    Permanently closed location! With the travel to Apple Valley of Hesperia.

    Reported to be permanently closed location! With the drive to Apple Valley or Hesperia. The beef rule, coffee, and baklava are always perfect.

    Pre-Boxed Mixed Baklava Pastries

    Ok, I was in the area and decided to try this place out cause I've heard people raving online and through the grapevine. Let me tell you, when I say absolutely 100% delicious I absolutely 100% mean it. The rice, omg the rice. Delightful. The owner gave me some garlic paste that he makes himself and it has a KICK but oh so delicious. The beef kabob, tender and so much flavor. The chicken, oh man the chicken . So juicy and tender and tasty. The salad was refreshing on this hot summer day. And don't even get me started on the baklava! The owner talked me into the mixed variety box and I do not regret it. Absolutely fantastic place with fantastic personal service and a friendly eating atmosphere. Will be back! Thanks so much for the amazing dinner!

    You could taste the bitterness from the burnt coating.

    This review is being written by a person who's been heavily exposed to Middle Eastern food. I ordered the chicken lule wrap, gyro, a side of falafel and four pieces of baklava. Each sandwich was unwrapped immediately upon entering the car. Neither sandwich was warm, with the chicken lule bordering cold. I'd just spent over $20 on two sandwiches (portions are measly, as well) that were barely edible. It's unfortunate, as the flavours were absolutely there, had it not been for that. Only the falafel was freshly made and yet, some of them were burnt (refer to photo). I've yet to try the baklava but frankly, I'm put off after that colossal disappointment. TIL: small portions (compared to other 'Mediterranian' spots') and cold meat. I won't be back.

    The place was nice and updated the staff was very nice and helpful that was a plus for me . The food was delicious especially the grape and rice wrap that was my favorite. The beef kabob was delicious with the bread and hummus with the garlic sauce. I would go again if I want Mediterranean food

    Lamb/beef Gyro, Hummus, House Salad, & Chicken Kabab Plate
    Coral T.

    Food is FRESH & DELICIOUS! If you're traveling through the 1-15 to/from Las Vegas, I highly recommend stopping here instead of the mad Greek Cafe that's usually advertised along the road Our waiter was quick and personable, and was attentive to our table. The food tasted so good! I ordered the lamb gyro, and the meat was tender and the pita soft. My partner ordered the halal chicken kabob plate, and the chicken was tender and had so much flavor! Prices for food are reasonable! Don't miss out on the garlic sauce too! It gives an extra kick that makes you want more! And did you know there's more than one type of baklava?! Excited to come back!

    Just some awesome regular customers awaiting our delicious food while receiving good customer service.

    This place is a vibe everyone we're here. Nice staff, Delicious food and chill ambience.

    Halal - Chicken kabab (Plate combo #1)  hummus and salad not pictured. I ate it quickly lol
    Antoinette G.

    My food was absolutely delicious. I would like to see a gyro combo plate added so I don't have pay as much extra to have salad and rice added. But, the food quality and customer service was great!

    A new Mediterranean place that we had to try as there are few and far of them in the high desert. It did not disappoint. Ordered the chicken plate and it was just the right amount for me. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. We will be back.

    Baklava
    Suzanne O.

    Amazing Mediterranean food! We were driving by and wanted a good meal and this place delivered. Bf had the gyro which was so flavorful and packed with meat. I had the chicken kabob and beef kefta, so delicious. The baklava is also so fresh. I already regret not getting more lol

    Jasmine C.

    The restaurant is very clean Family ran the teenagers are very nice and attentive when taking your order and checking on you while eating I had combo platter it was very well seasoned the meat was moist the rice was perfect I love the sides The only negative thing I would say is there pita bread did not seem fresh it was hard... I will definitely be returning

    Ground Beef and Lamb Lule Kebab is delicious. Plate # 4
    Ronald C.

    Beef/Lamb Lule Kebab (plate #4) is delicious. You get 2 skewers of mixed ground beef and lamb meat with all the accompaniments. He will be opening a new location by Bear Valley Rd/ Cottonwood

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.

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!

The meats are always tender and juicy, and everything is seasoned really well without being too heavy. The portions are generous and the sides are just as good. Their garlic sauce is honestly one of my favorite parts, it's sooo flavorful, and the hummus is smooth and well balanced. I also love their pear soda, it's very refreshing. One thing that stood out during our last visit was the service. My husband mentioned how much I loved their garlic sauce and the front worker added an extra one for us, which was really thoughtful. Each plate already comes with one, so that small gesture really stood out. Overall this is one of our go to spots when we're craving kabobs. If you're in the area and want something authentic and consistently good, this place is definitely worth trying.

On top of that, their serving dishes are massive and the service staff is unaware how to put the dishes on the table because the table is so small. There were only 2 people waiting tables which caused for a lot of frustration from the staff. They also rarely stopped by our table to clear out plates which again we needed some plates gone because tables were so small. Recommendation, more people need to work at the front and y'all need bigger tables. A $330 meal (which included $50 service charge) where the service was rough was not worth.
