Abo Youssef Mediterranean Food

"This Mediterranean food truck stays busy making flavorful shawarma, falafel, and sweet baklava for its loyal Cherrywood fanbase. The truck is located at a gas station (a place it shares with Thai Thani, a standout Thai food truck), so it’s wise to call ahead to secure food to-go for date night. Otherwise, there are a few tables outside for dining al fresco. Insider tip: The mint lemonade is an absolute necessity for hot days." - Erin Russell

"The menu at Abo Youssef is small, and the food takes forever to arrive. But that hasn't stopped us from coming back for their chicken shawarma, shish taouk, hummus, and grilled lamb kabobs. The portions at this food truck parked outside of a gas station on Manor Road are generous, and every meat that we’ve tried has been well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. Get a side of hummus and baba ghanoush, and a refreshing mint lemonade to go with it all. And if you want to bypass that long wait, just give them a call 45 minutes before you arrive.

"The Mediterranean food truck is slinging enormous platters of shawarma, gyros, and falafel. Make sure to order the superb lemon mint tea. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are tables for outdoor dine-in." - Darcie Duttweiler

"For falafels and desserts: Ahead of the first day of Ramadan, falafels seemed appropriate, especially from essential Mediterranean food truck Abo Youssef. The falafels are compact and sturdy, the rice pudding was creamy, and the baklava was sticky sweet." - Erin Russell
