I've been eating here for years since moving to AZ in '03, although it's been at least a year since I've visited this PJ location. The hummus served here is one of the three best I've tried in the area (the other two were Sabuddy's (RIP) and Persian Room (nothing close to the first two, though). It's been awhile since I had hummus (*allergy), but I seem to recall liking Persian Garden's, as well. But I digress...\n\nTried the smoked salmon wrap, and the mussels (a seafood special). Also liked the hummus w/ chicken, w/c came with a couple of tomato wedges. Would've liked a bit more! Didn't like how they charge for extra pitas. Curried chicken and potato lavosh is pretty tasty! Liked their black bean burger, but it's been so long since I tried it that I cannot comment on whether it's house-made, or just a frozen patty from a major distributor. All I can say that it was muy delicioso! Spanakopita app was good, but portions were small. Ooh, try the red bell pepper hummus... delicious!! If you don't mind spicy, the jalapeno hummus isn't bad. \n\nDesserts tend to be good, too. Tried a raspberry cheesecake that was particularly flavorful and silky-smooth, and the vegan carob peanut butter shake (made w/ frozen yogurt), w/c, at the time, was only available at the Tempe location, was a treat on many levels! I inquired if Chandler's were vegan, as well, but they're not (chocolate syrup), so I didn't try.\n\nJazz on Thursdays was cool, but the belly dancer I saw on a Saturday was very much a beginner... She seemed very nervous. I hope she continued with it and is now enjoying success.
