"Leave it to a former Safta chef to bring us perfected Mediterranean flavors, but at way more affordable prices. The spunky Sonny’s Mediterranean is a bright, counter-service eatery where you make a few simple choices: pita, salad, or plate? Falafel, chicken, or both? Add a side of baba ganoush or za-atar fries? Then grab your number, take a seat, and wait to enter pita, salad, or plate bliss. All the sauces are scratch-made, so you might want to ask for an extra cup of the harissa with its trio of dried chiles and/or the kicky chimichurri. (Spice averse should definitely skip the zhoug, which should only be ordered by masochists willing to part with their taste buds.)" - Allyson Reedy
