I was in the mood for something Mediterranean adjacent, and stumbled upon Tasty Choice. We were originally going to order through a delivery app but the resultant price, compared to the actual price of the menu items, discouraged us. There was a literal, $50 upcharge, which almost turned us off from ordering overall. Hubby suggested that we call them directly to see if they deliver themselves, and the woman with which I spoke, said that they did! The overall price of our order came out to 5bucks less than the delivery app, with all those garbage fees removed.
As always with a new place, I ordered quite a few apps, along with our chosen entrées. I chose their Korean wings, honey bbq wings, falafel, and some beef samosas. Hubby had their chicken and lamb Arabic platter, my son had their lamb Arabic platter and I went with their mixed grill platter without any chicken.
The food arrived fairly quickly, but it was not hot, more warm than anything. The flavour is definitely there but the timing in preparation was definitely off a bit. The wings were tasty, and the samosas were yummy. The falafel was not a favorite.
The Arabic platters have roti-like wraps, filled with the meat of choice, banana peppers, red onion, lettuce and tomato. They were paired with a kinda of raita with their awesome spicy red sauce, a cabbage red onion slaw, and more banana peppers. Hubby and my son said that their food was OK.
My mixed grill platter usually comes with two lamb chops, a lamb koftah, and some sort of chicken, but I requested just the kofta and chops, and I received two of each. It was accompanied with a large helping of their seasoned rice with golden raisins and saffron, a cucumber salad w/dressing, their cabbage slaw and red onion, and more banana peppers.
Delivery was exceptional. The guy who brought out order was soooo nice! He provided very good service and was appreciative of the large tip we gave. I would much rather give money directly to a person, than the corporation for which they work.
The portions are huge, so we had leftovers again, for tonight. The food tasted way better, hotter. Tasty Choice has an opportunity to serve a very large community. They are a newly opened, only for about three months so far, and with a few minor improvements, they have the potential to be very successful. Give them a try and support local, small business!
