Premium beer and wine bar featuring a full lunch and dinner menu. We serve a very authentic Falafel recipe made using fresh Garbanzo beans.  In suburban locations such as Ventura, locating a deli which serves true Falafel can be a challenge.  We specialize in middle eastern, mediterranean, and levantine cuisine.  Falafel is a popular vegetarian dish served throughout the eastern mediterranean (the levant region), although it is actually said to have originated in Egypt.  In Israel and Jordan you’ll easily find Falafel being served by street vendors, and it’s one of the most popular snack dishes throughout the middle east.

We prepare Shawarma in the most authentic style.  Our chicken Shawarma and tri-tip / lamb Shawarma is grilled on a rotating vertical spit near an open flame.  The spit is the large vertical skewer with the cone shaped cooking on it.  Much of the Shawarma flavor is a result of the meat slow cooking in its juices – this creates a very tender and flavorful meat.  Finely slicing the Shawarma from the spit enhances the flavor and texture of the meat.  We serve our Shawarma as a traditional plate with hummus, banana peppers, toasted pita bread, garlic sauce, tahini sauce, and tabouli or as chicken and tri tip / lamb Shawarma tacos.
