In my younger years, my aunt would take home some of her leftovers that she'd get whenever her hospital friends ordered out for lunch. Back then, the only think I knew about Mediterranean food was Gyros. When I ate the food, I liked it from the start (granted I found it a little dry...and it still was in the recent visit). I came here for my 18th birthday, but for some reason that I can't remember I was in a foul mood and didn't feel like eating. Fast forward to 2008 and 8 years after, I find myself going here once again. Now, takeout orders may be one thing, but actually ordering something here is another. the plates are HUGE!!! My family were done just by eating the appitizer sample platter (1 big piece of pita with a "lazy suzan" plate of 6 different hummus type sauces). I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and Filet Migon combo, and instead of getting 1 filet of fish and steak i got 2 filets of steak plus one big filet of fish cut into 4 portions PLUS a full plate of couscous. Needless to say, it was overwhelming for 1 sitdown meal. The fish was great, but the steak was another story (leathery feeling and hard to cut through). I tried my mom's and aunt's dishes and they too were pretty tough (but good). I for one like the place, but not to the point I'd go everyday. my suggestion is to come with an empty stomach and get ready to chow down.
Pros: LOTS of food
Cons: parking lot is hidden, best to have reservation for dinner after 5PM
