The Mediterranean Chickpea

Since I found this spot five years ago, every trip to Tampa begins with a stop here!It's delicious and fresh. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. I had the falafel bowl with some extras. I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, so don't let the menu scare you off. Give them a shot. It's a great spot for lunch or takeout. Affordable for the quality. Cilantro-jalapeno hummus is still my favorite. When I next stop in, I'm going to try some of the bread.

food was delicious!! the sweet woman gave me testers of the dips without me asking. Everything was so fresh and the falafel was made to order, and so delicious! I will definitely be making the trip just to go here again!

Nothing but good things to say about this establishment. The couple that owns it are very friendly and hard working, willing to accommodate their customers in any way they can and the best part is that the food is perfection. I couldn't control myself and had to try so many different items and take a bunch to go because it was so delicious! Lots of varieties of hummus and salads. Don't forget the baba ghanoush, my favorite!! This will be my must stop place whenever I am in Tampa. The cafe is small and quant but they do have a few tables if you would like to stay and eat. Most people I noticed take to go.

Such a lovely place, so glad I found this while looking for a quick lunch the other day. You can tell everything is made in-house and the owner is so sweet!! She let me and my girlfriend try every single dip (hummus, roasted red pepper hummus, beet hummus, cilantro jalapeño sauce, babaganoush) just because it was our first time there. I noticed they had their Top 100 vegan restaurants in the USA Yelp award on display, and I definitely think it was well deserved. The portions are sizable, and everything tasted great.

The homemade bread and hummus were the best we had ever had. We cannot wait to go back and try many more of their other items.

Amazing Food Service! Best Falafel and hummus ever! We can't wait to visit again and try the Baklava.

This place is fantastic. Their food is excellent, their service is so kind, and everything you eat there makes you feel reassured that healthy eating options can actually be delicious. I LOVE their hummus and babaganoush the best.

Best Hummus Ive ever had, fattoush, and home made bread! It is obvious these are dishes made with love. The lady behind the counter was also one of the nicest people too.

On a mission to find the best falafel in Tampa and we're one step closer! Mediterranean Chickpea literally feels like you're in a family home and someone's cooking you a homemade meal. I'll be honest, I was a little concerned when I saw them put the falafel in the air fryer before serving it to us--I assumed it would be dry and not taste fresh. However, from a scale of "I bought this at the grocery store" to "I'm not in Florida anymore" ... we gave the falafel a solid 3.5!!! It was crispy but not crunchy and pretty moist on the inside. and BRIGHT GREEN!We loved the quinoa salad -- there's dried cranberries or prunes or something like that in it which adds some amazing sweetness. The roasted red pepper hummus was delicious and i'm looking forward to trying the other flavors. The beans were good, but I'd probably swap that to try something else next time since I loved everything else.

I have truly been everywhere in Florida and have tasted hundreds of different Mediterranean places, But THIS PLACE. This one right here. Is the BEST one. I promise!!! If you have discovered it you have found what you have been looking for. WOW. Literally have been coming here since 2018!!! The reviews don't lie, she has 5 stars for a reason. That's how crazy it is. My taste buds explode with flavor, passion and happiness with every single bite. Truly made with love, it's sooo delicious you will not be disappointed. Get the mezze platter and get hummus, add what she has available that day for options, and get it with the Zatar bread, Your taste buds are about to go to flavorville. Plus there's so many options for the platter and that way you can try it! This is authentic, You can just taste it. Also the falafel wraps are incredible, the best falafel I have ever had. Crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned, she nails it every time. Thank you for being here for our community! We all love you!!!
