Amazing Middle eastern / Mediterranean food. Ordered a bowl with brown rice and quinoa as the base, protein ranging from meat balls and lamb, and the add-ons added the whole flavor. I dont remember what I got but it was delicious.

Only got the shwaminis for takeout so cannot speak to any other dish or atmosphere. That said they were not good at all.

Chicken or meat are any of them HALAL?every thing is good but I always I have to go with vegetables and Hummus

Really delicious food but portion size was too small and inconsistent across the group of 4 of us that ate here yesterday. my coworkers won’t be returning based off size of portion issue. I will return but hope that you can increase size of portion so that it’s a complete lunch and less like an appetizer ($14 lunch bowl).

Food is good quality, however portions are incredibly small. This place has by far the smallest portions of any similar mediterranean lunch spot in the area.

When you pay close to 15$ for a build your own bowl, the least you can expect is a good amount of food which at least fills the bowl and some decent service. Well, I got neither of those on my visit today. I counted exactly 6 pieces of small cauliflower in my bowl and my bowl was less than half filled with rice. If you're charging that much, maybe don't be stingy with the food which is supposed to be in the bowl? The workers also seemed totally annoyed when I asked a couple of questions since it was my first time trying food here. Probably won't be back. Save your money, go elsewhere.

An all-around disappointing experience! I stopped in for lunch and was excited for the option to customize my own rice bowl. This is always great with poke places and I very much appreciate flexibility in dining. When I walked in, there was no one else in the place, save for one worker. As soon as she saw me she said "I can help the next person in line" which I thought was a little odd since I was the only one there. I noticed you can order two "base" options which was confirmed when I asked. I went with the basmati rice and pita bread which was listed as three pieces. Next, I opted for the lamb which was $4 extra but it's worth the added cost when the flavor is good. I added some lettuce, sauce and hummus (I like to keep it simple) and was all set. With a soda (warm can from the cooler) ordered, my cost pre-tip was $21. I always leave a tip, so that's on me but the cost on a small bowl was pretty steep. The meal itself was just not good. The lamb was ground, which in my head I think I was expecting gyro since the place gave off Mediterranean vibes. Not much flavor in the lamb and it probably one smallish scoop. The pita was one piece, fairly dry and thin and at the bottom of the bowl, so there was no way to eat it easily and it certainly was not three pieces. The rice was fine and bland, the hummus wasn't bad, but nothing special. Maybe if you pile on more vegetables, it can disguise the small amount of meat and otherwise uninspired toppings, but it just did not work well for me. With the food not being great and the service best described as giving off the impression of being a bother, I was just really bummed about this whole experience.

Great place to grab healthy lunch. I have almost given up finding a place like CAVA when I moved to Seattle because I miss it so much, but this place reminds me of CAVA with it’s Mediterranean - health conscious style. The combinations are endless and the garlic yogurt sauce is *chefs kiss*

I got the bowl with both types of chicken (one shredded one not), along with spinach/kale, rice, and some Tahiti sauce. I'm not a fan of picked vegetables so I didn't get any of those. But next time I'll try adding a soft boiled egg. It tastes pretty good!

It’s on the healthier side so that’s a plus. Chicken shawarma though was really bland and dry. Meal didn’t taste much superior to cafeteria food, and for $16 I would expect a lot more.
HORRIBLE SERVICE. I just went there with my partner and we ordered exactly the same and he got double the amount of food on the same bowl size. I asked why he was getting more and the server didn't even answer and stopped talking to me. What a disappointment. There's people out there willing to do that job better.

Taste is okay a tad pricey. Biggest Problem is everything is cut too chunky. Thinner slices would make this a great chicken rice place.

Delicious and healthy. The lentil and caramelized onions are so good.

Food tasted ok but gave me upset stomach almost immediately. Limited selection. Food portion was ok. Possibly ok for grab and go.Dietary restrictions: Serve Halal food
