    My first time there since moving to Laguna Niguel. I have to say they hands down have the best Hummus I have ever had. They had no problem and did not charge for more Pita to finish it off I had the Salmon Bowl which was enough for two. The only thing is that the want to charge 25 dollars corkage fee if you bring your own wine. It isn’t that fancy of a place to do that. Maybe 10 is fair there. Or they should offer free corkage night to attract customers or do once a week half off on bottles?

    Appetizer hummus sampler was wonderful, so was the cauliflower and date appetizer. We had falafels added to our salad. Probably the worst falafels I ever had. So dry, probably a week old. Service was quick and courteous. We do really like this restaurant.

    Really enjoy the food and value of the meal. The pesto hummus, cauliflower and dates, and eggplant dip are great appetizers worth trying.
