"My roommate and I decided to make a common Tuesday more fun by going on a local food adventure. We received great customer service, the food was fresh, they followed our special requests, and I really appreciate restaurants that don't use styrofoam takeout boxes. For dinner, I ordered the gyro with side salad, garlic fries, baklava, and a BLTA with side salad for my lunch tomorrow. The gyro was filled to the brim and very satisfying. The seasoning is pretty light on all of the food, which is good if you are particular about certain flavors, because you can always add more to your own taste. The fries were crisp, but had a soft interior, and had plenty of fresh minced garlic. The side salad consisted of simple greens, tomato, and craisins; I'd recommend enjoying it with a vinaigrette (I got dressing on the side, but I ended up using my own balsamic vinaigrette at home and it was a lovely pop of brightness). I checked my BLTA and it had a nice medium toast on the sourdough with some high quality, perfectly crisp bacon; I can't wait for lunch tomorrow. My roommate ordered the falafel with potato salad (the non-creamy kind), a falafel wrap for lunch tomorrow, a side of baba ghanoush and mint lemonade to wash it all down. We appreciated the attention to detail; the mint sprig and little sliced strawberry garnish for the baklava, the foil under the salad greens (so the dressing doesn't soak the container), labeling the bleu cheese container (because nobody wants to confuse that for tzatziki), and the small pick that held the gyro together so it wouldn't fall apart; much appreciated. My birthday is coming up, so I think eggs benedict and a Bellini (or two) are on the horizon. Great job, Zaina's Bellini Café Team! *I took a few quick photos, but they don't do the food justice."
