Being of Mediterranean descent, myself, I really want to like this place, however, I have experienced some issues that prevent me from being a regular customer.When they first opened, my family ordered multiple dishes as takeout from there. The price was a little bit on the high end but we understand that it’s a tourist town and so that kind of is the way that it is. The food was good, but they forgot to put in any pita and also forgot 2 meat skewers from my husband‘s plate. We called to let them know and they said they would make it up next time, though it was a bit disappointing given the price. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring it up next time so I’m not sure whether or not they would’ve honored this.A couple months later, I called in an order of a few dishes, going off of the menu on their website. When we got there to pick it up, the prices that we were given at checkout were substantially higher than what it said on the website. I showed this to the man at the register, who is one of their regular employees, and he didn’t seem to care, instead being adamant that I pay almost $20 in total more than what was shown on the website. I did, but it really left a bad taste in my mouth and so I haven’t been back since.
We stopped in the cute little town of Cambria before heading north to San Fran. This restaurant was delicious and I would highly recommend it. I had the Chicken Shawarma plate and it was really good. My sister had the Falafel plate and ate the whole thing too.The server was very nice but you could tell he was busy as he was the only one for about 4 tables. We highly recommend this restaurant if you end up in this cute area!

I live in Cambria and this is my favorite food in town. They have a $15 lunch special which is such a great idea, and delish. Dinners are very tasty, whether you take out or eat in. It’s wonderful to eat there and share your meal choices because everything is flavored very well and the menu is interesting. Their food makes me happy and they are a lovely family.

Awesome for vegans/vegetarians! Some of the best falafel, salad, baba ghanoush, and hummus we’ve ever had! The food was outstanding. The owner was also the host, waiter, and bussed the tables so service was a little slower than I’m used but he was very friendly and worked hard! Worth waiting a few more minutes for their amazing food.

1 star rating was the dining experience. I believe the guy who sat us to our table may have been the owner, but he seemed upset for having patrons. His entire demeanor wasn't inviting but rather full of frustration and discontent. He knew that we weren't local to Cambria, so he took full advantage of the situation. He didn't take the time to explain that there were extra charges to items (like water). We initially wanted to order the lunch special, but these items were for "to go" only. So, we ended up ordering the babba ghanuj (doesn't come with pita), beef shawarma (came with a side of ultra bitter tahini for dipping), and chicken shawarma came with a side of garlic tzatziki dipping sauce). Food was just OK, nothing memorable and most definitely nowhere near being the best Medditerran food.

Very disappointed with our simple take out order of Hummus and pita bread. The 'large' container of hummus we received was half filled (barely 4 tablespoons) and we were charged $9.00 for it. We called, but didn't receive any satisfaction. We come to Cambria and enjoy supporting the local restaurants. We are sad to say that we won't be visiting this restaurant in future.
The staff was very friendly, but the food was mediocre, at best.

Disregard any negative reviews from this date. There were only two people working and they served half the state due to a power outtage closing most other restaurants and interfering with the big local event. Despite getting slammed Shawarma was great, and service was too considering they probably served 35 people in 90 minutes.

Very nice staff and great food. Especially the falafel was delicious! It's a bit too pricey from my point of view, but we loved it anyway.
