Hala's is a good find for us in Florida, now that my husband and I live here in Jacksonville. We're from the Detroit region, where middle-eastern food is plentiful and good. The first time we went to Hala's, we ordered from the menu, because we hesitate to eat from buffet tables: we're watching our weight! That visit, we noticed that the choices at the buffet table were of a reasonable number, so tonight when we visited, we ordered the buffet.
Pros: Good example of middle-eastern cuisine.
Cons: It's not cheap, so didn't know how to rate the "cheap eats" category.
