Liked the falafel in the Veggie Wrap. It was crispy. Initially on eating it I found it dry. Good thing that they give additional hot sauce & sour cream to add moistness.I would say service is a little up tight. My friend asked for hot water and we had to pay for it. Would have liked a little warmer service ( pun intended) as this is what helps repeat customers as well.

Great food, chill place, fast service. Everything was good. The red sauce is spicy and worth trying it. The average amount would be $12 so it's good for the money as well.

Kismet is amazing and the fact that anyone rates it anything other than 5 stars is a crime

Amazing vegetarian/vegan options. Love the falafel wrap, veggie supreme, and the vegan shawarma. French fries are fresh. Moderate pricing. The sauces and additional toppings are kind of pricy to add to the meal, especially if you're a sauce person. Inside vibe is hole in wall-y. Decent proportions.

Needed a spot to grab something vegetarian and filling, for a Lenten Friday. Kismet came up as an option for the Mediterranean in the area. While I'm not too fond of the shopping area, I would certainly recommend Kismet. Easy to order, either with an employee at the counter or using their kiosk screen. Tables kept clean. I ordered the Vegetarian Mezza with a side of Lentil soup and a side of extra hummus. Would order again! The hummus was served smooth and creamy, unlike gritty hummus you'd find at a store. The falafel was crisp and not overly oily. The eggplant dip, despite looking similar to the hummus, had a distinct taste that added variety to the dish. Also came with tabouli.

Love this place. Great service, great food. If you're a vegetarian or if you're a meat eater - this place has wonderful/healthy options. 10/10.

Eggplant dip is lovely, hummus traditional and solid. VERY good proportions for the price (2 for roughly $25). Chicken over rice is simple and still a staple for me. Cauliflower is nice and the pita is great with the dips Cheers!

The worst food you can eat, the fries were obsolete and aged, you have to with to not get intoxicated before eating, dirty place and they don’t use

We came here late night for dinner. It has a casual setting and the Mediterranean aromas immediately welcomed us. We ordered chicken bowl with jalapeño sauce and another with orange sauce. The portion size was huge but we were too hungry so we ate it all! The rice was flavorful, chicken was shredded and yummy! They served it with a side Mediterranean salad which was crisp and fresh and perfectly complimented the chicken and rice. Both the sauces were delicious but I loved the jalapeño one more. This is a great casual spot for hanging out with friends/family and since it's open late in the night, it's perfect for a late dinner after a movie.
