    I really wanted to like Mediterranean bistro...especially because there's not a ton of Mediterranean places to eat out west. The service was fine, nothing memorable. The food was decent, but not memorable either. My biggest complaint was that a lot of the food was bland. The rice was almost flavorless, and both of the meats I ordered lacked true flavor. It looked like there was plenty of seasoning on there, but honestly it didn't taste like much. The highlight of the meal was the baklava. It did taste a little mealy, but on the hole it was the best thing I ate the whole night. The ambience needs some updating. It kind of looks like a cross between Persian and Mediterranean inside, but all of the interiors and decorations could use some TLC. Maybe just an a dining room refresh? Everything looked well used.

    Chicken kebab with rice, Looks better than it tasted. 3/10

    Mediterranean bistro is an Omaha classic, tucked away right off 120th and blondo behind the gas station and next to hurts donuts. FOOD : the food is nice to have as a healthier option with loads of flavors compared to the standard American cuisine. I got the chicken kabob with hot sauce and substituted veggies for the rice. The chicken was honestly not great, it was pretty greasy and chewy, I caught a bone which I'm never thrilled about. To be honest as years have gone by, I really like this place less and less. As for the veggies, they were alright, nothing really special about them they were just chard and that was that. Overall kind of a waste of money if I'm being really honest, much prefer El Basha or other Mediterranean spots in Omaha. TIPS / THINGS TO KNOW : if you're doing takeout they automatically add a 10% gratuity to your order. I have had issues here in the past where they have added A lot of money on come time to pay that was unnecessary, so make sure you know what you're paying for and you don't go without checking the receipt. They also add tax to each plate instead of to the order overall, so another thing to note. Also, they don't offer sides of hummus unless you're paying $10 extra dollars for it which sucks compared to other Mediterranean spots in town. Lastly, The menu prices they have online are different than the prices they have in store, everything is about a dollar more expensive when you go inside. Unfortunately this will probably be the last time I ever go here, it just solidified that I truly don't love the spot if I'm being honest. Not only is the way they charge sketchy, but the food really just isn't as good as it used to be.

    Grilled Chicken Salad - delicious!!

    The interior is beautifully decorated and you feel comfy able. We LOVED the lavosh! Had it last night as an appetizer and we're still talking about it! The Grilked Chicken Salad with their house dressing was delicious. Everything on that plate was delicious! The only negative I can say is that we feel embarrassed wanting to go back after less than 24 hours!

    I was excited to try Mediterranean Bistro. My boyfriend has been telling me how the Chicken Ala Pomegranate reminds him of something his grandmother used to make. Of course, I had to try something different. I went with their house specialty, kabobs with a side salad. I truly preferred the side salad over the meal. The salad dressing is delicious. The kabobs were ok, a little bland. I liked the steak over the chicken. The overall service was excellent. The service was quick and efficient. Quick callout. If you are looking at the menu online, it automatically defaults to the lunch menu. If you are going for dinner, make sure you click the dinner menu. The items are slightly different and the cost is more for dinner.

    This is easily my favorite place to eat. The food is simply amazing! The staff as well and it's clean. If I could I would eat here everyday.

My branzino Pan fried skin on ( the best way ) Juicy. Great spice yet over spiced On a bed of rice. Pickled vegetables variety and a hummus and olive chutney to mix with and compliment your mouths symphony of flavors. Beef dumplings. A bit bland... Excellent. Wish I lived here in Omaha. Date night or casual. What a great find. Thank you yelp! Why not 5 stars... over spiced fish. Sacrelidge!! My mouth shouldn't burn after a fish meal. Dumplings bland. I would definitely come again For the atmosphere and wine list alone.

The owner is really nice. The decor is not fancy but the interior is spacious, clean, and comfortable. I think they have been trimming down the menu a bit to focus more on the Turkish and Mediterranean style food (and the burgers). I think there used to be more Chinese food choices, and maybe pizza. The change is fine for me. I feel like when restaurants try to have a lot of items on the menu, they are usually not as good as places with a narrower focus. Everything I have ever ordered there is still on the menu, and I've always been happy with everything I've had here.
