"What a hidden gem! I was looking for Mediterranean cuisine nearby and discovered Larsa Cuisine. After trying Mediterranean dishes from many places, I can confidently say this is my favorite! Everything is incredibly fresh and delicious, and I find myself coming back three times a week! I highly recommend it! As others have mentioned, don’t let the nearby gas station fool you; this place is immaculate and absolutely worth a visit! Your lentil soup is..."

"This is a very nice place to go for some breakfast. It feels fancy but the prices are average. The restaurant is always clean anytime I go. Looks gorgeous inside. One of the times, there was a man playing the piano and it made the experience a billion times better. The only negative I have is that the biscuits I got (biscuits and gravy) were undercooked. They were very doughy inside and it was a little tough to finish."

"It was my first at Sweet Berry. I had the cold plate (tuna salad, chicken salad, slaw, avocado and cottage cheese on lettuce). I also ordered a side of corned beef hash and multigrain toast. I wish I knew how great the food was here. I always hesitated as I didn’t want the usual. The avocado had a little brown on it but everything on the “plate” was great. The corned beef hash was a little salty but I still finished it haha. It was good on the lettuce lol. The toast was a little burned but my, the jam that came with it makes me think it’s homemade. It’s delish. The serving portion’s enough for the price I paid. It was a lot…but addicting. Haha What’s impressive is that the moment you come in, it feels like there is a viral smile going around. Everyone ‘s just smiling and it felt great especially in the morning. I also noticed they have a lot of options for those who have dietary restrictions. Fab! That’s why I’m coming back. I’ve been wanting those french toasts and crepes and those benedicts and skillets. Yum."

"I came in with a group of friends. This was our first time in downtown Elgin, and we were excited to grab a coffee. We waited to be seated until a lady came up and very frustrated told us to sit anywhere. My friend wanted to leave as soon as she heard her tone. But I told her to ignore it, maybe she was having a bad night. We sat down, and the lady shoved us our menus. I obviously began to feel uncomfortable, but we sat and waited. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to enjoy a coffee since they never came to attend us. She only came over until she saw we got up to leave. Maybe this is a great place, but sadly we didn’t get to experience it."

"My honey and I went for breakfast today and the place was crazy busy but we were seated promptly. Our waitress was a 'Rock Star! ' She was an older lady. I didn 't get her name. She has awesome customer service skills. Food came out fast. Our food was cooked to perfection! I will definitely come back when I 'm back in Elgin. I will also recommend your restaurant to my friends and family!"
