I have regrets not finding this restaurant sooner. The food is deliciously prepared, everything fresh, vibrant and full of flavor. Great vegetarian options even for meat eaters. Highly recommend!

Mona was so warm and friendly! The food is really delicious and she let us try so many samples. I LOVE the hibiscus water drink (forgot the name, but it’s shown in the photo)

We will definitely be coming back!

Best Turkish Mediterranean food in south Tampa with amazing customer service and generous portions! You have to try the falafel wrap, turmeric soup & the jalapeño hummus! All her food is made fresh daily and you can really taste it! We eat here quite a lot and it never disappoints! They also do a great job with catering for events! Thank you Mediterranean Chickpea!

This place is incredible and if I could give 10 stars I would! From the minute I walked in Mouna treated me like family. It is clear that she has a true passion for cooking and the food is delicious. I highly recommend this place :).

The best falafel wrap I’ve ever had. Perfectly season and a nice balance between tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles 10 out of 10 would eat here again. The hummus was extremely flavorful the lady there. Let me try three flavors of hummus and I opt it for the jalapeño was definitely worth the hour drive

Had their mix mezze platter and za’atar pie. The good thing about this place is that it serves all home cooked food. Their babaghanoush is creamy and has a smoky flavor, their hummus varieties are also nice and so is the moussaka, which is vegetarian. The host/owner is also very sweet and would often ask if we were doing okay and how everything tasted. She gave us two pieces of lavash and a small cup of dip with the meal. However, there were a few things that didn’t feel great to me. Everything except the bread with zataar spice was cold, including the mujadara and the moussaka, and the mujadara (rice and lentils) was also less in quantity.

Vegetarian options: The menu is vegetarian with some vegan options as well
