This is a WONDERFUL spot! The owner is the sweetest restaurant owner and straight from NY where he has a restaurant and food truck for years! We had the platters, with chicken and Kefta, and OMG SO flavorful! The hummus was the ONLY thing that I would recommend somewhere else but it was still delicious! It's very clean, the ingredients fresh, and the care that he put into serving us was phenomenal! The prices are also unmatched ! Also, I typically don't like baklava but Lord have mercy it was INCREDIBLE! Be sure to give them a try!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

My wife and I found this place on Google when we asked for a Mediterranean restaurant near us while we were in Casselberry. I was surprised to find it in a convenience store at a Marathon gas station. At first I was a little hesitant but we thought why not try it? I'm glad we did. When you enter the store, the tables and counter are on the left (additional tables are outside). The staff was friendly and greeted us as we walked over. We asked about some of the items and they explained how some are made and what they were. My wife ordered the vegetarian combo and I got a chicken Shawarma combo. They were nicely plated and delicious. My platter included a small salad, hummus, old red pepper feta sauce, grilled chicken and a pita. My wife had falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, moussaka, a small salad and a pita. We will be going back for sure.

Second time eating here and i can definitely say the food is phenomenal. Some of the best falafel I've ever had, tried the kefta this time too and it is equally fantastic. Great baba ghanoush and the spicy feta dip is delicious on everything. Don't pass this place up! Great prices and portions, owner is really kind and really puts a lot of love into his food.
