I ordered the Greek Gyro pita, which came with seasoned crispy fries. Excellent meal. The gyro with beef & lamb, tzatziki dressing, tomatoes, and onion. The fries are the best I've ever eaten. Crispy outer coating and perfectly seasoned. Service at lunchtime was very good, even though not many people were there this day. I would return if I'm ever in the area again. My wife had the Chicken Shawarma bowl, and she said the garlic sauce is excellent. Both plates are pictured.

Recently dined at Chickpea, the local Mediterranean joint, and had a bit of a mixed bag experience. The place is a cute, locally-owned spot that offers a decent lunch option in the area. The waitress was pleasant, although her attention seemed a little divided, spending a good chunk of our meal chatting with a friend on the patio. It would've been nice to see her a bit more engaged with the customers. Now, the food was definitely a highlight. The menu, though somewhat limited, and with a couple of listed items unavailable, still offered some tasty options. I went for the chicken shawarma and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion and delicious flavors. My friend's salad looked fresh and appetizing, and we shared some baba ghanoush which I had never had a chance to try. The dip was quite good, a new favorite of mine, though they could definitely balance the pita to dip ratio better. So, the verdict? Chickpea is a nice little lunch spot with some room for improvement. Despite the service glitches and a few menu hiccups, the food is good enough to warrant a return visit. It's my second time here, and I'm still willing to come back for round three. It's worth supporting local businesses, and with a little tweaking, Chickpea could be a standout.

Let me start by saying the food was delicious not the best gyro I ever had but delicious. However the problem is I ordered a plain gyro and reiterated that on the phone. Also when I picked up my order from the guy with the curly mustache I also confirmed with him that there was a PLAIN gyro in that bag which he confirmed. I get home and it’s not plain. Normally I wouldn’t care too much but it wasn’t for me so it didn’t get eaten.
