3/15/2026 Ate list: Gyro - 9.1 We've been in The Villages for a stretch now and a lot of the food was feeling very similar so we wanted to switch it up. This was ideal. Incredibly delicious. Surprisingly good. First meal is awhile that felt both "fresh" and "refreshing." If we're back in town, definitely stopping here and the "Food Hall/Market" square it's part of feels like a semi-hidden gem! read more

We loved the Mediterranean shrimp bowl. It's unclear if they offer free refills on the sodas. read more

Luma Mediterranean Kitchen - Shrimp cooked to perfection! - Mediterranean Near Me - The Villages, Florida

Great new edition to the Sawgrass Grove Marketplace in The Villages. It's in the old Show Kitchen spot and is a FMK restaurant. It's a bowl/wrap concept with a Mediterranean twist. When i went, the line was about 30 people long, but it was opening day. It moved pretty fast. You have the option of a base - lentils, jasmine rice, romaine or power greens. Then you pick your protein - chicken shawarma, lamb gyro meat, another type of lamb or shrimp. You have the option of doing double meat or mixing proteins (I had shrimp and chicken). Once you do that, you pick your toppings and crunch - things like pickles onions, edamame, crispy chick peas, sunflower seeds, roasted beets, feta cheese, etc. They also have dips such as tzatziki and avocado hummus. Then you select your dressing. They also have 2 types of pita wraps - chicken shawarma and lamb gyro. If you get a drink - they give you the cup and you can refill at your leisure. I got a bowl the day I went and it was delicious. I had chicken and shrimp on mine, roasted beets, feta, avocado hummus, feta, pickled onions, crispy chick peas and Greek dressing. Sooooo good - I had to stop myself from going back the next day, but I will be back soon. The icing on the cake???? It's so affordable - Bowls are $8.95 and if you get shrimp, it's $9.95. There is plenty of seating inside the market area and you can also go outside for plenty of outdoor seating. Live music goes on at Sawgrass Grove every night from 5-9pm and there is a bar inside the marketplace and one outside. So grab a drink, a bowl and go out and listen to music while you eat. Fun night out with friends or family. read more

First time at Yamas, service was great, food was good. For the price point of $32 a plate there should've been more food. We sat at the house bar so we could look at the lake and hear the music at the stage. read more

This is now the third time here and each time, I learn a bit more about their system in terms of so many items per each dish from which to choose. In a previous review, I posted that they need to add something more to their tzatziki. Upon mentioning this to the girl checking me out, she said that they had temporarily been out of dill and so that may have been the issue. However, I did not have that to test out as instead I ordered a salad bowl. So this time, with the avocado hummus, lots of olives and a few other items plus falafels, it was done. I requested the Greek dressing and then asked to also have the balsamic dressing. That was added and it makes the dish really good and it looked delicious. So, now I am a happy camper, understanding what and how to order what I like. As usual the service was fast and friendly. I guess I will give the tzatziki a chance next time maybe... read more

Luma Mediterranean Kitchen - Salad bowl- nicely done (by me!) - Mediterranean Near Me - The Villages, Florida

First visit today but certainly not the last! A lot of eateries in The Villages I call 'one and dones'. I ordered the gyro and I built a bowl. Out of the two, I would reorder the gyro; it was delicious! The bowl I would build with different choices next time, it was a bit too busy. Fast friendly service. The price was so reasonable at under $20 for both items. Very satisfying overall. read more

What is good...the staff was very cordial. The bad...the food. We were so disappointed. We love Cava and hoped this would be very similar. While the "build your bowl" and options are similar the final product is lacking. They use a "lentil stew" which is watery, mushy lentils. The rice is white and small grain. Put those two together and you have lentil rice soup. Then a protein and other options are laid on top. I got shrimp. It had no seasoning and was extremely bland. My husband got the falafels. Very dry. So while the staff got them a three, the food was pretty lame and we will not be going back. read more

This is a fast food restaurant In side of Sawgrass villages. The Market. Best Mediterranean sandwiches for all. read more

Had lunch at The Villages new Sawgrass location. Enjoyed the ambience, flavors, options. I ordered the chicken shawarma but the chicken was dry. On another visit, got gyros meat and toppings, but was disappointed when requesting a little added dressing to be charged another $buck read more

Luma Mediterranean Kitchen was just okay for me. The atmosphere is pretty standard for a fast-casual Mediterranean place -- you order at the counter, grab your tray, and seat yourself. There are no servers, so it feels more like a quick-stop eatery than a true dine-in restaurant. The food itself could have been better. The menu doesn't offer many side options, and the only real side they include is pita chips. I would've liked to see more variety, especially for Mediterranean cuisine. which usually has great choices like hummus. The flavors were decent, but not very authentic compared to other Mediterranean spots I've tried. The drinks are just basic fountain drinks, nothing special. The seating situation wasn't the greatest either, since the restaurant is located inside the marketplace area at Sawgrass Grove. It makes the dining experience feel a bit cramped and not very comfortable. It's not a terrible option for the area, but there are definitely better Mediterranean restaurants out there. Luma has potential, but overall it just didn't stand out for me. read more

This place was a great stop for lunch on our way to New Orleans. Not too far out from I-10 We had the chicken gyro. We ordered online and picked up to take in road. Service was fast! read more

Food was fresh and delicious and service was excellent! Will definitely be back! We liked the ambiance of The Market as well.

A new favorite! Helpful and friendly staff. Yummy food. Incredible value! Definitely will be back often!

We were so amazed how good the food was and the prices were great. My husband had the chicken pita and I had the gyro, I would ask for more Greek dressing, a little dry. We will come back. read more

This is my new favorite spot here in the villages. The food selection is fresh, vibrant and absolutely delicious! My go to has been the shrimp ... portion size is very generous... taste, delicious....the shrimps are big and juicy.... So far I have yet to be disappointed! The variety of add ins contribute to an outstanding meal. This is a new hidden gem found way back at sawgrass.....on the left before you get to the bathrooms. Glad to have come across this. Healthy, delicious and staff are terrific. Veronica...... thank you for making my shrimp perfect every time!!!!!! I would eat here every day if I could!!!! read more

What is there to tell? I never got no food never got an order. Never got nothing. you don't wanna hear 85 characters.

Food was OK. The photos here on Yelp definitely do not look like what you get. The chicken was all cut up and chunks, not nicely sliced chicken breast, like in the photos. The bowl was not filled to the top like the photos either. Wish I had taken a photo. Like I said, it was OK-won't be running back to have it too soon. read more

We had the chicken Greek salad. It was awful. It is my Go-To meal when we dine out. The shawarma meat was very fatty thigh meat swimming in a sauce. Neither my husband nor I could eat the lunch. We threw it out. read more

We eat at Luma at least once a week maybe twice on occasion, they have such variety and build your own is so healthy. The proteins are always fresh as are the salads and veggies. Great addition to Sawgrass Food Hall - Keep up the great work ! read more
