Food Friday: Hummus Mediterranean Cafe

I am a fan of Mediterranean food. I know it’s odd but I just love how the flavors come together. I finally had a chance to try Hummus Mediterranean Cafe a few weeks ago with family and we loved it.

We started with the plain hummus with warm pita. This was amazing. It’s hard to find good hummus unless it’s made fresh, and they make theirs every day. The warm pita worked so well with that fresh hummus, I could have eaten so much more if given the chance. While Miss Mae ordered the Akawi pie, me and Big K ordered the combo platter with Kofta and Shish Tawook. We also all got the mint lemonade as something different to drink. Because of a bigger order for a table before us, it took a bit longer than normal but the food was worth the wait. Let’s start with the Akawi pie, this is like a Mediterranean version of a pizza. Akawi is a brine cheese named after the Palestinian town Akki (now part of Israel). I had a bite, it was good. The cheese has a Feta type consistency and flavor. Overall, Mae loved it. The combo platters we ordered were good as well. They came with vermicelli rice, grilled vegetables, and baba ghannouj with pita. Kofta is a type of meatball with spices. Shish Tawook is marinated chicken, grilled to a perfection. Everything on this platter was amazing. The rice was perfect, the Kofta was good as was the Shish Tawook. Big K loved his platter as well. As for the mint lemonade, this was different, but it works. You have the fresh lemonade with the freshness of mint. It was just a flavor explosion that I had never experienced before but would definitely drink again.

We had a great night, just sitting as a family and enjoying a good meal. They are a bit hard to find if you don’t know what you are looking for, tucked into the corner of a strip mall. They also have a second location in Moore. I am ready to visit again to try more options on their menu. I am giving them 5 strips of bacon.

Address: 3000 W. Memorial Rd., Oklahoma City; 811 SW 19th St., Moore.

Food Friday: Crimson Melt

I’ve been getting ads for Crimson Melt for quite a while now. I kept wanting to go there but never got a chance. I don’t get to Moore often, I usually drive through getting to Norman or places further south. A few weeks ago everything aligned and I finally got to try Crimson Melt. Once again, another place I should have visited earlier.

Stopped on a Saturday afternoon, their menu is mostly grilled cheeses. From just a straight up grilled cheese to custom melts with chicken, ham, bacon or BBQ. I decided to try just the basic grilled cheese, The Tetrahedron, just to try them out. If you can get a grilled cheese right, then you can do anything. Big K got crazy with the heat and ordered a Flashover. We also shared fried mac and cheese bites as well as their fried cheese curds. The food came out quicker than I expected, but obviously that’s not a bad thing. Everything was hot and fresh. First thing I had to try were the fried cheese curds. These were amazing, had the proper squeak to the curds. The breading complimented the curds as did the ranch that came with them. Next up I started on the fried mac and cheese bites. These can be touchy to get right and the Crimson Melt stepped up to the challenge. The Gouda cheese used had a nice tang, plus the pasta was cooked perfectly. I loved these as much as I loved the cheese curds. Now onto my grilled cheese, the sourdough was toasted perfectly. The cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone melted well with some parmesan in the mix to give the sandwich a tang that was unique. The Flashover that Big K tried was equally as good. I did have a bite, I’ll be ordering it the next trip. It has cheddar melted with jalapeno cream cheese and bacon on sourdough. Even comes with a strawberry jalapeno dipping sauce that also was tried out with the curds. He thought it was a little on the spicy side but thought it was awesome.

The Crimson Melt not only does the grilled cheese right but they also have those big specialty milkshakes. We were too stuffed to try them but I saw a couple that were ordered by other patrons, look really good. The restaurant was started by a retired United States Air Force fire chief in 2023. I really loved this place, every bite was amazing. Wish they were a bit closer than Moore but I guess I’m going to have to stop off whether I like it or not. I give them 5 strips of bacon, on a grilled cheese of course.

Address: 2100 N Eastern Ave., Suite 10 & 11, Moore.

Food Friday: Great Himalayan Indian Cuisines

I know I just reviewed an Indian food restaurant a few weeks ago but I got an opportunity to try another Indian buffet in Moore recently. We were right across the street from the strip mall the restaurant is located in, so we went to check it out.

They had a huge buffet set up, lots of food. I went for my favorites, of course, the samosas and pakora. The samosas were huge and flavorful but not to spicy. I loved the pakora here as well, filled with veggies. Their chicken tikka masala was great, some of the best I’ve had in the metro area. The sauce was heavier on cream than in other restaurants. The naan and rice were perfect. Really enjoyed their palak paneer as well, once again, more on the cream side than I’ve had before. They had lots of fresh veggies out on the buffet to compliment the prepared foods. Big K said his two favorite things were a red chili chicken and something with chickpeas (he couldn’t remember the names of either). He said they both were spicy.

Overall the Great Himalayan Indian Cuisines buffet is something to try. They do have a regular menu most of the time, the buffet is only on the weekend. Not hard to find the restaurant, it’s located in the big strip mall right to the west of I-35 south of NW 12th Street in Moore. They have been in business since 2021, so a newer addition to Moore. The service was great, kept our water cups filled and the buffet well stocked. I give them 5 strips of bacon.

Address: 709 N Moore Ave., Moore.
