Service was great. Food is low quality. 90 percent of the items are deep fried. The coconut rice was very strange, did not even taste like coconut. The rice quality was poor and overcooked. The bomba bowl was soggy and not fresh. The Portuguese Brazilian cheesy bread was deep fried. The sweet potatoes in the tacos were deep fried. How about roasting the vegetables and actually cooking the food with to maintain nutrients and enhance flavors. The skinny margarita seemed to have an overwhelming flavor of orange juice. I assumed lime was the key ingredient last time I checked. The good news is they offer Gluten free options with corn products. But likely everything is GMO and toxic food stuff.
The food was exceptional. Being gluten free, I have found Mediterranean restaurants are often a safe, flavorful and healthy option. This place surpassed any experience or expectations. I ordered the Samke Harra, it was packed full of flavor. It was a good size meal yet I wasn't left feeling heavy. The others in my group ordered the Lamb platter and Chicken Shawarma. Both meals were raved about. The tabbouleh salad that came with the lamb platter - it was out of this world how fresh it was. You can sense and taste the hours spent crafting meals with love and care. This is a place we will be going back to.
The owner came to greet us during our meal, which was thoughtful. I felt this level of care and attention was equally represented in the cleanliness of the place and perfection of the meals.
I began to transition off animal foods about 3 years ago. For about the last year I have 99% vegan (maybe a dozen meals involving animal products), and I have been fully vegan for about 90 days. Over these last few years, I found it frustrating at how few options I had at various places, so it is a massive relief to find a place I can order literally anything on the menu.
But it is not just that this place only serves vegan food, it is also how good it is. The spring rolls were phenomenal and HUGE, the dumplings were amazing, the filling in particular was extremely well seasoned and tasty (the wrapper was a little different probably because it is vegan, but still extremely good) I then had a main course of a mixed vegetables and shrimp with their general tso's equivalent. The shrimp were almost like the real thing, they reminded me of fake crab meat that is used in sushi, what was odd is they replicated the texture and especially the fishy taste. The fishiness was so realistic it was somewhat off-putting (but that is not a bad thing for people looking for a replacement)
The Tsos "chicken" though was to die for, I have not had something this realistic since the last time I had actual general tsos with chicken. It also didn't go out of its way to completely replicate the texture, so there wasn't an uncanny valley experience with the food where it was too much like the real thing. It was fluffier but still with a similar texture, delicious fry breading, and amazing sauce -- just freaking phenomenal sauce with tons of peppers. The mixed veggies were also amazingly fresh, rice was great.
This is some of the best food I have had in years, definitively the best vegan food I have had. The food was also extremely hot and fresh, I could tell nothing was left sitting around. The wait staff was also amazing. The only complaint I have could also be seen as a massive compliment and that is that the shrimp are simply too realistic, they did too good a job with them.
I told my server that it was very very very very good, about that many times, and I mean it. I will definitely be coming back, I just hope I can convince my non-vegan friends to join me. Though one thing that might help is one of them has gluten sensitivities and they serve plenty of gluten free options for them, clearly marked (which is a huge plus!)

I go often enough. It is about 20 miles away and I pass other pizza shops to get there. It is worth it! My husband likes regular pizza, with lots of toppings. I like the gluten free pizza. I have never reacted, and I have celiac.
I have to eat gluten free meals so sharing for anyone interested in GF meals. There are limited gluten free options for dinner - salads and a pork chop entree. The pork chop entree was tasty and the salads are very good. The servers were knowledgeable and shared the gluten free note with the kitchen. The service is very friendly and I like the decor and atmosphere. I enjoy eating here for lunch and dinner.
GF OPTIONS ALERT! 🚨
Avola did not disappoint! They have great outdoor seating, their food was delicious, and the atmosphere was quaint.
I got their gluten free carbonara and the wait staff was so helpful.
10/10 would eat here again.
I was told by a child that I had to give this place 5-stars because they have the “best gluten free pizza EVER”. Plus it comes with a separate little mini pizza-slicer, which is super cute.
This food is amazing! Probably the best authentic mexican I have found in this area. Their menu has a variety of options, all amazing. I’ve order pickup, delivery, and dine in and all three options have always been exceptional. I am also gluten free and feel safe eating their tacos on a corn tortilla. My family enjoys their burritos, quesadillas, and guacamole! Definitely a must try.
I recently had a wonderful dinner at Joey Chops and the staff and kitchen were knowledgeable about gluten free preparation. They also had gluten free bread. I had filet mignon and broccolini. The server was knowledgeable about the items that could be made gluten free. The service was attentive and friendly. I enjoyed my dinner here very much.
