    Falafel Burger
    Erin F.

    I had heard great things about five stars Mediterranean from a friend, so I was excited to try it! Right off the bed I noticed they have several vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy free options and they have all the staples of a Mediterranean menu. It was hard to decide what to get. I chose the falafel burger, and we got the large hummus to share . The falafel sandwich had a good amount of falafel, which was really yummy, but I was underwhelmed by the other toppings.... The description made it sound like it had a lot of toppings, but I really only noticed lettuce and some pickles. It also could have used some more dressing, but I added some hummus, which made it better. It was on the smaller side so I would recommend getting an app if you are ordering one of their sandwiches for dinner-- however, the platter that my friend ordered was a good size and could be split between two people! My husband ordered the chicken Shawarma sandwich and commented it was good but also a bit dry. The hummus was good, but not the best we've tried. It lacks some flavor and the pita was on the drier, thinner side. It did have beautiful presentation with paprika and olive oil! Overall, this seems like a great family-oriented place with good service. It wasn't my favorite Mediterranean food in Cincinnati, but I would try more things on the menu.

    Nothing like a little family-run eatery on the way back to the airport. Service was super friendly. I ordered the beef shawarma, came with rice and salad, tasted amazing. Shared tabbouleh and hummus with the table. They had a Turkish coffee on the menu, but I didn't want to risk being wired on my flight back home. There's a small parking lot behind the building.

    The food was amazing,the service was even better very nice people tried his best to get the food on time

    I had my birthday dinner there and I was so happy I did! The owner was sooooo nice and accommodating! He went above and beyond! He played a birthday video and gave us some free dessert. The food was fantastic! I highly recommend 5 Star Mediterranean Restaurant!!!

    Authentic Mediterranean food with massive portions! The hummus had pomegranate seeds on it which was a nice touch. The staff was also very welcoming and attentive.

    Five Stars Mediterranean Restaurant was our plan B for the day, but it will likely be a "plan A" in the future. The place was not crowded, thankfully, because the gentleman (owner?) running the place was on his own on this particular day. He let the customers know there was a lot of self-service available (drinks, plates, silverware, etc.) and that he just needed a few minutes to get things ready for service. Everyone was very understanding. We ordered a large Baba Ghannouj was indeed massive, but we managed to eat every last bite. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs, so I recommended a regular size for a table for two. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma. Food was presented in takeaway boxes, which was unusual, but ended up being very convenient. I was so full of Baba Gjannouj I barely touched the shawarma. That said, Chicken Shawarma was fantastic! Super flavorful, even leftover. YUM! We also got an order of fries which had a nice spice (not spicy) on them. They were fresh and delicious. We took a while to eat. By the time we were finished and paid the bill, we were the only customers in the place. The owner came to our table with an order submitted online (or on the phone) by a person that was not able to pick it up. He said he appreciated our patience and insisted we take the meal on the house. What a generous gesture! The place was super cute and clean and there is parking pretty much right next door. You should check it out. I am pretty sure we'll be back.

    The food was so good, the service was amazing, and the music was a 10/10. Five stars is an understatement, needs 10. Broke my scale. so so so good AND we got free drinks on the house and a mocktail for my friend who doesn't drink coffee. anyways, it was awesome

    This was the cleanest place! Everything was kept very clean. The men working were very friendly, and I would guess one was the owner. My daughter and I both ordered the beef shawarma platter. It was fresh and very good. Even though it was between lunch and dinner, around 3pm,on a Monday there were a number of customers. I highly recommend it when in the area, and hopefully, I will be back.

Finally she made reservations for Saturday evening (it is recommended because they get super busy). We got there and was greeted by the owner. BTW, was very down to earth. So their menu looked good (Lebanese food). There is so much to choose from and hard to decide. I especially loved their drink menu, especially wines. We ended up ordering: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches Almaza Pilsner My favorite from the appetizers is the eggplant and falafel! Super fresh and the bread that came with it was so good. Even the dipping sauce was amazing. My Shawarma chicken was super delish. You have to put the garlic butter on the rice! It gives it great flavor. My Mr enjoyed his meal as well. We definitely had to get a to go box because there was so much food. But we will look forward the next day to eat it. Overall, the service was great and I loved the experience. We can see ourselves coming back for more! I can see why my best friend loves it here! Highly recommend you try it.

The food was fantastic, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was very laid back. We even met the owner who was immensely friendly and welcoming. We went for dinner on a Saturday evening. For weekends, reservations are strongly recommended because they get busy FAST. They're only open for dinner hours too. Their menu is pretty big with a plethora of options to choose from including lots of appetizers, flatbreads, shawarmas, kebabs, falafel, and lots of tasty desserts. Their libations menu was very nice too, with numerous options for beer, wine, and spirits. (Try the Almaza for a crisp and tasty Pilsner) all at great prices. Here's what we had: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches red wine blend Almaza Pilsner Hoegaarden Belgian wit bier They also give you unlimited fresh pita bread with a delicious dipping sauce. Everything was incredible and cooked to perfection. We'll definitely be coming back here again. Unfortunately, this time, we had no room for dessert, but maybe next time.

Only thing is I wish they could make it gluten free. I got the Mira bowl in a kid size portion and had boiled eggs as an add on. Perfect portion! The bartender recommended the smaller size since I was getting waffles and I'm glad she made that suggestion. Lavender latte with oatmilk was light and delicate. Just what I was looking for. Nothing was too sweet and I enjoyed everything. The inside had a nice airy feel to it. They have a cute little kids corner filled with books and fun stuff for the little ones to stay busy while waiting on meals. They close at 3 so I recommend enjoying it for brunch/lunch!

Or you can be seated at a table in a large open dining area. Very community conscious with a ramp for wheelchair to get from main hostess area to the dining area. I was seated right away. Being visitor from VA Beach, I asked what's the recommended dish, the server suggested omelette. But I wasn't in the mood for omelette so I saw shakshuka. I tried their Green Goddess version that has spinach (instead of tomato sauce) and feta. The food is a solid 3. I also ordered the Dubai Chocolate latte. It was a 3 as you taste more the milk than the chocolate syrup. I also got their chocolate chip banana bread.

    Beautiful restaurant. So many little details to appreciate…read more Kebabs were amazing. I definitely want to come back to try some of the different styled ones. The lentil soup was lovely. Very similar to Dahl, just a thinner consistency. Felt just like home haha. Wasn't the biggest fan of the Kuzacha Shurpa. I know for next time, it was just very subtly seasoned. I'm sure that's how the dish is supposed to be, just not my style. The only thing that upset me is they had a lot of stuff on the menu, that they didn't have. Such as some of the salads. They had a big selection of everything though. The service was great. It was slow when we went in, but it was around 3-4pm on a Saturday. We were served and seated very quickly. Definitely will be revisiting- and I'm curious , is it really open 24/7 haha.
