This place serves excellent middle eastern food. Not only the owner is friendly but also the food is good. The kabob and the shawarma are the best I ever tasted.

I had the chicken shawarma dish and had the same weird feeling about the so called«chicken» as Virginia T., Jamie S. & Jamie G. It had an odd blend of color patterns in the meat and it tasted as odd as it looked. I wouldn’t trust ever going back there to try anything else. It was around $ 8 or $ 9 and I could have found better use of spending the money within the Fresh Farm store. My eating partner and I left there terribly disappointed expecting to have an enjoyable fresh healthy Mediterranean dinner. Instead we felt the opposite. I hope no one ever goes here for their first Mediterranean experience because they will be totally turned off. They are not a good representation of the uniquely seasoned and fresh flavors of Mediterranean food and I strongly discourage anyone from going here for that reason. That’s all I have to say.

Ok I been here before… apparently this place has exchanged hands again. The guy behind the counter. very happy, very friendly. The menu had changed alittle, So What caught my eye was the Combo Kabob dish. Wow was that good. My mouth was watering after I was done and I had the urge to smoke a cigar, which I couldn’t do cause the food coma was coming on. Parking is in the mall(as it is located in the Fresh Food market place) So they share a bathroom with them also I liked it.

I tried their food about a year ago and wasn’t impressed. I honestly can’t remember what I had but I remember I didn’t like it. So I tried it again the other day and was even less impressed. If you love Pita Inn like I do, you will probably not like this food. I got a chicken shawarma entrée and 4 piece falafel for $ 11. Falafel was okay, not the best or worst I’ve ever had, but mediocre. The shawarma however was awful. I also don’t think it was chicken… it was turkey… and OLD turkey at that. It tasted old and gamey like it had been there for awhile. I had 2 other people taste it and they said the same thing. It actually reminded me of old leftover Thanksgiving turkey, like when it’s starting to get nasty and you have to finally throw it out… haha The rice was okay but nothing special at all. The only good thing was this little cup of garlic sauce that was delicious! I drenched my food in it but it still didn’t cover that gamey meat taste. Plus my friends complained that I stunk like garlic all night LOL… They have some pre-made items in a case outside the grill that are very good, like the homemade spinach and cheese pies, salads, hummus, baklava, and rotisserie chickens. Stick with that or something from the deli if you want a quick bite after you grocery shop.

I have worked in the area for two years. I LOVE Fresh Farms and go there at least once a week but I’d never tried the Pointe Plaza Grill. Today I had no leftovers, I’m nearly burned out on eating Noodles & Company and I had to stop at Fresh Farms so I gave PP Grill a try. MISTAKE. I ordered a chicken schwarma sandwich and a small hummos. Nearly $ 8! I got the food back to my office and the sandwich was SODRY. I think they cooked this chicken last week. That might be being generous. The iceburg lettuce, few pickles and 2 hard slices of tomato did nothing to help the sandwich. Neither did the stale pita. Hummos was ok. Bland. Little bit of parsley, olive oil and a few crunchy chick peas on top. No garlic flavor whatsoever. No need to waste your time here. Overpriced, not fresh, not unique or tasty.

You WILL get hungry shopping at Fresh Farms(unless your stomach has been stapled shut). After leaving the store in a hurry almost every time I have shopped there and running home a few blocks away to grab a snack, I stopped instead at the Point Plaza Grill at the front of the store. Now I shop at F.F. 4 or 5 times a week, and have since it opened a year ago or so, but never gave the little grill a second thought. What a colossal blunder on my part. Today I ordered the beef/lamb Kefta kabob plate, which came as a juicy pair of kabobs each about 9 inches long, a generous mound of saffron colored rice, a pita, a garnish of onions and a cup of lentil soup. The kabobs were savory, hot, and a just right resistance to the tooth. The rice was light, fluffy, aromatic and delicious. The soup was hearty and satisfying, spiced and salted perfectly and piping hot. The management is Lebanese, which means that next time I’ll have the falafel. And all of this for around 8 bucks! Next time I’ll before I shop, and then I might have a fighting chance of buying only what I need, and not giving in to the countless delectable temptations that fill the store.

Really wanted to like this place but wasn’t meant to be. This is a fairly new addition inside of one of my favorite grocery stores in the area — Farm Fresh international mkt. Tried the shawarma chicken and Greek salad. Very average. Chicken was really dry. Good flavor but dry. Rice is good but not exactly what u expected. pita salad was warm but a little stale. Expected more given the great quality ingredients in the store but no. Even the coffee was poor and barely warm. I’ll skip next time.

I ordered delivery service today because the weather was making me want to hibernate. Feeling a tad daring, I ordered crepes, fully realizing that they are potentially not the best items for delivery. I got 2 different types of crepes to share with mom. One was mushroom, spinach with cheese and the other chicken with avocado. Both were surprisingly good, though I did have to heat them up a little. The presentation was very nice. I did prefer the mushroom filling. It was very rich and flavorful. I also ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza for Christopher and some chicken wings. The pizza was ok, nothing special. The wings were pretty good. The choices were mild or BBQ. I got the BBQ, which had a sweet flavor. I liked it, but would have preferred something with a little more zip to it. The delivery man was very pleasant and the delivery was prompt. I would order from here again, but probably try things other than crepes. They seem to have a rather extensive menu.
