Mona’s Cafe

Slow, overpriced even for mall food, and the gyro I got was too crispy and very overcooked. Plus the salad didn’t have the typical white dressing, and I got no Grecian white sauce. Originally considered South Philly Steak & Fries, but their line was much longer. Turns out I could’ve gone through their line twice before I was served my well done gyros, and likely would’ve been more satisfied. Note to self: If there’s no line, there’s probably a reason for that. And if there’s a huge line (like Mooyah, which is fantastic!) there’s probably a reason for that.

Super delicious! I ate here for lunch and then also ordered to-​go because it was so good. The gyro plate was fresh and was a large portion.

Probably the healthiest choice on the fast food strip. Usually get the chicken shwarma plate.

Yummy Greek food in a hurry. I had the vegetarian plate w/​baba ganoush, falafel, tabouli, and hummus with Pita bread.

So when my colleagues suggested we go to the mall food court for lunch when there were so many other highly reviewed and Unilocal-​able places near the convention center I was slightly aghast. However I was drawn to this place in the food court because of the revolving meats in the background, SOLD.
I ordered the chicken shwarma with salad and hummus. Again, I grew up eating stellar Middle Eastern food made by the loving hands of a relative or family friend, so I would say I can spot the fake stuff as quickly as I can spot a fake Ferragamo.
This stuff was legit. The meat was bursting with flavor, plentiful, and tender. The salad was crisp and complemented the meat as if working in concert together to satisfy my taste buds. Even the hummus was good (though I like mine with MORE garlic please), and served with the legit trademark of a small pile of olive oil in the middle making it perfect for dipping. The pita bread was moist and thin. All in all a fabulous meal. And served with a diet Dr. Pepper just about put me in food court heaven!
*heads up though they don’t take Amex, so go ahead, «Leave home without it,“because they don’t take it here anyway.
