Across from BB&T, Seiramis Grill offers a unique menu at a reasonable price
By Cori Simpson, Features Co-Editor
The small white building on the corner of Main Street and John Street never stays vacant for long. Just four months ago, it made the transition from Italian to Mediterranean cuisine.
On a lovely day, the quaint seating area in the front of the restaurant can be enjoyable (as long as you are not opposed to occasional sirens that blare from the nearby fire station). Large umbrellas offer customers the choice of sunshine or shade while dining.
Welcome to Seiramis Grill. Seiramis Grill is the place to find, kofka (seasoned beef ), falafel (patties of spiced fava beans), shawarma (marinated chicken, slowly roasted and served as a sandwich), tsatziki (healthy dip made of yogurt, cucumber, mint, garlic, and olive oil), baba ghanouj (grilled eggplant puree with spices), and hummus (pureed chickpeas and other spices).
The restaurant plans to add more vegetarian options for customers as well as a new catering service especially for the McDaniel College community.
“With the website,” owner GK Gabrey explains, “we will be able to deliver lunch for staff and students who place an order the day before.”
Customers can pay by credit card and the food will then be delivered the following day between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m.
Seiramis Grill has a small booth and flat screen TV inside the restaurant for a party of one or two.
There is an air conditioning unit in the window, but if it is turned off, customers can expect it to be rather warm in the dining area since it is only a few steps away from the kitchen.
The employees are friendly and the service is prompt.
Prices range from roughly four to ten dollars and the menu is meant to satisfy both vegetarians and meat eaters.
