GOT SHOT UP It was very fun and had a good time but...I was 1 of 5 white peoples there (not racist bc I have a story to back me up) I go get food and outta nowhere I hear fireworks but everyone starts ducking(I'm from Utah so I'm excited for fireworks when I hear it) than I think oh shit that's not fireworks. Me ands my friends Jump the fence and run and the lady next to me goes down, right when the abt 84th shot fires. I thought her ass was done for and me next but she just had heels on and took a tumble from being scared. Thought my ass was dead but honestly awesome experience. Would be better as a venue n not so much a real life nerf war but it is what it is. Have fun if you come here and bring somebody fat to take some shots for ya if you need too. Craziest thing someone from Utah has witnessed but normal Tuesday for mf's from west Nashville. read more

Came here back in Feb for lunch but accidentally gave a 5 star review to a place down the street. I had the same thing today, the beef kabob with lentil soup starter, and my friend and I also had tiramasu. Service was a lot slower today but still friendly. The meat just wasn't as flavorful or tender S the last time. Lentil soup was yummy. Hot tea was nice with cloves the way I like it. Sure has changed since Feb, but was still decent. They do validate parking as well. read more

I ordered a shawarma to go and when I picked up, I realized that the meat was not fresh. It was a day old that was re- heated. I saw it taken out from the fridge and re-heated then sliced. Customer service was ok. read more

This was the first time we've ever been here. We went to their other location once in Newbury Park. We met Michael there and it was absolutely amazing. He said his parents owned it and they also have a location in Encino so we told him that next time we are in that area we'll go there. Well, here we are. We ordered the "basic" trio omelet and needless to say "It was the best one we have EVER had! read more

Should have given it 3 stars but decided to be nice. Went there for lunch. Place looks huge, nice like they get they s*** done. Walked through the door nobody to greet me. Had to look around to see where to order from. Got to the cashier who was colder than a block of ice. "is this where I order?" "Yeah" word of advice - put a smile on your face and better interaction will avoid these poor stars. Didn't look like she was having a good day, but that's not customers' issue. Wanted a combo plate, they didn't have it. Place this big could not get beef and chicken together. Because $14 is not enough. Having said all that, chicken plate was good. Nice stage for entertainment. read more

Two Week's Special Two entrees for $10!!!! All good! Comes with rice. Ground Beef Ground Chicken Piece Chicken Salad Nice place. Band area. Large eating area. Outdoor seating. Looks like a all-you-can-eat section inside but its not. Pretty weird setting for a nice looking restaurant. You pick the food there, pay for the food, get your drink & refill it there. - mostly self-serve then. Service/waiter is nice. Location: Plaza with carousel, coffee bean, boutiques, etc.. Parking: Street Metors or unvalidated National Bank parking structure. read more

These are lovely folks serving excellent food at reasonable prices. I work at a high-rise next-door, and it gets redundant with the same old choices, Mediterranean express, gives healthy options with a lot of flavor for not exorbitant cost. Having used the facilities as well as ordered for delivery, I have experienced nothing but cleanliness and friendliness. Much respect :-) read more

Great food and great service ... My favorite dishes are chicken kebab and fish with rice read more

Well done! Delicious food. Really worth the price! Specially the salmon grill kebob is really good and tasty! read more

Came here for lunch with a few coworkers. We had only planned on taking 1hr lunch but since our service was so slow it took much longer than ever so we'll probably stick to ordering delivery. 3 1/2 if you could do half stars. We parked valet. I believe it's $2 in the structure for lunch. We were seated upon arrival tables are numbered so I assumed we'd be tended to. I didn't have water for most of my meal BC I never got a refill. When I did it was after I waved down what may have been a manager BC he seemed to want to make sure we were enjoying our meal as he saw our unhappy faces. My coworker and I shared a lunch special. The other two women had their own plates. Lentil soup is good. And their lunch specials are fairly priced and good beef katubeh. I always add sumac and they have some in a shaker so that was cool. I eat tons of middle eastern and this is a pretty good spot. Just wish they had better service. Our server was very polite. It just took forever to get a water refill and our food. They serve pita before the meal. We also ordered tzaziki and hummus their hummus is so good and the tzaziki as well. read more

Great spot, low key, good food good prices. I work nearby and come here all the time. Chicken Kabab, Beef Kabob, Salmon and they have bomb Jasmine. Katy is always amazing and takes care of us, as well as Moses. Give it a try for sure, they turn into a cool Persian club with belly dancing and partying. Fun fun. Definitely check it out if you want some good middle eastern food in an area where lunch spots are rough. read more

If you have no tolerance, don't come here. The service is horrible. I would give them no stars if I could. This place is worse than my monthiversary date at Hot Stuff Cafe. The waiters/waitresses and hosts was beyond unhelpful and unbelievably rude with an attitude on top. I called several times for reservations and they would said they were not open or was full. Yeah, you're not a very crowded restaurant if you only have one review so far on Yelp (before me) and no one cares to take any picture of your food to upload. So when I finally got a reservation after many attempts and multiple no return calls, I finally got to try it out. The food itself was very mediocre. Nothing special that I cannot get at another restaurant. Pricing definitely did not match what I was getting. Overall, felt like the restaurant was blah. None of the workers seemed happy and it just sent out this whatever vibe. No thanks to coming back again. read more

I work next door to the restaurant .... and yes the services is not the best, whether you order for delivery, pick up, or dine in. It's sad, BUT.. They have an AH-mazing Lential Soup that will make your mouth sing. Lential soup over powers the crappy service in my book ... just sayin' =D xx read more

The food is delicious! My favs: salmon lunch with salad, chicken kabobs with grilled veggies (esp the tomato), and yummy lentil soup. Their lentil soup is whole bean rather than creamy and the flavor is wonderful. I usually add some MangoHabanero sauce from BWWs (yes, a bottle lives in my purse) and it is magical. I order lunch from here as often as my budget will allow and delivery is always quick and courteous. Lunch special is less than $10; includes entree, soup or salad, and noon (awesome fluffy/chewy pancake bread). What are you waiting for? Try them just once. read more

I have been. Coming here on and off for punch and dinner. Kabob meats are fresh and delicious. I also like the persian salad. They have music on weekends which is fun. read more

Mediterranean Express - You can see and pick up the dishes that u like - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

2 stars because of service & food ! I was really disappointed in this place because I've heard a lot of good things about it so I finally decided to try it out. Let's start with service. Waitress was a bit air-headed. My brother & I ordered two different things & she thought we both ordered the same. He also ended up receiving chicken instead of beef. She never came back to check on us or give us refills, we had to flag her down if we needed anything & we both noticed that she would constantly come back to check on two tables behind us. When I would ask her for something she would never actually stop to listen to what I needed, she would just keep walking by & give a quick "okay". Her service made me feel unwelcome & it felt incredibly unfriendly. I ordered the lentil soup as it came with my meal & the soup was great. If I could give the soup stars of its own I'd give it a 4 out of 5. Pita tasted a little undercooked but okay when dipped in the soup or with butter. I ordered the beef shish kabob & I felt like the rice was way overcooked & was mush. The meat tasted alright but it left a weird after taste in my mouth. Overall the experience was not pleasant & since it was my first time there it didn't leave a good enough impression that would make me want to come back. read more

Great food, great lunch specials, friendly servers. I eat here all the time for lunch.

This place is delish! I work right by the place and got their koobideh lunch special. Tasted amazing and came with a lot of food. It came with a salad already but you have a choice of getting more salad or a soup. I got the their lentil soup, yummy! Also came with fresh lavash bread. Really good, Getting it today! Yum! Yum! Yum! As for the ambiance, the place looks way too good for the prices they charge. Very roomy and have nice patio outdoor seating. Reason for 4 stars and not 5: 1 time I phoned in and ordered and when I went to pick up, I think they mixed up my order. The food was still good but mixing up is not hence the 4 stars but still definitely worth the try! read more

Very tasty lunch menu. Great value, good portion size, delicious dishes. read more

Mediterranean Express - Exterior Sign - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've finally gotten a chance to try this place. It's next to my work, but I don't have time to sit down for lunch, although I suppose I could order take out next time. The lunch specials are delicious and super worth it! It comes with a soup (lentil), rice and salad. Substitutions cost extra. Service was excellent as well. For some reason, my entree only came with a salad and no grilled tomato! I didn't want the waitress to go and get me a side of rice, although she offered. The flat bread is really good! I will likely order take out next time. I really like how they offer fish (salmon) for the same price as chicken or beef! read more

YES!!! BEST food and Huge portions under 10$ I want to eat here the rest of my life! I ordered for the first time today. The delivery was so fast, and the food is fresh and tastes amazing. My office is nearby and now I don't have to eat fresh and easy ever again!!! I have found my new home! Thank you !!! read more

My review is based on lunch and catering from there. I have not had dinner there. The prices are fair for the portions you get in relation to other Mediterranean restaurants. Everything is tasty and not over/under seasoned. I would recommend their beef luleh kebab and the lentil soup, both are one of my favorites from them, but their chicken is also very good, never dry. It's a great place to stop by for lunch. I knocked down one star due to the service. The lady helping us was a bit dry and breezed through the table quickly to take our order. The restaurant wasn't even busy, so there was no reason for her to be in a hurry. She checked on us once or twice, however, she started cleaning the table before we were even finished eating! She even took my water off the table before any of the plates were taken away which was really annoying. Overall the food is great, I would definitely recommend going here for lunch. read more

I attended a Kangen water presentation and demostration that provided dinner. I had the salad, chicken, and rice. The atmosphere was simple and service was great. I can see myself coming back to order from the menu next time. I blogged about the evening and felt great after dinner. http://www.6699unlimited.com/6699_Unlimited/Health_Blog/Entries/2012/7/11_Kangen_Water.html read more

I love this place so much! Eat here at least once per week. The food NEVER disappoints and the prices are great for what you get! I highly recommend the Grilled Salmon plate! Ive had it at lease 10 times and its delectable everytime. read more

I love this place. You will be afraid to walk in because of concerning about the price. But.....actually, the price is reasonable....For lunch special, I can get $5 dish (1 Chicken Koobideh Kabob)....good choice... my husband enjoy food here every week. read more

Between a 2 star and a 3 star review - this place kind of has a lock on the market for persian food and entertainment. Totally overpriced in my opinion and DIRRRRTY. I mean seriously - the carpet looks like it has NEVER been washed and the booths are DISGUSTING with rips and tears and stains all over them. That being said - the staff are friendly and occassionally the music is decent. I mean it's like when you gotta take your fam out and they pretty much only eat persian food - you come here. The portions are a lot smaller than most persian restaurants and they don't have a huge selection that comes with your $50-$75 admission. I wish I could say I won't be coming back but I doubt that's true. Someone needs to compete with this place! read more

I work real close to this restaurant. My co workers and I order their Caesar salad with chicken for lunch. The employees already know us, by name. We absolutely love this place. (Aside from the rude waitress/ employee that occasionally takes our order.) read more

Love this place! The homemade pita bread is so good, and the chicken is tender and flavorful. Also love the lentil soup and house salad dressing. They deliver to nearby local businesses which is a life saver. I am going to start ordering here all the time!!!!! The lunch special is cheap (7-10 dollars max) and comes with a ton of food, I never finish even half of it. Highly recommended for a great lunch or dinner. read more

Came here for the lunch specials because it's close to work, unfortunately can't say we will be coming back. Hummus was completely bland. The tandoori chicken tasted really old and flavorless. Service was ok. The reviews were pretty much accurate read more

Maybe this place has better service at night. I work a block away and some coworkers said they had good food. I ordered at 11:22 and their lunch starts at 11:30. The guy says 10-15 mins. I get there at 11:44 and the food still isn't ready. I let him know I'm on a 30 min lunch break and he says it'll be ready soon. 10 mins later I get my food. I told him what time I called and he said "You did not call 30 mins ago." Is he serious? I didn't even get to enjoy my food I was eating so fast. I wouldn't have been as ticked if he would have just told me to come at 12. No biggie. Bottom line: food is good. Service not so good. Just know to order way in advance. read more

Best place for lunch! You cant really beat the deal for the portion you receive! Also it comes with a side of salad or amazing lento soup! I usually get this to go and it is always quick and easy. Also how can I forget, their bread is delicious and hand made :) read more

Ok, its been a long time since I wrote that review and in the last year they have changed up some of the management and things are a lot better. read more

Good Food.... Good for Lunch with Co-workers.... Cheap price for big servings.... I give it 4 stars because despite it says express.... The food comes out very slow and they have limited servers. Not recommended for employees with 30 min lunch breaks only. read more

I have to say this is by far the WORSE service I have ever experienced EVER!!! I bought a coupon off http://restaurant.com and tried for about 3 months to make a reservation. Every time I called they would also say they were not open or that they were completely booked. On several occassions they told me they would call me if anything opened up but never even bothered to take my basic info such as my name and phone number and would hang up on me. And of corse its needless to say they never called me back. Finally, after months of trying, the host GAVE ME reservation for 7: 30 only to find out when I got there that the restaurant wouldnt be open till 9:00 pm. At this point I was determined to speak to the manager and so I waited. At about 8 50 the waitress finally offered me a table and acted as if she were doing me a favor by letting me in 10 mins early. I never got to speak to the manager and when I mentioned the certificate I had purchase from restuarant.com she rudley stated they didnt take "those kinds of coupons". I ended up walking out of the empty restaurant, didnt try the food and have no intention of ever doing so. Not even worth the one star I gave them! read more

This place is the best value for lunch. The waitress named Kati gives great service, very fast and caring. I have enjoyed the lamb shank for lunch for $8.95, comes with baghali polo (green herbed rice with fava beans), and your choice of lentil soup or salad. The lamb is cooked for a long time under a low heat and is nicely trimmed and has a nice flavor of spices and celery in the sauce. Their broiled trout at lunch is also great, just nicely coated with tasty spices and also comes with soup or salad and rice. The naan is freshly made there, one man doing nothing but cooking it in the tandoor and hooking it with a long pole when it is done. We always ask for it a little more well-done than it usually comes. They also have the usual Persian specialties, chicken or beef kabobs, stews, and so on. My husband likes their combination, which is a skewer of beef filet kabob and a skewer of ground beef (koobideh). All the lunch specials come with the soup or salad. There is also a small dispenser of half-pickled vegetables which is self-serve available. We didn't know about it until we noticed other patrons having it and since then, we are hooked. Celery, cauliflower, carrots, whole cloves of garlic, and chilies. Help yourself and don't miss them, like we did the first 4 times we came. The same place changes completely for dinner, becoming a Persian cabaret with entertainment on the weekends. Then it comes with the standard dinner and Persian performers after. Cover charge includes the dinner, drinks and extra appetizers or desserts extra. Price will vary depending the who is performing. They close the curtains and cover the food prep area then and it might as well be a different place altogether. For me, I prefer the lunch. Oh, by the way, the Persian friends you may have all call this place Cabaret Tehran. read more
