Enjoyed tabouli salad and a hummos plate with hot sauce on the side with right out of the oven hot pita pockets. Wonderful! Next were a shawarma plate and chicken kafta which were hot and tasty. Generous portion sizes tooGreat attentive service from Crista tooLots of leftovers for a few more meals!

This restaurant has a pleasant ambience, and the menu seems typical of Turkish restaurants. It seems to have good reviews, so I was hopeful when I came in. Unfortunately, the food did not match my expectations. Some examples of disappointing dishes include the friend zucchini pancakes. In Turkey and throughout the Eastern Mediterranean region these are small, light, crispy and clearly made from zucchini. Also they should be fully cooked, not raw or nearly raw in the middle. Here the dish was quite the opposite: just partially cooked and not really made from anything, just an anonymous batter. I could not find the zucchini. Another disappointing dish was lamb with okra. There was very little lamb in the dish, the sauce was more sour than anything else. This is a dish (of Turkish origin like most Greek dishes) that I have eaten a lot in Greece, and I was very disappointing. Another was dish that disappointed me was the fried calamari. Again, it was hard to find the calamari; it was mostly batter.What was good? The coban salad was delicious (chopped up tomatoes, cucumbers etc.), really nothing else. While nothing was really terrible except perhaps the zucchini cakes, nothing was really good.I should mention that I lived many years in Israel, and have spent a lot of time in Greece and have also visited Turkey a couple of times. I am not certain that an American would have the same reaction to the dishes that I had. People seem to really like the restaurant and the waitstaff were very pleasant and friendly.One final point should be mentioned. The food came out almost instantaneously. Is it all precooked, I wonder? I would expect a stew to be precooked but not any of the other dishes. Perhaps this explains the semi-raw zucchini dish.
3. Brassica

We heard about this restaurant in the past from a student at Ohio State. The student ate at the original Columbus, OH location.We live in Buffalo, but visit Cleveland frequently. Brassica is now open in Cleveland.Excellent falafel.Great spicy carrot salad.Wonderful roasted eggplantBabaganosh was puréed. Tasty although we prefer it with some texture, was just OKThe highlight was FRESH baked whole wheat pita bread onsite!!!We enjoyed our visit very much. Wish them great success.There is another falafel restaurant in Cleveland in which in house baked pita is featured. More on that in the next review.
