My daughter and I were in town for a concert and looking for some Mediterranean food when we found this place. I am SO glad we did; except that now I may be ruined for ANY other place! I had the chopped salad with gyro and literally DIED over the taste! Mediterranean food is my jam, and I’ve had it in Greece, Turkey and Croatia – but this place here tops ALL of those! Fresh, cooked perfectly, a lovely, tantalizing variety of flavor, perfection! The service was fantastic, too! If you’re looking for an orgasmic meal (yeah, I said it!) eat here. You won’t regret it!

I do not leave reviews ever but this restaurant will elevate your idea of what amazing food tastes like! All their food is 100% natural and healthy. They bring Lebanese culture to westchase perfectly. The family who owns it is extremely friendly, making everyone who walks in the door feel welcome. I always recommend this restaurant to all of my friends and family!

I’ve searched far and wide for restaurants like this, and let me tell you, they’re a rare find. There’s nothing quite like family home-cooked food—it’s packed with love, and you can taste it in every bite. But what truly sets this place apart is the quality of the ingredients and the incredible flavors. This is how food should always be.
I actually discovered them through ChatGPT while searching for restaurants that don’t use seed oils, and I was blown away to learn that even their falafel is cooked in coconut oil! As a vegan, I was thrilled by their wide array of vegan options, but I can only imagine how amazing the meat dishes must be. The flavors here are so unique—this isn’t your average Mediterranean or Greek restaurant. They have the classics you’d expect, but the spices and overall flavor profiles are on another level.
If you’re vegan, I highly recommend getting the vegan platter with extra falafel, and maybe an additional side of hummus if you’re feeling extra hungry or want leftovers. The total cost is around $27, which gets you a generous portion—more than enough for the average person. As a young, active guy, it’s just the right amount for me, but for someone with a smaller appetite, like a petite woman, a smaller plate would be more than sufficient. Don’t miss out on this gem—it’s worth every bite!

The service was excellent. Our server was so sweet and helpful. She even gave us 2 extra pieces of baklava at no cost since it was our first time eating here. The food wasn’t so good. I had the beef shawarma wrap and my wife had the chicken shawarma wrap. Both of them were very dry. The garlic sauce and hot sauce helped, but we ended up making our own “sauce” out of olive oil, salt, pepper, and the garlic sauce. That helped a lot, but the wraps could have used a creamy dressing to help carry the flavors and provide a better mouth feel. The kiddos didn’t like the pita very well, either. The wraps were overpriced for the size, too. For the amount given, they should have been about $7 instead of $12.

First time here at this Lebanese restaurant In Westchase, had the falafel wrap, it was amazingly delicious thanks to the lady’s recommendation. The side cabbage salad was also a good portion and very well dressed.
Their home made tea was very light and refreshing, thank you ☺️
Would definitely come back here again for lunch! Loved it!

When I asked the owner’s daughter, who was serving our table, where the salad leaves came from, she replied: ‘I’m not sure, but it’s something organic. My father is such a healthy-eating geek.’
I share the same views — especially when it comes to delicious food. Highly recommended!

Wonderful family owned restaurant. Had such an authentic Lebanese food experience. Tried the falafel plate, lamb kafta, chicken shawarma wrap and a few other items… nothing was disappointing. The drinks (hibiscus and Lebanese lemonade) were amazing!! And best of all the standard they hold when cooking is what sold us on dining… coconut oil for frying, olive oil used for cooking, no refined sugars, farm fresh proteins, overall clean and delicious.

Its nice when you stumble upon a Lebanese restaurant in the middle of nowhere. The vegan platter was flavorful, nicely presented, and all-around enjoyable. I did order the addon falafel and realized that my lunch got a bit bigger than I like it. Still, I ate every morsel and enjoyed it.

The best, cleanest, most delicious Lebanese food in Tampa! It’s a family owned and managed restaurant and all of their dishes are made with so much love! You’re always greeted with a warm smile and the chef, a 100% authentic Lebanese mother, will come out and greet you with a smile and a cup of Turkish coffee. You won’t regret visiting Fresh Bites! Try the chicken shawarma plate or the lamb kafta wrap! You won’t be disappointed ❤️
