Unfortunately this place has closed. They were going to become a part of my routine on my way home from the airport. The last time I came some people inside told me they were closed. When I DMd their instagram they told me they were permanently closed. Out of respect that they deserve I decided to still do this review. I somehow skipped over this place when I did my last round of vacation reviews last year or so. Anyways I found them by chance on my way to get coffee after my flight back into Oakland. I ordered their chicken shawarma and gyro combo plate. I think this was my first time trying the Greek variations of these items. I'd say their flavors were maybe more bright, light and fresh compared to that of the middle eastern counterparts who have a richer depth of flavor. Maybe this is just how this specific restaurant did it? Or maybe that's how the Mediterranean version just is? Anyways they were very nice to allow me to bring in my coffee from a couple of doors down. The workers were so nice and accommodating. The restaurant was nice and clean as well. I'll miss coming to this place on my way home from the Oakland Airport. read more

Moussaka Mediterranean Kitchen - Business - Permanently Closed - Mediterranean Near Me - San Leandro, California

Parking is street so it's iffy. Vibes are really nice here. Lights aren't too bright, seats are comfortable enough, tables are spaced out well. Service was friendly. Regarding whether they are celiac safe, the bottom of their menu says "all kabobs are gluten free". However, no item on their menu is called a kabob. The waitress seemed unsure of which meat-on-stick dishes were being referred to as gluten free. That's a red flag to me-- they should have said ALL SKEWERS ARE GLUTEN FREE. The beef kabob was good. I ordered it medium rare and they served it medium..... bummer but not a huge deal because it was still flavorful. The Greek salad was crazy, I'm sorry!! I liked that it had a lot of feta, but it only had 2 olives, and they gave me tomato QUARTERS, which is a huge chunk of tomato for a salad. There was no dressing on it as well. The dessert case has three options for gluten free desserts. They explained that they actually outsource these from a gluten free bakery so they can be sure they're truly gluten free. They do share the same glass case as the other (glutinous) desserts, but they're wrapped in plastic. The Turkish delight is gf as well. I'd come back. read more

Hospitality! Hospitality! Turkish hospitality! Absolutely loved Moussaka Mediterranean Kitchen in San Leandro here! From the moment I stepped in, the authentic design of the restaurant transported us straight to Turkey. The chairs in the middle of the dining area were especially unique and added such a charming touch to the atmosphere. The live views of Bancroft, providing a perfect backdrop to an already mouthwatering, desserts. The menu was a delightful mix of Turkish and American sweets, each more flavorful than the last. The baklava cheesecake were a true highlight - delicious and beautifully presented on the half round dish. But what really made this place shine - hospitality. Niles and wife went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable dining experience. 5 stars all the way and wait till we get back! read more

We came here to enjoy time with friends visiting from Switzerland as one of our last meals together before they returned. The restaurant is medium-sized with minimalist style. It's casual, but a little higher-end-casual. The surrounding area is a mix of commercial and residential property. On a weeknight we were easily able to find parking. Also nearby is a coffee shop that looked nice to visit after dinner. The food was very tasty with nice presentation. The appetizer combo plate "Combo dips" was nice, because we were able to try out the different dips. I liked the tirakafteri best. There was also a special menu and I ordered "Turkish ravioli", which was mini dumplings with a teeny bit of meat in the middle. It looked like a lot of effort to make. I wish there was more meat inside. The sauce was yogurt based and because the yogurt is sour or more neutral, the dish overall was not as flavorful, but a dash of salt helped improved the dish. My friend ordered saganaki which was fun. The chef came out and delivered it to us and that was fun. My favorite part of our experience (other than enjoying time catching up with our friends) was the dessert display which had many different types of cakes and Turkish delights. I got some of the "mochi" , coconut, and double pomegranate Turkish delights. The "mochi" ones are different colored and have different flavors. I liked them because they were small and bite size. The green was a mint flavor. The service was excellent and the interaction with the chef was pleasant and welcoming. I highly recommend coming out here and I can easily see this place being a regular place to meet up if we only lived nearby. read more

I had this bookmarked for some time now and finally had the chance to try it. The service here is phenomenal. We got greeted, seated, and helped in a fast pace! We ordered lamb shank, kebabs combo, pistachios salad, and pistachio ricotta as dessert plus wine as drink. The lamb shank is really tender and slightly sweet but savory. The kebab wasn't what we expected, we thought there would be more meat in a skewers but it was thinly sliced meat. Maybe we didn't read the menu well enough. We still enjoyed it. We got the salad to have some greens in our system lol. Overall on the food itself was a bit bland because we eat a lot of flavorful foods in general so it might be why we feel like it is on the lighter side. Since there was pepper and salt on the table so it helps. Also, from my assumption there is a decent amount of elderly customers or they are regulars and they usually don't eat super salty food. I also see families with their kids that eat there. I will say, I feel healthy and clean eating here. I will still come back here to eat and bring my parents. I really love the vibe while I was eating here. It can also feel cozy and homey while it is an edgy looking spot at the same time. read more

Have been here a couple times, either with a party of 4 or 6, and it's been pretty good and I didn't mind being back when people chose it as a meeting spot. My order was the Alexander (Iskender) chef special, which is beef and lamb over warm pita bread, with marinara and yogurt. Costs $23. Pros: - reliably delicious food, with pretty unique and nicer upscale Mediterranean (not your typical Nick the Greek or Pita Pit type of vibe). - Really cute ambiance! I especially love the colorful chairs that you can spin on like an office chair - The servers were extremely friendly and kind - HUGE portions - I used to think it was an expensive place, but for the amount of food you get with each dish it really is like 2 meals. Reasonably priced when you order the things that are under $25. - Wide variety of dish options on if you want to do family style or if everyone wants to order their own meat plate. - I consider this a very San Leandro vibe restaurant, unique and local Cons: - sometimes parking can be tricky on weekends or busier nights. I usually park in the residential area near Oakes Blvd and walk over - for some reason both times I've been here the air circulation wasn't great and I felt very hot and sweaty inside, only to feel much relief after stepping into the colder night air. Not sure if it's just the seats to the right of the entryway? read more

Logistically a nightmare for pickups. I came here a few minutes early to pick up my food and ended up waiting 25 minutes with my food just sitting there. When I got there and said I was here for a pickup, the waiter told the cooking stars to make it. There were 2 other staff just standing there not checking in with me or the orders. I only asked about my order when someone else came to pick up their order and saw another bag. When we got our food, the fries were not fresh despite me waiting a long time for them to make the food. The fries even tasted like they were fried twice. There was a lot of liquid in our chicken gyros which means it would be difficult to save due to the soggy pitas. They got my soda order wrong and also the sides -- I asked for a side salad but they gave me only soup. The flavors were good and had potential, but the logistics of picking up the food made this a bad experience. I might give them a try again but only if I were dining in. Even then I wouldn't dine in on a weekend evening. The restaurant was packed with people upset about the slow service. With over 12 tables and only one active waiter, I'm not sure this restaurant is functioning efficiently. read more

Cane here to meet a buddy from Canada. We ordered combo kebab plate, Sultan's favorite, and lamb kebab. We also ordered large combo plate for appetizer and Efes beer for drinks. 1. Lamb kebab: dry, overcooked, bland, and tough. Good portion for one person. 2 skewers per portion. 2. Combo kebab: a lot of meat, maybe good, but I tried the chicken and it's ok. Nothing remarkable. 3. Sultan's favorite: better lamb than the skewers. If you like lamb, I'll suggest this dish. Keep in mind this dish is HUGE and extremely hot. Be careful. It was ok, nothing great either. 4. Combo plate: baba ghanoush was so bland, tzatziki was ok, and hummus was better than the rest. Pita bread was hot, so it's great. Service was ok, she lets us sit for a long time before actually taking our order. But always nice and kind. Ambience was good, not too crowded or loud, comfortable space too. read more

Tried this place for the first time. It's on the corner of well lit street. Getting in the restaurant was bit challenging because their front door handle has to be twisted to open the door. We were seated immediately. We didn't mention about our reservation neither they asked because tables were empty on Friday evening. We ordered stella and iron skillet garlic prawns appetizer first. We decided to share our entree Combo Kebap (lamb and chicken skewers, kofte kebap, beef and lamb doner) considering it as a very large portion for us. Both our appetizer and entree were very good. Their chicken skewers and rice are delicious. By this time, they had forgotten our stella and never came back to check on us and we did not want to ask since we were almost done eating. I was very excited to try their deserts. I ordered the last one on the menu which was provided to us. It was some kind of gelato with chocolate and pistachio. I saw my server bring out a cake from their glass display. I was given a cake and without realizing it has no chocolate, I started to eat . Then realized they gave me a wrong desert, I told my server who was surprised and thought I ordered some kind of pistachio cake. I asked her which desert she brought me on the menu which she was not able to find anywhere on the menu. However she apologized for both- missing our drink and for a wrong desert. We asked to take out the charge for the desert which she reluctantly did, we paid and left. We met a couple outside who asked us " were they trying to give you a wrong desert too?". They shared a similar story of being given a desert which they never ordered and was asked to take it anyways because they accidentally packed it. They said they paid for a desert which they actually didn't order. Long story short, not sure if this confusion of deserts were deliberately caused or it was a mere coincidence. I will be back for their skewers one day but most likely will take food to go. read more

Owner/chef Nilgun B. has been producing some excellent Turkish/Mediterranean food and a number of delicious desserts (she's a very creative pastry chef, too). The DR has been recently remodeled for a cleaner and more comfortable look. Do note for those who are unfamiliar with Turkish food, although it does use hot chilis in a few dishes, overall it is NOT a "hot spice" cuisine. Do not expect chili flakes or flamin' hot sauces here; Turkish home cooking (we have several Turkish friends) does not use them. They use many spices, but not the jalapeno/serrano/habanero kind! The pastry case, which used to be on the side near the entry, is now at the back of the restaurant, on the left. Don't miss taking a look; most of her desserts are NOT listed on the regular dessert menu as she changes them often. Tip: if the baklava cheesecake is there, DO NOT MISS IT. Lovers of Philly-style cheesecake will flip over this tall, but exquisitely light and creamy beauty! We came once with friends and all four of us gave this dessert 5-stars. It takes several days to make so it's not always available; just ask the waitstaff. Those looking for keto, diabetic, vegetarian or vegan dishes will find plenty here to enjoy. Meat lovers are well-accommodated too, with hearty skewers, excellent fish, and wonderful lamb dishes. The Hunkar Begendi (pureed eggplant, braised lamb with gravy, soft tasty rice/orzo pilaf) is outstanding; we also love the Meat Moussaka with its Bechamel topping and flavorful tomato sauce. Cheese lovers will adore the flaming Saganaki: halloumi cheese deep-fried and set aflame in brandy. Soft fresh pita wedges help make it the best toasted-cheese snack ever, LOL. Relatively easy parking; residential streets are free but Bancroft Ave. and side streets running west for 1 block are metered. read more

Moussaka Mediterranean is an elegant restaurant with a menu of dishes inspired by flavors from across the Mediterranean. We started with the Moussaka Meze platter, which came with 3 dolmas, 3 falafels, spanakopita, hummus, tzatziki, and pita bread. My favorite components were the crispy spanakopita and falafels, which went nicely with the tzatziki and hummus. Next, the Grilled Cheese Salad came with a mixture of romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and bell peppers, all tossed in a light pomegranate vinaigrette and topped with crispy slices of saganaki. The highlight of the salad was definitely the crispy cheese, whose saltiness paired perfectly with the fresh, crunchy vegetables underneath. And then came the mains. The Bouillabaisse was a hearty saffron tomato stew with lots of different kinds of seafood including clams, mussels, grilled salmon, prawns, calamari, and scallops, served with garlic pita bread on the side. The Lamb Shank Tagine featured a whole lamb shank braised with chickpeas in a red wine tomato sauce, served with sautéed vegetables (Brussels sprouts, carrots, cauliflower) over Israeli couscous; and the Sumac Chicken Tagine came with two chicken thighs cooked in a sumac cream sauce, also served with vegetables and couscous. Both of the tagines were hearty and came in generous portions, though my favorite dishes here were simply the appetizers! read more

I visited Moussaka with a party of 4 on a Sunday around lunch time. There was a good amount of people inside but we were able to get seated immediately without reservations. I decided to get the Combo Kebab. The rice and salad wasn't anything special. The salad tasted fresh. The star of the meal was the lamb. It was flavorful & tasted so good with the tzatziki sauce. Their service is amazing. Our waitress was covering so many tables and everything came out fairly quick. She definitely went above and beyond. Parking: There's some metered street parking but also there's a free parking lot across the street by Safeway. PSA: they don't do anything special for birthdays! read more

This place was such an amazing find. The hummus was fresh and had some crispy chickpeas on top. The bread was light and fluffy and perfect for dipping. The baba ghanoush was chunky with lovely seasoning and great for dipping. The tzatziki had just the right amount of garlic and was super tasty on its own, even though I'm used to having it with meat. The spicy feta was a little on the salty side, but then again that is feta. The crispy brussels sprouts were amazing though admittedly a little oily I still love them. I wasn't as excited about the dolmas, but also they were still pretty good. We had the chicken wrap which was yummy and also desserts. The Turkish delight tasted very much like what I had when I was in Turkey and I really enjoyed it. Plus, the chocolate cake was super tasty. And finally, the Turkish coffee was made just as I expected. I'll be back, such a find!! Service was perfect. read more

My daughter wanted to check this restaurant out, so she took me out to lunch. I thought it was okay, although the only Mediterranean food that I had was from Nick the Greek, so I don't have much to compare it to. However, I really enjoyed the food At Nick the Greek, so I was excited to check them out, especially since my daughter heard that their baklava was fire. We sat down, and the restaurant was a little smaller than I anticipated, so I suppose it was cozy and intimate. We waited quite a while for someone to take our order. I ordered the Beef and Lamb Gyro plate, which was about $22. It came with the meat and tzatziki sauce. I ordered rice, and my daughter ordered the beef skewers (medium rare) with some fries. Beef and Lamb Gyro Plate - 5/10 - The meat looked so dry but it wasn't as dry as I anticipated but still dry. Beef Skewers - 5/10 - Beef was not medium rare but well done. Everything was edible but compared to what it was for the price, I can't say that it was worth it. So, we moved on to the dessert. We ended up taking a bunch of stuff to take home to the family. We had 3 cakes and 2 baklavas, and it came up to $60 (STEEP!) Baklavas - 3/10 - We were told that it wasn't too sweet, but it just didn't hit, so we ended up tossing it. Oreo Cheesecake for my youngest - 2/10 - She didn't like it cuz it didn't really have the cheesecake flavor Caramel Carrot Cake for the husband - 5/10 - He thought it was ok. Biscoff Cheesecake - 8/10 - Probably the best thing out of everything that we ordered. Overall, I think I will stick to Nick the Greek for a more enjoyable meal and for a lower price. I was quite disappointed. read more

What a hidden treasure! Long time resident first time trying this . Food was superb. I had the BEST grilled salmon I've ever tasted.( I've eaten grilled Salmon from SF to Monteray coast) Perfectly cooked. Huge piece. You could taste the char and the side Tahiti lemon sauce perfect. Had the lemon potatoes, again crisp wedges of deliciousness. Their house Greek salad was authentic fresh farmers market tasty veggies crisp heart of romaine, tomato cucumber red onions and shaved feta. Lemon EVO herb dressing) Highly recommend.

Met a friend after work and was craving some Mediterranean food so I found this place on Yelp. The staff was super attentive and would come around every now and then to see if we needed a refills or anything else. The food was delicious I got the chicken kabob plate and my friend ordered a beef and lamb gyro plate. He is a picky eater and he absolutely loved it! We also ordered garlic fries which were perfectly seasoned. We couldn't resist and took a look at the dessert case which had a wide variety of yummy delights. From baklava to tiramisu..which we ended up ordering tiramisu and a lemon tart? I can't remember but all I know is that we did not leave any left on the plates! read more

Really great food I really like it here my only complaint is I think they skimp on the sauce a bit

Moussaka is a great place to dine because the food is just really nicely done. Nile, the owner, works both the kitchen and front of the house. She's just a ball of energy and makes it a point to say hello to every customer and make their dining experience more enjoyable. The food is really good too. Tried some of the menu items like Kofte, stuffed eggplant, kebabs, roasted cauliflower, etc. and every item had been delicious. I hate to focus on only one thing but I think the french fries are pretty spectacular. Their thin, seasoned nicely, and crispy all the way around. On my last visit as I was leaving, I jokingly gestured to grab a french fry that was under the heat lamp, and the owner saw me. I thought I was in trouble but she actually came running out of the kitchen with a mixing bowl of fresh french fries offering me to take a couple for the road. This place is really more like a friend's house than a restaurant. Always looking forward to coming back when I'm in the area ... even if it's just for some french fries. Highly recommend this place. Give Moussaka a try and you won't be disappointed. read more

They're trying hard to show they care greatly about you in this warm place in the little village of San Leandro. The Mediterranean menu has quite a few different options, such as the Hunkar Begendi, which is a very homespun spoon-tender braised lamb in a nice eggplant sauce. Their orzo pilaf is quite a nice alternative to the standard plain versions, showing they slightly toast their orzo pasta before combining it with their very fluffy rice. I ordered their Saganaki from their special menu and wasn't disappointed. It has a really crispy exterior with creamy halloumi inside and is soaked with a splash of flaming Ouzo - many other restaurants stopped doing this dish because of the fire hazard, but I'm happy. Still, this place keeps the tradition alive and kicking. The desserts are all on display as you walk in - and you should peruse them on a filled stomach, or else risk over-ordering everything in front of you. We sampled the chocolate baklava, a Milky baklava, a pistachio mousse tarte, and a black forest tarte, which fully satisfied our expectations. read more

This restaurant is such a great neighborhood find in San Leandro. My wife and I went there for dinner and were so happy we picked this restaurant. From the moment we sat down, our waiter was already bringing us water and pita to start off with. He had suggested the small combo appetizer to us, which was a great choice. We then both ordered our entrees which both were flavorful and delicious. The restaurants staff were so accommodating and nice throughout our entire meal. The restaurants small but intimate dinning room was just perfect. We felt like we were eating at someone's home. Overall I would recommend this restaurant if you are anywhere near San Leandro and looking for good Mediterranean food. read more

What a delight it was to dine here! The ambiance is really why you'd want to dine at a non-chain restaurant like "Moussaka Mediterranean" I would describe it as stylish and even perhaps romantic...it's obvious someone thought how they wanted to present themselves as a restaurant and executed that vision. Service with a smile is always noted and appreciated (I believe my server was Leila)...otherwise it was efficient without being over bearing. The food was good and satisfying. I also ordered the Turkish coffee which I found very smooth and flavorful along with 2 different kinds of desserts (baklava and a parfait like mousse) both inundated with pistachios...I'd comeback for the parfait thing alone! So good! Overall great dining experience wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone wanting a good dining experience with equally good (Greek inspired) food. read more

The moussaka is darned good which makes sense considering the name of this restaurant ... it comes in a little cast iron pan blazing hot and bubbling. We also really loved the fattoush but I wasn't a fan of the manti; since I'm used to it prepared a little differently I tried to decide if it was objectively good and I believe if this is the only place I had tried it I probably wouldn't want it ever again (it's the only thing we didn't fight over, and is usually our favorite) Overall we loved it though, and look forward to trying more of their dishes! Service was quick and friendly, the space was comfortable and welcoming. read more

Ordered to go and the food was still pretty warm when it arrived. It was a good amount of food but I wish there was a bit more in the combination plate. Items ordered: - Moussaka Meze: Comes with 3 falafel, 3 dolmades, 1 spanakopita, hummus, and tzatziki and pita bread. My favorite was probably the spanakopita! The falafel was ok, and the dolmades were pretty sour. The hummus was also alright, but always goes well with pita bread. - Meat Moussaka: My favorite out of all the different items to eat! The meat moussaka was very tasty and was complimented well with the tomato sauce. read more

I happened to walk past this restaurant around 2:30pm on a leisurely Saturday afternoon. I was thinking about dinner. Take out was about to happen so I decided to stop into this lovely restaurant on the corner. The person who took my order was friendly and made me feel comfortable as I decided and then waited for my order. It was the middle of the afternoon so almost no one was dining. There was only 1 party so I didn't feel what I anticipate is a normal busyness this restaurant might have. I ordered two items; Hünkar Beğendi (The Sultan's Delight) and Turkish dumplings. I haven't had either. But they packed my dishes well. When I got home, they were still "plated" well. The Sultan's Delight was DELICIOUS! I REALLY enjoyed the texture and flavors of the eggplant under the lamb. Now I want to cook it myself. And the Turkish dumplings were cute! All these little meat filled dumplings topped with some saucy spices. I don't often eat Turkish food but when I do, I really enjoy it! read more
