It has an extensive menu selection of Mediterranean food and friendly staff. I would have to say that the dips are the star of the show. Getting a combination of a couple or doing one of their platters that gets you a variety is key. The pita bread comes out hot and you can easily share with friends and debate on the best one. The grilled platter we got was also good. The meat wasn't as juicy as I would have liked it, but it hit the Mediterranean flavors well. The rice was more sweet and dry than I typically like my rice, but went well with the meal. The day after it was not good at all though, so that got some point deductions for me. Overall, if you're craving Mediterranean at a chill spot, it's not bad, but it's not the best. I would say 3.5 overall, but 4 for the dips.

The salad will be always fresh and everything is portioned just right. Quality food with a great taste! I had made the mistake to order from the other place thinking the quality would be the same as here! So be careful to order from anywhere else -because this is the ONLY original Mediterranean place in Madison to order from! I highly recommend it for the atmosphere, the staff, the food, and the devotion that I've repeatedly seen and tasted! Definitely a great experience all around either dining in or getting delivery! Highly recommended from a longtime customer. My favorite is the lamb Shawarma plate and the yummy tea. the pistachio baklava! Yummy !!

I ordered the Chicken Kebab Plate with a Greek salad, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, the rice was delicious, and the salad was crisp with a generous amount of feta. To top it off, I grabbed some baklava for dessert, and it was amazing. My only complaint? I wish I had gotten more pieces! The staff was friendly, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. Easily a 10/10. No notes. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

Food was tasty and served like they were plating it for photos - looked good not just mashed together. It's a take a number and we'll bring your food kind of place yet the service was excellent. The server was attentive and helpful - suggesting with a baby we may want to sit outside since inside was a bit loud and crowded. Had baklava too but forgot to take a photo. $35 or so for the two menu items and baklava which felt like a little too much. Had a small handful of fries been included I would have been happier.

The stuffed grape leaves were wonderful- they didn't have meat in them, but the rice filling had the typical Greek seasonings and a nice hint of mint. For my main, I ordered the Chicken Shawarma. It came with either soup or salad and I picked the lentil soup even though it was 95 degrees outside. I thought it was quite good and might try to make at home sometime! The shawarma plate was huge! I think two people could have shared this and sadly, I couldn't finish it all. The pita bread was nice and fluffy and the chicken had a nice taste, although I expected it to maybe have paprika and hummus with it but it did not. The rice was fine - it didn't have too much flavor but was cooked well. Overall, I enjoyed eating here! The restaurant was kind of hot inside. They had fans going but I'm not sure if the air was working or if maybe they don't have air, but it was a little stuffy.

Food: A nice selection of pizza, split between ones with and without tomato sauce. I got the Lombarda which has Gorgonzola Cream, Pears and Apricot Glaze and Arugula. My wife got a cheese, sausage, mushroom and onion (CSMO). Both of them came out, pipe hot, with nice crisp crust. Nice presentation for both pizzas. They were both good, but I was a bit underwhelmed with the Lombarda. If it had Apricot Glaze, it wasn't very noticable, and maybe was the reason that it needed a bit of salt to enhance the toppings. The CSMO was very flavorful, and clearly the better of the two. Service: Super friendly and helpful service, both when ordering and when the food was delivered.
