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.

Mediterranean Bistro is not only the best *Mediterranean* restaurant in Omaha, it is one of the best Omaha restaurants! From the inviting and authentic decor to the helpful and knowledgeable staff, this place is tops. The tabbouleh salad is a refreshing change from your typical side dish. The kabobs are wonderful, particularly the chicken kabobs, marinated in yogurt, skewered, and grilled to perfection. The grilled vegetables are delicious. If you are in the mood for a delicious meal, an attractive atmosphere, and reasonable prices, you can't go wrong with Mediterranean Bistro. read more

We went back to this place after 12 years few weeks ago. I don't remember what we had that time however their menu looks very diverse mixed for kabob to curry. Good selections and like the ambience also. Although we went for lunch and did not order any wine but looks like they have good selections of wine as well. read more

We love Mediterranean Bistro, food is always excellent. Have the hummus and baba gunoush appetizer. All the kabobs are excellent but I love (an always order) either the Chicken Tabuli salad or the FESENJUN (Chicken in pomegranate sauce) with rice. This is a little sweet )the sauce) so if you dont like any sweetness in your entree you may not like it, otherwise it is excellent. read more

a group of 12 of us went there on a tuesday. Except for 2 other people we were the only ones there. It took almost 3 hours for our meal, water glasses were not refilled and when several of us ordered dessert, the waitress rolled her eyes. at the end of our evening, the kitchen staff took the trash out walking out right next to our table. And to top it off, after horrible service and poor quality food, the waitress charged us 20% gratuity! Our group will not go back read more

The food here is good but if you want great service or nice staff, not the place to go! We usually carry out and we are regulars and this one time is making us definitely not go back! Tonight when I called, the waitress was extremely rude and interrupted me before I even got finished ordering. She didn't ask what kind of dressing I wanted for a salad and assumed Italian and when I got to the restaurant, she wanted to charge me a lot extra for a side of ranch so I asked her to replace it instead of the Italian and she seemed annoyed that I would even ask such a thing. She was just not pleasant whatsoever and has no business working for a restaurant, she should be behind a desk and not in the public! She was awful!!! Also, they charge a ton for very small portions, I had 3 tiny pieces of chicken and a ton of sauce. They used to have a lot bigger portions but not the case anymore!!! My father in laws stead kebab was very chewy and not edible tonight. This restaurant has truly gone downhill and we won't be going back and I will be telling everyone about our bad experience and not to go back!!! When you are treated this poorly, everyone will hear about it and I have lots of friends it will be heard all over social media!!! read more

This place used to be so good, so either their kitchen staff had a really bad day or someone is intentionally trying to take this restaurant down. My family agrees this is the worst meal we have ever experienced. We picked up take-out and we simply could not even stomach it. The Kubideh Kabob was so tough and hard it was difficult to cut through it with a knife. How does ground beef get that tough? The Ghormeh-Sabzi was the saltiest thing we have ever tasted in our lives. No one would take more than one bite. And the Eggplant Pilau was way too sweet. Bottom Line: We tossed it all in the trash and called in an order to Jaipur and, thankfully, the Jaipur delivered the same consistency of delicious food. read more

Saturday night 6:30ish and lots of open tables the entire time we were there but hostesses seemed irritated we didn't have a reservation. They sat us in the back corner booth. Fine we were ok waiting, actually expected to wait but no wait. Service was SLOW!! From the time we were seated until drinks arrived probably 30 minutes! Food was ok, we had lamb, steak, chicken & salmon at our table and by far the best was the steak kabob meat! If we go back will definitely get the steak kabob salad! She had way more meat and veggies on her huge salad than any of us got on our kabob plates! It was terribly hot in our crammed little booth and for the slow service I'd be hard pressed to go again. I will say the cucumber Bloody Mary was delicious. Can't make any recommendations on dessert, the service was so slow and it was so warm in there we weren't about to stay another hour for dessert!! read more

Great service by Jessica. She was very helpful with suggestions. Had the chicken wrap. Yummy and large portions. Kicked it up with their habanero sauce. Took away one star because the place is haunted as shit. read more

AMAZING and I don't eat much meat typically. Had the chicken kabob for lunch and it was seasoned delicious without being over powerful in any way. Simply perfect and it was great with the grilled vegetable and rice. read more

Excellent, authentically Mediterranean dishes plus a couple of fusionesque offerings. The fesenjan ("Pomegranate and Walnut Chicken") is comparable to what you'd find in a Persian joint in L.A. However, the mound of rice is about 1/4 the size -- just FYI. We wish they served albaloo polo too. All in all, a good value for the price, and astronomically better than the infuriating disappointment that is Ahmad's. read more

I've been here several times, and I've always had a good experience. I love, love, love the lamb kebab. The vegetables are perfect, the lamb is moist and well prepared. I've recommended this place to several people. It's maybe a little more expensive than most, but just a little. It's worth the money. It's usually pretty quiet on a weeknight. I've not tried a lot of things on the menu, but the meals I've had have made me want to go back. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Had a great meal here. Somethings I didn't like but that's to be expected from any restaurant. Worth the stop plus carry out is a nice plus. read more

After reading through the reviews, I figured I would add my own since I used to work here many years ago. Through the years since then, I have periodically stopped back in...sometimes take-out, sometimes bringing a friend to dine-in. I will say that there are some definite hits and misses with the food. Hits: spanakopita, lavosh, hummus & baba ghanoush, chicken kabobs, tabouli. Misses: pomegranate chicken (too sweet), Sabzi (somtimes bland). I know firsthand that the food quality is very high, but I have witnessed the price increase over the years to the point of being unreasonable. Quite a few people have complained about the service...one of their main servers is great (very attentive & helpful) but some of the newer servers have clearly not been trained well. Overall, I gave it 3 stars because of the inconsistency of food & service. read more

Seriously.....we have ordered from this place multiple times and each time, they mess up our order. And every time they mess it up the order it is to their benefit. For example, today I ordered 2 veggie skewers, a side of feta and olives, spicy toss chicken, and a small plate of shish kebab. What I received was two veggie kebabs (15 dollar difference in their favor), an appetizer size of feta and olives (4 in their favor), a kubideh versus the small plate (7 in their favor) and veggie spicy toss versus the chicken (2 in their favor). Every time you order, they mess up. I love their food, but the incompetence of the service has resulted in our office not ordering or going to the restaurant again! read more

Excellent service and exceptional food prepared to your liking. Great for a group gathering too.

Stopped in for lunch with a co-worker. Chicken lahvosh is my new favorite dish! The chicken tabouli with the yogurt was really good too. This place is a hidden gem. read more

Mediterranean Bistro - Chicken Lavosh - Mediterranean Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Been going to your restaurant for many years now on & off AND once again after leaving lunch Tuesday decided I had to complain!!! It doesn't matter what you order or how many people you have in your party it takes WAY too long.. I'm talking 25 mins to get a Greek salad with grilled chicken. ( no it's never very busy at lunch-possibly for this reason!) I love the food , it's consistently good but the kitchen has got to get with it!!!! read more

Very pleased with my lunch item at this restaurant. I ordered the Greek salad with grilled chicken. Would highly recommend. Other items on the menu were tempting. I plan on visiting again. read more

The chef is from Tehran and her food is authentic and tasty. Much better than Ahmad's. Tender kabab, beautiful rice, delicate spices, the list goes on. Comfortable room, great service, a menu that reflects the tasty beauty of Persian cuisine. Save yourself the hassle of parking in Old Market and the expense of pricey, slapped-together mediocre Persian food; spend your money on thoughtfully prepared deliciousness and quality ingredients in West Omaha. read more

Decided to give it a try after a recommendation. Location is a little hidden and was a bit skeptical based on dates appearance of the interior. Menu states they've been in business 20 years and decor backs up that claim. Had a steady stream of patrons (seemed to be mostly an older clientele) so they do a good amount of business. We tried the Appetizer Platter to get a sampling and enjoyed everything but the Dolmeh which although had a lot of flavor seemed a little overlooked. We were highly disappointed that they were out of spanakopita, but at least they offered a sub. Seems odd to be out of a popular appetizer so early in the evening on a Saturday night. We got the Combo Kabob and the Caspian Lamb Kabob for our main course. The beef was so tender it was amazing! And the flavor of the chicken as fantastic too! I wasn't as thrilled with the Lamb as it was a little tougher, but it was still delicious. Kabobs is their main thing which is what the menu is focused on. Dinner was good, but a little too pricey I felt... read more

This is a great place if you want poor service with attitude and blah food that takes a long time to receive. Don't expect refills. You may receive a surprise hair in your food too! I know some people swear by this place but I swear when people ask me if I want to go there again. I've given it too many tries and can't overlook the rude server who works weekday lunches or the blah food. This could be a good place if the management paid attention to the key things that customers expect. read more

This place has the best Mediterranean place in Omaha. We get their catering all the time at work and I've also ate in a few times and the food is always good and fresh. The beef and chicken kabobs are my favorite, as well as the pitas, rice and grilled vegetables. My only few complaints about this place is sometimes it makes me a little tummy sick and also the service could be better. When ordering catering over the phone once the lady who answered lectured me about calling at a busy time and told me to call back later. My last issue is the decor, this inside of this place is really dated and it could be cleaner but overall the food is wondeful. read more

I have been coming here for the last 20 years. It is quite probably the most consistent restaurants in terms of the great food and service . I have over the years introduced many of my friends, family and colleagues to this place and I believe that they all have had similar experiences. I intend to continue this tradition. read more

Very good food and ambiance. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the vegetarian moussaka, it is rather runny and soupy, but I just may of had it on an "off" day. Other than that my wife and I love the place. Pretty good service as well. read more

I ordered the falafel wrap, with a side of potatoes. I was given a choice of tortilla flavors, I chose the spinach. The wrap was VERY good. Th falafel was crunchy and nutty flavored. The lettuce and vegetables were fresh. It was served with a small dish of tadziki & hummus. The potato's were also good, but did not stand out like the wrap. I would definitely recommend and will be back. read more

Been here twice food wasn't good to me. It was just bland. Service was nice but if you like Mediterranean food. I recommend going somewhere else read more

We went on game day, so the place was empty - only 3 tables were occupied. We had the appetizer platter, vegetarian knobs and chicken kabobs. The dolmas were warm and very good. The vegetables were perfectly seasoned with just enough char. The chicken was juicy and delicious. An excellent find. The decor is a little outdated (mood lighting, bead curtains) but the food was delicious read more

Picked up chicken kabobs for dinner. Very refreshing after a day of drinking beer and eating pizza. Chicken, rice & veggies were great.

I wanted to love this place. Really I did. We came in excited to eat, left disappointed in the whole experience. As foodies, this seemed like a win, a "hidden gem" if you will. I'm sorry to say that our experience does not warrant another trip. The hummus was good, that was the one positive aspect of the night. read more

This is some of the best food in town!! Hands down, the best hummus ever! The falafel and lavosh are to die for!! The wait staff is SUPER friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place.. Wonderful atmosphere! read more

Gross! Rude and unkept staff! Food was cold and of poor quality. We were one of five tables dining for lunch. While the staff loudly discussed tattoo shop preferences, cats and going on a smoke break a fellow guest had to get up from his table to ask for the check. Our check however, was laid on the table before we were finished. I will not be surprised when they go out of business! Unless you like being served poor quality food by moody wait staff don't waist you time or money! read more

We have eaten here several times and the food is wonderful. The atmosphere is pleasant, and service was fine. We don't go out for fast food, so are not in a hurry when we eat. We felt neither rushed nor neglected. I highly recommend this place. Much better than the chain restaurants. The food quality and wine are excellent. Prices are reasonable. read more

Nice place. Great atmosphere and servers are very friendly and helpful. Had the chicken saltini and tasted great. Great for dining or takeout as well. read more

walked in average dress. everyone was decked out. waitress didn't want to seat us. had my daughter who asked if they had rice 4 times. and the waitress never answered her.. ordered 2 salads which took an hour to get. served 5 other tables that came in after us. i used the restroom saw our salads in the back. asked the waitress how long it takes for a salad. right before she brought them too us. her child that is in a car seat behind the counter needed a diaper change. so she did that and you can see her walking back with kid on hip and dirty diaper in hand, then brings our salads. so needless to say we didn't stay or eat or pay. rudest people i have ever met. we weren't dressed nice enough for them. i firmly believe they tried to wait us out in hopes we would leave before they have to bring us our food. all because we didn't look nice enough for them. never go there again!!!!!!! oh and by the way the other waitress was half dressed. wife beater with black bra hanging out. but we weren't dressed nice enough. read more
