    Cilantro Salmon
    Phil C.

    Some of the best service I've ever received. I work in the area and came by for the first time for lunch the other day. The owner, Gaby (who I didn't know at the time), was hard at work, running around the entire restaurant making sure every customer was satisfied. It was a hot day and he gave me a free bottle of water after I ordered my food. Service was quick and attentive, all from Gaby himself. He checked in multiple times to make sure I didn't need anything. I ordered the cilantro salmon plate and it was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I cleaned the entire plate of course, and as I was leaving I thanked him for his amazing service. We then had a brief chat and he told me a bit about the history of the restaurant. As he was doing so, another lady walked in and made a comment about his aquarium. He then even offered her some guppies to take home. Even in this brief encounter it was very clear how much Gaby cared about his restaurant and customers. I will most definitely be back, and if you're in the area definitely check this place out.

    Greek Salad!
    Eriko P.

    Casual Mediterranean full service restaurant. The seating area is under a protected tent, but no AC. It was slightly warm as we sat to have our lunch. The music transported me to another country, and made me smile. Food was really tasty. The zatar appetizer arrived first with pita bread and oh my, beautifully presented and tasty. I loved my Greek Salad, which I chose to be my main meal. My husband ordered the Chicken Kafta Kabob , Two skewers of grilled seasoned ground chicken mixed with parsley, onions and spices. It came with a side salad, tzatziki, grilled tomato and onion. He loved it! There were no leftovers The service was on point with a smile! Thank you!! Free parking on the lot.

    Phoenician Chicken
    Bari B.

    The food is fabulous. I've eaten there so many times and can't believe I've never reviewed it. The service is excellent and I love the location as I live around the corner. I know the menu by heart but always order the same thing, Phoenician Chicken. The portion is so large I take it home for seconds.

    Gaby's Mediterranean has been one of my all-time favorite spots since I was a kid, and it's still just as amazing all these years later. The serving sizes are incredibly generous, the service is always quick and friendly, and the food.... absolutely delicious! Every bite is full of rich, authentic flavor that instantly reminds me why I always make it a point to stop by whenever I'm home visiting (I live abroad now). My go-to dishes are the lemon chicken and the rotisserie chicken with garlic sauce, both are perfectly seasoned and so satisfying. Gaby's never disappoints, and it continues to set the standard for great Mediterranean comfort food. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a meal that's both hearty and unforgettable!

    Gaby's has started to remodel the restaurant and menu! They've added new entrees, platters, and monthly entertainment. Food is still 10 outta 10! Pics of the new platter for reference! And yes, it's definitely as good as it looks!

    Sunday chicken bowl
    Ashley H.

    Delicious! I think it was supposed to come with hummus? So I think they made a mistake. But the garlic spread and the chicken marinade is so good here! $10.50 for this is amazing !! Service is quick. I did take out so ambiance is not applicable here.

    I used to love this restaurant. Love. So much I would seriously get take-out from here at least once a week. Unfortunately the food and service has seriously gone downhill in the last year. The last 3 times I ordered from here, the salad has been wilted & meat either under or overcooked. All 3 times. While some of the staff is friendly, others are not & do clearly do not know the menu. I tried to call in an order & was told kafta is not on the menu. It is. My love affair is over. Does Gaby still own this place??

    Chicken Shawarma
    Aja A.

    I'm sorry but this place needs alot of love. It has potential but unfortunately I won't be returning to see the improvements. Chicken shawarma was not grilled AT ALL, smelled funny & had no seasoning. Everything else isn't even worth mentioning. I sent it back and a guy came out and tried to intimidate me. Never apologized for the horrible food but instead was attended that I didn't like it.

    Beef kabob
    Mabel C.

    Gaby's Mediterranean was delicious! My husband and I both got the beef kabob plate and ordered a side of hummus with it. It came with pita bread and it was so filling. Service was fast and friendly. We dined out in the covered patio and it was so peaceful. Will definitely be back if in the area!

    Horrible Lamb kabob chewy and tasted like gasoline. Do no order.

    It has a nice outdoor ambience. The kebab is decent enough, though not the best. I would recommend if you're a Palms local for convenience.

Non negotiables: the prawns, oyster mushrooms, and lamb neck shawarma. All of those dishes were out of this world. Especially the lamb neck shawarma. Probably a top 3 dish I've ever eaten. Tender, juicy, charcoaled, smoky, divine. The wood fire charcoal grill makes all the difference with these dishes. It really is a high end production. Love the open kitchen concept. It was so fun seeing all the cooks getting after it with high incredibly high energy and focus. Service is also exceptional. No need to ask for anything. No waiting necessary. The staff is always there, right before you need them. But, in the most hospitable way possible, not overbearing. Definitely an upscale, hip, elegant, and trendy setup. Slightly tight with the spacing, but not too bad. More like a place to dress up when you know you're about to ball out, and are A-okay with being seen. Love Bavel. And I'm normally a hole-in-the-wall kind of guy. But this is one of the few pricey places that's worth every damn penny.

I also really enjoyed the brightness of the crudo, and the grilled oyster mushrooms or a must. And for someone that doesn't really like lamb, I thought the rack of lambs was actually pretty good and tender. And if you have room for dessert, definitely get the baked Alaska. It is so fresh, fruity, and bright! Surface is fantastic. Our waiter was able to preempt our every need and brought out the dessert menu and each of the courses before we asked. It is also such a gorgeous place with hanging pothos from the high ceilings!
