The Mediterranean Chickpea

High-quality homemade food has that authentic made-with-love mom’s cooking taste. Vegan and vegetarian. The eggplant is fire. The lentil soup is amazing.

Absolutely amazing! We were greeted by Mona and treated like family from the second we walked in. Everything we tried was fresh and so flavorful. The dips are some of the best we’ve ever had. Highly recommend the 5 item platter if you’ve never been so you can try different things. And the homemade bread - just wow. Highly recommend this local family owned shop. We will definitely be back! Shukran, Mona!

Cannot say enough great things about this place! Homemade and authentic cooking that is not only delicious but made with real ingredients and healthy for you. This place is a gem! Nothing else like it in Tampa Bay!!!

This is the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had in my life. So authentic so delicious. I don’t think you can find hummus any where better in the United States. I am from Chicago, I’ve been to Greece, and Israel; this spot is better than any food I had in Greece, and better than any Greek restaurant in Chicago, it’s so comparable to authentic Israeli food. ITS SO GOOD AHHH

I asked the owner multiple times if items were vegan, was pressured into buying 40 dollars worth of food for just ONE person. Then she refused to give me a refund on the baklava until I asked 3 times politely. I am really disappointed, I was a first time customer and I wanted to like this food. But honestly, the flavors were disappointing. The caramelized rice and lentils were overwhelming with nutmeg flavor. If you are vegan, please just go somewhere else and save the stress/panic over eating animal ingredients after ASKING

Hands down, the best Falafel wrap I’ve ever had. Baklava was amazing! So much flavor and love and care in the food. A vegan safe space 🌱

The food is absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and made with clean ingredients. Everything tastes like real, authentic Lebanese food, and you can truly tell that it’s all made in-house. The place is spotless, which we really appreciated. Mona is incredibly sweet, generous, and kind, and made us feel so welcome. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

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.
