Malelani Cafe

New to the neighborhood🧡 #Lunchtime #EatLocal Great menu and great service. Smoothie Options were great. 🫐 The best black bean hummus I’ve had on this side of town. #WarmPita #Winning I’m looking forward to visiting experience the live music. 🎶

Stopped in with the family for a quick lunch after a Google search for Mediterranean food. The menu online looked good, so we thought we'd check it out. It was incredible! The food was fresh, flavorful and authentic. The chef/owner was very friendly and hospitable. The other employee was extremely soft spoken and we didn't really hear/understood what he said as he brought us our drinks. Our interactions with him were limited and we were able to tell what was who's based on how it looked. Our group of four ordered 1 appetizer, 1 bowl, 2 platters and a pita sandwich. Three in our group ordered specialty iced teas. It was plenty of food despite us all being quite hungry and we even took home some leftovers. The spanokopita we ate at home was to die for. Not one single menu item was average or disappointed us. It was all delicious. My only two complaints are that 1) we don't live nearby to come here more often and 2) a tarot card reader stationed in the restaurant felt out of place (hence the 4 for atmosphere).

Met a colleague here for lunch and was met with a friendly smile and quick service. The coffee is great and the food is spectacular. I had the Shwarma Chicken Bowl. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the rice was delicious, and the tahini dressing was amazing! I will be back to try more anytime I'm in the area. We sat outside to work and the street noise was very good even with steady traffic at the intersection. The patio was gardened and the tables and chairs were comfortable for lunch and a meeting and a little work afterward. This is a great location for a casual lunch for business or personal.

Nicest people on the block! also the best espresso in that part of the city and tiramisu to die for. Always feel healthy and happy when I leave here. Also they have live music couple times a week and the open mic is super welcoming

This place is awesome! They give you delicious, flavorful food and big portions. I really enjoyed the Chicken Bowl.

I went here for lunch and got the spicy shawarma platter and falafel appetizer. The platter was delicious with lots of complimentary flavors and plenty of healthy food. The falafel were a little dry and not as crispy as I would have liked, as I believe they were baked and not fried, though they tasted good. Good, cozy atmosphere

Delicious food and vibes. Chicken shawarma platter was excellent, and thanks for the extra pita. Loved the casual and inviting atmosphere for the Thursday night Open Mic. I'll be back.
