YUM. I've been eating here for years. It is absolutely fantastic! I usually get the combo broil or the steak/beef kebab with rice and greek salad w/caesar dressing. The dressing is homemade, creamy, garlicky, and delicious. The steak is tender and charbroiled to perfection. The (wild?) rice is my favorite rice in the entire world - if I could duplicate it I would! After writing the review, I just decided where I'm going for lunch today! :) YUM YUM YUMMMMMMMM. read more

Love the owner here, he was very generous. Turns out this is a predominantly Persian restaurant with other Mediterranean cuisine and potpourri fare mixed in. My friends got gyros and I got the chicken and beef kabob plate and the owner brought out yogurt and cream puffs for us as an added surprise. It was yummy. He's one of those owners that appreciates his customers and for that we give five stars! read more

Not there as listed but plenty of other options in the antique mall like building. Would be nice if bis kept updated atosure

Food was ok more like a mall food court. Not great ambiance. From the picture online it looked more like a restaurant. It is not, order at the counter and seat yourself. The price was a little high for what you get. I probably won't go back but not because it was bad I was just expecting more of a restaurant feel. read more

Amazing place to grab true Mediterranean food. I ordered a gyro and salad and want to go back every day now read more

It is the second time I eat here and it is the second time I fall for their food. They are inside tacoma freight house, right in the food court area. Parking is available outside (2hr parking) or accross the street in the garage (free). The staff is friendly and welcoming. The prices are reasonable and the food portions are big. I had the number 9, which is grilled chicken in pita bread like; comes with a salad and their brown rice. The chicken was so delicious, I couldnt get enough of it. The salad well was a typical restaurant salad, nothing major but it was not bad. The rice was not the ussual wild rice type, but it was delicious too. My friend had the lamb wrap, totally worth it. Overall, this is not a high end place but its pretty good Greek food. read more

Mediterranean Palace - #9 on the menu - Mediterranean Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Great food, served on real plates and glassware at very resonable prices! Don't let the outside fool you, this place is legit. Though I live in Los Angeles, this place is as close as it gets to what you get at some of the fine places here in LA. I got the Gyro plate, I believe it was $8.29. Everything (rice, salad, veggies) was fresh. The Tzatziki was was excellent, one of the better ones. Oh, I have to mention if you get water here....it's in a glass cup and the water from here, tasted better than some of the other eats in the same plaza. Parking is out front, if you can find one. Stroll down the plaza for some retail goodies. There isn't much but at least it's covered and you can walk off your food. read more

Mediterranean Palace - Gyro plate $8.29 - Mediterranean Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

First time here. I asked for chicken and beef kabobs no shrimp. They gave me shrimp. So at the other two. While enjoying myself I found a black hair in my rice. Called to tell them, they offered a discount next time I come. Not even a refund. Obviously I'm going to throw away the rest of my food since I found a HAIR. My hair is long and blonde so I know it's not mine. Save yourself a trip and DO NOT go here. read more

Ripoff. They have a website with pictures of their exact business. I put in my order and they charged me $60 which I verified online with my bank that it was charged. When I got there they said they don't have a website anymore and it's my issue not theirs. I'm all for supporting small businesses but kit when they charge me and tell me that it's an old website. They should either shit down the website or honor the order. I'll cancel my payment with my bank. Mostly just annoyed at this point. read more

Tacoma's Mediterranean Palace near the Tacoma Dome is still good. It has changed, though. In the intervening time, they have made some changes to the menu. The food was still good, but each of the items weren't as tasty and delicious as I remembered them to be. The prices were a little higher and the service was a little more hurried, considering not everyone inside Freighthouse Square that day was eating at this one stand. I am chalking this up to the likelihood that there was an event going on at the Tacoma Dome, since it was unusually crowded, because it even took some looking around to find a table that was clean enough. That said, I walked out of there thinking that a 5 dipped down to a 3. I'm going to go with the hunch that this experience was an outlier and that they are fully capable of, on average, delivering a 4 star experience. Many local area folks return and return, so that says something. read more

I went here with a friend after seeing the reviews on Yelp for this place. I didn't know Mediterranean Palace was within a food court. I'm glad we went though because my lamb gyro was DELICIOUS! They even bring the food to you. I love Greek food and the gyros were spot on. I think if I happened to pass by this place, I wouldn't have tried it out because it's in a food court, but I'm SO glad I did. I'm so glad I was interested in this place due to the Yelp reviews which is why I want to write one too! I was intrigued by food court because it had a myriad of cuisines. From what I remember, I saw Indian, Mexican, American, and I believe Vietnamese places. If I was ever waiting for the train, I would definitely eat here again! I think if I ever feel like getting their gyros again I would get take-out to bring home. I would love to try the other items on their menu as well! read more

Great food, affordable and located inside the Freighthouse Square. There's shopping, light rail and train service to & from Seattle. You should definitely try them if you're ever in the Tacoma, WA area. $10.49 w/drink. read more

I always try Gyros wherever I go. They have Beef, Chicken and Lamb meat to choose from. No combined meats there. Rest assured they prepare the meats fresh every day. They have a decent variety of food to select from. It's a little more spendy then some other places I've eaten for the same dish. I went with the LAMB and it was pretty good. The owner who took my order was very pleasant and happy to have my business. It was lunch hour so the place was pretty busy anyway. It's nice to see appreciation from business owners. read more

This is my favorite greek spot!!! They've recently changed their chicken gyro recipe and it is even better than it was before! The owners are great and the price is right! Everything thing made with fresh ingredients and cooked to order. I would suggest the falafel or chicken gyro! Delicioso! read more

One time, they gave us really brown and wilted lettuce. Another time, we found a small pebble in our food. But I'm glad we gave it another try. The beef kebab was probably one of the best things I ever ate. It was the most tender, juicy, and well-marinated meat. It also had a nice char, that was not too burnt. If that beef kebab was the only thing on their menu, they would get five stars from me. read more

I saw the rating on Yelp and stopped on my way back to Seattle. I walked in around 6:40 and ordered the sampler that had a little of everything, for less than $10. After I got my food, I noticed people closing shop and leaving. I checked Yelp and it said it closed at 7pm. The guy behind the counter, who also was the cook, never rushed me. I shoved that delicious Greek food down my throat, and ordered baklava to go. I apologized profusely as someone who used to work in a restaurant and, "hated that guy." Excellent Mediterranean food and superb service. It's also super cool that it's a n international food court in a building that's over 100 years old. read more

Mediterranean Palace - The Sampler with chicken gyro. - Mediterranean Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Wow. That was surprisingly delicious food! I've been here before, but it was a while ago. Tonight was amazing! I ordered the beef kabob plate, which comes with the most amazing brown rice with turmeric (or some yellow spice), and a salad. The salad has this delicious tahini dressing and feta on it, and plenty of tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives. The steak on the kabobs was out of this world. It was tender and very flavorful with a very unique combination of spices on it. Yum! Also, The tzatziki was very good. This place is a hidden gem. We need to remember it! read more

I'm confuzed. All these red stars on here?? Maybe I was having a nightmare that I ate here???... So essentially...I really....ughhhh...didnt eat here??!?? Even though I really (unfortunately) DID eat here... Lemme see...I don't 'get high' no mo' . Sooooo that's not it....I don't drink no mo'. That ain't it. Hmmm...I got a clear head. Yeah...I ate here. I don't get it. I'm sorry...I...I just...don't get it. While their GREEK waffle fries are much better with that creamy greek emulsion (yeeeuuum) than the 'Greek Cafe's' fries in Lakewood (which aren't bad...they just aren't as suttle flavor-wise as here which I dig)--their Gyro however...has BIG lamb shoes to fill in comparison to tha' Greek Cafe. Lakewood y'all....LAKEWOOD. 1st-uggghhh....where y'all get them little 'pita covers'? Translation: tha bread. It was so...so wittle. Yeah wittle. 2nd-Don't toast/char my pita cover. Um..um...don't do that. Be scratchin' tha roof of ya mouth all up. That Char taste messin' with my Gyro taste. Um um...don't do that. 3rd-you see how fluffy I am? U know y that is? Cuz I likes ta EAT. Besides GOD protecting me & loving me --its why I'm happy. Fluffy and blessed. My ?ton is--- WHERREEE is tha meat? I know dang well y'all got more little lambs running around back there than that. Anytime, my pita cover 'crosses over' when I pick it up and I mean CROSS...my fellow YP's.... you got me right? Right???? It CROSSED OOOOOVER....tha' meat. Like....wayyyeee crossed. Um um. No...don't do that. I had ta check and make sure I actually picked tha' dang thang up. Make sure it wasn't my napkin I was fixin' na eat. And yeah 'fixin'.. it's a word. Anyway, it was so light. Look here---Fluffy baby...wants a fluffy sandwich. Like my appreciative brothas' back home in Flint and Detroit say when they see sistas' like myself-- "Dang gurl...you thick" or "man... she healthy". Heathy gurl...Healthy Gyro. Healthy Gyro...Happy Girl. See how that all rolls together?! Cohesive-ness. So go here if you want a-- not-so-tasty 'Gerber Gyro-Slider' for babies just cuttin' their teeth. They got wittle tummies that can't take much....You know who you are. And if your a man...that fits this bill....just don't. Don't raise ya' hand. Just....don't. Or you can go to: Tha 'Greek Cafe'...where they got Gyros built for fluffy, thick, happy in Jesus--Chicks like myself. They got uh whole LOTTA lambs runnin' round in tha' back. Tha pita covers...they barely touch. Warmed on tha grill. Soft bread. Seasoned meat. Try the Super Gyro. Beef, Lamb...Chicken. All three...wit dat tahziki sauce (however ya spell it...).....BOOOOMB! Do that. And for tha Gyro warden readin' this sayin...(in that color-matchin', 'pocket protector' wearin voice you have) "ya know Mrs. Thick...it's not all lamb ya know! True Gyros are only in Greece where they only use 'Real Jesus Lambs'...ya see here in tha' states....." Go sit down somewhere. Don't nobody wanna hear all that. Let me eat my Fake, TASTY, seriously Fluffy--Thick Gyro...in happy ignorance. Oh...and tha' rice...somebody on here said mellow & yellow??? More like nasty and gummy. Is that suppose to be Risotto? Cuz, sista' HATE Risotto. And if it wasn't...? Then you reeaaalllly need go head and 'chunk' (ugghhh...that's THROW) that recipe and tha' person who created it....in tha' Puget Sound. I almost forgot that part I talk so much. See...even I know I do. read more

Mediterranean Palace - Lamb Gyro with fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

There's not many places in Tacoma that you can great affordable and delicious Mediterranean food! Right in the Freighthouse (that's a pretty divey spot to begin with, but filled with the cooky and delicious food n shops) this gem is just the diversity Tacoma needs. It's a super nice lunch time spot bc as a UWT student, I can just take the light rail from downtown. The end of the lightrail stops right infront of the Freighthouse. As for the food. It is spot on. ALWAYS ask for alittle more tzatziki sauce on the side (that green, mayo lookin stuff), especially if you get the Greek waffle fries. My usual is the gyro plate with lamb and they always pack the gyro with meat and veggies once you become a regular. Amber, the cook/server who usually works mid afternoons when I come in, genuinely is friendly and remembered my order only after a second trip, two weeks after my first! It is always super refreshing when you can have a calm and fun conversation with your servers as well as good customer service from them! She was super honest about what she liked and disliked and urged me to try the stuffed grape leaves or to order more tzatziki sauce than normal. Depending on if it's lunch hour, expect to spend a speedy wait of like 6 minutes. I'd call in if you're taking out! There's an hour free private lot behind the freighthouse too and they take credit cards. All in all, my experience at the Mediterranean Palace was wonderful! The staff is more than worthy of a cheaper than 10$ meal per person and a generous tip! They definitely earned it! read more

DELICIOUS. I got the gyro to go and it came with a bag of Lay's. Everything was nicely wrapped and placed in a cute gift bag. It seems like these bag of chips are becoming smaller and smaller with nothing inside but it was still good. The gyro was juicy and delicious. It has onions, tomato, tzatziki sauce, gyro meat, dill and other herbs and spices. It was around $6! I was so happy to find Greek food close to work. I can't wait to try something else on their menu. Apparently they also have the real Mediterranean grill up the street. I can't wait to check that out also. The girl working there was also very nice. I'll be back soon! read more

Growing up in NY , Gyros were everywhere and they were all almost good but this restraraunt is excellent , the staff very friendly and the food is even better , I ask for recommendations and the cashier was very polite , and honest. The food arrived and let me tell you for a person who doesn't eat salad , I cleared my plate I will defiantly be going back with more friends. The lamb in the gyro was excellent, and the rest was delicious read more

Craving some gyros and remembered that there was a spot at Freighthouse so I decided to come here for lunch. Didn't expect much after my ordering experience, the person who took my order was washing dishes as I walked up and didn't seem to friendly, I ordered a couple gyros meals with lamb and crossed my fingers! Got to work and opened up the meals and to me and my co-workers delight they were delish! read more

Love this place; it truly hits the spot every visit. My default plate of choice is the #27, Gyro plate with Fries. How can one turn down a plate? The gyro is flavorful, tender and topped with just the right amount of tzatziki. And then, the fries...crispy criss cuts topped with their house basil sauce generously garnished with feta. Y U M. Best $10 spent and definitely satisfying! I also recommend their dolmas, hummus plate as well as their salads. All equally yummy and satisfying! read more

This little hole in the wall place has great food. They give you big portions too. My favorite place to grab dinner with the family.

DO NOT ORDER ONLINE!!! Their website is apparently a complete scam set up by Order Hero. They charged my credit card and would not refund my money, so no lunch for me and now have to dispute the charge with my bank. read more

T-town has a great food scene. When I'm in the area, Im almost always working. Thus, the majority of my favorite lunch establishments are places that offer great service, thats quick. The owners of this establishment are top notch - and the food reminds me of my hometown. I usually order the Lamb gyro with rice and salad. The meat is tender and the salad is always fresh. In conclusion, they earn a solid THREE-star rating. This is essentially a lunch counter in a food court, and there's nothing wrong with that folks! read more

I will have to give this place another try. I have to say I wasn't that impressed, and I really wanted to be. I read all the great reviews and had to try it. I had the gyro plate and it was ok but not anything to write home about. I will come back and try something else and hopefully will be able to update my review with a better one. read more

Tried this place today for lunch. After reading the reviews, I'm beginning to think that a lot of people haven't tried a genuinely good gyro (or good Mediterranean food period) before, because this place doesn't have one. The gyro meat was so plain and lacked any flavor and the tzatziki just tasted like plain yogurt. The fries it came with were good, but had this really strange, really sour sauce on top that the menu didn't even mention. Needless to say the only reason why I'm giving this place 2 stars is because the servers were friendly and the price wasn't bad, although I'll still consider it to be $11 wasted. I wouldn't recommend this place if you ever come to the Freight House Square; there are plenty of other good restaurants there to choose from. read more

I really like this place. Family run, small menu, fresh food. Reasonable prices for the quality I did see a photo of the menu on Yelp that was out of date so I was surprised that the prices were higher when we got there but the prices are current on the website. 26 bucks for 2 chicken gyro with tzatziki, we ordered 1 with mediterranean fries which are delicious and one without and they give you a bag of lays potato chips, hummus plate is simple but really good. Creamy flavorful hummus, not too oily or gritty or lemony. Perfectly seasoned and garnished with a few olives and a tomato slice and some super soft grilled pita. The pita on the gyros was really fresh too, soft and pillowy and a little chewy. Its in freighthouse square which has free parking on sundays and lots of dining options. I will definitely go back. I have lived in other places with a large greek community and have had better but this is the best I've had in south sound. read more

My husband brought me home some fries with green goddess type sauce, and feta cheese on top! They were the best fries that I had ever had!

I am new to the freight house square food court but my first stop was for the Mediterranean palace. I ordered the falafel and Greek fries. Both were excellent. The falafel definitely had that authentic flavor and spices. And for the Greek fries I was pleasantly surprised. Upon first glance they didn't look like anything special, they were waffle fries with some crumbled feta on top. But they must use some type of spice in the oil or however they cook them because they really packed a punch. All in all It was very good and I will be back! read more
