If you are looking for light and fresh food this place is great. All there food is vegan by default and you can add on protein. Friendly staff, quick service. They have fully contactless kiosk and QR for ordering food.A bit on the expensive side, but in 2023 food isn't cheap, and healthy food is down right expensive. Even though I paid over $20 for a chicken salad I felt that I was getting a good value.If it's your first time to diamond jamboree shopping center be prepaid. Parking is a nightmare.Vegetarian options: Almost everything is vegan by default, you can add meatParking: Diamond jamboree parking is horrible. There is just too many Good restaurants and not enough parking. Lunchtime is a zoo

Great customer service, great ingredients, great decor and displays. A very nice place to grab lunch !! Frapps are great and they'll add substitutes with milks or sweeteners and give little mint chocolates as a complimentary item. If you're in the area give it a try!Dietary restrictions: They substitute items if you have lactose allergies and will make things purely vegan/vegetarian if you're such. Im not got the chicken wrap was ✨amazing✨ I would recommend if you need some nutrient dense food with protein

Stellar food and great service, try the cauliflower and Brussels!!!! Had healthy vegetarian, vegan, and meat options. My dad isn't a fan of chicken so he was stoked they offered steak as a protein, while I loved the tofu! Definitely worth checking out!

Staff was inviting and helpful. They explained the menu and very attentive. It was nice to have a healthy meal after a day at the amusement park. Don't forget dessert!

I heard good things from other people and wanted to try this place out; however, taste and portion size vs. pricing were disappointing. I ordered a Mediterranean Fuel Bowl, which was $14.95 without proteins. Adding chicken cost extra, and the chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The portion was small for the high price that you are paying. Despite the small portion, there was insufficient amount of sauce to coat and flavor the components; I was given a to-go packet of Tapatío hot sauce to add into a bowl. I've never seen that at any other Mediterranean restaurant before and I find that the flavors do not compliment each other well. Given that it is located in the Diamond Jamboree plaza, you are better off eating elsewhere.

I randomly ordered food from here before heading to the airport and I'm so glad I did. Everything I ordered was so delicious and flavorful. The keto fries were so unique I would literally fly back here just for them. Also loved the many different baklava options! When I walked in to pick up my food order both the employees had such beautiful smiles and were radiating such welcoming and positive energy. I'll be back some day!

Small place but very nice menu with a wide variety of things. Plant based and regular options available. The food is definitely worth the price. Everything tasted fresh and is made in house, nothing is frozen.The customer service was very good, they gave me recommendations and explained what the different menu items were so I could try something new.Vegan Monte Cristo sandwich was very good, lots of flavor and fresh ingredients. The falafel is made in house and was very good. The baklava was some of the best I’ve ever had. The zoodles bowl was really good, served hot and my son loved the chicken Alfredo. This will be a place I definitely go back to.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan optionsKid-friendliness: Kids menu

Zesty Olives is yet another bit of evidence to support my theory that Californians would not know good food if it sat in their lap and called them Momma. How this place gets 4.7 is a mystery. I left almost as hungry as I entered. A cold, lousy thick pita like those from Costco, barely warm chicken with little flavor, lettuce, tomato, red onions and red cabbage, in a sauce that has been thinned down to water almost. People, this is not 5/5 food. It's slop you can throw together at home with a probably better outcome. Eat here if you must, but stop giving 5 to Zesty Olives. It is 2 at best. And oddly, only 2 dishes seem to have olives. And neither was mine. Not going back.
Stopped by to check out this spot on a Thursday night. The place is located on a small corner strip mall type area and parking is not easy. At first we went here with an eye on having a gyro, but ended up going with the bong Kong noodles, pasta Alfredo and the crispy cauliflower and broccoli. The crispy cauliflower and broccoli was the best of the group with the pasta Alfredo just being okay and the Hong Kong noodles being spaghetti noodles with a red sauce and some asian condiments put on top which was disappointing. I would recommend sticking with Mediterranean centric food if you decide to visit.

The brussel sprouts and cauliflower is literally one of the best things i've ever had. They're always so nice and it's a cute little shop with a good vibe. I want to be buried with the cauliflower and brussels, because wow.

If you're looking for authentic mediterranean food with clean ingredients and excellent service, this is the place to eat at. My personal favorite was their wrap with sirloin. Delicious! Go there and try it, and feel free to thank me later!
Came here hungry on a Saturday 12:30 pm and didn't have to wait at all. We ordered at the front and got our food 5 minutes later. I ordered the beef pita wrap and he ordered the Mediterranean Fuel Bowl. The wrap was sooo good and satisfied my craving for a fresh and yummy meal! Flavorful but not over sauced. He enjoyed his bowl. "It's healthy but tasty at the same time." Lively music lightly playing in the background, very clean facility and they used mason jars for water cups. Environmentally friendly efforts recognized. ;) This is a great choice amidst a popping plaza and I'll definitely come back to try the baklava.

Healthy, fresh and tasty. I ordered the Mediterranean Fuel Bowl with jidori chicken. a The portion was a little small for the price and the chicken was a bit dry. Overall, pretty decent.
