I understand why they name it the spice boys. They really know how to make a meal packed with flavor. I had the eggplant pita and it was so delicious. Honestly can’t wait to go back and try other dishes.

This is a real hidden gem! Florence and her boys have put together a fascinating menu of delicious flavors. We had corn ribs - maybe a mid eastern take on street corn- and bhel puri, which I can't describe except as an explosion of flavor. I had the tumeric fried chicken sandwich, while my friends respectively had salads and shawarma - all delicious. The surprise of the evening was cookies for dessert, and the chocolate chip-goldfish cookie was shockingly good. Frankly, it is a reason to start with dessert. We were chaperoned through the novel menu by Florence herself who is incredibly gracious and friendly, as were all the staff. I can't wait to go back!

We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of options available. I had the falafel pita with radishes, beet hummus and harissa sauce. The layers of flavors complemented each other very well.

I really can't find fault with this place. So much so, I came back with visitorsInteresting twist on Mediterranean food. Really leaning towards southern and/or eastern Mediterranean food.Everything is very fresh and super tasty. And it's mostly healthy to boot. Vegan options (I'm not) are easy here. You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely one of the best restaurants in Sarasota. Don’t let the fact that it’s in a strip mall fool you—it’s first class all the way. Pleasant bar seating area if you happen to be dining solo. Highly recommend

This place was exceptional. From a big city and not used to good restaurants being in suburban shopping plazas. Huge surprise.
