This is the best falafel plate I have ever eaten! The hummus is amazing and the food is super fresh! The grocery section has a wonderful assortment of food to choose from, but a little on the pricier side than I'm used to. Also, I was just about to buy a drink for a homeless man, but the counter person refused the money and gave the drink for free. Speechless.

Great spot to grab a bite to eat and pick up some select groceries that you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. There are really nice spices and desserts like baklava here, among other things. I got a wrap at the deli that shares the space with the grocery store on the other side of the building. It was very reasonably priced and surprisingly filling - didn't need anything else to eat for a while afterwards.

I was searching for an authentic place around me with gyros. And this place is the spot! I ordered their gyros plate and baklava - both were delicious. What truly blew my mind was their hummus! I had to go back the next day to get another small side of hummus. Mo served me at the front and he was very kind. They were making fresh falafel at the time. I told him I'm not a fan of falafel because I had this one bad experience several years ago where the falafel was dry and had no distinct flavor. Basically a ball of dry chickpeas... Blegh... But Mo gave me one to try and that was just wow! Changed my mind on falafels. Gyros, delicious hummus, baklava and falafels Definitely a gem in the Andersonville neighborhood. I will be back to try more dishes!

Very comfortable and well priced restaurant. Lots of options for middle eastern food, including big group/catering platters. A single sandwich or wrap will set you back ~$10, which is very reasonable in my opinion. The restaurant also made a very comfortable place to sit and chat. We stayed for a few hours and did not feel rushed at any point. The service was good, as was the food. Looking forward to coming back to try more.

My all time favorite desserts are these pistachio nut based pastries. When I found this place I was so excited to see an assortment of these pastries! This establishment also has hot baked savory goods that I also tried! I got the three cheese and spinach onion pastry, so delicious and aromatic. I will definitely be back for more!

The bakery and market is adorable, and had a wide assortment of foods. It's cozy but items are packed in for maximum use of space. Staff is friendly. We tried the falafel, pita, and tahini sauce. It was so, so good. If this hadn't been at the end of our food tour, I definitely would have finished my little sandwich, but instead, I have a place I will be heading back to next time!

Fresh barbari bread, pitas (various sizes and types), lavash. If you get there early the bread is warm! Pistachio and hazelnut coffees, made from the real nuts. Great selection of site made soups (lentil is great and I buy a couple to freeze), dips, tapenade, hummus, etc. Excellent deli and market with selection of yogurts, including Labneh, cheeses, olives, fatayer (stuffed pies- eggplant, cheese, spinach), coffee, teas, SPICES, pickled veggies, dates, figs, tahini, ajvar, harissa and olive oil. Spices for cooking: including sumac, sesame, za'atar, smoked paprika, barberries, tumeric, salts, aleppo type pepper, fenugreek... Various varieties of rice, beans and lentils. Pastries and sweets. Adjacent restaurant for dine in and to-go. Two-three loading zone parking spaces in front depending on how people park.

I've passed by this place a few times and just had something random and large from the Brown elephant down the street (today it was an air popcorn popper) but wow I had no idea about the supermarket. I grew up in a neighborhood with a large Mediterranean and Middle Eastern, so when I walked back I found the spices intoxicating. Then they have some cheeses I love that I used to use daily but haven't seen honestly in a decade. Pretty cool. We headed to the front to place our order, a veggie combo and a Beef/lamb shawarma. They have a open kitchen and counter service. We took a table near the counter. It's great to see the plated dishes come out fresh and smell the aromatics in the air. Our food came out in a decent ten minutes. The meat was slice to a perfect thickness and cooked to give a nice gradation of doneness with nice caramelization. The hummus was tasty and fresh with herbs, I honestly didn't take note of the ingredients but dug in. Had a nice tanginess. Everything was delicious well portioned and reasonable priced. Service was great. Explained all the veggie options pulled out examples. I mean I definitely going back especially to the shop in the back. I mean they're really stocked well. Lots of goods made on site too.

Big and busy place acting as both a market and restaurant in Andersonville. It's okay to order something from the menu then walk around the market until you get called. Middle East Market is a place to get something to eat later, or if you would rather not wait, then order up front in the cafe and eat here. Has lots of favorites. The service is okay usually. After making it up Clark to Andersonville, we came in. It wasn't that busy but there was a line. They're kind of more like a market. Dining area is kind of cramped. Even so, try to get a few containers of things. It's about $5 for an item. We got the Falafel Wrap. Loaded with tons of stuff on it. There was garlic, Jerusalem salad, onions, pickles, and tahini. Also looking around the market, we found big bags of candy. There's also treats like halva. Good place for looking around and sampling Middle Eastern. It has some hard to find groceries. There's lots more including baked goods, salads, and about the only bad thing is there can be a long wait for service.
