very nice food! staff kind and will kindly put fortune cookies in your bag. but i put four stars for “atmosphere” because it is a little under cared for. unclean floors, only a couple din in tables. but overall five stars. thank you amazing china wok team for your great food and service!

Well, I wanted to dine in. That was my mistake. I guess that's not the standard operating procedure. So she gave me a menu and I sat. She came back out from the kitchen and asked if I was ready and I replied yes. She said you can order up here at the counter. I ordered chicken with garlic sauce.I complied then sat. She brought the food in a to go container with a plastic fork. The broccoli, carrots, onions, mushrooms and green peppers were very hot, however, quite al dente. For me it was not cooked enough. The chicken was okay. The fried rice was not very tasty. For take out it would be just okay. It's definitely not a place to sit and eat. The bathroom is out of order.

There are a lot of things to like about Flames. First off, even while they had a party of like 20 people, they were still able to seat us immediately. Even though they had this large party, our food came out relatively quick. Tandoori chicken was flavorful and savory. Chicken tikka was also great. My favorite thing was their $9 salad, which could very well be a meal for some people. The decor is warm and inviting. Two people can easily get out of here for under $50 with tip included which is amazing in this day and age. The only downside might be parking as it is a bit tight and not many spots to choose from, but it did not impact us on this trip. I would definitely come here again. In fact, I might rate this as one of my favorite Indian restaurants in Tampa.

I recently visited Mediterranean Chicpea and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, the service was amazing. The owners are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met—they truly go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The food was delicious, with authentic Mediterranean flavors that you can tell are made with love and care. Every dish was fresh, vibrant, and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. If you’re looking for amazing food and even better service, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to come back and bring friends to share the experience! Highly recommend!

Had their mix mezze platter and za’atar pie. The good thing about this place is that it serves all home cooked food. Their babaghanoush is creamy and has a smoky flavor, their hummus varieties are also nice and so is the moussaka, which is vegetarian. The host/owner is also very sweet and would often ask if we were doing okay and how everything tasted. She gave us two pieces of lavash and a small cup of dip with the meal. However, there were a few things that didn’t feel great to me. Everything except the bread with zataar spice was cold, including the mujadara and the moussaka, and the mujadara (rice and lentils) was also less in quantity.
