This a definite and cheaper alternative to my favorite ravioli dish in CPK (which is close to 600 pesos now!). I loved
the restaurant's interiors and quirky plates and table settings.
Must come back to try their cocktails.

Mezze
Had a simple yet sinful ravioli in Mezze the other day. The exact name and price of the dish escapes me right now.

Cafe Mediterranean
Appetizer Sampler Php160
You can choose any 3 of the appetizers they have, which they serve in smaller sizes with 2 plain pita breads.
The black one is the tapenade which is made of “minced black olives, capers and olive oil from Provence.” I liked this one, not very ‘dip-like’ more of a filling kind of thing.
The white one is the hummus which is made from garbanzos. Of the three, this was my favorite and was the most addicting one, to be honest you wouldn’t know it was made of garbanzos if you didn’t know you were eating hummus. It was the most dip like too! It was described in the menu as "a classic garbanzo and sesame dip from the middle east."
The green one is the tzatziki which was made of cucumber, garlic and mint. This was very refreshing. I don’t normally like mint flavors in my food, but I couldn’t detect that in this dish! "Cucumber, yogurt and mint."
Kofta Burger Php120
Described as "spicy grille dbeef and lamb" I didn't quite find this as special as it was supposed to be. It was to have kofta
(which are ground vegetables made to look like meatballs) and lamb.
I don't think there was much lamb in this dish. Also, I found a bone in the burger, so you be the judge!
Kofta Gyro Php95
I got this one in regular but in wheat bread. It was okay, better than the kofta appetizer they have. I love that what I'm eating are so healthy!
Beef Gyro Php105
Picture was taken from previous post because I was not able to take a proper picture. In my opinion, this is better eaten in wheat bread.

Cafe Mediterranean
Finally! Cafe Med has opened a branch in the mall nearest me, albeit in a "cursed" space....hehe. Service was a bit unorganized but that's okay since they only opened this week anyway. One thing that bothered me though is that they didn't have receipts yet.
Anyways, here are what we ordered for a very late lunch and an early dinner.
Kofta Php 90
I wasn't sure on how to eat this. So we just rolled them into little balls. Good but I'd probably try all the other appetizers in the menu first before I order this again.
Special Falafel Gyro in Wheat Php 125
It was good, but hard to eat. Falafel are fried mushed garbanzo beans which they had rolled into balls. It really is very messy to eat. Maybe next time I'll eat the falafel seperately from the wrap? I don't know.haha
Special Roast Beef Gyro in Regular Break Php 90
All that business about special and regular cna be confusing. Special gyros mean that you have pickles and fries (2 pcs!) in the wrap. Plus, you could get your gyro in regular bread (white pita) or special bread (wheat). Confusing for the order takers.hehehe.... This one was easier to bite into, but had less of that distinct Mediterranean taste that one would look for when eating here.
