Great choice at Great Lakes Crossing. It's right in the food court, close to LEGO land, Sea Life Aquarium, and the little kids free play land. We had decided to eat here based on the Yelp reviews, but when we saw the short line when everyone else's looked soooo long, I'll admit we had second thoughts. But, we went ahead, and..... we were very glad we did! We tried the bowls, which are a $2 up charge on the pita (and still come with a pita) but were excellent. The servers will let you have a little taste of something to see if you like it. I was able to try the red pepper hummus (delicious) and that's the spicy eggplant, which had a kick but was very very good. The chicken Shawarma comes highly recommended. It's JUICY and well-seasoned and complemented everything. The tabouleh and quinoa salad also get a thumbs up!
The kids meal is very healthy choice for kids. It comes with rice, a meat, hummus, and then the rice can get topped with your choice of sauces and veggies. And there's even a pita, too. It was a good size kids meal. Neither of my kids could finish it, so dad and I helped and we didn't mind! We all usually love toum (garlic spread) so I wasn't really worried about the other reviews that said it was so spicy... but I should've been. It was too hot for the kids, and packed quite a kick. They are making that with a lot of garlic. I still liked it, but consider yourself warned. The tzaki sauce was good drizzled on my veg & feta. Our whole experience there was FRESH, delicious, fast, and healthy... It is was way better than a bowl of fried chicken chunks w bottled sauce and rice from a place with a line 4X as long. This place comes highly recommend. I so appreciate it when I can try a new place that other Yelpers have endorsed, and now I am pleased to pass it onto you for the win!
