Great tasting kabobs and hummus, owner was very nice and we went with his recommendation of garlic chicken which had an amazing sauce and of course the baclava was amazing, dining room was closed when we went there for lunch so only patio seating

The owner was really kind and patient with our questions about the meat being zabiha halal. The garlic chicken, rice and hummus was very tasty and the falafel wrap we ordered was also yummy. We loved the cashew baklava and really appreciate the owner giving us an extra baklava quietly without letting us know in the takeout order🙂

Adorable little shop with great vegan options. The food was fantastic. Accessible from the street but easy to miss if you're not careful. Gorgeous outdoor eating area. Atmosphere great. Highly recommended.

The cafe came highly recommended by the fine folks at the Kayak Connection in Moss Landing. It did not disappoint. We had the gyros and stocked up on vegan baklavas. There's limited seating on site, so take your food to go if possible.

This is a wonderful spot! There is a cute little nook to sit in. The food was fabulous! The tahini was LIT and the owner was super sweet and came out talked to our family and told us about his interesting life. Highly recommend.

Best falafel in the US, I think. Plus the nicest owner. Can’t recommend this place enough! I was there constantly when I lived in Monterey, and now it’s a must-stop whenever I visit.

Absolutely amazing food! The owner was an extremely friendly man who obviously is passionate about the food he cooks! Absolutely will go back again!

Delicious food, probably better ordered as take out as there's not much seating. Seemed like only one employee working at the time, but he was working extremely hard.

Delicious little spot. We had garlic chicken (absolutely wonderful) and kafta, which was perfectly seasoned and balanced between lamb and beef. Owner was very friendly and ran a great little operation. We sat on the little nook patio and felt like we were tucked away somewhere abroad. Will be back.

Incredible! The owner was so kind and welcoming. We both ordered the garlic chicken platter and loved it. Don’t miss the vegan baklava. The owner told us he’s been running the restaurant by himself for 29 years! Amazing food. Get a patio seat or take it to go on the beach.
