We had the chicken souvlaki, one of the best we have ever had . We have eaten at many different types of middle eastern food but I would rank this place in the top 5 all time . A very distinct seasoning makes this a must try . read more

A random spot by the Tesla chargers turned out to be one of the best mediterranean restaurants we have eaten at. Each group that came in greeted the owners as family. Great food and fantastic people. read more

A random search for Mediterranean food nearby led us here. Plates are about $16-20, but portions are good and overall a fair value. Ordered Chicken kabobs, rice and hummus and bread. Falafel was decent. The chicken is a 10/10. Moist and delicious. We were entertained by the very, very young man running the front (Moe) A big smile, polite, energetic. Cleaning, organizing and taking orders etc. Great kid. Great food. Order took about 10+ minutes. Be patient. Go see Moe!!! read more

For a quick and healthy lunch I stopped by Mediterranean Spice and order their chicken shawarma sandwich. It was delicious with moist and seasoned chicken, lettuce, tomato, and their house garlic sauce. The bread was warm, fresh, and the perfect texture to hold everything together in a wrap. Service was fast and friendly. The ambiance is spartan but clean and functional. If you enjoy Mediterranean food, stop by to support this independent business! read more

Well, it's tarnished since 11/2024. What was a 5 star perfect experience, has diminished so much so that my gf doesn't want to go anymore. I still have hope it will return to glory. I've been 6 or so times, and nothing has been the same. Abdul, the owner, is delightful. He is the same great guy. But... * The are often out of the beautiful Chicken Shawarma, you have to get to Med Spice early. * The beef Shawarma is just not as good, and gristly * Chicken souvlaki (kebabs) is well-seasoned, but has been dry twice Overall, the rating deserves a 3.5 star, but I just got have to give them the benefit of the doubt. read more

Perfectly executed kabobs that are grilled just right to retain moisture, texture, and flavor. I like the tahini and pickle bar as well. read more

I love this place! I've been here well over ten times, and every time I've enjoyed it. Most recently went in right as they opened and my chicken bowl was so delicious and fresh. The service is always friendly and the ambiance is nice, I enjoy sitting outside personally. I 100% enjoy this location more than the Atascadero one! read more

One of THE BEST mediterranean restaurants I've ever eaten at. We stumbled upon this place while looking for a casual dinner in downtown Paso Robles. Most of the restaurants have extremely long wait times and are more steak and wine bar vibes than what we were looking for. This was meant to be. We walked in and beat the dinner rush. For starters, french fries (because my husband orders them everywhere), mozzarella sticks (not mediterranean, just comfort food. LOL), and a greek salad to share. For entrees, chicken shawarma platter, mixed grill platter (lamb, beef, chicken kebabs), and kofta kebab - the platters are jam packed with flavors, comes with rice, pita, hummus, roasted veggies, and cucumber/tomato salad. Their food here is really really good. Great bang for your buck as well. One of the more affordable options in Paso Robles. Another highlight is their self serve condiment bar - onions with sumac, pickled turnip, garlic sauce, spicy garlic sauce, pickles, and tahini. Self serve GARLIC SAUCE? No place has ever been that generous with garlic sauce AND pickled turnip. Lol. Great service. Huge dining room. We all enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend this place. read more

This place is bright, clean, with plenty of seating. You walk up to order. Get a number, sit down, then wait for your food. When I came it was lunchtime and from ordering to getting my food it took 25 min. The staff was nice but that day seemed overwhelmed. They have a condiment bar. The garlic sauce is quite yummy and LOVE the pickled turnips! I got the gyro which was very tasty. I will return but not when I only have a 30 minute lunch break. It is worth going! read more

Food was great. I had the grilled veggie salad and added gyro meat and a side of tzatziki. The order taker didn't tell me that it already came with a side of tzatziki so I ended up with two. It wasn't my favorite tzatziki because it had mint in it. The veggie salad had zucchini, onion, red pepper, feta, salad. I liked the condiment bar where you could add onions, garlic sauce, pimento sauce, etc. The restaurant is very clean. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. There is indoor and outdoor dining. Prices are fair. read more

Located slightly on the outskirts of downtown Paso is this great Greek influenced Mediterranean restaurant. The food is as pictured - fresh, vibrant, made to order. We were the only patrons so it was nice to have the space to ourselves. There was nothing short of flavor as we demolished our plates - every single one of us!! What I appreciated was a self service bar for garlic paste, onions / parsley, pickles, and other compliments for our dishes. Water was readily available, also at the self service station. This is a place to keep in mind when many places in the area require advance reservations or close early-ish. read more

This "space" has had quite a few lives, none of which lived very long. I had to venture in to see for myself who and what we have here today. Just a block away from the action and walk in traffic, they're going to need some great food, and great service to survive. Thought I'd watch the opening game of the World Series but the tv's don't have the subscription to the network airing the game. So let's see the family owned and operated business defiantly reflects the Mediterranean based on menu choices and of course with an American taste. I'm in...let's order Greek salad with a lemon dressing and a small 10" thin crust pizza with pepperoni. I ordered at the counter and the food is delivered to your table. Food was out to me in a reasonable time, about 18 minutes. The food was delivered to my table, both the salad and pizza. The pizza crust could have been pulled out of the oven a few minutes sooner, ok I'm in for crunch...the salad was of good size in a 10" bowl. Fresh and crispy romaine lettuce, plenty of tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers and some pitted olives & cubed feta cheese. The dressing was quite tasty. The pizza was good, plenty of cheese and good pepperoni coverage. I enjoyed my dinner $30 bucks is the going price these days. Would I return? ah maybe but there are other places I've yet to review so...no Thanks for listening Foodguy-martn read more

Fantastic food and service. We ate lunch here and it was the best Falafel we have ever had . We also had the sampler with pita, grape leaves, hummus etc . Delicious! They make their falafel with fava beans instead of chick peas and it is light and fluffy. Loved their baklava for desert. Highly recommended!!!!! read more

Vegan review- tried their vegan falafel sandwich. It's actually a wrap filled with falafel, tahini and hummus and veggies and then grilled to perfection. Falafel was super fresh and the flavors worked very well together! I personally felt it could use an acidic element and some kind of spicy sauce on the side. The service was great and tables were clean. read more

Just had dinner at the restaurant. I ordered BabaGounash and a falafel and picked up tahini sauce from the sauce area. The BabaGounash I had to return it because it was it tasted very very sour, same with Tahini sauce. It tasted as if it had been left out for too long. The server took the BabaGounash but there was no request for compensation or anything like that even though I paid for it. MVery bad service and food. read more

Fairly average Mediterranean food, seems like they are specializing in pizzas. Ordered the chicken shawarma platter - the bread pieces were good and very thin, chicken was ok, but the vegetables tasted old. Given how empty the place was our food came out quite slowly. Also, the tap water was murky and tasted weird. read more

Mediterranean food is one of my favorite foods but when I tell you the spot is official, you will want to come here. I didn't want a whole platter usually I get a full plate so I decided to try the Gyro M the bread they use for the Gyro is phenomenal. Has such great flavors and you can taste the clean fresh taste on each bite I will definitely be back to try one of their platters. read more

I enjoy good falafel, but this had to be the worst we have ever eaten. I question if this was made from chickpeas. Good falafel should have a crisp texture, but this version was soft and tasteless. Can't rate their other dishes, but if it was like the one we ordered it would be as bad. Interesting that the cook, Mohammad, ordered his dinner from another restaurant which arrived while we were eating. read more

Great food and easy to call in a To-Go order! parking was right out front. We will definitely be back!

The food was delicious and freshly made. I had the mixed veggie mezze plate. Each item was well prepared and it was plenty of food. The items were reasonably priced as well. Location is central. read more

Amazing!!! fresh made pita!!! Best mediterranean food I have ever had, Abdalla and family work very hard and you can taste the difference.

What a find. Two visits in and we've loved and felt good about everything we ordered. Their hummus and pita bread are delicious. The dolmas are fresh and subtly minty, resting atop and delicately soaked in a silky, lemon-infused marinade that's addictively good. Their beef, lamb, and chicken dishes are always fresh, tender, well-seasoned and beautifully presented. Rice, veggies, and sauces are all freshly made and delicious. Free refills on fountain drinks. Even for our large groups service was quick, and their pricing is quite reasonable. Delicious, healthy fare which we know will bring us back in again and again. read more

SO happy to have these folks open in Paso, with so few Mediterranean options nearby. I can't speak to service or ambiance, as my husband grabbed us take-out. He had a choose-your-own small (10-inch) pizza with bacon, sausage, white sauce, and basil. He loved it- absolutely delicious and flavorful, and toppings were perfectly distributed/portioned. Total winner. I opted for a gyros plate with extra meat (I was hungry.... naturally, finished about half, oops), which I was thrilled with. They are making their own gyros shaved off a spit (NOT the pre-fab Sodexo gyros that every other local place seems to use, which I am so happy to see), hummus, tzatziki (super rich and creamy), and pita. The rice was spiced to perfection with some really nice aromatics, and the tomato/cucumber salad on the side was a perfect fresh, slightly acidic balance for the rich meat and tzatziki. Prices were super reasonable- $14 for his pizza with 3 added toppings, and my gyros plate with extra meat was $19 (would have been $14 without the extra gyros). We will be back, and very soon! read more

I am no expert on Mediterranean food. But I do know that I really enjoyed my food. It was all great tasting food and it was priced reasonably. It's a walk up and order then they bring it to your table. It's a very casual restaurant. I hope it does well. read more

Mediterranean Spice - 1. Chicken Shawarma Plater - Pizza Near Me - Paso Robles, California

We ordered a bunch of items from the menu and the portions are pretty big for the platters. Kofta kebab was good, just needs more seasoning. Chicken shawarma was dry and the management replaced it instantly but with the tritip (so I didn't have to wait for the new chicken) Wow! Tritip was juicy and cooked with a little pink. Well seasoned and was a great replacement. Gyro was well seasoned and I would definitely have that in the pita wrap next time. Chicken shawarma sandwich (pita) was good and juicy except towards the end it had dry meat. The hummus was perfect and a 10 for the baba ganoush. Falafel bites!!! They hit the spot and reminded me of the 4 years living in the Middle East. As for ambience, it's nice spot as we use to go here when it was SM Brewery, the hot chicken spot, then the soul food joint. Hope this places stays open longer as the food is really good and authentic. read more

I really love the hummus here. The portions are large and worth the value you pay. The lamb was very juicy and it was hard to choose between lamb and trip tip. I had the chicken before and felt it was dry. Of the 3, I think the lamb has the best in flavor. I wish the spicy garlic sauce was a little spicier. Otherwise, the food and service were great. I would come back again. read more

Best lamb kebab on the West Coast, folks. That's just for starters. There is an exceedingly polite young man, Abdul, at the register when you walk in. Never took him for the chef - too young I thought. Well, lemme tell yooouuu, this gracious young man has about 75 years of cooking experience in his young frame. He learned his craft from his parents, namely his mother, and it is as authentic as all get out. This is EGYPTIAN HOME COOKING you *cannot* miss if you are in Paso! Can't make Cairo this year? No need. Everything on your lamb kebab platter is allllll you need.... The fellafel almost made me cry - soooo crispy on the outside and savory-tender on the inside, you'll want multiple orders. The hummus, the very soft pita wedges, the grilled veggies are wolf-downable ...and I DID! Buuut, that lamb kebab?? Man. Just. Perfect. Not dried out, flavorful to the max, and Abdul piles it on your plate. You're not getting just 4 pieces, mmkaay? And his prices? Food this good and plentiful would be DOUBLE what it is in L.A. You WILL BE stuffed for about $19.00/per.... Abdul has an absolute winner here. If you like Middle Eastern delicacies, he has it goin' on. I WILL be back! read more

Delicious food, relaxing atmosphere. Everything came out hot and fresh. My family and I loved this place and will be back again.

Great food with bold, well-balanced flavors! Everything we tried was delicious and clearly made fresh. The menu offers a wide variety of options, which makes it easy for different tastes and dietary preferences to find something for everyone - especially with little kids. Overall, a really enjoyable dining experience with lots of potential to become a go-to spot. read more

My friends and I were feeling some Mediterranean food tonight and stopped by at this gem at the corner of Park Street. The place was empty, but it's a Tuesday everyone was probably out having tacos so we said eh why not give it a whirl. The food was delicious I got the chicken shawarma and it was amazing juicy chicken, paired great with their spicy garlic and tzatziki sauce, along with the hummus and the pita bread. This pita bread was unique and tasted home made I was shook in a good way. Highly recommend and my friends got the beef, chicken and lamb kabobs they loved them and they didn't want to wait for me to take pics of their food haha but the portions are great. Can't wait to go back. read more

We will absolutely be back for the Chicken Shawarma Pizza, it was the best part of our order. The food was good and we liked the sauce bar. They have house made pickles which were great. My friend was really excited about how her gyro salad turned out. There's plenty of street parking and they have a display case of baklava next to the register. They only have soda and water as a heads up. They do dine in and take out. They have a couple of TVs and a large digital menu. Our one frustration was we ordered our food at 5:15pm on a Sunday evening then sat there for 45 minutes waiting for it. The place was not slammed and food was regularly coming out. There was a set of two other gals waiting for their takeout that were pretty frustrated and I don't blame them. Next time we'll call ahead. If you order in person- ask them the wait time. read more
