As someone who is extremely fond of Mediterranean cuisine, this is one of my favorite restaurants in Frederick. The Mediterranean diet has been recently reviewed in the media as one of the better diets to lead a healthy lifestyle : http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/03/24/mediterranean-diet-heart-health/2013417/
Getting back to the restaurant, the food is mainly Turkish/Lebanese. They have a nice selection of mezze , salads and lunch sandwiches.
For lunch , I started off with the Tirosalata Dip which is prepared from roasted red peppers, red chili peppers, feta cheese and lemon juice. The other mezze dip options of Hummus, Baba ghanouj and Tzatziki are good as well. All dips are served with a warm Pita.

They have a great selection of lunch sandwiches for only $ 10. You get an option of soup or salad with your sandwich. I recommend the spinach and lentils soup or the Greek Salad.
I had the Mediterrarean Chicken Salad Sandwich. It is a delicious sandwich filled with chicken salad, cilantro hummus, cucumbers, sun dried tomatoes, onions and feta cheese on a pita.

Under the salad options my favorite is the Mediterranean Cobb Salad. A generous portion of diced tomatoes, avocado, onions, eggs, feta cheese, and kalamata olives on a bed of organic baby greens with honey balsamic dressing. Top if off with some Chicken Shawarma and you have a delicious meal.
The only drawback about this place is the time it takes for the food to come to your table. Especially during lunch, when they have a rush of people between 12-12:45 pm it is best to avoid else or be ready for a long wait time. Personally I okay with their service since this is not fast food and the food quality is good.
Food : Very Good
Ambience : Good
Service : Okay
