    Fufu's inside The Food Lab! I was trying to decide between the Chicjem kebab bowl and chicken shawarma bowl for a late lunch at 2 (difficult to make decisions when you're too hungry) so I asked Shakirah the staff person there which she would recommend. She said definitely the chicken kebab but it would take 10 minutes. So I followed her advice and asked for it on a bed of 1/2 rice, 1/2 salad, with green pickles, turnips, and grilled onions on top. Garlic and tahini sauces as well. (You choose 3 toppings and two sauces). It was worth the wait! The chicken was so tender and the pickles and turnips so flavorful, the onions grilled perfectly, the sauces a savory delicious blend with everything. Clearly good ingredients and so delectable I ate the whole thing (for some maybe there would be leftovers haha). Highly highly recommend!! Thanks, Shakirah!

    A solid place to grab some food at the Riverside Food Lab. My brother ordered and grabbed some food here while I was perusing some of the other vendors. As always, the best plan is to spread out, separate, order several different foods at the lab, reconvene and share dishes so you get a little bit of everything. He ordered the lamb chop plate which comes with 2 sides that you can choose. We got the fries and hummus for this. Both are solid choices. Lamb was moist and didn't need to be dipped in the hummus or anything else. Nice slight char at the edges. It comes on top of a bed of seasoned rice. A bit oily, on top of the meat being a bit oily too, but it's the nature of the cut of meat and the cooking style. The lamb chops weren't enough to cover the amount of sides and carbs in a portioned of proteins to carb ratio, but it's alright. Service was efficient and cordial. Vibes are lively as there's lots of people at the food lab on the weekends. Sometimes they have events going on or a game on too. Finding seating can be a tad difficult, but you just circle around until you find a spot.

    Steak skewers (dry overcooked) amazing fries, and undressed salad!

    We came here on valentines night, super crowded, hot and sticky inside the "Foodie Lab", but Mediterranean is what our group wanted to eat Our cashier was super friendly, and the reason why they're getting any stars. He must have been the shift manager, because he carried himself well, and had the best customer service, especially for such a crazy night. We placed our order. 1 3 item skewer plate and 1 steak skewer plate. We waited about 20 min, that wasn't too bad because our group was able to score a table right in front. The problem started when we opened up our order. They got the sides wrong for my husband. He had asked for hummus and fries, but gave him a salad. I went up and let one of the line staff know, he looked at me and just turned around. I said excuse me and told him again. This time with his plate in hand and the receipt showing the order was wrong. He grabbed a small dip container and stared scrapping the crusty sides of the hummus pan and filing the dip dish, he would not even give us one scoop from the middle fresh portion. He did add olive oil and paprika for visual appeal (thanks sir, for your generosity) I took it and went back to our table. I open up my plate and notice I have no dressing for my salad. This time my husband goes up there, same guy looks at my husband, and says "there's dressing on the salad already" husband comes back and tells me what he says, I grab my container and go back to the counter. This time ignoring that rude kid, and making eye contact with the man who took our order. He comes to the counter and ask how he can help. I show him my salad and let him know what his staff told my husband, he apologized and said the salad is usually dressed in the back, and they were so busy and probably forgot. He gave me two of their vinegarets, and I thanked him. Now we can finally start to eat our food. The rice was soft and fluffy, the fries were super crispy and seasoned well. But the steak, was so dry and overcooked. We have eaten here before and the meat has always been so tender and cooked to a med rare. But this time, just bad! Again, busiest day, super crowded, loud, hot, but your food should still be up to standard. We choose your spot, because the food has always been on point, but this time esp on a date night, disappointing! Again, stars are because of the staff manager, fries and rice!

    It was great , I can't wait to go back and try more of the items. If you're not familiar with mid east food. Just ask what's good. What's popular. That's how you do it.

    Huge portions! This Mediterranean spot is located in a fun industrial food hall in Riverside! The servers are kind, an I ordered a salad, which came out about 15 minutes later. It's a casual place to dine with lots of seating in the area. I like the ability to walk around and see other vendors.

    The food here is amazing! I was wondering through the foodlab and couldn't decide and I'm so happy I chose this place. The food was fresh and filling and full of flavor! Service was great and since it's in a food hall, the vibe was that of a nice weekday night. Full of people and just great energy. I got a chicken shawarma bowl with half rice and half lettuce. I must go back here !!!

    Asked for no onion, tried to take it back they said they couldn't remake it. I'm allergic to onion, it wasn't even listed as an ingredient.

    I asked for no onion, when I asked for it to be remade they said they couldn't do that. It wasn't even listed as an ingredient on the menu. I disputed the charge I hope I at least get a refund

    A solid Mediterranean spot that serves big portions. They have two locations that really do well. Currently they are in Riverside food lab and Redlands Public Market. The service was very fast and efficient. My order came out within 7 min and was super excited to eat. I chose the plate where you get two sides and a protein on a bed of rice. The chicken and beef shawarma were a good combo and very flavorful. My sides were hummus and fries. It was little loud for the ambiance but it's a food hall with a bunch of people. I usually order to go then take it home to eat it.

    This small but mighty business is located in the Ralph's shopping center off La Sierra. It's right…read morenext to Starbucks so I suggest parking in the inner 2nd parking lot row instead of right in front in the 1st row....otherwise you may get stuck due the Starbucks drive thru line. Walking in you go straight to the counter to order - menu hangs about the register. I ordered a regular gyro pita sandwich and my husband ordered the gyro pita sandwich with added pork meat and he got it as a combo with rice and a salad. Gyro meat is spot on. Love it - not too soft and not too crispy. The taztziki sauce is so good here but you must love the garlic aftertaste as it will be in your mouth for awhile!! The pita bread is sooo soft and fresh. Overall the sandwich in itself is filling and my husband felt overall full with his two sides. Our total was $29 for the sandwich and sandwich combo.

    Greek Street Grill has been on my list for some time now due to the raving reviews I kept hearing…read moreabout it. I finally had the chance to visit this past weekend. It's located in a plaza with plenty of parking and there is plenty of seating indoors as well. The ambiance is clean and casual, felt almost like a fast food place. You order at the counter and the workers will bring the food to your table. For food, I tried the chicken souvlaki plate with their fries and salad. I also got the calamari appetizer. The calamari was delicious. Crispy, tasty, juicy. The chicken souvlaki plate unfortunately fell short of my expectations. While the fries were crispy and the salad was good, the chicken was really dry and lacked flavor. My brother got the chicken and steak pita and thought the same thing for both proteins.

    Tried Georgie's Mediterranean in Riverside and it definitely delivered…read more I got a chicken shawarma bowl with fries as the base, and also a plate with both chicken and beef shawarma. The bowl was really good using fries instead of rice honestly made it hit way harder. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and everything on top tied together really well without feeling too heavy. The combo plate was just as solid. The chicken was tender, the beef had a nice char and flavor, and both tasted fresh. Portions were generous too--definitely didn't feel like they were skimping. Everything tasted authentic and well-made, not dry or bland like some Mediterranean spots can be. Sauces brought it all together without overpowering the meat. Service was quick and the spot has a casual, no-frills vibe--just good food that comes out fast. Overall, really solid Mediterranean spot in Riverside. Good portions, good flavor, and worth coming back to.

    We were feeling Mediterranean and decided to try out a new place…read more First off the service and delivery were great. The food arrived on time, the order was correct, and it came all the way from Riverside. I'm not sure on the ambiance because I had the food delivered. As for the food, i opted for the combo plate. It came with 3 pieces of steak, chicken, and 1 Kefta kabob, rice, 2 sides, and pita bread. They have a lot of sides to choose from but I don't like that there's an up charge to substitute salad for rice so I got the rice. I love that they allow you to select how you want your beef cooked. I ordered Medium and it was cooked perfectly. The kefta kabob was well seasoned and packed full of Mediterranean spices (delicious). The chicken was full of flavor, cooked all the way through and tender. The rice was full of flavor. I've never had Mediterranean food with rice like this. You may or may not like it. I enjoyed the extra flavor than just having white rice. The tabbouleh was fresh and gave my meal some brightness. The pita bread was a disappointment for me. You could tell it's store bought or not freshly made. You can taste the flour or starch on it. It was dry and not good. It reminded me of the Pita bread in the bakery section of food4less. The other disappointing element to my meal was the cucumber yogurt (tzatziki) I don't like that the cucumber was cubed and it was watery. It lacked that cucumber flavor and it appeared to be prepared watered down intentionally. It was even lacking that tart yogurt taste because it was so thinned out. Overall, it was still a fairly good meal. I would suggest making or buying better pita bread. I would be willing to try it again because the meat was delicious and I'd get hummus instead of the cucumber yogurt.
