Really good food for a good price, some of the best falafel in the city. The bakery in the back also has a good selection including these tasty spinach pies.

every time i eat here the food is dull, pasty and underseasoned. you get Beige Flavor or Sour Flavor. worse value than lots of other well-known mediterranean places on the north side. love the grocery store though

This place has become a GO-TO for me here in the neighborhood. As a vegetarian 🌱 I always enjoy the healthy and delicious Mediterranean foods here, be it in the cafe or on the grocery side! I highly recommend this place to everyone. The staff is friendly and always makes me smile.
