Mediterranean & Middle Eastern menus -- frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a gyro and a shawarma?

Both are meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie and served wrapped, but gyro is Greek (traditionally lamb or a lamb-beef blend with tzatziki) while shawarma is Levantine/Middle Eastern (often chicken or beef with garlic sauce or tahini).

Why do mezze platters cost more than ordering one dip?

A mezze platter bundles multiple small dishes (hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, dolma) at a combined price that's usually a better value per item than ordering each individually, but higher than a single dip alone.

Is Mediterranean food generally priced lower than other sit-down cuisines?

Fast-casual Mediterranean chains tend to price close to other fast-casual concepts (Chipotle-adjacent), while full-service Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants price in line with comparable full-service American or Italian restaurants.
