I would give this place 5 starts if it would allow me to. Stopped in mid cross country road trip and the vegan falafel sandwiches exceeded our expectations! Separate vegan / vegetarian menu and very friendly knowledgeable staff. Definitely recommend!

We drive the 80 often and always time stops around meal time here. Dedicated menus for vegetarian and vegan as well as gluten free. Homemade food and it is legit Mediterranean fare. Family run, friendly staff and also does a lot of to go if you want to take it on the road.

Absolutely the best Mediterranean food! So good, so fresh,si authentic! The young ladies that served us were great! Try the homemade pistachio chocolate bar...so good!
Vegetarian options: We had the vegetarian plate with falafel, baba ganoush, the falafel sandwich. Large portions, all deliciously fresh!
Just wow! This place is amazing. Located off the beaten path, would almost not know it's around if you weren't looking for it. The food is fantastic. We went there twice, on our way to and from Tahoe. Wednesday they have pizza which is some of the best I've ever had. Prices are great. Would absolutely go again.

Family style is the way to go with a bigger group. Lots of appetizers and some shared meats. Everything that came out was amazing! I think we hit nearly every app and many of the desserts.
We have eaten Mediterranean food in many of the major food mecca cities but surprisingly this little restaurant in Elko Nevada had the best Mediterranean food we have had anywhere. Specifically their home made pita and the shawarma they make with it, the falafel, hummus and baba ganoush were all top notch. We will make enjoying a meal at this little family run restaurant a routine stop when we are passing through Elko from here on.
Vegetarian options: lots of items on the menu are vegetarian.
Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free, dairy free, egg free or vegan options.

Unusually good falafel and lamb platters from a smaller family owned joint. If you stop in town and are hungry, this is probably one of two options I'd slide into without worry of consistency. Our waitresses were super awesome, Baba Ganoush is also a standout. Sorry, forgot to photo was too busy eating.

What an exceptional find while passing through Elko. Food was delicious. Service superb. Desert (Kunafa) a must. Imported from Palestine weekly. An incredible delight. We will be back.
