This new spot is an offshoot of the Paramount Restaurant group.  Fresh East is a quick, healthy way to grab a snack, lunch or easy dinner.   Today I brought along my new editor-in-chief Saresa Freer, who also is a vegetarian and brings a fresh approach to my blog and all the restaurant events together  – welcome to the foodie blogger world!

Right now I am obsessed with salty yogurt based drinks – Ayran being my go-to brand.  Love it.  Looking at the menu I notice something new called “Sandwich-in-a-Bowl”.  Nothing to decipher, it’s exactly as it reads and perfect for those on a carb-free diet.   And of course I had to try a wrap!  Chicken shawarma with everything but the heat, seasoned with salt & pepper and Zaatar sauce.  Wrapping up this review is easy because I love the food and also the service.  The aroma of exotic spices is enough to draw me directly to Fresh East – even if I was in the mood for a sandwich and Subway was next door.  And the desserts, so much more tasty than the same boring cookies.

Looking forward to more locations towards the west end of the city.  🙂
