First visit, and this place made an excellent first impression! If you're picking up takeout, you'll be happy to know there's parking in the back, plus additional street parking on the side, which is always a nice bonus. The hospitality really stood out. While I waited for my order, the owner (I believe) surprised me with a complimentary bottle of water and a fresh, incredibly flavorful cucumber salad. It wasn't expected, but it perfectly showcased the kind of genuine service that keeps people coming back. I ordered the shish kabob and chicken, and the portions were generous, definitely enough for more than one meal. The meats were tender, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. Every bite tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Great food, generous portions, and warm, authentic hospitality. It's easy to see why this spot has loyal customers. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

Visited this spot on a Thursday evening and there was no line. They have parking in the back. Staff was friendly at the counter and provided free bottles of water. There's plenty of seating inside. I ordered the chicken shwarma bowl to go. It's a good portion for $11.99. There's a credit card fee that I didn't see a sign for, and their receipt doesn't have a line item breakdown. Taste wise though, it was filling and savory. They could've drizzled more of the sauce.

Was in the area and decided to try this Mediterranean place out since I haven't eaten it in a while. There is small parking lot behind the building so parking is not hard on weekdays. They have plenty of seating inside and also a few tables outside which is nice. I ended up ordering the Chicken Shawerma bowl ($11.99?). The employees were friendly and they even give a free bottle of water. I ordered it to-go since I brought my dog with me. When it ready, the employee was super nice and brought it outside! Great service! The bowl is one size only and had a pretty decent sized portion for the price. There is good proportion of chicken and the rice and lettuce. My only small complaint is there wasn't much sauce so it wasn't as flavorful after mixing it together. As for the taste, it is pretty good but I have tasted better chicken shawerma at another spot where it was just more flavorful. But this place is still pretty good and seems authentic. I think it would have tasted better with more sauce. I would recommend this spot if you're looking for Mediterranean food nearby. They have lots of options to choose from.

The Mediterranean Grill is located at 105 North Hill Avenue #101 Pasadena California 91101. It is a small, popular eating establishment. It is located with a number of other restaurants. The location is very visible as you drive north or south on Hill. Parking is available in a number of different areas. They have their own parking lot alongside the edge of the building. There is also street parking that is usually available along the side street. Upon entering the patio area of this building you will notice outside seating with umbrellas. The Mediterranean Grill is located in suite 101. When you enter you walk through the inside seating to the counter to place your order. I had a number of questions concerning their menu and the gentleman at the register was very helpful in giving me suggestions of different dishes I might enjoy. I ordered a number of items so that I could get an understanding of their menu. I decided to order three items. A salad and two dinners. As I sat down to wait for my order, a staff member brought over a small salad and a small bottle of water for me to enjoy while I was waiting. I found out that the salad was a shirazi salad. It was bright and refreshing. The lemon and olive oil dressing was perfect along with the chopped onions, marinated cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley. Enjoyable! I picked up my carefully packaged order and was on my way home. I was eager to try some new flavors. The aroma of the food was still present as I opened each of the three items. The Greek salad with chicken had a great flavor. There were large chunks of lightly fried chicken pieces, with fresh cucumbers, feta cheese, olives, lettuce, onions, with their special olive and lemon dressing. This salad is a full meal, very satisfying. The chicken platter with white meat included rice, a marinated cucumber salad, a tomato, and jalapeno. I had a choice of with seeds or without and I decided to spice it up and ordered with the seeds. There is definitely a lot of food . then one dinner. I found out that it tasted good the next day. Their special sauce is amazing. The beef skewer was very tender and filled with flavor. The meat had been marinated and tasted great both warm and cold the following day, as did the other items. I was so intrigued by the menu that I went again for the gyro roll and the falafel platter. Both were well worth the return visit. Highly recommend the flavorful food at Mediterranean Grill! Their service, recipes, and food are well worth the visit. I look forward to returning to experience more items on the menu.

I have been to Mediterranean Grill several times. Then the Eaton fires. And mudslides. Finally swing by for a quick lunch. I had forgotten how warm and hospitable this place is AND how tasty. The owner gave me a plate of salad "while I waited" for my salmon plate. The salmon was delicious. So was the tabouli which I asked for in lieu of rice. I offered to pay extra. Instead he gave me a cucumber/tomato salad while I waited and tabouli. A friendly place with a warm heart. Located on Hill street near Pasadena City College one might overlook it due to its spartan layout. The ambience says "student". The food and hospitality say so much more. A gem.

I got the combination platter and it was delicious! The gentleman who helped me at the counter was so kind and gave me a complimentary water and salad while I waited. Food was 10/10, I really recommend this place.

I dont usually leave reviews for places but this is my first time at this establishment and it most definitely will NOT be my last. The customer service is absolutely beyond what I expected they make you feel very welcomed and that is hard to find in a business nowadays. Amazing customer service, the cleanliness is an added plus, and the food quality is excellent. Fresh and tasty!! Please do not hesitate to pay this establishment a visit it's absolutely worth it!!

Greatttttt service and really nice owner! Best Med. Food in the 626. Sad to have found some sort of bee but I assume it's from the citruses or something?

The staff was so kind and accommodating! Ed went out of his way to make sure I was taken care. The food was EXCELLENT and the kindness was overwhelming! The restart is clean, the service is fast and they made me feel like family! This is how people and businesses make life long customers. Thank you so very much for the wonderful experience!

I ordered the #3 Chicken Koubideh, which comes with basmati rice, a fresh salad, pita bread, and garlic sauce. It's a generously sized meal, and for the price, you'll definitely have some leftovers. The chicken was so tender that it practically melted in my mouth. The seasoning was perfect, and the rice was cooked to perfection. I especially loved the salad. It was a great portion, and the vinaigrette dressing was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is small and charming, with beautiful pictures of Pasadena decorating the walls. The owner is incredibly kind and always offers water to his customers. He greets everyone with a warm smile, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I highly recommend this charming little restaurant. Be sure to stop by and support this wonderful small business! read more

Food is in large portions, a good mixture of salads, protein and rice. Overall I feel a bit too salty. Food is served relatively quickly but it is in plastic plates with plastic utensils. The shop owner/manager is very friendly, greets everyone warmly and checks out what you need. They also provide free bottled water and don't ask for tips. But they charge a small fee for non cash transactions. The shop is spacious and not crowded. There's music in store. read more

After a long day of errands and a couple hours on the road, I am starving. I pull up Google Maps and immediately upon the pictures, the food looks fantastic. But I did not know the treat I was in for. Not only was the food some of the best Mediterranean food I have ever tasted, but the service was incredible. Ed, the owner, was so kind and even handed us waters upon entry and gave us a hummus plate to try. They even still have a candy bowl in store, nobody does that anymore! Overall 10/10 experience.

Heidar Baba Persian Restaurant - 1511 East Colorado Boulevard Pasadena California 91106 is a great…read moreplace to have lunch or dinner. It is easy to find located across the street from Pasadena City college. The large awning outside the building announces the entrance to the restaurant. Once you enter you find an area with dining tables and a counter area. I was given a menu, and directed to a table to contemplate my order. The menu has a lot of great items. There were quite a number of unusual items and I had no idea what type of food or flavor to expect. When the waitress returned, I was able to ask her questions about what I should order. She had great suggestions that would give me a best example of their unique food and flavors. I decided on one Chicken Kabob and one Chicken Koobideh. Each of them came with a choice of soup or salad. I chose one of each. Barley soup with the chicken and Greek salad for the beef. It took about 20 minutes or so to get my meal to go. They had a number of occupied tables. When I got home I carefully unpacked what I had ordered. I was eager to try everything at once, but decided to start with the soup. Barley soup was filled with barley and had great flavor. I decided to add a little bit of kick by dropping in some hot sauce. The side salad was impressive. Fresh greens, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, and cucumbers. A little squeeze of lemon with all it needed. No extra dressing needed. Both the chicken and beef skewers had a great grilled aroma and were delicious. They held their shape even without actual skewers. They both tasted just as good cold the next day as they did warm when I first got them home. There was an abundance of rice included since this was a dinner order. It also had great flavor. It was fresh and had great seasoning. A bunch of condiments were included in a separate bag for all the items. I look forward to coming back and trying a number of the other items on their unique menu.

So my friend and I went this past weekend, I had been boasting to her about how good the food was,…read moreblah blah, blah for quite some time and we needed to come eat here. Come to find out the food is now actually blah blah blah! The cold super thin pita bread was cold & flavorless and oddly comes with a cold cube of butter, what the heck am I supposed to do with that? It won't melt on a cold piece of pita bread. Then the iceberg salad comes out with two small dressing containers to use; this salad had a lot of "bones" [what the hard white parts of lettuce are called]. At least the cucumbers were crunchy, as well as the 2 pieces of tomatoes. I ordered the Koobideh Combo [Beef & Chicken]; and my friend ordered the Chicken Kabob [white meat]. The lacking of flavor in the Koobideh beef & chicken was unbelievable, I asked for a grilled serrano or jalapeno chili and the waitress said they had ran out. I was 2:00 p.m., what do you mean you ran out? We were looking for something to "save" this blandness of both our dishes; thank gawd they have containers of sumac & salt at the table. The basmati rice was bland as well. The beef koobideh, tasted like plain hamburger meat with minimal seasoning. Bottom line, I didn't finish my dish, I just left most of it. My motto is: "If it's not worth the calories, don't eat it." As for the environment: No music, etc. I really don't mean to bash the place; but you guys need to spruce up the place. My seat at the table was ripped; and the table was dirty when we sat down and asked for it to be cleaned (again?). I wish you nothing but the best in this economy!

Since it was my first time here I asked the person working at the front ( you have to order up front where they then give you a number) some questions regarding the menu. They were supper attentive and friendly. After I ordered I sat outside to people watch which was honestly really nice. Reminded me of Paris. My food came promptly thus after. The Tumeric braised chicken is amaaazzzinggg the chicken is so juicy and falls off the bone. The rice has some sort of crunchiness to it that compliments the entire flavor profile of the dish. The eggplant dip reminded me of the one my grandmother makes, dipped with the chicken made my meal feel really nostalgic. I've been back four times since and never regret it. One of those meals that just makes you feel really good after!

( They only make a certain amount daily, I believe, so they mentioned if we were considering to put in the order because the lamb goes quickly- which we did. Desserts - A rosewater cake - 8 out of 10, very light and refreshing Mango sorbet - 9 out of 10, we combined the sorbet with the cake and made for a perfect bite Overall: 9 out of 10 for me. Enjoy!

The meat dishes were so flavorful and honestly the best we've had at any restaurant. They gave a lot of meat too; 8 pieces each dish. The baba ghanoush was also great.

My first impression was how friendly everyone is, both employees and customers. I also noticed the aroma of mesquite smoke, which is a principle difference between their food and many others that use gas grills. The wonderful lady at the counter welcomed me and suggested the split kabob plate with half each beef and chicken. She also gave me the lunch and dinner menus to peruse. I grabbed a table and didn't wait long before my order was ready. Lots of rice pilaf, hummus, and tabouli. Additionally, there was a portion of garlic sauce. The portion of meat was equally impressive. I was still afflicted with recent dental work so I had to eat slowly and carefully. Their food is very crushable if not for that. They also quarter the pita bread which allows easier dipping or making mini wraps. Anyhow, I'm sure I'll be back sooner than later to try the Lula (aka koubideh), lamb, and other unique house specials. The essence of wood smoke is especially good, so that's a high mark. 4.5 overall My only criticisms are the rice could have been warmer, and the sauce more garlicky.

Jesse also is quick to answer any questions we have regarding the food, especially with how to reheat certain dishes at home later.

Further, the staff is extremely accommodating with any and all allergies/food restrictions. My mom is vegan and I'm vegetarian, and that has never been an issue at all.

Every ingredient felt high quality - the matcha was rich and flavorful, the mochi had a great texture, and even the crunchy topping/cereal added a nice contrast. It's clear they put thought into balancing the different textures and flavors. The only downside was the ordering process. The line setup was a little confusing. It looked like everyone was waiting for the next available order station, but there was actually both an iPad ordering option and a register. Since this wasn't obvious, I ended up waiting longer than necessary while others who realized they could order at the register finished faster. Not a huge issue, just something that could probably be made clearer. The matcha itself is really good though. Their matcha ice cream was also impressive - very matcha-forward and not just sweet. They also have a large space with plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to hang out. They have food options as well, although I didn't try them. Some items seemed a little pricey for what they were, but I'm sure the quality is there. Overall, I'm glad I tried the Matcha Mochi Parfait.

HAKATA SET (Your choice of: Tonkotsu or Miso Ramen, comes with Mini Spicy Tuna Don, Chicken Karaage 2 pcs, Tsukemono) This was one of the set items for the lunch special. Chose the miso ramen. The miso ramen had a very strong white miso flavor. Didn't hate it, as I do love miso, but it was a little too much miso for my liking. Typical curly ramen and it was cooked well. Loved the jammy egg too. It was a soy marinated egg. There were also three pieces of chashu too! It was good, but slightly overcooked. The portion of the ramen was medium sized and was surprised they didn't bring a smaller size since it was a set meal. But happy they were generous! Spicy tuna don was a small bowl, but they gave a good portion of spicy tuna, which was delicious. Chicken karaage were two pieces of chicken and it was just okay. No tsukemono was served with the meal. Overall the meal was satisfying. I think the price was fair for what was given. CUSTOMER SERVICE Good, friendly and attentive customer service. No complaints! AMBIANCE / TABLES + SEATS Very calm and relaxing ambiance. It was quiet and no music was playing, which I liked. The restaurant was super clean and I liked how the tables were set. Large tables in the back and small tables were closer to the front. Bar seats on the side. It was a medium-sized restaurant, but the layout made it feel larger. Clean bathroom too. PARKING The closest and most logical parking spot was the one right across from the restaurant. School House Garage on 33 E Green St, Pasadena, CA 91105. Rates: $1.00 first 2 hrs, $2.00 for each additional hour. $12 for the full day.

I recently visited this Mediterranean grill and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. Not only was the food absolutely delicious (I highly recommend trying their falafel and dolma plate), but the owner was also incredibly friendly and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, I felt right at home. The owner took the time to chat with me and make sure that my meal was everything I wanted it to be. It's not often that you find such a personable and caring owner at a restaurant, but this place definitely has that special touch. Aside from the amazing food and the owner's warm hospitality, the restaurant itself is also quite cozy and charming. It's clear that the owner takes great pride in creating an inviting atmosphere for his customers. Overall, I would highly recommend this Mediterranean grill place to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a wonderful dining experience. The food is top-notch, the owner is an absolute gem, and the ambiance is just right. You won't be disappointed! read more

So, I go to M Local Grill every Sunday after church, as it is right next door. I have tried most of their sandwiches and absolutely love the Greek Chicken Sandwich! It is very tasty with the greek yogurt sauce and it is also very filling. Their platters have enough food to feed atleast two people. The chelo kebab is exceptionally delicious and I also like the Mahi-Mahi and the combination platter, which gives you the best of both worlds, chicken and beef. The service is good, as they bring the food to your table after you order. The girls that work there are very cute and make my dining experience even better. They have beautiful greek music playing and a huge mural of Greece of the wall. You actually step into another world when you come in this restaurant. I would definitely recommend M Local Grill to everyone, as I already have. They are a new business and are barely starting out, but I have hope for their future. It's the best!!!! read more

One of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants! When I go there I always order the chicken shawerma platter, and I'm never disappointed. It is always loaded with plenty of chicken, hummus, tomatoes, onions, pickled turnips, tahini sauce, and that amazing garlic sauce!! My husband and I like to share this platter, it is always filling and fresh! The customer service is very friendly as well, when my son suggested that he wanted to switch out his rice for fries for his platter, they had no problem switching that out. This is always a plus in my book when deciding what to eat when I don't feel like cooking. Also, they have a Fruit N Nut Delight!! It's the perfect sweet tooth craving satisfaction! It has Nutella, strawberries, and blueberries with sliced almonds, it is pure bliss :) Needless to say they will be seeing me more often, I just love their food! Two thumbs up!! read more

M Local Mediterranean Grill just recently opened up by my work place, and me, being the curious guy that I am, I decided to try it out. My curiousity at times tends to get my into situations where I bite off more then I can chew, but it was not the case in my experience at M-Grill, I definetly chew all that I could bite and went back for seconds. My first time their I tried the "M-Grill Gyro" simply delicious, and im not a Gyro type of guy. My buddy had their Cornish Hen, which he gabbled down. I soon returned for some more of their delicious goodness, I tried their Greek Salad with freshly grilled white Chicken meat, and that too, I enjoyed until the very last bite. I would suggest this place to anyone who enjoys mediterranean food, very good quality, healthy, and very affordable. Oh, if your a coffee nut like i am, youll be happy to know they have illy coffee. read more

We live in Irvine, CA but every time my wife and I visit my hometown Pasadena, we stop here to grab a bite. Can't emphasize the hospitality of the owners enough. Always welcomed us and treated with respect and served the most delicious food no matter what we order, because each time we go we order a different thing from their menu. Today was one of those days, and I ordered the Gyro sandwich for the first time and I got to admit it was the best sandwich I have had. Just wanted to thank Edmon and everyone who works. We will definitely be back again. read more

Get the number 12 which is the M Grilled Chicken. I love the food at this place. Arpi who is the cashier was so friendly and helpful in what to order. Please understand if you order takes a little long it is because they are making it fresh and it is not sitting under some heat lamp. If you are in a rush call in your order before you get there. The chicken is so tender and not dry like other places. I have ate here before and will definitely come back again real soon.

Get the #12 all day everyday! The garlic sauce they give is amazing with the chicken. New owners have taken over and you can tell they are working hard and taking the time to prepare quality food. I read past reviews that they take long but that is because they are preparing the food fresh and it is not sitting under some oven. I do not mind waiting for fresh quality food especially when this style of food is best served hot and off the grill. I have also had the falafel plate which I recommend as well. read more

Healthy and delicious food is what I expect from a Mediterranean-inspired restaurants like this one. And I wasn't wrong. The Greek salad I ordered was superb. The veggies are fresh and crispy I couldn't ask for anything more. Eating at a fast food is never healthy. This place is the better alternative indeed. Just stay away from the French fries. They look temptingly good for your strict diet! read more

Today was my first time at M Local and I loved the fresh and flavorful food. I've tried other Mediterranean restaurants in Pasadena, but this one is hands down the best. I appreciate that the food is cooked to order and not just precooked and in a warmer. I can taste the freshness and the environment is a relaxing place for my short wait. I'll be back soon! read more

Ive been here several times. The food is always fresh and way affordable and I always have something to take home for a snack later on (that's how big their portions are.) The cashier (the one that's always smiling with the great attitude and big beautiful eyes) was a delight and always answers my menu questions. The food is delicious and super fresh! read more

This place is the best, everything I have had here is delicious, everything. Their garlic fries are to die for and their cucumber, tomato salad is light and refreshing. I also love their kabobs which are cooked perfectly. The hummus is delightful as well. The best thing is you can get so much food for very little $. read more

Always a stop when I go see my Grandparents. I have been going to this spot for years and it never disappoints. It is small and family owned and never empty. The vegetarian platter is my jam but the schwarma is so good too. read more
