THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Pasha's Restaurant Review:

This innovative, locally-based chain, which began as a Harvard Business School project, offers a glimpse into what the world of fast food would be like if only the foods were as tasty, fresh ingredient-driven and healthy as they were fast. Creative light bites and heartier entrées, inspired by Eastern Mediterranean cuisines but not actually from those countries, are served in a variety of settings appropriate to their neighborhoods. Food comes nearly as quickly as at greasy burger chains, but contains no preservatives, MSG or trans fats. We recommend the sprightly "eggselent wraps" (with chicken breast sausage, onions, tomatoes, eggs, green pepper, Mediterranean cheese, and harissa sauce), which beat breakfast burritos hollow for flavor as well as healthfulness; the simit, a thin sesame bagel; the custardy borek (a lighter, fresher version of Greek spinach pie); and pides, individual boat-shaped pizzas with thin crusts and a variety of toppings. Desserts like the nutelino (a lightened, less cloyingly sweet take on baklava) are also a treat, as are the many fresh-squeezed juices, especially tangerine. Note: This location is both full service and self-service.
