I work downtown and absolutely adore it. One of the best parts of the city is the little mom and pop hole-in-the-wall places like Harmonie Way. A friendly, unassuming place that offers up fresh food from the heart at reasonable prices.
Harmonie Way specializes in middle eastern fare. They have delicious hummus, tabbouli, grape leaves, falafel and fattoush. Surprisingly they also offer lovely heaping platters of fish such as salmon croquettes and whiting filets. My favorite bargain lunch here is the small tabbouli salad with grilled chicken and a side of garlic sauce they include free if you ask. It is served with either one or two pieces of pita bread depending on how many you want. All this fresh and healthiness for a mere five bucks and it will indeed fill you up. The chicken schwarma pita is an super popular selection every time I am in there but I am hooked on the salads and hummus.
For those less health concious the cheeseburger and fries are a mere 3.99 and quite popular with my coworkers, I cannot vouch for the burger but the coated fries were crispy and uniquely tasty when I sampled some from a friend.
The owner is wonderful, very sweet as is the cook. They remember you if you come in frequently and no matter how busy they are they are always patient with everyone, often throwing in things if they feel your wait was a bit too long.
There is quite a beverage selection, including Arizona brands as well as the downtown fave Ginseng Up in assorted flavors. I am so happy they now carry a diet root beer which started after I commented on a lack of sugar free variety. That is just the kind of thing you love about a place like this, they really listen to and care about what a customer is looking for.
