It’s a crying shame that I’ve lived so close to Papa George’s Hy Mart Deli all this time without realizing that they offer some of the best sandwiches and wraps in town, until now.

Hys Mart is a small family run Mediterranean Deli. The mom, pop and son who run this place are super cool and have been in business for over 30 years. They make all kinds salads, deli style sandwiches and middle eastern specialties like gyro’s and falafel. Where they shine in my humble opinion is in their vegetarian specials. There’s at least 10 different vegetarian plates to choose from. Some of them come with feta cheese and/or labni yogurt, but they can make your order dairy free by request.

'Vegetarian Falafel Wrap

My favorite is the “Shahkloot Special”. It’s a large lavash wrap stuffed with tabouleh, olives, cucumber, mint, basil, avocado, hummus, falafel, tomato, pickles, tahina, lettuce and pepperchinis. The standard version minus my editing would also include feta cheese and onions. The owner told me that Shahkloot means basically throwing in everything that’s in the kitchen. It’s so good, and so big and makes for the perfect lunch… or dinner. I even picked a few up the other day to take on a picnic. My mom loved the chicken wrap she had as well, so consider this another place where you can eat comfortably with mixed company.

  1. OF COURSE foodeater reviewed it first! cutting edge vegan reporting, you were there WAY early. great picture as well. what’s weird is, i got a different sandwich, maybe even 2 different ones than you did…and they ALL look the same in each picture! anyways…i’m gonna start going through your old posts now. yum.

  2. quarrygirl: Yeah, most of their veggie options are pretty similar with one option having a little of this, and another having a little of that. I usually always order exactly what you see above, because it’s just absolutely perfect! I so love this place and the awesome family who runs it…
