“I love it here! My first visit was for Mother's day brunch a couple years ago now and my only complaint then was not enough meat on the buffet but I think they're serving brunch a la carte now any way. I've visited several times since then and each time has been flawless; great food, good service, lovely cocktails, fabulous ambiance no matter the meal time of the location inside, outside, or at the bar. I really love the Mon-Weds seasonal tasting menu; it's a value you can't pass up especially given the food and service quality at AVA. Highly recommend.“

“Big thanks to Mrs. Intissar and Mr Issame for the best customer service. The food was so delicious. The Hamam Mahshi and Molokhiya was so good. I can’t wait to try other dishes. Definitely 5 stars.“

“This cute restaurant was amazing from start to finish. It is reservation only, but once you call you will be introduce to Michele who is the definition of amazing service. When you arrive, Michele will greet you and be your server. She will make you feel like you’ve been a regular there for YEARS. The food is amazing and have huge portions. It was loaded with so much flavor and you could tell that it was all homemade. Chef Z mans the kitchen himself!!! We got the lavas bread with haydari and sautéed eggplant for an appetizer and the bread was so good fresh out of the oven that we couldn’t resist eating it all! For an entree we split the Feta Cheese Pide and the Iskender Kebab. The pide is a Turkish flatbread with the cheese baked in (kind of like a pizza meets a calzone) and the Iskender kebab had delicious sliced lamb on top of seasoned bread with a tomato sauce and dallop of yogurt. We had to take about half home. For dessert we had baklava that literally melted in your mouth. One of our new places to frequent.“

“Amazing gyro sauce and homemade tahini. Owner is super friendly.“

“As of 8/20/22: they are closed on Saturdays due to staffing shortage. Which probably means Sunday, too. Didn’t know this as website stated it was open. Drove 20 minutes to realize they are closed.“

“I had the chicken gyro platter and the falafel appetizer to go. It had salad..chicken and rice and came with tzasiki sauce and dressing for the salad and the app came with hummus for dipping.. What a beautiful order and it was absolutely delicious. Will order again.“

“Our first time having food here and the experience was amazing!! Great food, excellent service and the staff was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.“

“Good food & excellent service!“

“I have been eating there since 1983 and every meal has been perfect. I worked in Downtown Winter Park and ate there almost everyday. I have since retired and have not been to Power House in quite a few years. I walked in for breakfast during the holidays, and not only did George remember me but remembered my favorite smoothie. It’s just so much more than a place for good food & a smoothie….Vegetarian options: Best vegetarian food.“

“We had a family celebration and got the food catered from Heart of Jerusalem and it was absolutely delicious and did not disappoint. Owner was very welcoming and great customer service. The quantity and quality of the food were on point which made it a hit at the party. Thank you.“

The service was amazing the youn girl that took out order was super nice and very polite, she was running around the place and still had a smile on her face, amazing! The baklava was 10 out of 10. The chicken and lamb souvlaki were 10 out of 10 also“

“I have been going to the Mediterranean Gourmet for years and always found the food to be fresh and delicious. The team there is always pleasant and cordial. The hummus is great and my favorite item is the chickpea salad. With the exception of the stuffed grape leaves (Dolmades), everything is made fresh.“

“Incredibly considerate and nice owners with good service. Food is even better. Fresh everyday.“

“Always fresh!!Always delicious!! A treat!!!!!!!!!!“

“Amazing authentic Lebanese food. Stopped by on a Thur nite and very surprised to see it empty. Was recommended by a co-worker who was half-Lebanese. Food was so delicious! Ingredients were fresh and high quality - no gristle in any of my meat dishes. Had baba ghanouj, grape leaves, shish tawook to start. Baba was smooth, creamy, well-blended with a hint of smoky flavor but not overpowering. The olive oil mixed with it was so good - best way to describe was a clean flavor without leaving any greasy residue. Of course it was imported from a Mediterranean Arabic country, hence the flavor - Hassan the owner said from Morocco or Syria. Grape leaves had vegetarian option so I chose meat! Very tasty, not oily. Shish tawook (chicken kabob) had a nice grilled flavor, nicely tender and marinated. I like the Persian version (shish tavook) a little bit better because it is a little juicier, but the Lebanese was not dried at all - slightly different flavor and definitely warrants a reorder on return visit - and I tend not to order chicken dishes so that says something!Fried kibbi was very good - least favorite but I would reorder again, yes. Crunchy outside, tasty, soft/crumbly inside, meat minced well and not gamey. Makanek was very delicious even though drenched in oil. The sausage had a robust flavor that was not gamey (I love lamb), and stood up well in oil. Very savory but lean flavor - some sausages taste savory due in part to fatty content, but not this one.Baklava was excellent in the tradition of other Arabic cuisines - tend to be drier vs Greek which is wet. Not to the extremely dry end which tends to be very flaky and crumbles. Just wet enough to notice the honey, and no syrupy or cloying sweetness. Would describe the sweetness as not overpowering, even a little subtle, dissolves almost like a powder even though no sugar dust.The owner told me 30 year history of establishment, and how it has been a favorite of foreign dignitaries when they travel to FL. I can see why. Reminds me of an Afghan restaurant in upper East side of Manhattan that had same claim (Pamir). And yes, prices reasonable. Forgot to mention the nice service by owner and the refreshing hot green tea (Moroccan with mint). Mint nicely soothes the entire GI tract, but be wary if you have GERD, not to lay down for at least 2 hrs after (if you have average gastric emptying time) - the tea is soothing but not sleep inducing, so you might be tempted.“

“I just learned about Cava and am so glad I found this place. It's like Chipotle for Mediterranean food and the flavors are fresh and fantastic. I'm vegetarian so I usually get the Spicy Greens bowl with Falafel and it is quite satisfying and delicious with all sorts of interesting toppings and flavors to explore, such as the red hummus, crazy feta, fiery broccoli, green spicy sauce (skhug) and an assortment of other toppings to choose from like corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions etc. The falafels themselves are also tasty. Overall the food is healthy, fresh, delicious and satisfying so what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!Vegetarian options: Spicy Greens bowl is great and comes with Falafels“

“The food was super good! We had the chicken gyro and the traditional and the spanikopita and all were delicious. The inside of the restaurant is… a bit of a mess. Clean but very cluttered. The ladies who helped us were super nice. If we are in the area again we will for sure go back.“

“The food is obviously amazing but the reason for the review is the customer service. The manager, Erica, is an amazing human. She is very kind and always a pleasure to talk with when making my bowls. Everyone reading this should take some tips from Erica to make this world a better place. 100/10“

“Cava is one of my favorite quick stop eats. The bowls are so fresh and tasty! My go to is the harissa bowl. The pita chips are really good, but the bowls do come with complimentary pita which I just found out about last week. My husband also likes the lamb option.“
