An indoor mediterranean market and small cafe.
The market has a wide variety of interesting items, like grape leaves, tahini, olive oils, cous cous, imported treats, and a wide variety of spices among other things. Plus a small fresh section with things like some really good looking baby eggplants.
They have a cafe style order counter and checkout for the store in one (probably means a bit of a wait). With a small to medium seating area on the other side.
We tried the sampler with hummus, baba ganoush, and dolmas. Plus the Fattoush salad and lentil soup.
The hummus was good, very smooth and some in my party said it was the best they had ever had. I would definitely say it ranks well, although slightly less flavorful than some, it was probably the highlight of the meal.
The baba ganoush was good, although it didn’t have that signature smokey flavor from roasting, a little milder in flavor than some.
The dolmas were pretty good. Although not my favorites, they were interesting … Rolled in sumack which gave a different subtle flavor. Slightly tart / sour / acidic but they didn’t taste like lemon.
The Fattoush salad was good, with crisp Romain and lots of cucumber and tomato, plus kalamata olives with the pits. Served with cheese on top and tzatziki sauce.
The lentil soup was decent, if a bit on the bland side. Very lite salt, and it didn’t seem to have the common saffron, cumin, lemon, cracked pepper flavors.
The service was very friendly and pretty helpful. They went out of their way a bit.
The atmosphere … It is located in a pretty run down strip mall, but it’s certainly functional. It also sounds like they are in the process of moving to a new location – which I haven’t seen but is presumably an upgrade.

I was so fortunate to happen upon this wonderful restaurant and market. Had so much fun shopping and discovering all of the different awesome products. I stocked up on a variety of things while my good was being prepared. Wow!!! The gyro sandwich was so fresh and tasty. The pita bread so warm and fluffy. The Baba Ganoush was outstanding. I will definitely be going back often both for the food and the groceries.

So far this is my favorite grocery and restaurant food in Kansas City area. I tried the chicken shawarma wrap with fries and it was generous amount that I could finish only half! Very good staff and kind and prices are reasonable if you are looking for middle eastern grocery and a taste from home. I will be back ISA

Wonderful, super authentic, all you can eat halal food! I loved being able to build my own gyro and falafel sandwich with a large variety of salads and sauces. All of the side meats and vegetables were also spiced very well and were delicious. One of my favorite places near Kansas City.
