If I could give 6 stars I would. The food was amazing and my grandmother makes a lot of these same dishes so that says something's. Everything tasted homemade. The owner or manager is very kind throws in a lot of food so that you can try new things. He gave us a free plate of salad and the best hummus I've bought outside of home. The service was awesome servers came constantly to check on us. Very nice family owned establishment the environment was very clean and relaxing I appreciate the time they take to keep everything clean. read more

Always a delight. The owner is so personable and kind to customers. I've seen him treat many people so nicely. Often offers a drink or some salad if it's a long wait. Well. Not often. Always. In my experience. The food is absolutely delicious. The team is friendly and kind and take care of customers as well. Thank you for amazing customer service. I see comments below that this is how many people have experienced this restaurant. read more

Beyond excelent food quality, especially for the price. Grate value!! Can't beat it. Check out their lunch specials.

This is a small business. Not sure if he is the owner, but could pass as the owner. He does small things that go a long way. I walked i. As I was reading the menu, he handed me an ice cold bottled water. I placed my order #11 with a side of hummus. He told me to have a seat and he would bring it over. He brought me a cucumber salad and told me to enjoy while I wait. Wow! Very nice and welcoming! Give it a try. Food was delicious and also a lot of food read more

I love the food from this place... I'm middle eastern myself and have tried all kind of Mediterranean food from places and know quality.

Love the food here and customer service was impeccable. Fresh food and amazing staff.

Great food and service. I especially like the Lula The family meal for 4 for $55 was yummy

I've been here several times. The quality isn't 100% consistent and that's a good thing, it's generally gotten better as time goes on, specifically in reference to the spices on the chicken shawarma. I love that they include pickles, pepperoncinis and pickled radishes (or are they beets? I'm ignorant) with their sandwiches. The other place with "Mediterranean" in the name does not include such things! M-Grill gives you a lot of each. The staff is very nice. I don't know if it's cause I tip for pick up orders or our loyalty, but they're nice to us. M-Grill will deliver for free within a 2 mile radius which is badass and works for me. They also have a really nice rewards deal, 5% cashback. And their prices aren't even outrageous, so it's a great deal. read more

Best Mediterranean food ive ever come across. My co workers introduced me to this spot 10yrs ago. Had it recently and wow the flavor is still there. read more

Social distancing is enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask. All customers are expected to wear a mask too. They also wear gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This restaurant is available for take outs and has no outdoor seating available. They are also sanitizing in between customers. While I was grabbing my food from this restaurant last week, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their restaurant. The parking situation here is so easy. There is plenty of street and two story garage parking. Don't even sweat it about parking. The food here is so reasonably priced and delicious. Don't come during peak hours. Come right when they open and an hour before they close so you don't have to wait for your food. I had to wait about 20 minutes for my food after I called for my takeout. It's okay. Totally worth the wait. The food was so yummy and heavenly. I'm coming back next week for more! read more

My family and I have enjoyed the delicious food and warm service for the better part of a decade. Ed always makes us feel very welcome, whether we are a small party or dining with extra family and friends. A meal from Mediterranean Grill was actually my requested meal during a Covid birthday! Cheers to Mediterranean Grill! read more

We came 20 mins till closed for take out. We were presented with water and a cucumber salad while we wait. It was an awesome gesture and very thoughtful. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Food had a great taste and the music they played while we waited was great! Must come here! read more

First time here, nice and clean place, great costumer service, amazing food and good pricing, can't complain will definitely be back. read more

Dropped by Friday evening with my boyfriend and we were well taken care of by the owner and staff of the restaurant. We ordered the chicken kabob platter and chicken shawarma bowl and received a complimentary Shirazi salad with our order. The chicken kabob was very tender and well seasoned. The dip the platter came with had a nice little kick to it as well. The chicken shawerma bowl was a great portion for the price, coming with rice and a nice bed of salad. I managed to finish the bowl that was too big for my appetite, but I don't feel sluggish or heavy upon overstuffing myself. Couldn't tell which was better, the service or the food. Highly recommend Mediterranean Grill to anyone who is looking to satisfy their Mediterranean fix! read more

Outstanding food and customer service. We will definitely be back here again! Such a nice vibe here.

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Their cucumber tomato salad was amazing it comes with ranch and they also bring hummus and a garlic sauce. I had the Gyroo plate with rice and a salad which I couldn't finish it was so big!!! My wife had the chicken shawarma with baba ganoush and also a salad and for dessert we had baklava it was amazing and the service was fantastic... they took us in after closing and after driving from SM and feed us a feast. Mucho gracias! read more

For the past three weeks, I have eaten at this restaurant countless times. I've tried the Boneless Chicken White Meat Platter as well as the Grilled Salmon Platter, and I have to say that my absolute favorite has to be the Grilled Salmon Platter. The salmon was so moist, and it was cooked just right. Let's talk about the delicious garlic sauce that comes with it. I enjoyed it so much that I bought a large side just to keep in my refrigerator. The hummus is also delicious, and the hummus spread is to die for! It's so tasty. The customer service is absolutely the best! The owner is always on-site, making sure to provide top-of-the-line customer service. The owner's hospitality makes me feel appreciated as a customer and makes me want to come back just for that reason itself! In short, my whole family eats here now, and even my job ordered it for a recent lunch. I will definitely keep coming back! read more

Mediterranean Grill - Grilled Salmon Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Pasadena, California

So happy Yelpers brought my attention to Mediterranean Grill! Our group of 4 came recently for an early dinner and it was so good! Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomach and we ordered way too much food. We had 4 grilled plates (Beef, chicken, lule) and one shawarma bowl. On top of that we shared some pita and baba ganoush. Everything was OH-EM-GEE delicious. Even though it was casual dining, the owner came to our table to check in on us a few times. He also let us try for dessert some delicious baklava! You can't beat great customer service ! Will definitely be coming back with friends here! Please note that they are closed early at 6pm on Sundays, we were there til 6:15pm and the owner did not kick us out. Free fountain drink with Yelp check-in. read more

I eat at this restaurant at least once a week. The quality is absolutely incredible! The place is run by a super nice local business owner who loves the community (and his regulars). We usually order the combination (chicken and ground beef plate) or the salmon plate. If you are a fan of fish I highly recommend the salmon plate, you will not be disappointed. I've waited til I've ordered AT LEAST 12-15 times from this location to leave a review. Every. Single. Time. The food has been absolutely incredible. If this review isn't the most well deserved then idk what is. read more

My go-to kebab restaurant in Pasadena! Every single item I've tried here is DELICIOUS and the portions are BIG! My personal favorite is the lule and chicken plate with hummus and an upgraded side of taboule. Even the bed of rice it comes with is amazing and the workers are always super cool. The owner is generous and sometimes offers me a complimentary bottle of water and everything is freshly made . Oh, and make sure u ask for the side of garlic butter and hot sauce!!!!! SO GOOD! read more

My husband and I came here yesterday right before closing. It was about 8pm. It was our first time here and what an experience. The Chicken pieces in the chicken kabob plate were bigger than I expected and the marinade was good. I personally enjoyed the salad and it's dressing. My husband enjoyed their long grain rice. He says "you can tell a lot about a place by how their rice is." They have the best hummus in town. It's my favorite place to get hummus now. Overall, They made our order quick and we did not have to wait too long. Everything was fresh and tasty. The service was great. The employees were friendly. We will definitely be back soon. Although the drive is a little farther than I would like, it's totally worth the gas. They get an A++++ from me. read more

Awesome Mediterranean quick service place with friend fast service and great food! I've driven by this place many times on my way to Z-chicken and when I've gone to melt and the dog haus (right next to them) - I only wished I had tried it earlier! Great selection of medz plates, sandwiches and salads. The kebabs were great! The beef lula and the chicken kabob were perfectly marinated and seasoned. I've gotta come back for the chicken now. The hummus was some of the best in the area. Their servings are plentiful and worth the higher price (think higher quality food). Both the salad which had plenty of tomatoes and onions in it was great and their rice was cooked perfectly. Plus the grilled tomato and pepperocinis are a nice touch! Great garlic whip sauce as well. Plenty of seating inside as well. You can also park in the church parking lot next door except for Sunday's. This place is fast, clean, convenient, friendly and great food! Good stuff! read more

Generosity can be little more compared to the price, it's pricey but the food is tasty.

The food is Mediterranean but the influence is definitely Persian, and it is delicious. Pricing is very fair. The owner is always happy and brings everyone a little appetizer to help with the wait. You can get creative with the menu by adding extra skewers of meat - order 1 plate and add a skewer to feed 2 people. read more

Amazing food and service! The shawarma was so moist and flavorful. This is my new favorite spot.

Delicious food and great service. We even got complimentary cucumber salad while we were waiting for our order! read more

Mediterranean Grill - Chicken Koubideh Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Pasadena, California

I was craving for Mediterranean food and searched in yelp. On a Saturday in August so I was determined to come here for lunch. I was only customer at 11am and loud Persian music playing. I ordered the chicken sharmwa wrap and checked on yelp and got free soda. The owner was nice and took my order and waited like 15-20 for my wrap was done. I couldn't taste the chicken because of delicious garlic sauce was over powering the chicken. The wrap was still delicious and had after taste of garlic sauce in my mouth. Next time I will try their plates. Best to park on union on street. read more

This place is amazing! More and more I am surprised when someone brings customer service back! I just flew in from Oregon and my sister recommended this place. The owner greeted me, gave me a sample of their delicious cucumber tomato salad on the house. Everyone was friendly and I noticed they checked on each diner to make sure they were happy with their meal. I love Mediterranean food and this place took it over the top. Food was absolutely delicious. I'll be back every time I'm in town. read more

My new favorite Persian/Iranian kabob place. Ordered a family meal and some garlic sauce and everything was deliciously tender and flavorful. My Dad is hard to please but he LOVED it. Excellent, light and fluffy rice and tasty hummus. Sister also approved! read more

Where do I even begin, I was personally greeting by the owner of the Restaurant upon entry. The food was amazing, hands down best Mediterranean food I have ate. I had the dark meat chicken and my girlfriend had the beef plate. Both were the best plates we have had. Prices were below average, the flavor here is incredible! What a great spot. read more
