I feel bad for the sorry souls that haven't tried this place. I would honestly just let this family adopt me and stay here for the rest of my life. This is a textbook hidden gym and I would eat here everyday if I could!! Doesn't look like much from outside but once you walk in you feel like you're in a different place and the family that owns this place makes you feel right at home! They're super kind and caring. The food is outstanding!! I had the baba ghanoush, sample platter, and original kanafa and everything blew me away! It was all so fresh and tasty!! I've never had kanafa before but it was crazy and I would recommend trying it if you haven't, it was really fun as it's just very different from the typical desserts in the United States!! read more

The food was good and the service exceptional. The location is a little difficult to find but worth it.

I called in to Mediterranean Grill to order a Gyro and Greek salad for lunch. When I went to pick it up I came in and my order was ready and bagged up. I paid and drove home. Upon arrival I sit down to enjoy my lunch and notice there is no Pita. I called the restaurant back and asked if their Gyro typically comes with pita, she put me on hold to go and ask. She came back to the phone and advised that yes it should have come with the pita and apologized and said I could come back to pick it up. I begrudgingly drove back (now halfway into my lunch time) to pick it up. Upon my arrival I asked if they would give me a something like a Baklava or a cup of Mango Lassi for my inconvenience? She went back to ask the owner/manager and came back and said, "I'm sorry, she said that was not possible, but I can give you a cup of water". That seemed like a slap in the face to offer me a cup of water to compensate for your mistake. After all that, in regards to the food, the gyro meat was rather dry and the lettuce was soggy. Unfortunately, I will likely be going to Olive Cafe (which is in the same shopping center) in the future when I am looking for Mediterranean food. read more

I was leary when we got there since we were the only lunch customers. That's probably because of the location. The service and food were excellent. We had chicken tandoori, chicken biryani, and a gyro with fries. All were delicious and large portions. read more

Got the butter chicken and garlic naan based on reviews I saw here. Next time I will call and order ahead, but it was so worth the wait. Super delicious sauce and the basmati rice is perfectly seasoned and seems to somehow be both subtle and bursting with flavor in a great balance. The fresh ingredients, along with generous portion (multiple meals, and I love leftovers!) made the price seem acceptable. Next time I will order it with a little more spice - they offered but I wanted to start with regular just to get a baseline. The lady running the counter was friendly and offered me water while I waited. Great experience, will definitely be back! read more

The food is amazing!!! I'd give it 10 stars if they'd let me. Their baklava is fabulous! Korma chicken is fabulous! Mango lassa is fabulous! Butter chicken is fabulous! Samosas are fabulous! I'm going to keep coming back until I eat my way through the entire menu!! read more

Food was excellent and good portions for the price as well. Menu had lots of options from Indian to Mediterranean and all of it was very good. We had the chicken biryani and tandoori chicken which both were very moist and tender. We also tried the beef gyro wrap which was also great. read more

Stopped here for lunch on Monday, June 3rd. I ordered the lamb mandi with yellow saffron rice. The lamb was so tender that it fell apart when trying to use a fork to eat it.. i had to switch to a spoon. The two sauces that were provided were both delicious. I covered my meal with both. For dessert, i tried the momemade bakkalava. Wow, so good with lots of nuts and syrup. I will definitely return. read more

What a gem! I came with my family and we started with baba ghanouj and lentil soup--both were solid, especially the baba ghanouj. We ordered the Aruba's Special Mix and it was a perfect amount for 3 people and we are comfortably and happily full--it came with 2 beef kabobs and 2 chicken kabob skewers and both were delicious. It also came with a side of the most delicious beef-stuffed naan--it was definitely my family's favorite thing on the table, especially with the spicy sauce on the side, so fresh and delicious. I also got a side of French fries (because I swear they're better at ethnic restaurants), which were yummy with the garlic sauce. The dessert was warm cheese kunefe and I was truly in heaven. There was a beautiful cheese pull and it warmed my whole soul. The cherry on top was that the chef is an adorable smiley lady who came out to check on us. When I took my soup to go, she even gave me more lentil soup to go with it. I think she also makes cakes, as someone was ordering a cake from her for the next day. Her husband took our orders, so it is a delightful family business. The only negative thing I have to say is that the restaurant is cold, but I quickly forgot when the food arrived (just bring a jacket). I would be excited to come back! read more

This place is small but the food was excellent! I had egg biryani and my friend had the Rogan Josh and we both loved our meals. My husband said that was the best biryani he's had in KC. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Finally, a very good Indian Restaurant in South Kansas City, MO! KTM/ Mediterranean Grill. I have eaten their food now 5 times. The first time I ate-in and ordered the tabbouleh, Lamb Baryani (I asked for spicy) and Garlic Naan. While I was in the restaurant there were 5-6 to-go orders picked up and two of them were pretty large (big containers and multiple bags). So the Baryani portion I received was HUGE. The lamb was tender, the rice well seasoned and I broke a tiny sweat so it was perfect for spiciness. The Naan was moist and there were 2 salad plate-sized pieces that were chewy/bread versus some places where it is dried out and cracker-like. The Tabbouleh was very good although I think a little heavy on the onion. I ate there for $30 and have enough for 3-4 days of left overs. Such nice people working at KTM, too! I also have tried the Nepalese Momo (dumplings). I was not very fond of them, but I am more partial to steamed Chinese pork dumplings. Excellent food! read more

main coirse was great the ehg plant was none existant in the baba servive was also very good

The food and service at this small, family-run business were stellar during my dine-in lunch visit. This is truly a new and hidden gem. I sampled several items including their hummus, the baba ghanouj, the fresh salad (with a good variety of veggies and a tasty dressing), the warm and fresh pita bread, the decadent cheese kunefe dessert (enough for two), and the mint tea. All were delicious, and flavor-packed. The chicken shawarma with fries ($8.99) included a wrap packed with plenty of tasty, moist, premium chicken, while the fries were meaty and not greasy (just the way I like them). The wonderfully charming service from the owners (Aruba and her husband) was the star here. It was like having your grandmother lovingly prepare some of her family recipes for you. Excellent! read more

I was looking for mediterranean food on yelp and this place came up so I gave it a try. I am so happy I did. The chicken was moist and so flavorful. the hummus was smooth and yummy.

This is my new favorite place. read more

Alhamdulillah for this small, but mighty Filastini, family-owned Arab restaurant. I can't wait to return and try more, but just wanted to share my thoughts on their wondrous kanafa - a traditional cheese pastry that is sweet, crunchy, cheesy, and just delicious. I ordered three last night for iftar and it was enough for five people. Pop in the oven before serving and cover with the sugar syrup. HEAVEN IN MY MOUTH and an early Eid for me :) read more

The place is still called "Mediterranean Grill" but I am very sure that it is now under Asian Indian management. The shawarma and grilled chicken were too spicy for Mediterranean cuisine, the tzatziki sauce tasted like Indian mint chutney. The Mediterranean desserts were drenched with sugary syrup, as one would expect in Indian gulab jamuns. Note that this review is for mediterranean cuisine which I had there. There was a more extensive list of Indian dishes in a separate menu and I was told that they were delicious! read more

We were in Kansas City for a funeral and had an hour and change between "events" around lunch time. We searched near to where we going and found Aruba's. My wife spent a couple years in Jordan so we frequently try Mediterranean/middle eastern when we get a chance. We were so glad we did. Ordered the stuffed pita (stuffed with a delightful beef) and chicken shawarma for lunch. SO GOOD!!! Some of the best hummus we have ever had, the shawarma was excellent as well. Can't say enough about this unique little gem. Even got to say to Aruba herself who came out of the kitchen to say hello. What a delightful couple and what a delicious restaurant!!!! If you are in KC track this place down. You won't be disappointed. read more

Mediterranean Grill - What's left of lunch!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

The food here is always prepared fresh and it is very good! There are both Indian and Mediterranean options. Excellent service and very friendly staff too. read more

What a wonderful recommendation! One of my colleagues recommended this place, said of all the Mediterranean places he has tried in the area, he thought this was the most authentic and closest to Jordanian food. We drove 25 min on a weeknight, for dinner, and did not regret it for a second. It was well worth the drive. The couple who I assume were the owners, the sweetest people, were serving and I think cooking in the back too. The food was great - we ordered the Aruba special grill which had rice, skewers of grilled chicken cubes, beef kabobs and flat bread filled with ground beef (we would call it qeema naan in Pakistan). The meat was tender, moist and flavorful! Came with an assortment of chutneys which went well with the meat. We also had the baba ghanouj w/pita and kunefa at the end. These were both yummy and very satisfying. 5 stars for the food and the people! Will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends! Have to try the Mansaf now too, which sounds like is not a daily thing on the menu (actually is what my colleague had originally recommended). read more

First off started with bad service. The waiter finally took our order didn't bring us our hummus, drinks or silverware.. served half the table and the other half sat for 15 mins. The Gyro platter that was brought out was burned to a crisp and the falafel wasn't much better. When the rest of the food came out the falafel was burned and found a hair in my salad. Would not recommend ever. The service was bad the food was worse. read more

The food is so delicious and the service is friendly. There isn't a lot of atmosphere eating in, but they pack nicely for carry out.

What a wonderful little place! I had heard good things, but had not had the chance to try it for myself until today. We had the chicken schwarma sandwich and the chicken schwarma with hummus. Both were delicious! Some of the best I've had. The baklava was to die for. So yummy. The owner is a sweet man. I will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes. read more

A wonderful family restaurant. Got hummus with pita as an appetizer, and it was amazing. Asked our server and she said each item is scratch made to order. Got pita kabobs as my meal, and wasn't disappointed. The portion was huge, ate what felt like a whole meal and then had another one to put in my to go box. read more

Amazing food and kind people! They gave us tea on the house and it was the best kunefeh (forgot how to spell) I've ever had!

Excellent food and service. The Turkish coffee and pastries are must try. Loved my gyro.

Amazing atmosphere and customer service! The best part is the delicious food. You have to order their Lentil Soup and Humus!!!

If you're looking for the real taste of Mediterranean food then Aruba is the place to go to, you won't find anything like it not only in Kansas City, but in the whole states! Shish tawooq, shish kebab, mansaf, the desserts omg.. the soup, just everything! I haven't been as excited before about writing a review but really Aruba Mediterranean Grill needs to be recognized and raved about more! Thank you to all the amazing people who work there, their honesty and friendliness is something else. Oh did I forget to talk about the Kunafa, the one the owner makes from scratch? Amazing!!! read more

went with my family, will definitely be back! the lamb was very good and service was quick through.

Fantastic service and very fresh food made the right way. Very clean and all the food is fantastic.

We've eaten at lots of "mediterranean" restaurants and this one is different. For one, the food is very tasty, not bland or unremarkable like so many restaurants. Two, the services is "at home"--it is like eating at the owners' home. They are both welcoming and generous, providing extras for free. We enjoyed the kifta, the tawouk was flavorful and not dry, and the baba bhanouji is incredible. The prices are reasonable and parking is easy. Seating is somewhat limited; takeaway is available as well. read more
