Ambience: This was our first time dining in after the renovation, making the establishment look a bit wider. Since we were in the mood for a snack, we decided to check out their appetizers. As we looked at the prices for the variety of their hummus, we kept it simple and got our usual order. Lentil Soup: Pretty good! Just think monggo. If you like it, I'd recommend this. Hummus: One of the reasons why we love eating hummus (chickpea and sesame dip) at any branch is the bread coming in two pieces. Presentation was attractive and appetizing. Serving size was generous. Taste was simply perfect and I'll always love this dish, so much that I'd bring it to the movies instead of popcorn! Plain Lassi: I'm a fan of yogurt shakes! Sweet or salty, heck, I'll have it both ways! Service: They seemed pretty knowledgeable about their menu. We were asking for a simple soup recommendation and they suggested Lentil Soup, comparing it to monggo. That made our decision very easy! (for July 2018) read more

This place is located on the busiest mall of Makati (my opinion). Service and of course food are great. Take me back home. So if you need a quick break on this holiday shopping stop by and relax. read more

I LOVE greek food! However, despite having passed by Cafe Mediterrenean several times, I never thought of stopping because of its location. As it's right by the entrance, a lot of people walk in front of it and it is not perfectly lit. Today, I decided to give it a try. AMAZING! I got a chickpea wrap from the light lunch section (150php!!) and it was delicious! So creamy and the parsley was very fresh! The staff is very friendly and you can see the cooks at the kebab stand which is always entertaining. I'll definitely go again :) read more

A few years back, I was working in the Asian Institute of Management, which was just across the street from Greenbelt 1. I didn't have a shortage of places to eat during lunch break. In fact, my officemates and I are so flushed with choices, we had to make a Wheel of Fortune-esque contraption with the names of restaurants we like on it so we can just spin it when we're hungry. But there are times when I detest other people and just want to sit down while eating comfort food you can feel to your bones. That is when I sneak out of the office and eat in Cafe Mediterranean. It reminds me of Europe, with its rustic seating and Santorini aesthetic. The waiters are very nice, and the food...the food! Oh my god, those gyro platters are to die for. If you're being all moody and introverted like I was though, it's best to sit deep inside the restaurant, since the outer tables are in full view of anyone passing by. This is Makati, you're bound to run into someone you know. read more

Cafe Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - Makati, NCR

I always make sure to eat healthier choices if I can. A colleague of mine and I came from a meeting and looking forward to merienda and this is the first thing that came to our minds. "Diet tayo diba? O, sige, ayan na" We both ordered Hummus with chicken partnered with pita bread (P195). You can choose from the regular pita and the "healthier" option, whole-wheat pita bread. Motabal, Falafel, Foule and Hummus with pita bread (P275) for sharing. Both of us also ordered their Moroccan mint tea (P95). We enjoyed the food and the place because of its vibrant interiors. We had a great time chatting and unwinding after a long day over these comfort foods. read more

Cafe Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - Makati, NCR

This is one of the oldest establishments in Greenbelt and I've been eating here for more than 10 years. Their Greek-style gyros is the classic snack that keeps me coming back and at around P120 it's not badly priced at all. What makes it so good though is the garlic sauce that comes with it as well as the exotic spicy sauce. Aside from the gyros the rice plates are pretty good too and their thin-crust pizzas are too. As an appetizer I recommend trying their pitas with hummus or baba ganoush. Service is usually good and the dishes are served quickly. I've never had a problem with their wait staff. I prefer this one to the other branches because it has a more Mediterranean feel. I think it's due to the décor and the way the inside area is shaped. read more

Good choice for Mediterranean food in the Greenbelt mall in Makati. They have all the classics you would expect.

The food is below average quality and they are all way overpriced. Really really bad service. Nobody greet and seat me when I came. Then, the waiter got my order wrong. I ordered fish but he served me chicken, and then insisted that was what i ordered. He neither repeat nor confirm my order and then insist he was right. On top of that, he served me rice which cost me 70 PHP extra. The price quoted in the menu was for pita, not for rice. Nowhere in the menu I could see the price quote for rice, which later found out it is apparently in SMALL print at the BOTTOM of the menu. Again, the waiter did NOT confirm or explain the extra price to me. It is a common sense and standard practice that the waiter should repeat order in a clear manner, ESPECIALLY if there is an extra hidden price involved. In my case, what the waiter did was just merely ask "is this what you order, sir?" WITHOUT mentioning the item's NAME or the extra price, and then insisted that he has repeated my order!!!!!!!!!!!!! To add insult to injury, neither the staff nor his manager apologized when I complained about it on the spot, instead they kept arguing and insisted they were right. Very bad attitude read more

I discovered Cafe Mediterranean one night when every restaurants in the vicinity are almost packed. It was late, my friend and I were really hungry so he went on and said, "Let's go try that one, Cafe Mediterranean." I was a little hesitant at first, but I just wanted to eat and Cafe Mediterranean have an available table so.. I'm glad we tried it. Our food that night was a little less on the light choices like hummus, falafel pita, a more popular choice for Greek food, but more on the heavy like rice, meat and spices. We were really hungry :p We asked the server on what he could recommend, he said Grilled Chicken Mediterranean Style for me and Harissa Pork for him. Good discoveries btw. The chicken is coated and marinated in herbs and spices, its perfect to go with the Greek yogurt sauce they have. And the harissa Pork, pieces are bite size, spicy too! I'm not keen on spicy foods and have low tolerance to them.. but the dishes I've tried so far hits the right spot. Got to be back soon! read more

Great place to eat, I have been here several times and I have always been satisfy. All the dishes are good and the service is very correct. Place is casual and have nice atmosphere. Price are fair for the type of dishes they offer, definitely good value. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Ordered a gyro, figured it was the safest best for Mediterranean in the Philippines, boy was I wrong. The three tiny slivers of lamb came out cold along with my pita. No tzatziki sauce, asked for a side of it for my gyro (not sure why I wasn't served with my meal) then 10 minutes later they bring me a bowl of nasty shreds of cucumber. read more

"Sige na nga, Cafe Med nalang!" This is my family's cop-out answer when we're trying to go out for dinner but cannot agree where to go. :)) It's the place we know we'll all like. This restaurant just always has something good on the menu that can satisfy different palates. Although the flavors are wholly mediterranean, you can have your pick among savory beef and lamb dishes, all-spiced-up soups, pastas, pizzas, and your standard gyros and kebabs (but yummier and not that kebab-from-the-kanto-persian-place). My mom loves ordering hummus and pita with a bowl of their Lentil Soup or Roasted Vegetables Soup, because they're basically meals on their own! The soups are quite heavy and they pack in the flavor. My current favorite though is the Grilled Kofta Kebab, which I get with either buttered rice or couscous. It comes with a siding of this pickled vegetable thing that I didn't like at first but then LOVED when I gave it a chance, along with some grilled tomato and sweet onions. I used to have a Moussaka phase from here, and a Grilled Chicken Mediterranean Style phase too. :)) Both are still really good though. The Moussaka has well-packed layers of the meat, eggplant, and creamy/cheesy bechamel sauce. The Grilled Chicken has this gorgeous skin encrusted with so many herbs and spices that make it super unique, a little crunchy, and mega-dega flavorful. Like the Kofta, you can have it with rice, couscous, or a couple other choices. It's great because the amount of flavor packed on the outer parts doesn't take away from the inside, with the chicken meat remaining juicy and tasty, not dry and bland. Oh no, I think I'm craving for it again now... read more

Being a Vegetarian in this part of the world can be quite a challenge for a foodie like me. A typical conversation starts with me asking "Do you have anything Vegetarian-no meat, no Sea food, no pork, and no beef". "Yes Mam, we have salads and soups". It's difficult to explain that Vegetarian food need not be only salad or soups. The diehard foodie in me was determined to look for Vegetarian options (other than Indian food and of course Margarita Pizza) in this Island nation. One such discovery is the Cafe Mediterranean, which as the name suggests is a Mediterranean restaurant and one of my favorites. The restaurant is cozy and warm with a simple yet antique décor. They have an extensive vegetarian menu too choose from which is a feast for Veggies like me. They have lip smacking dishes which include simple starters like Hummus, Falafel, Baba Ghaonush to more exotic main course which includes the Gyros, Panini, Moussaka, Mediterranean Pizza and Pasta. They also have a great salad menu to choose from. Their menu keeps evolving and they keep introducing season specials. So every time you visit, there is something new to try. For starters I enjoy having the sampler plates, which gives you a choice of having a variety of their starters for price of one (you can choose a platter of 3, 4 or 5 of the starters). You have a choice of regular or whole wheat pita to go with the starters. For the main course my personal favorite is the Lentil burger or the Pesto Di Basilico or the Pesto Pizza with Pine nuts and Feta Cheese. The lentil burger with the home made yoghurt and the feta cheese pine nut pizza have a unique flavor that wants you to keep coming to this place. My recent favorite is their season special: the chickpea fritters and the chickpea wraps. And I forgot to mention their garlic and hot sauce which adds that extra punch to all the dishes that you order. They have a limited but interesting dessert menu with highlights being the Tiramisu, Panna Cotta and Baklava. My personal favorite is the Mediterranean pastry: Baklava which oozes with layers of pistachios and walnuts. This place is an Oasis for Vegetarians and is a perfect value for money. They have an excellent staff and the service is spot on. read more

Great falafel gyros and good hummus. The service was also good. The restaurant was not busy or loud. Would highly recommend the food.

I'm glad that Greek food in Manila is easily available. I think I'd be so sad if I could be my fill of Hummus. It goes to show that I start my meal right with Cafe Mediterranean's Hummus. You definitely can't go wrong! I go for the Whole Wheat Pita (cause I want to feel healthy). I switch this appetizer with Tabbouleh. This is so refreshing as it's like Greece's version of a salsa (its zesty). And then I go straight to the Gyros after. I either choose from the Grilled Beef, Grilled Lamb, or even the Falafel Gyro. You can really trust this place to deliver good service, not just through the staff but through their food. One thing I find funny though is that there are Italian dishes in a Greek restaurant. Maybe it's their own way of diversifying. Feast your eyes on good dessert such as Panna Cotta (my top favorite), Tiramisu and Baklava! For sure, you're going to have a good time in Cafe Mediterranean. read more
