    Place is very clean - must overlook the parking by lot as you walk in - inside is inviting and entertaining at the same time. Cashier was super friendly - Process are just right for the portions - very good menu with plenty of Mediterranean options. I tried their falafel wrap and it was delicious ... a definite go to place when in town

    Falafel, hummus, salad, and tatziki.

    4 of us arrived for lunch. There were a couple of other groups there. We ordered chicken, lamb and falafel wraps. While we waited an hour for our lunch, one group left. One of the group waited and took the food to go for the rest of the group. No one offered anything as an apology for the ridiculous wait. After an interminable wait, the waitress indicated where we could get our own cutlery. We ordered hot tea, were informed it was not available. Overall, the food was tasty. This is the 3rd location of this casual dining restaurant where I have eaten. This is the worst. Edit: After almost 2 hours waiting, then eating; food was good. One server came out with baklava as a consolation. That was the bare minimum least that they could do. Update: Two plates, two wraps $93!!!! What a rip-offf!!! Not recommended. We had just left the cemetery arranging the funeral for a family member. This just added insult to injury. Not going back!!!! Stay away.

    Chicken Kebab Plate

    We stopped here for some kebabs and there was no customers. We almost left but the lady at the register said they just opened. So we ordered the beef and chicken kebabs. They are served to go but you can sit down at tables to eat. It's a casual restaurant. The hummus was homemade and was delicious. Food was fresh but the steak was a bit chewy. Staff was nice and helpful. Desserts are homemade and tasty. There was a line when we left.

    Delicious Greek Salad. $15

    Falafel Plate is excellent. You get 6 crisp, dense pieces, salad, hummus. tahini and soft pita so you can make a "burrito" out of it.

    Came here recently since I was craving mediterranean food and I had a good experience. I tried the Chicken Kebab & Beef Lule Combo plate, the Halal drink, garlic paste, and Tahini paste. The chicken kebab was dried/overcooked and the reason for my 4 star review, but other than that things were good. Ambiance was great. Great customer service and very friendly. To me it was very funny when the guy (I think the owner) called the garlic paste "drugs", but overall very informative and great customer service. P.s.: if you ask about the Halal drink and they warn you about it, there's a reason. Not everybody loves it, just certain people. It's a salty yogurt peppermint drink.

    Sorry usually take pic before but couldn't wait lol

    Best Mediterranean food in the high desert! From atmosphere to great family like hospitality you will love this spot we ordered one chicken and one steak plate which included rice the veggies peta bread and hummus which was all amazing owner even gave us there garlic sauce which was the best as well as tahini sauce. They also have baklava in a variety of flavors.

    Chicken Lule Kebab Skewer  Look at this chicken Lule!!! (On the right)  You're going to tell me that's cooked fresh instead of frozen???

    Not impressed. Moved up here a year ago from down the hill, grew up eating Mediterranean food since I was a kid because it was my mom's favorite. Our favorite chain/restaurant was Zaky. We would go there at least once a month to order their family meal which would feed us for at least half a week. This place was subpar. My favorite things in this cuisine is Tzatziki sauce, Toum (emulsified garlic), Kafta meat, and Chicken Lule. All of these were incredibly underwhelming for me. And I ordered their family meal so I got everything (except Kafta bc it wasn't offered) The Tzatziki was way too watery and no flavor. As if they didn't add salt to the cucumber to dehydrate it before adding it to the yogurt. The Toum was way too oily and too garlicky. Now look, I LOVE garlic. But it was just too overpowering where all I could taste was garlic. Even now as I write this I still taste garlic!!! The Toum also didn't have any citrus notes to it, maybe they forget to add lemon? Either way, the texture was like a jello instead of a paste. Not very appetizing when I mixed it with my rice since it stayed clumpy rather than evenly mixed The chicken Lule! Omg, it tasted like it was frozen right before cooking! Meat was very tough and looked like it had barely been cooked! I HOPE the workers didn't pull it out of the freezer to cook for my order right then and there! It had that "frozen food" flavor where the flavors of the food are dulled out... Oh and the Baklava... I'm not a big fan of it but my family is. They told me it was not very sweet and the texture was not soft. I tried it and let me tell you... it tasted like a prepackaged Baklava that I could find at any middle eastern grocery mart Kind of like a puff pastry that's been sitting on the shelf too long. Was not very enjoyable. The only redeeming part of this place that gave it a 2 star instead of 1 was their beef kabob. It was decent but I've had better. Now listen, I was excited to give this place a try since we might've found a more convenient Mediterranean spot... But I'm just going to wait for anytime I'm down the hill and in the mood for Zaky. Not coming back to this place unfortunately. P.S. The ambiance was like a Hawaiian hangout spot? Why decorate your shop as a surfer would when your customers are willing to try "exotic" food in the first place? They should feel like they're walking into another culture entirely! Not be confused as to why Josh from Huntington Beach could be there eating food from across the world!

    Freshly made!

    Best service in the HD!!! New spot for me and the fam. Food is 10/10, the owner is the best at making you feel at home. Very welcoming and couldn't be happier with my experience. Definitely recommend to everyone! I'm not affiliated or know anyone here so my review is legit and can definitely say well worth it 1000000% Usually we'd have to go down the hill for half of the experience we got here, top notch and clean!! Staff was super friendly and very attentive thank you so much for your hospitality

    Gyro pita and falafels
    Sheila M.

    First time visiting here and had the gyro and falafels. None of us particularly liked the falafels maybe they were over cooked not sure. Definitely had better but we did really like the gyro and the owner was nice and explained the menu to us.

    The dessert tray I took home and devoured, so good!!
    Loretta S.

    This was my first time here and I will definitely be back. The place was clean and cute and the food was delicious! I had the falafel plate with a side of tabouli. I had the yogurt drink with it. I also ordered the dessert sampler lol because I couldn't decide. Only thing I would have done differently is ordered extra garlic sauce because it was so good. The drink was good I thought it would be more minty but it was good Greek tasting yogurt. Pita bread was delicious with the hummus and the jalapeño was tasty and not scorching hot.

    Yummy steak and chicken plate.

Lunch is take out only so plan ahead. I chose their Mixed Grill Plate so I can sample several of their items. The plate consisted of beef and chicken kabob plus a beef kofta, salad, rice, pita, and a choice of hummus or baba ganoush. The baba ganoush was the best I have ever tasted. So smoky and flavorful! I could just have that with pita and would be very satisfied. The meats were savory and flavorful. Rice is a seasoned long grain rice which is not basmati but tastes good with the meats. Unfortunately, Foul from their appetizer menu was not available. This fava bean dish is one of my favorites and I wanted to try theirs. Maybe next visit. Staff is friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking in their dedicated lot. Highly recommend.

The food was 4 out of 5 because I had some great Mediterranean food in Los Angeles and Riverside area. For being in the middle of no where this place was pretty damn good. I got their chicken kabob plate which it came with rice, veggies, salad, hummus and pita bread. It was really good and fresh. I paid under $20 after tax. The price was reasonable as well. The restaurant was super clean and the atmosphere was really nice. There was only one server there but his service was absolutely amazing. He was always there to check up on you and friendly. I would definitely give this spot a try if you're in the area.

If you're looking for the definitive Lebanese experience in the IE, this is the order to beat. The Breakdown: * The Trio Grill: You get a sampling of everything--chicken, beef, and kefta kebabs. The chicken kebab was the standout for me; it was incredibly tender and had that perfect open-flame char that you just can't replicate at home. * Baba Ghanoush: This was a smoky revelation. You can taste the fire-roasted eggplant in every bite, and the texture was perfectly whipped and creamy without losing its soul. It's easily some of the best in the area. * Tabouleh: So many places use too much bulgur, but Mezzaterranean does it right. It was a bright, herbaceous explosion of fresh parsley and lemon that cut through the richness of the grilled meats perfectly. * The Extras: It all comes together with their fluffy rice and warm pita. Pro tip: use the pita to make little "mini-tacos" with a piece of chicken, a dollop of baba ghannouj, and a pinch of tabouleh. The Verdict: The portions on the Trio Plate are massive (definitely enough to share, though you might not want to). Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and authentic. It's clear this family-run spot puts a lot of heart into their recipes. 10/10, will be back for more of that garlic sauce!
