When you’re craving Middle Eastern cuisine, Grape Leaves is the low-cost, high-value place to get your fix. Located in a high traffic strip mall, Grape Leaves is a pleasantly authentic surprise. From the moment you sit down, you’re greeted by a basket of pitas to get the meal started. The wait staff is generally friendly and attentive but can become distant during a busy lunch-hour rush. But what may be lacking in service certainly is redeemed in taste. The roasted vegetable side dish is delicious, as is the crushed lentil soup. They carry all the staple items too, including hummus, tabouli, freshly squeezed juices, and all the classic Middle Eastern favorites. Carryout is a breeze as well. Simply walk up to the juice bar and they’ll take your order. A small sitting area with reading materials helps make your wait-time enjoyable.
