Fandango Mediterranean Café offers fresh, flavorful food in a fun and friendly atmosphere. The chef and owner, Fred Salih, is as welcoming as a Mediterranean breeze and it’s difficult to feel anything but relaxed and satisfied while sipping a glass of wine and enjoying the Middle Eastern Salad sampler. The sampler includes Hummus, Black Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, Mama Ghanoush and Falafel, all served with a choice of regular or whole wheat pita bread. The creamy hummus, spicy and tangy mama ghanoush, and the smoky baba ghanoush pairs perfectly with a glass of white wine and the sounds of Gypsy Jazz and Bossa Nova that flavor the air on Wednesday nights. My friend Kristen Pace is a huge fan off the Indonesian Pasta Salad which is unlike anything I’ve experienced and tastes like a deconstructed Pad Thai with miniature pasta rings, sweet peanut sauce, crispy sesame chicken strips and scallions.
