gotten it for free! extreme sad face!) It was our mistake to get drinks… they have complimentary tea! And I like their tea… actually loving it! its next to the soda dispenser and I regret getting the soda water that I couldn’t even finish. We were served first with the salad. it was watery in the bottom of the bowl. I asked them if it has vinegar on it because the hubs is allergic to it and they immediately checked it out with the chef. It was confirmed to have vinegar so they immediately gave us a different bowl without a dressing… we do have the tzatziki sauce to use for it. This was very commendable of them to do. The chicken plate was very good according to the hubs… the meat was succulent and very tender. And being the caring man that he is, he shared some of his food to me. The rice is very tasty and compliments the chicken very well. The falafel plate was tasty. I was expecting longer shaped falafels same as posted in the pictures but i got round shape ones… was disappointed but other than that it was spot on. The baklava was ok. We choose the pistacio when they also have the walnut variety. Honestly I’ve had better. Over all taste wise its above average but the downsides kinda pulled me to just give 3.5 stars.

This place opened back in January 2015 and I finally made my way over to check them out over the weekend. This is their second location in the south bay. I ordered the kefta wrap(made with ground meat). I was deciding between the beef and lamb or kefta and was advised by the person at the counter to they the kefta since its not as common. Don’t forget to check in on Unilocal for the free baklava with a minimum order of $ 7. This was the former Sushi Factory location. The first room when you walk in is where you order and pay. You are then given a number as you wait for your food to be brought out to you. The adjacent room was pretty spacious for you too sit and eat. There were a number of tables and booths. The kefta wrap was pretty much as long as my forearm. I was able to finish about half of it. The kefta was very flavorful and the wrap was definitely on the saucy side. You are also brought out two bottles: one hot sauce and one yogurt sauce to try with your wrap. I did prefer the hot sauce more. The baklava was pretty good. It wasn’t as sticky and sweet as others I’ve had. Overall, great food and service. Can’t wait to try their acai bowls on the future. They were out when I was there.

Second time around at this place to change a bad first review. I was contacted after my first review and asked to come back for a complimentary meal. In my first review I stated that the food was really good, just the service was bad and another situation I encountered that I won’t mention. I came in for another meal, and the food was just as great as I remembered. The service was awesome and speedy. Since this center is near my work, this place will be on my lunch rotation.

This restaurant looks like it didn’t get the memo that Milpitas Square is a predominantly Asian restaurant plaza but that doesn’t seem to affect their business at all. However, my wish came true! There is finally a restaurant that serves an acai bowl in my area! They charge you by the scoops of raspberry sorbet(ranges from 1 – 4). Two scoops was about $ 7.50. I couldn’t finish it and saved the rest later in the day for a snack. The scoops are generous even if it doesn’t seem that way initially.

Dropped in for the grand opening! This place is tucked in on the left side of the milpitas 99 ranch plaza. There wasn’t much of a wait which was nice(but surprising for week of grand opening?). Ordered the falafel wrap(vegetarian) and my friend ordered the chicken shwarma. We also got a side of small garlic fries and checked in on Unilocal for the free baklava. Everything together was less than $ 20 which was pretty worth it considering the good portions. You can sit anywhere and grab your own utensils/drink. The food came out in about 15 – 20 minutes. The wraps were delish! The falafel stuffing was nice n hot! I liked how the tortilla/wrap was crunchy and not soggy(which is a big pet peeve of mines). You can add the red spicy sauce or creamy white sauce… I found that adding a combo of both to each bite was a definite flavor blast(try it!!). The garlic fries could’ve been crunchier but that’s just my preference. The free baklava was pretty good. Crunchy/flaky pastry layers on the top and a sweet moist syrup-y cake on the bottom. It was a little too sweet for my taste, but the pistachio flavor that came through was good. Overall good first impression. I’d definitely come back to try the hummus plate or chicken/beef shwarma!

This review is based on their Baklava and Acai bowl. If you have a sweet tooth then this place will put your level to the test. The baklava is free if you check in on Unilocal and make a purchase over $ 7. I had the pistachio one which was good, but very sweet tasting. The Acai bowl was great! My boyfriend especially liked it because the honey they used was VERY sweet, probably the sweetest honey I’ve ever had. The consistency of there bowl was exactly how I expect Acai bowls to be, but I know they have it pre made because they don’t have sizes, but scoops. Still good though. They add chocolate pieces in their bowls as well. We waited quite awhile after ordering and there were many flies inside the restaurant… I would come back again to try their food! They have pictures above the register which help out if you’re unfamiliar with their food.

Falafel N’ Stop was closed and I had a hankerin’ for some hummus BIGTIME. Nothing and I mean nothing was gonna stop me from gettin’ that good ‘ol spread. Falafel Bite was one of the few mediterranean shops open on a Sunday after 6pm around my area. THANKJEBUS! I ordered the Falafel Salad Plate, which comes with 6 pieces of falafel, salad, hummus, and some pita bread. $ 8.99, too much for one person to finish, too little for two people to be satisfied… Case in point, it’s not to be shared. Although, I originally came here for the hummus, what really stood out to me in this dish was the falafel. I loved how they fried up their falafel; it was super crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and had a slight Asian flair with the sesame seeds on the coating. The hummus was still delicious as well. Smooth, creamy, and fresh. I knew it hit the spot when I was using the pita bread to really scrape down the sides of my container to grab as much of it that was left in the crevices. I could’ve done without the salad, nothing special about it. It was just torn up iceberg lettuce with chunks/slices of tomatoe and salad dressing. All in all, the next time I get a craving for hummus/falafel, I’ll be sure to visit this place.

We went here on a Tuesday night and everything was good. We didn’t experience any slow service like some of the earlier reviews said. Definitely get the falafels. They are delicious. — Veggie Combo Plate — I like getting a sampler platter. The falafels were so good with the crispy outside. Inside had good flavor. The plate also came with babaganoush, hummus, and tabouli. I liked the babaganoush more than the hummus. — Adana Kebab — Hubby ordered this dish and he said that it was okay. The kebab was a little dry for him, so he wouldn’t order it again. Complimentary tea was available in the back of the restaurant.
