" What a hidden treasure! I stopped by The Hippie Chickpea while traveling through Montpelier. The believe-the-hype reviews are absolutely accurate! I had the chicken gyro, and it was unlike any other I’ve had. The pita was soft, the chicken was juicy, and the tzatziki sauce was just the right touch. My only critique is that I wish the serving size was a bit bigger. But overall, every aspect was delightful! I plan to stop here again whenever I pass through Vermont. " (*Curated Review*)
