" I went in for the much-hyped hummus and wow, it truly lives up to the praise! The grocery section is superb as well, brimming with authentic finds. Service was average, but I'll definitely return for more of that hummus! It was a shining star of my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have such mixed feelings about Middle East Bakery & Grocery. While I appreciate the authentic taste of their food, my last experience was quite disappointing. I ordered a combination plate but the chicken was dry, and the service was not up to par. However, I must give credit to their grocery selection, which remains unmatched in the neighborhood. I hope my next visit is better! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kind of disappointing, to be honest. I expected great things based on the hype. The atmosphere wasn't very appealing, and my order took longer than I anticipated. The food was just okay. I felt slightly let down, as I’ve had better meals elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" My colleagues and I went here for lunch, and the wrap I ordered was bursting with flavor! The only downside was that the seating area was a bit cramped for the crowd. But, I was able to find some amazing snacks to take home after I finished my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this nice little eatery yesterday, and it was splendid. The lamb hand pie was delicious and filling. The grocery section had a range of Middle Eastern goods. I particularly enjoyed how fresh and quality the pita bread was. I'd definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Middle East Bakery given all the great reviews. However, my experience was a bit underwhelming. While the grocery section impressed me, my chicken shawarma was dry and lacked flavor. The atmosphere was nice, but I expected better food quality based on other comments. I might give it another shot, but I’m not sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" The grocery selection is really impressive, and the prices are quite fair. Their hand pies are definitely worth trying—so flavorful! But I did find the spacing in the restaurant a bit cramped during my last visit. Overall, it's a great spot, particularly if you enjoy Mediterranean flavors and want to find ingredients to cook with at home. " (*Curated Review*)
