Falafel &Gyro King

Just happened to be driving along Atlantic Blvd looking for something to eat. I Saw La Nopalera and decided and decided to stop even if it wasn't one of my favorite Mexican joints. As I pulled in I noticed a little strip mall behind the restaurant with a place called Falafel & Gyro King. I just had to check it out. I ordered the Meat Shwarma sandwich, the bread is called samoon and is eaten in Iraq. Also got some ground beef Samosas. I both were really good. There is also a middle eastern bakery/market next door. I'll have to check it out next time.

Ariana Kebab and Grill Jacksonville

Went to see Dead Pool and afterwards had some really great Afghan food at Ariana Kebab and Grill. This is the Qabili Palau with lamb and is considered the national dish of Afghanistan. It is amazing, the rice is amazingly seasoned, the carrots literally melt in your mouth. The raisins go surprisingly well and the tangy green sauce just tops it off. But speaking of Dead Pool I'll write my thoughts on it a little later. But yeah check it out.....the movie too :)

Had lunch with my cousin at Karam's Mediterranean Grill the other day. Good Stuff, I had the Shwarma Meat Plate with Falafel, Hummus and Pita. The Shwarma is very well seasoned and the hummus was well made. Also loved that it came with jalapenos and a red pepper. Definitely one of my top 5 places for middle eastern food in Jacksonville. I'll probably make a list later on. If you want to check it out the address is: 4241 University Blvd S, Jacksonville, FL 32216

Update: 09/26/2021 Seems that this location is now closed. Will def miss the great food.
