Middle Eats currently operates out of a kitchen in Downtown and they do take-out orders but how often am I really in downtown? I’ve been following them on Instagram and to my happy surprise, they are doing a stint at the UHM campus! Maybe not enough fanfare going on. I hit them up last week and spoke with the very nice young gentleman, I asked how business was and he said it wasn’t as busy as they would like. I asked if they have to give a semester commitment to gauge if they would stick around, I think they don’t have to do long-term commitments so if you wanna try, better go fast! Here’s the schedule for food trucks at UHM.

Menu | January 2025

I had to ask at first, is it the difference between a mini and regular plate? LOL. It’s actually the price of the plate or a gyro. Duh! Look at the top of the sign but I didn’t make that connection…guess us locals are just too used to regular versus mini plate prices. But look at those prices. I’m sorry, but I can’t see students being able to afford to eat here a lot. I wanted to get a plate but it was a bit too pricey for me so I went for the Lamb Kofta Gyro for $15.00.

Lamb Kofta Gyro | $15.00

Upon first glance, didn’t look so great. But it’s actually a big portion and was very filling. I enjoyed it a lot. The lamb tasted great with the gamey taste I like. There was a almost neon green sauce he poured on, not sure what it was but I don’t think I like that sauce too much. Other than that, it was good!

Cumin Fries with Garlic Toum | $8.00

They have an 8 dollar menu, I guess it’s supposed to be a value? $8.00 for fries? I don’t know, I’m not trying to be a negative sue but that’s not cheap. But I also get that all food costs are so expensive now and they have to make a profit. While my lunch was a bit pricey, the gyro and the fries were absolutely delicious. I loved it! Maybe I can check them out again after payday…lol
