Although Mediterranean cuisine has many dishes that include meat, there is always some vegetarian options.

They have a great appetizers' selection. I shared with my family homemade Falafel and Cauliflower Zahra:
 
Homemade falafel: Five patties of fava beans, chick peas, cilantro, garlic and onion blended and served with a parsley tahini sauce.

Cauliflower Zahra: Roasted cauliflower seasoned with garlic,
chopped tomato and cilantro served with tahini sauce

There is always a salad on the side:

Koshary: A dish of Egyptian rice, lentils, cumin and Mediterranean herbs topped with sautéed onion and cucumber yogurt.

Krass pastry plate (Spinach, onion and feta cheese in a flaky phyllo pastry served with herb spiced rice and grilled vegetables.
