SINBAD RESTAURANT – Middle Eastern
Sinbad has fed Merritt Island Mediterranean food for close to thirty years from a counter on North Courtenay Parkway - family-owned, fast-service, and far more serious than the fast-food framing suggests. Gyros, chicken kebabs and falafel carry the menu, with wraps, burgers, sandwiches and combo meals filling it out, and more than thirty vegetarian options including a hummus regulars rate highly. Diners keep mentioning the freshness and the boldness of the seasoning, and the staff by name. Weekday lunch into early evening. Long-running, unglamorous, and reliably good.
