    Food prep
    Grater F.

    Exceeded expectations! I honestly wasn't expecting anything earth shattering in terms of the food with it being a chain, but the food was actually very delicious. Everything seemed fresh, good ingredients and well prepared. The employee who prepared our meals was super friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful in supporting us with our dietary accommodations. The restaurant was super cute, decor seems to cater to an "instagrammable demographic. Literal only downfall which I'll give them the benefit of the doubt was we literally saw a fairly decent sized dead beetle on the floor in the seating area. Assuming it got in from outside but still obviously concerning to see from a restaurant.

    This is one of my favorite places to go however this was my first time to this new location in downtown Fresno. Although the food was good the restaurant was extremely hot. To be honest the temperature seem to be the same inside as it was outside. I ordered a bowl and wanted to eat at the location however, It was so hot I had to pack my stuff up and get in my car. I went home to finish my salad because I couldn't believe that there was no difference in temperature from being inside the building to when I walked outside. Overall the service was very good and the food tasted amazing however I would not be coming back to this location because it's too hot and in the valley AC is a necessity .

    It's the lemonade stand, which is also very good!

    My experience here at this location was very pleasing and great! I was greeted walking in, it's very clean and Brianna was very sweet and friendly! I'd come here more often after this experience !

    Beef and Lamb Gyro Pita

    There is no substitute for freshness, the taste it ensues, and the aromas it evokes. The crispiness and vibrant colors of the vegetables, legumes, and other toppings, the tenderness of the meats, crunchy but airy pita chips, and the intense flavors, texture, and colors of the freshly ground hummus. Moreover, the choices of hummus flavors, toppings, and serving styles are unmatched. Your meal choices center around creating a pita sandwich, wrap, or salad bowl. Protein choices usually include lemon chicken, crispy chicken, chicken shawarma, beef and lamb gyro (my favorite), falafel, shiitake mushroom shawarma, and a street mix of olives, onions, and jalapenos. Your base choices are the following: Couscous, garbanzo beans, spinach, kale, and farmer's mix. Toppings are unlimited and include the following: Chopped tomatoes, red onions, beets, red cabbage, fresh herbs, dolmades, kalamata olives, fried eggplant, cucumbers, chickpea croutons, crumbled feta, white cabbage, fried jalapeno, corn, artichoke hearts, and hot cherry peppers. The variety of choices regarding the hummus and spreads is unique to Hummus Republic. They are traditional organic hummus, organic roasted eggplant hummus, organic kalamata olives, organic harissa hummus, zesty feta, and tzatziki. Finish your meal preparation with the following choices of dressings: Traditional tahini, roasted red pepper tahini, lemon + olive oil, Moroccan hot sauce, grandma's sauce, and garlic jalapeno tahini. However you have your meal prepared, it is guaranteed to be fresh, delicious, healthy, and hearty. There are a plethora of ways and many choices for food junkies and healthy eaters alike. Hummus Republic is also an excellent choice for those short on time and appreciate the fast, convenient food preparation made right at the counter with you making all the choices. The drinks include tahini shakes, sparkling water, and traditional and flavored lemonades. There are unlimited refills on the lemonades as a bonus. If you park in the adjacent public parking garage, bring your parking stub in to be stamped. Hummus Republic validates so you get to park for free. The freshness, and variety of options at Hummus Republic are unparalleled. A big kudos to the owners and manager, Steve and Chloe, for this and the location on N. Palm Avenue. They always make you feel welcome and you can tell they will go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your delicious and healthy meal and promptly get it out to you. 4.5 stars

    Steves recommendation, so much flavor it hit the spot!

    Warning! The pita chips are addictive and you will crave them all the time. Such an easy and healthy option when you don't want anything heavy or something you'll regret. The bowls are massive and satisfying, so much flavor. The pita chips are made fresh so they're warm and crunchy but still a bit soft in the middle. I love to mix hummus with tzatziki, it's untouchable. Chloe and Steve are so nice and helpful, they really know how to multitask working on DoorDash orders, in person customers, and working the phones. Definitely recommend a try!

    The ordering style is the same as Chipotle, or any other fast casual restaurant. You choose your base (couscous, rice, or salad) your protein, (chicken, Shawarma, beef Shawarma, or vegetarian) and then pile it high with a ton of fresh toppings. I got two different types of chicken. The lemon pepper chicken and the chicken Shawarma. This was a little confusing because as I wasn't sure if I would be charged double, but apparently you can add two different proteins at no extra charge. You can also do the same with your base. Double it up! By the time I added my base and my proteins, the bowl was already overflowing and I hadn't even my added toppings. There's at least 15-different vegetable toppings, hard boiled eggs, cheeses, and 6-different sauces. Yummy, I can't wait to enjoy this massive bowl of mush! All jokes aside, this was delicious and everything was incredibly fresh. It was a little tricky at first to order, but I think I got the hang of it. I will say, one of these bowls is good for two meals.

    Absolutely delicious! We ordered this for lunch (Uber Eats) and we absolutely will be going to dine-in to try more! The food is extremely fresh, amazing flavor and so colorful (don't they say the more color the better)! The bowl was beyond filling and even though I wanted to finish every last bite I was happily full...so now I have some extra for dinner!

    Hummus Republic is the chipotle of Mediterranean food. Service is exceptional. The overall feeling I get from Hummus Republic is happiness. I ordered the bowl with couscous and garbanzo beans. Lemon chicken and chicken shawarma. See my instagram @realronaldreviews for the hummus flavors on the bowl. The spicy dressing was my favorite dressing and any of the green ones are good as well. Honestly Hummus Republic is heavenly delightful with exceptional service. Don't believe me! Try it yourself. And when you do get the pita chips. Your welcome!

    Do they have gluten free/dairy free options? I have Celiac disease, thanks!

    We do! However our fried items are fried in the same fryer as our pita chips, so depending how sensitive your allergy is you may want to avoid those. We can avoid our fried items and make you a gluten free bowl easily!

My companion ordered the shawarma which also was very flavorful, a touch dry but paired nicely with the fresh hummus. Food took quite a while to come out, but my guess is this is because it's being made fresh. My order also had a small error (asked for potatoes but got rice) they kindly allowed me to keep my plate and bring the potatoes out separate (did take a while to get them but they were hot when I did) The service was very friendly in the interim, attentive without being invasive. Seems like a local favorite spot as it was pretty lively for a random week night.

    This original location remains my recommended spot for Mediterranean food. Many Mediterranean…read morerestaurants in Fresno County are Armenian-owned, while only a small handful--like this family-run restaurant--specialize in Lebanese cuisine. Lebanese food is widely considered among the best expressions of Mediterranean cooking due to its vibrant use of fresh ingredients, particularly herbs, lemon, garlic, and olive oil, along with a strong emphasis on healthy, plant-based, and grilled dishes. It offers diverse, shareable, and nutrient-dense options such as tabbouleh, hummus, and falafel, making it both flavorful and nutritious. I always enjoy dining at Golden Grill because they exemplify Lebanese cuisine so well. Their dishes highlight fresh herbs like mint and parsley, along with garlic and lemon juice, rather than relying heavily on spices. The result is a light, refreshing, and aromatic flavor profile that feels both vibrant and balanced. The kebabs are excellent. The grilled cubes of beef, chicken, and kafta (ground beef and lamb) skewers are flavorful, tender, and juicy, topped with herbs and grilled to perfection. They carry a subtle smokiness and savory aroma, and the meats are beautifully charred with vibrant color. Their pita and saj sandwiches are also very well done. Each sandwich is warm and carefully assembled, forming a sturdy pocket filled with high-quality ingredients. They combine savory meats (or falafel and vegetables), creamy sauces, and crunchy pickles and onions into a balanced bite. The bread holds generous fillings without collapsing while still being tender enough to bite through easily. The pocket opens cleanly, creating the perfect pouch for the ingredients. For a small restaurant with limited seating that appears to receive many to-go orders, the presentation for dine-in guests is especially thoughtful. The dishes are served on clean white ceramic plates and trays, with the food carefully arranged and portions balanced. It is simple yet elegant and visually appealing. Golden Grill also captures the Lebanese mezze-style dining experience. As someone of Korean heritage, I appreciate this approach, since it is similar to how Korean meals are served with many shared dishes that provide variety in every meal. Some of the shared plates include Lebanese staples like hummus, falafel, tabbouleh, baba ghanouj, and fresh flatbread. Everything here tastes fresh and well-prepared, with distinct textures and aromatic flavors. The signature entrées come with two cold appetizers. The hummus is silky smooth, a velvety blend of garbanzo beans and tahini that almost melts in your mouth. The baba ghanouj is creamy, garlicky, and finished with olive oil. The tabbouleh is bright and balanced with lemon juice, garlic, and a generous drizzle of olive oil that ties together the citrusy and earthy flavors. The restaurant itself is clean, with tables and chairs wiped down quickly after guests leave. Service is friendly, welcoming, and helpful when placing orders. Prices are also reasonable, especially considering many competing Mediterranean restaurants do not place the same emphasis on presentation or on creating a mezze-style dining experience at no additional cost. While some may prefer other Mediterranean cuisines, I personally enjoy the fresh, light, and diverse flavors that Lebanese food offers. Golden Grill's citrus-forward dishes and extensive mezze options make it one of my favorite Mediterranean spots.

In Fresno, where the Armenian community reaches back almost to the city's beginnings, food like this carries a particular weight. Restaurants are places to eat, but they also keep a connection to kitchens and people you miss. The pleasant dining room and generous patio make a good first impression. So do prices that suggest you might come back on an ordinary Tuesday. The lulu kebab was good. The pilaf and bulgur alongside it were more puzzling: properly cooked, but almost entirely without flavor. The vermicelli in the pilaf hadn't been browned, missing the toasted quality that makes it worth adding in the first place. Whatever chicken stock might have been involved was keeping a low profile. Salt seemed to have missed dinner altogether. Perhaps remembering my grandmother's cooking set the bar a little high, but wanting another forkful of rice does not seem an unreasonable expectation. The staff were friendly when they appeared, although appearances were infrequent enough that a simple dinner stretched to two hours. A large patio is a lovely thing; ample time to contemplate its dimensions is less essential. There is plenty to like here, particularly a menu I was happy to see and a bill that comes in below many comparable places. But the rice needs the same attention as the kebab, and the tables could use a little more of it, too.
