I'm glad I arrived hungry. I ordered a Lamb and Beef Gyro and Muhamara. When I tasted both of the dishes I was instantly transported back to Turkey! Both dishes were absolutely delicious, very fresh with just the right amount of spice. The Gyro came with Turkish rice, hummus with an olive and olive oil and a cut salad with fresh vegetables. The Muhmara had pomegranate molasses on top that added a delicious tang to the peppers and walnut meze. Abdul, my server was friendly and happy to offer recommendations which I accepted. The menu is extensive and offers many options including salmon and steak along with many different Turkish and Mediterranean dishes such as pasta, spanakopita and Greek salad. The ambiance is modern and comfortable. Having spent many years in Turkey if you would like a taste of authentic food you will love it there. read more

This place is delicious. Been twice in the last week. We weren't sure what to order until Abdul guided us. The items he picked were so good and perfect portion size for myself and the lady. Definitely will be back, and you should be too! read more

If you're in the Laurel Village-Presidio Heights area, stop in to Golden Mediterranean for some delicious Turkish food. Abdul will greet you and offer suggestions if you're not familiar with the menu. A great neighborhood place. read more

The atmosphere is clean, relaxed and the staff lovely, but let's be honest- the best part was the food. Combo appetizer is fantastic: 4 yummy spreads, two salads plus dolmas and excellent crunchy falafel. Big portion and well worth it. Chicken wrap and salmon wrap- perfect sizes for a late day lunch. Everything we ordered was fantastic and flavorful! Can't wait to return to explore and sample more menu items. read more

Had a lovely time at Golden Mediterranean this evening. My dining companion and I shared hummus as an appetizer, then both got the salmon platter. All of the food was delicious and beautifully prepared. The portions were generous, well worth the price. The staff was super nice and attentive. Ambiance-wise, I liked the aesthetics. Lots of interesting art. read more

I have ordered thru doordash a combo wrap and falafel from this spot on this week, wrap was tasting good, but can't say the same about falafel, it actually wasn't tasting like a normal falafel... Reasonable price, not bad service, and the place inside is little small. Overall, good spot to grab smth real quick when you're hungry and late somewhere. Definitely not deserving 3 stars, also definitely not 5 stars, so I'd describe it as 4 star spot. read more

Golden Mediterranean was such a wonderful experience. I enjoyed my beef and lamb gyro plate. It was a quick bite to eat while on the go. The real hit was the delicious Turkish rice pudding that hit the spot. Staff were so sweet and hospitable. Within a 5-7 minute driving distance from Arguello and Fulton. My to-go meal satisfied my Mediterranean foodie craving. The restaurant was aesthetically pleasing and spacious. New business which opened 5-6 months ago. I'd love to return because the food was tasty and the atmosphere looked well-kept. read more

Love this restaurant! The kebabs (all of them are so tasty), pita, and baklava are super fresh. Great restaurant to bring a group of people in and the staff is so friendly. We had complimentary hot Turkish Tea at the end of our meal which was the perfect pairing with our dessert. read more

Lovely, local restaurant! Food was delicious, and staff were friendly! First time ordering for take-out, but will consider eating in for future. Everything was so fresh, and the lamb shank was very tender. Loved their falafel as they were not greasy and over a salad. Highly recommend! read more

We were walking our pup when we noticed this new Mediterranean restaurant in the neighborhood, Golden Mediterranean. Food is delicious. Really like my Shish Combo with tasty rice, salad and hummus with pita bread. The chicken is tender, the beef is cooked well, but still soft & delicious. The falafel is also very tasty. Has great flavor. Tasted a bit like there's pickle juice in it. We like it a lot! I especially like the brightness of it. The chicken wrap is also good tho I prefer the Shish Combo plate more because of the variety of flavors and ingredients. Can't wait to come back and try other things on their menu. Ambiance is lovely with a light green (Parisian Green/Breakfast Room Green?) interior, classy, clean, airy. Very friendly, welcoming and gracious service. Located on California and Spruce. read more

We had such a wonderful lunch at Golden Mediterranean. I found a space right out front. The server was kind and friendly and informative and helpful. He checked on us multiple times. The food was delicious, and beautifully presented. I went with my cousin and we will both be back with our families. At this time of skyrocketing food prices, what a delight to find a place with yummy food at reasonable prices. They opened five months ago and I hope they succeed. read more

What pretty plates and nice portions. Even with 4 people sharing for a birthday dinner we gad leftovers. Come by and enjoy.

Omg this is the best Mediterranean food I've had in a long long time. We got the French fries, the Muhamara, and the falafels and I would rate every single one 10/10! I don't even like falafels but I liked them here. Plus the waiter is super nice here and the service is quick. Love this place will definitely be back. read more

What a fantastic addition to the neighborhood! My husband and I stopped by on a Saturday night and were blown away. We started with the falafel and baba ganoush--both were delicious. The falafel was a standout: perfectly crispy and not at all dry. For our mains, I had the chicken shish kebab plate and my husband had the chicken gyro; both came with fluffy rice, a fresh Greek salad, and plenty of pita for dipping. We will definitely be back. Very friendly service as well! read more

A friend just returned from touring Turkey and said the food at Golden Mediterranean was great and authentic! He. had the Beyti (wrapped/sliced kebab with yogurt and tomato sauce); his girlfriend. had the Mixed Grilled Plate (an impressive assortment of kebabs, chicken and beef gyros, rice, salad, tomatoes); and I had the salmon plate, cooked perfectly. (They were flexible and considerate to accommodate my food sensitivities and allergies). All were delicious, presented nicely, and served by our wonderful host/server, ABDUL (from Istanbul)! The desserts were great; baklava; kunefe (phyllo layered with soft cheese. drizzled with syrup and either orange or rose blossom water......headsup: it takes 15 min to prepare this); and Turkish delight, along with Turkish coffee and apple tea. Sorry I didn't get a pics of all the food (too busy eating and enjoying), but will make this restaurant one of our favorites and will definitely return! Thanks to Abdul and staff for a wonderful dinner! (Also open for lunch continuously......yay!) read more

I would not recommend this place. The food is not fresh. Very disappointing , because I asked specifically if the tabouli was fresh, and the owner assured me it was unfortunately, it was mushy and lacked flavor I can't imagine how old it must have been. read more

We stopped in last night and so glad we did! The food was fantastic. Dolmas are some of the best we've ever had. We each had a wrap, the Kofte wrap that I had was delicious and my husband's wrap, the chicken kebab was also great. Definitely will be back! read more

These seem to be some young people starting off on a great adventure so I'd like to set out this review to help guide them to what I, a regular in the neighborhood would want to see. The Service is friendly. The restaurant looks super clean. However, upon entering, the music was playing loud and that music was some sort of house music completely detracting from ambiance and conversation. We had to speak loudly at the table to hear one another; even the waiter had a hard time hearing our order and asked us to repeat it. One there's no reason for House music and a Mediterranean restaurant. And two music should always be adjusted for the number of people in a restaurant. When I asked them to lower the speaker they did, but it was still the same detached kind of house music that has nothing to do with creating and appealing atmosphere I ordered the falafel's because I love falafel's. The best thing about them is that they hadn't been pre-cooked and they weren't super fried or reheated. They did however, lack a bit of flavor. Something was missing in the punch some spice. I'm not sure what it is maybe more cumin. I'm not sure. But it was at best a bit Lossee. And as falafel's are usually my first punch at a Mediterranean restaurant before ordering other things, I felt unmoved. I'm hoping that this review will actually push these people cause I would love to have a Mediterranean restaurant in my neighborhood just a block away from me.t read more
