Found this spot while on the road to Los Angeles from Las Vegas. Didn't wanna have some gross drive thru ,so gave this place a shot and hoped for the best! We got lucky! -service was quick and pleasant -food was ready quickly (they brought us some humus and pita while our kebab plate was being prepared) took only 5 more minutes. - everything was tasty.. hummus was very garlicky which I like! Chicken and rice was delicious and loved that it was served with onion slivers! :P Salad was fresh and chopped finally, which I really appreciate, -cost is fair! -I tried their chocolate baklava recommended by a staff member!! Highly satisfied! Just wish I bought more to go! -restroom was clean -location is a bit hidden! In a shopping center but kinda tucked in the back! plenty of available parking Over all it was a good experience. Would definitely make this my stop for next time! read more

We were welcomed as we entered. The air conditioned dining area was a nice reprieve from the scorching heat outside. The restaurant was pretty quiet. A few customers sat eating or waiting for food. It's a small establishment within a shopping center. It's a storefront. They have booths, high tables and regular tables. It's a good place for a family gathering or a small party. I ordered the Falafel wrap and upgraded it to a combo which includes a drink and an order of fries. The fries were golden crinkle fries (and I ordered a side of tzatziki sauce for my fries). The Falafel balls were a little more well done than how I usually prefer my falafel but they were seasoned well. The service was good and Sarah was friendly. I like her green hair. Nice place in the High Desert. read more

Mediterranean Island - Permanently closed location! With the travel to Apple Valley of Hesperia. - Mediterranean Near Me - Victorville, California

Wow! What a waste of money! Let me start by saying the gal working the counter was very sweet! And...We only stopped here because we're on a long road trip and wanted something healthy to eat... Mediterranean food is usually that... So we got it to go to eat on the road... We should've turned back! (But No Time) A $50 toilet flush!! Paid $14 for beef kabob ala carte... they were chunks of meat in a box on a pita and each piece of meat was chewy- grumbly! Grossly Overcooked. I think there were 8 pieces and only 3-4 of them were edible. My husband was pretty mad! My chicken kabob bowl came FILLED with rice, a splash of sauce (needed way more) and some onions along with 5 chunks of chicken ALSO GROSSLY OVERCOOKED! They were flavorful but ruined! Super dry & chewy! Some of the pieces were grumbly and one was totally inedible! $8 not worth it! We each ordered 2 pieces of baklava which cost $14!! They were yummy! We waited quite a while for our food... there were only 2 tables of customers who were eating and a couple more trailing behind us. We could see Counter Girl finally packing up our order and then, I was so shocked that she stopped to help a woman who walked up to buy some pastries!?? Really? We've been waiting for a while already and rather than finishing up our package, she stops and helps this other customer. Counter Girl! Come on? You say "I'll be right with you" ??? and finish up with us! Had we known our food was going to take almost 30 minutes we would've gone elsewhere. The 2 stars or for the baklava! I absolutely do not recommend coming here! read more

Sadly, I have to say that the food here was subpar for my liking. I felt like their hummus was missing seasoning. Their salad was a little bland and they don't have just beef kebab. They have to mix it with lamb. I wasn't quite impressed by the food as I had hoped for with the rating that it had received from Yelp, I probably wouldn't pick this place top choice for kebabs. Their chicken was also a little dry and missing a lot of seasoning. Maybe I just have a critical eye because I also cook Armenian food at home and I know the seasoning that is missing again. I thought the service was decent. The ambience was so so, it's right next to a tattoo and vape shop lol. I was hoping it would be like off the hook bomb but hit the mark on my part. read more

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! read more

Mediterranean Island - Pre-Boxed Mixed Baklava Pastries - Mediterranean Near Me - Victorville, California

Looking for a different place to have dinner in the HD, this is the spot! My wife and I thought we would give it a shot. The inside of the restaurant is sparse but has that Mediterranean feel you would hope for and music to match. We were seated immediately and offered drinks, this is always a plus in my book. I got the lule kabob (ground beef), the wife got the steak kebob. We both agreed the spice on the meat was excellent, all was served on a bed of rice with purple sumac (I think) seasoning. So good, I ate far more than I needed to. Dinner plates were served with a salad and fresh pita bread and I believe a house made humus that tasted so good, that my wife who usually refers to it as school paste, kept eating it till we left. Great service, tasty food, and a nice place to eat in! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Everything here is incredible and fresh. We had the beef lule plate and gyro wrap. The flavor was complex, meat was tender and juicy, and all the spices and herbs complimented everything! Garlic sauce and tzatziki were creamy. Rice looked simple but light, fluffy, and perfectly salted with that purple seasoning. Thick crispy fries. Service was outstanding and just more than you can ask for. Sorry no pictures because we are like cavemen! read more

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! read more

Wonderful fresh food. Healthy, just feels good to eat well vs burgers. This is something I would make at home. When I have the time. Minus the hummus, we ordered chicken and beef kabobs, it comes with a salad, grilled tomato and jalapeño, and you have a choice of rice or fries. They give you delicious hummus and the bread ( sorry can't remember the type ) it's for the hummus. Anyhow, it's next to cycle gear, across from Kaiser, in that quiet strip. It's a hidden gem, so everyone get in there and enjoy something off their menu, you won't be sorry! They do have burgers and fries too. I feel healthier already LOL! read more

Best Mediterranean food I have ever eaten. I do not like Hummus, but I fell in love with their Hummus. Their garlic is real garlic tasting and their Lulas were seasoned so well that I did not use ketchup like I usually do. I wish they were in Pasadena read more

Authentic, delicious and great service. I would definitely hit up again for lunch. Their lamb is also flavored well and the desserts are to die for. Great place to enjoy true Mediterranean food. Yummmy to my tummy! read more

We just stopped by on our way back to LA from Vegas. Bathrooms and the dining area were clean. Our order consisted of the yogurt drink, iced tea, two pita wraps (garlic chicken and chicken kebab), and some desserts. Everything in our meal was fresh. I loved the yogurt drink and would recommend it IF you like the more savory/sour types of yogurt drinks (it had some lemon juice, salt, and mint in it I think). For me it was a good choice for a refreshing drink on a hot day, but it's an acquired taste. The iced tea was fine. Both pita sandwiches were great! The chicken was tender, seasoning was good, the sauce on the sandwich was flavorful, and the lettuce/tomato/herbs in it were fresh. Pita bread was soft. It came with pickled beets on the side. We ate a pistachio bourma and rosewater kataif that were good. Not too sticky or sweet. We'll have more baklava when we get home. I personally felt the portions were good since I don't like feeling too stuffed after eating. I was glad a smaller but satisfying menu option was available. My partner was still a little hungry, so if you like larger portions, get a side or order the plate/combo options. As for the time it took to get food, we had to wait a bit, but we could at least see people working in the kitchen. Not a problem since we weren't in a huge rush and we were happy to have the fresh meal. We also got there when it was busy (5 parties showed up). Everyone was nice and checked on us to see if we liked the food, including the owner/main chef. read more

Expensive but the food was good and portions are small for the price. I miss the former owners.

A 5-star review for this family-owned and operated restaurant. If you haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out (in my wholehearted opinion). As soon as my wife and I walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome. The inside of the restaurant had a "warm-beach" vibe. They were playing Greek music playing inside, which added to the authentic experience. The food was out of this world! My wife ordered the Chicken Kebab combo and I ordered the Fillet Kebab and Beef Lule Kebab combo. Both combos included hummus, rice, chargrilled tomato & Jalapeño, salad, and pita bread. Our server started us with the salad. Nothing too fancy, but it had a savory dressing. The chicken and meat were so tender and flavorful. The hummus was on point and the chargrilled tomatoes added a little sweetness to the menu. Each bite was better than the last and the Jalapeños added a little spiciness, which increased both our appetites. We ended our meal with a wide variety of desserts, which my wife and I both enjoyed. We will be going back soon. Thank you for the wonderful meal and experience!!! read more

I was looking for Mediterranean food in the high desert. There aren't a lot of options and they came across this gem. It's on the corner of the shopping center near the Kaiser in Victorville. The food was delicious, came out quickly. The ingredients were fresh. Our appetizer was the falafel. We ordered the chicken kebab and beef kebab plates. The hummus and pita was delicious. We also got a pound of baklava to go which is a must try! The owners were very helpful and let us build our own box. They also have pre-mixed boxes if you just want to try an assortment. The owners are very kind and it's a family run business so everyone is friendly and helpful. We will be coming back!! read more

Overpriced, bland, chewy/hard meat, extremely small portion of protein. It was a big mistake and NEVER again!

Really delicious family owned & ran restaurant. We stopped by on our road trip from Vegas to Ventura to get food to go. My husband had a beef lule pita which he said was really good. I had the chicken & steak kebab combo, the meat was moist & had great flavor, the hummus was a little chunkier than normal, but again the flavor was fantastic. I loved the rice & onions too. I also got a bunch of different baklava which is also made in house & so tasty!! read more
