I'll admit it--I came in with a little skepticism. My previous experiences hadn't been the best, so…read morewhen a friend chose this restaurant for her birthday happy hour, she was pleasantly surprised that I still wanted to come. My attitude was simple: it's about celebrating my friend. I'm so glad I did because this visit completely changed my mind. The restaurant's new location (where Mellow Mushroom used to be) is beautiful, spacious, and has a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for gathering with friends. Since we were sharing, we sampled a little of everything, and it was all delicious. Favorites included the falafel, Lebanese moussaka, crispy Brussels sprouts with Aleppo date glaze, baba ghanouj, classic hummus, Rocca beet salad, and the fresh, flavorful fattoush salad. Every dish was colorful, well-seasoned, and perfect for sharing around the table. The drinks kept flowing, and everyone was having a great time. To celebrate the birthday, we finished with an orange olive oil cake and a rich dark chocolate cake with sauce--both were wonderful endings to a fantastic meal. A special shout-out to our server, Ariana, who was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind to everyone at the table. She helped make the evening even more enjoyable. This visit completely changed my opinion of the restaurant. Great food, a beautiful new space, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere made for a memorable evening. What a beautiful transition! We needed that. Thank you for proving me wrong--I will definitely be back!

Another great meal at Amar Mediterranean. We go the classic hummus, baba ghanouj, moudardara, and…read morearnabeet mekleh. It was all fantastic and the baba ghanouj was one of the best I've had. The pitas were amazing, they came to our table piping hot and billowing with hot steamy air. We also tried the tabouleh. For mains, the octopus on lentils was very good. The lamb chops were great with mint pesto and very puffy rice, tho they came out a bit over done (I ordered them medium and they were closer to medium well). The branzino was also good - a unique take on the dish with lentil sauce.

I stopped by the Delray location while craving something fresh and flavorful, and the concept…read moreimmediately felt like a Mediterranean take on a build-your-own bowl setup, similar to the fast-casual style people know from Chipotle, but with a much broader range of ingredients and flavor combinations. This was my first visit and my first time trying them, and I was impressed by how many options they offer. The customization is extensive without feeling overwhelming, and everything looked fresh and well maintained. I went with the falafel bowl, built over rice and lettuce, and one standout detail was that they offered three different rice options. I chose the lentil rice, which had excellent flavor and added a nice depth to the bowl. All of the toppings, condiments, and add-ons tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The falafel itself was satisfying, and the overall meal felt balanced--filling without being heavy. It gave that ideal healthy, energized feeling rather than leaving me sluggish afterward. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself was very clean, which always matters in a fast-casual setting, and the service stood out. The staff was welcoming, and the manager came by our table several times to check in and make sure everything was going well, which added a personal touch that you don't always get in this style of restaurant. Overall, a very solid first experience. Fresh food, strong service, clean environment, and plenty of options. I'd definitely return and would recommend checking it out if you're in the mood for Mediterranean done in a casual, customizable format.

I have been wanting to visit Olive U Mediterranean Grill and finally have the opportunity because I…read morewas in this Delray neighborhood. There is ample parking and seating, though I can imagine this place gets quite busy with the workday lunch crowd. The restaurant was very clean, inviting and casual. Staff greeted us when we entered and helped explain how their menu. It is very similar to the other "fill a bowl" concept, casual restaurants, but in this case Mediterranean delights await you. There are several different types of proteins, and as a pesco-vegetarian, I was pleased to see tofu as an option. There's falafel too! (The tofu was well seasoned and not bland little cubes of food.) You can do a bed of greens, pita, hummus, or rice as your base. I went with the rice which was deliciously seasoned, though (spoiler alert!) next time I might go with hummus. There are many fresh herbs options for toppings, including spices and sauces. All the vegetables were crispy, and the portions were generous. The price point is fair and what you would expect to see at similar restaurants. I wish Olive U were closer to my home, because it's a great fresh option if you're looking for a quick take-home meal as well. I did see that they offer family-style dinners where you get a large portion and everybody eats the same thing. I think that is a great idea and not something I've seen at the other bowl - style restaurants. As I've already spoiled above (hee her , I definitely plan a return visit one day. Or they could just build locations in Broward! Hint hint.

There are not enough Turkish places around and so glad to see Marash!…read more I stopped in to pick up some food to bring home, and I must now say, I have to go back and dine in! I didn't think I would enjoy the food as much as I did. Marash seems to be quite understated, simple, no frills, but it definitely delivers well in both flavor and friendliness. I love that they're in the same plaza as my neighborhood Trader Joe's tons of parking! And I was able to go in and out quickly before ordering ahead. The location is quite small, but enough tables to dine in from what I saw since it didn't seem to be too busy when I stopped in. I got some tea and the lamb kebab to go, and loved that they prepared it quickly and fresh right in front of me. I was super happy when I got home and it was just as delicious as what I was smelling in the car I was salivating! I'm not surprised they have great reviews, and I can't wait to dine in next time.

That said, $12.95 lunch special for a gyro, fries, and a fountain drink is a pretty solid deal. I just wish the gyro had been as good as the price.

Since I…read morewas out running errands, I used my Yelp app to place a pickup order ahead of time, which made everything super convenient. For my first visit, I went with the San Diego wrap with chicken shawarma, since it's one of their signature items. It comes loaded with lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, red cabbage slaw, and pickled onions, plus fries and feta cheese, all topped with their garlic yogurt sauce. I also added a side of dill yogurt because I love dipping my wraps. Everything is wrapped in their flatbread and grilled to order. The portion is pretty large in my opinion and definitely shareable if you're not starving. I ended up eating half and saving the rest for later. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I especially loved the red cabbage slaw and the garlic yogurt sauce. The flavors all complemented each other really well. I also like that this a healthier fast-food option. Their menu has a lot of variety too, including wraps, bowls, plates, fries, and even family meals and catering. The store itself was very neat and clean, with plenty of seating if you decide to dine in. My order was ready earlier than expected, and the staff was friendly and welcoming when I picked it up. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

For our main we tried the Rack of Lamb, which was delicious and cooked perfectly. The pinor noir red to start and the malbec paired well with the lamb. The restaurant has earned multiple Zagats mentions - everyone needs to try Joseph's at least once.

Not exactly the ambiance you want, especially if you have mold allergies or sensitivities. The food was good overall, although the grilled calamari was completely bland. Unfortunately, the service left much more to be desired. We were celebrating my friend's birthday, which I noted on our OpenTable reservation. We also mentioned it to staff several times, including when ordering dessert. During our meal, we watched 5-6 other birthday tables receive the little Roman candle, singing and clapping. When our friend's dessert arrived, however, the server simply put it on the table and walked away. No candle, no singing, no acknowledgment. We ended up singing Happy Birthday ourselves. We weren't expecting special treatment--just the same treatment we watched other birthday guests receive. After mentioning it repeatedly, being completely overlooked was incredibly disappointing. Good food, but between the mold smell and the lack of attention to what should have been a special occasion, we won't be returning. Good food is easy to find; making your guests feel welcome apparently isn't.
