Kopita - Knoxville

Go! the season was amazing. also the owner is a nice guy and told me that they use a separate friyer for all the Dieir flakes and those when they take care of it.

We had a great lunch here. We ordered a falafel bowl, eggplant pita, babaganouj bowl a spinach boreka. We loved it all although I thought the Israeli salad that came with the falafel bowl was a little bland. The pita bread was fluffy perfection. They pour olive oil over the babaganouj which wasn’t necessary I would ask them not to next time I’m back. They also may have added extra oil to the eggplant pita but I’m not sure. It was definitely on the drippy, oily side but it was still really good. It wasn’t clear to me how to tip. You order at the counter the iPad gives you tipping options for 18%, 20% or 30% (or Other) which seems high for counter service, but then they bring the food to you and bus your table. We definitely enjoyed our meal will come back next time we’re in Knoxville now I know to ask them not to add extra oil. Updated from previous review on 2021-01-09

I cannot rave enough about this place! They did have separate vegan and meat store fronts for a while, but it was unsustainable, unfortunately. That said, the vegan options are still there, and still amazingly tasty. The pitas and baba ghannouj are enough to keep me coming back (seriously, I pick some up whenever I am in the area), but the cauliflower bowl, the israeli salad, the veggie shwarma all so good. We showed up over Thanksgiving weekend with a large crew and let the chef just make whatever he wanted and we were not disappointed, even though I can't name half of what was put in front of me. Just let them know you're ordering vegan, and they will make sure you are happy. Love this place!!

Some meat options available but mostly a vegan menu! The vegan shawarma is bomb and the falafel bowl is amazing! I took my food and ate it at Alliance Brewing down the street.

Really enjoyed this place as a vegan restaurant but now it also has meat so I've not been back.
