Levant Kitchen

I had been wanting to try this place for awhile and we finally did. I didn’t realize it was online ordering only, but currently it is. We ordered chicken breast sandwich, shawarma sandwich, shawarma bowl, and basmati rice. The bowl was supposed to be super spicy and the sandwiches were supposed to be little/mild spice. Well, they mixed that up and the bowl was mild and the sandwiches were super spicy. Which was not enjoyable for the two that did not want spice and who wanted spice. The sandwiches were very “wet” and completely fell apart. I couldn’t even finish the last parts of them because they were soggy messes. We ordered 10 pita breads as well, and they came as a pack of Yasmeen Bakery Pita, which was disappointing. I thought they were going to be house made. The rice is yellow and stains EVERYTHING. My rug, my shirt, my counter, you name it, it stained it. The only redeeming thing about this place is that everything tasted good. But on our hunt for a new middle eastern restaurant, this isn’t it. Update: we went back! Well, the sandwiches are huge and I’m not sure why I didnt note that before. They are still “wet” and fell apart at the end. We got hummus and pita, which was very yummy, the rice is bland for sure, and I realized I prefer almond rice over basmati. We also got a fattoush salad and it was quite good. But honestly, it wasn’t my favorite. But it didn’t taste bad and they give you a LOT of food, it was both lunch and dinner and shared!

I ordered at the counter a fattoush chicken breast salad no onions add feta. I got home and opened it to eat and it’s definitely not ROMAINE lettuce. It is iceberg and the butt part of the lettuce. No green romaine pieces at all. Very upset. A salad is supposed to be green, not yellow and white pieces. $20 for this. I should have gone to Shisho Palace. Pro: chicken breast was tender and good.
