South Tampa’s Vegan Restaurant Serving Healthy Middle Eastern Cuisine

From Catering to a Thriving Restaurant. A lifelong passion for crafting fresh food has allowed Mouna Alchabad to seamlessly transition from running a successful catering business to opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant in 2018.

Alchabad’s dedication to creating delicious Mediterranean meals at The Mediterranean Chickpea has now been nationally recognized. Yelp recently ranked the restaurant as the #1 vegan eatery in Florida and the #2 in the nation. The mother-daughter duo, Alchabad and Maya Alzaiem, operate the restaurant with the same love and care they put into their own home kitchen.
