I go there for the delicious Middle Eastern food, which, for a buffet, is amazingly fresh and tasty. It helps, of course, that the buffet is replenished frequently. It includes a wide variety of salads, hummus, pita, soup, protein, and desserts--and it's all delicious! If you have not been to the family-owned Mediterranean Cruise, the building itself is surprisingly large and impressive. It features a 25-foot or higher ceiling, a private dining area, and even space for belly dancing presentations. While Mediterranean Cruise offers Mezas, soups, salads, rice and hummus bowls, sandwiches, and more off the menu, you must try the buffet to truly appreciate the breadth of their offerings. Highly recommended.

I've been coming here for years, but lately it just hasn't the same…read more The food is still good, but not at the level it used to be. I have pretty high standards for Greek/Mediterranean food, and it just doesn't stand out anymore. The pita has been dry, although the hummus is still solid. The platters are fine overall, but nothing particularly memorable. Service has also been a bit underwhelming recently compared to past visits. That said, the atmosphere is still a highlight. The space feels very authentic with all the decor, and the belly dancers are always a fun touch. The patio is also nice if you're able to sit outside. Parking can be a little tight in their lot, but there's a ramp nearby which makes it easier.

The only thing I wish the price wasn't as steep when you add falafels the total was almost $18... basically the price of a sit down restaurant.. since it's a cafe, wish the price wasn't so steep.. my recommendation to make a discounts on add-on items to make people come here more often, because the food is actually good.. the service was good and friendly.

I got the mix gyro and chicken shawarma plate which included rice, salad, garlic dripping sauce, hummus and pita bread. The gyro and rice were seasoned well and had good texture. The chicken shawarma was a little sweet for my preference but it was nice and juicy. The hummus and pita bread were surprisingly my favorites! The hummus was creamy and smooth. The pita bread was toasted to be a little toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. My husband also the chicken kebab plate and really enjoyed it! The garlic dripping sauce was a little sweet for me but my husband finished his! The staff there is also very friendly and kind. The space had a few tables, maybe not ideal for large groups. Great for take out!

The gyro meat here is, IMO the true star, and when paired with their fresh lettuce, tomato, red onion and sauces it truly shines. It offers the right balance of pepper, hint of spiciness, alongside a nice crisp savory meatiness that can only be achieved on a proper vertical spit. My extra piece of advice, is get the spicy green sauce on the side. It offers that little extra jalapeño oomph alongside their creamy tzatziki and it's a perfect balance. Bit expensive to dine here for lunch too often so I try to keep it to every few weeks, but what a treat it is when I do allow myself to eat here for lunch. 5/5 goodness guaranteed!
