Best Mideast food on the east side. I fell in love with this place when I first walked in - it smells fabulously delicious! and I didn't go broke buying 2 bags full of great finds and new treats. On subsequent visits I have found even more items and I love that it is a local family-run business. I have no idea what DeAndrea is talking about regarding customer service needing improvement - even if there is a line, the service is always friendly and patient in explaining the specials etc; if you have a problem they are quick and very fair to fix it or replace the product.

Not a place to sit and eat - but rather get the food and go.
The prices have probably not changed for at least 20 years.…

The Scene
What began as a pita bakery has turned into a Middle Eastern dining and shopping experience. Browse the jam-packed shelves or sit down at one of the few tables to gossip with the

(The pita made here is shipped to stores in five states.) There's also an olive bar; feta cheese is showcased next to the baked goods and comes in four varieties: Greek, Bulgarian, goat and French.…
