It’s like DeKalb is a real city now!!! Decent damn good ethnic food that is actually healthy. For once Lovey and I can say to each other ‘lets go out for a nice meal’ and not have to either settle or go out of town….

The following is quoted from the Northern Star’s DeKalb Scene section;

Mediterraneo Grill, 122 E. Lincoln Highway, opened on Oct. 31, making it the newest restaurant in DeKalb that caters primarily to vegetarians…

The restaurant specializes in Middle Eastern cuisine, which is vegetarian by nature. Moe Mroueh, one of Mediterraneo’s owners, maintains that one of the primary reasons for serving the food is to emphasize healthy eating.

So far, DeKalb seems to have taken to the concept.

“I go through so much falafel, it is not even funny,” Mroueh said. “I was surprised how many vegetarians there are [in DeKalb].”

Mroueh explained that the shop does serve some meat, but most of the entrées are vegetarian, and many are even vegan friendly.

Mroueh also expressed that he has seen a lot of positive attention so far, including some of NIU’s resident vegetarians.
