The Mediterranean Chickpea

Super friendly owners - fresh, tasty. I usually get a platter as meal prep over the course of a few days.

The Mediterranean Chickpea feels like home to me. Not only is the food incredible, but the owners—who are family—put their heart into every plate. You can truly taste the love and effort they put into this place. A solid 5-star experience!

Before even looking at the menu, she was offered us samples of all of their hummus as well as the baba. It was all so delicious it was hard to decide which one I really wanted. I decided to go with the baba and the red pepper. IT WAS ALL SO DELICIOUS!!!!! The atmosphere was wonderful, they treat you like family here.

This place is so good — definitely a must-try if you’re in the Tampa area! Everything was super fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they use quality ingredients and make everything with care. The portions were generous, and the variety of vegan options made it easy to try a little bit of everything. The staff was also really friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re craving Mediterranean food that’s both delicious and wholesome.

The food is always so delectable and the owner is incredibly sweet.

This little gem is a must visit!!
First off the service is superb and the cafe itself spotlessly clean. Seriously the best falafel I’ve ever had (outside of the source). The mezze platter was a large portion and the perfect way to try multiple items - because YES it is all amazingly delicious! I recommend the tabbouleh, baba ganoush, and the jalapeño-cilantro hummus!
We will be repeat customers for sure!!
