Mediterranean Bowl
**Meet the Mediterranean Bowl** - (Version 2 thanks to feedback from all of you!) a rainbow 🌈 of spreads, salads, falafel, and sauces, with a variety of vegetables and tons of protein in every order. We've been inspired by Middle Eastern recipes using Western Mass ingredients. We start with a layer of our **silky hummus** so you get a little bit in every bite. Then we add two beautiful salads: a hearty **Farro Lemon Dill** and a **Chickpea Eggplant Pepper** salad made with organic chickpeas from Connecticut. For some light brightness we add a **Cucumber Tomato Salad** (*use the lemon wedge to squeeze a little fresh juice on top*) and bright magenta **Pickled Cabbage.** Of course we can't skip our **Falafel** balls, fried to order, crispy/craggy on the outside, and bright green inside from fresh cilantro and parsley we fold into the batter. Then drizzle everything with a beautiful herby green tahini. ***
Verde Rice and Bean Bowl
Jenny (Clover Kitchen) brought us a recipe for Verde Rice that is so packed with green that it's basically a garden! Tomatillos, cilantro, serrano & poblano peppers, garlic...we knew we had to build a bowl around her recipe. *** To her warm verde rice we add **Charley Baer's heirloom black beans grown in Maine, pickled carrots and red onions, tostones (fried smashed plantains), fried jalapeños and a sprinkling of scallions.** For drizzling: **a smoky vegan crema sauce.**

A group of 6 ordered food, paying with 2 separate payments. Half the order was made, given, and finished; 20 minutes later and the second half of the order still hasn’t even been made. A heads up would have sufficed and we would have understood, yet instead we got no apology and minimal explanation. Fries also had no flavor… you may enjoy it but we surely didn’t. Unpleasant experience overall

This is the best meal (without meat) I have ever eaten in my life!!! Great!!! It's a shame that there isn't a shop like this in Germany ?? I miss your food!!! Incredibly delicious?❤️❤️❤️❤️
September 2024
Food is excellent, but there is a limited menu and it is really pricey. $20 for a fast food lunch ( veggie bowl) and a drink is a bit much. But, that said...it's really really good.
