Honestly this is my favorite Mediterranean food. I always order on DoorDash! I always go for the chicken shawarma plate with yellow rice and grilled veggies. Everything on my plate was very delightful and tasty! The chicken is very well seasoned. Their house salad is also good if you want to give it a try! I always ask for extra garlic sauce they do charge 50 cents more but it's a must for me! I recommend definitely!

Jerusalem Mix Pita and a Chicken Kabob Plate! Yum yum!

This place is killer good, like killer delicious! I love this place! The service was fast and very nice! I love the music they play and my girls love it too! I really like the food a lot and the price is very nice. Please eat here because it is so good!

Steak cut Greek fries, chicken kabobs lunch and polo kabob. Both entrees choose 2 sides.

I had such a great experience here! First, the place was clean and the staff was friendly and accommodating which brings everything to a good start. Now the food, exquisite! My friend ordered the chicken kabobs lunch and that chicken was so tender and flavorful that I still think about it. I got the lolo kabob lunch and, again, juicy and soft and so flavorful! How are they able to get their meats so juicy and tender when other similar restaurants make them so dry? Impressive! The Greek fries had feta and salty Kalamata olives that went perfectly with the sauce that was on the fries. I would like to eat that again as well. And the pita bread must have been home made because they were fluffy inside and toasty on the outside, not flat and delicate like usual pita breads. Everything was delicious and I'm definitely going to come back for sure.

Tried this on a limb and didn't regret it! It's a smaller Mediterranean spot with about 6ish seats and a pretty simple menu. The woman at the counter was super sweet and helpful with any explanations we needed. I ordered the chicken kebab plate with a side of yellow rice, pita bread, and grilled veggies. I also ordered a side of hummus and their garlic pita bread! The hummus was super creamy and paired so well with the garlicky pita bread. The chicken was just a tad bit dry for me, but dipping in the provided garlic sauce helped out! Their grilled veggies medley was grilled just to my preference, though my mom found them a bit mushy, but they were super flavorful! Next time, I'd like to try the rice with noodles and build your own sandwich, so I'll be back!

Service was good. Appreciated that the owner seemed to be training a newbie w/professionalism & kindness. Ambiance is standard. ORDER: * Gyro: Amount of mat was good & it was tasty, but I wish it had been more stuffed w/veg. It was definitely lacking despite asking for a bunch of things. * Dolma: Tasty, oiled well outside & great zing of dill. * Falafel: Perfectly crunch outside & soft inside, not too dense or dry inside which happens w/sone falafel. * Baba ganoush: Tasty tho I wish it were smokier tasting. Also it needs the olive oil drizzle that most places out on it. * Mixed kabob platter w/pita & angel hair pasta sides (no picture, forgot because we ate it next day): Tasty but definitely not enough meat. Overall pretty good tho I do have a few Mediterranean favorites here in Fresno too but was great to try something new. You should try them out!

Hummus & Baba Ghanous w/ pita bread

I just want to start off by saying the staff was absolutely welcoming and sweet. I believe it was the owner who came up to me and my mom. He was so thankful for trying his food. As well, checking in on everyone else if they needed anything. Now to the food, it was 10/10 across the boards. This was my mom and I first time trying this place. We were not disappointed. I ordered the chicken kabob plate with rice & salad. Let me say my go-to orders at other similar restaurants is Spicy chicken. I didn't see they had that option other than the spicy Jerusalem (mixture of beef, lamb, & chicken) so I asked if it was possible if they can make my chicken spicy. They were happy to do so. I am very thankful for that. My chicken was so tender with a perfect amount of spice. The rice itself was fluffy and flavorful. The salad was tangy and light. Every thing worked perfectly well with each other. My mother got the Arabic salad with the same request as me a spicy chicken kabob. She could not stop raving about how delicious it was. She is already planning to bring our other family to try this wonderful food. Lastly, we both loved the hummus and baba ghanoush. I thank everyone at Simply Pita. It's definitely a gem. We will be back!

Chicken shawarma salad
Savanna V.

Quick lunch here while on a road trip and I am very happy with my choice! Lots in the shopping center but this is a little gem. Great $11 lunch special for a salad, gyro, or kabob plate! I got the salad, which was big and fresh with chicken shawarma. My partner got the gyro, which had thinly sliced beef. Food came out quickly and had great flavor. The owner came out as well to see how we liked our food. Definitely give this place a chance!

Falafel and Spicy Jerusalem plate

Amazing food.. Great prices. Food tastes authentic. I don't live around around here but decided to give this place a try since i like middle eastern food. I will be coming back here soon!

This is one of my go to lunch spots when I am at work. I love their chicken gyro with the white…read moresauce and the spicy red Sriracha-style sauce. The combination of both sauces with the juicy chicken, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and the warm soft gyro pita bread is incredibly delicious. The flavors balance perfectly and make it one of my favorite quick lunches. The price is fairly reasonable compared to similar spots nearby. One gyro is usually enough to fill me up. The atmosphere is relaxed, casual, and clean. The service is friendly and quick.

Growing up in the Bay Area I was exposed to this kind of food via Halal Guys. After moving here I…read moreused to drive by this place every time I went to my fav Asian grocery store. Today I decided I was going to give it a try. I ordered the chicken and lamb rice plate and a chicken shawarma. Please keep in mind I have extreme bias from all the Halal Guys I've eaten in my life. I made an online order through Yelp and it took me about 9 min to get there and my food was sitting on the counter. There were two employees in the back prepping other orders and there was no one at the register. They didn't really acknowledge me for a min or two but they looked really busy. I saw my name on the food tag. So I picked it up and yelled "Hey is it cool if I just get my food" and one dude just looked at me and nodded. So I left. No biggie. Came to Halal Bros chasing the dream of Halal Guys... ended up with a very polite handshake instead of a warm hug. The chicken and lamb over rice? Solid "C+ student" energy. The rice was kind of there for moral support, and the white sauce tried its best, like a dad dancing at a wedding. The hot sauce was less "hot" and felt a bit sour. Now, the shawarma? Low-key the plot twist I didn't expect. Juicy, flavorful, actually made me pause mid-bite like, "Okay Halal Bros, I see you." All in all, it's a decent spot if you're nearby and hungry.

Fresh salad mix with crispy pita bread strips and thick cuts of chicken strips. I asked for my dressing and sauces in the sauce so I can control the amount as I don't like my salad overly dressed or sauced to keep the crispness of the pita chips and salad. Dressing has a nice bit of tang. Garlic sauce was nice and creamy. And of course the spicy sauce always hit with the garlicky creaminess and hint of spice. Everything was nicely seasoned. Service is always great here. We were greeted and seated within seconds of walking in the door. Great place to enjoy delicious food and catch up with friends here since it never gets too loud even when they're busy.

This original location remains my recommended spot for Mediterranean food. Many Mediterranean…read morerestaurants in Fresno County are Armenian-owned, while only a small handful--like this family-run restaurant--specialize in Lebanese cuisine. Lebanese food is widely considered among the best expressions of Mediterranean cooking due to its vibrant use of fresh ingredients, particularly herbs, lemon, garlic, and olive oil, along with a strong emphasis on healthy, plant-based, and grilled dishes. It offers diverse, shareable, and nutrient-dense options such as tabbouleh, hummus, and falafel, making it both flavorful and nutritious. I always enjoy dining at Golden Grill because they exemplify Lebanese cuisine so well. Their dishes highlight fresh herbs like mint and parsley, along with garlic and lemon juice, rather than relying heavily on spices. The result is a light, refreshing, and aromatic flavor profile that feels both vibrant and balanced. The kebabs are excellent. The grilled cubes of beef, chicken, and kafta (ground beef and lamb) skewers are flavorful, tender, and juicy, topped with herbs and grilled to perfection. They carry a subtle smokiness and savory aroma, and the meats are beautifully charred with vibrant color. Their pita and saj sandwiches are also very well done. Each sandwich is warm and carefully assembled, forming a sturdy pocket filled with high-quality ingredients. They combine savory meats (or falafel and vegetables), creamy sauces, and crunchy pickles and onions into a balanced bite. The bread holds generous fillings without collapsing while still being tender enough to bite through easily. The pocket opens cleanly, creating the perfect pouch for the ingredients. For a small restaurant with limited seating that appears to receive many to-go orders, the presentation for dine-in guests is especially thoughtful. The dishes are served on clean white ceramic plates and trays, with the food carefully arranged and portions balanced. It is simple yet elegant and visually appealing. Golden Grill also captures the Lebanese mezze-style dining experience. As someone of Korean heritage, I appreciate this approach, since it is similar to how Korean meals are served with many shared dishes that provide variety in every meal. Some of the shared plates include Lebanese staples like hummus, falafel, tabbouleh, baba ghanouj, and fresh flatbread. Everything here tastes fresh and well-prepared, with distinct textures and aromatic flavors. The signature entrées come with two cold appetizers. The hummus is silky smooth, a velvety blend of garbanzo beans and tahini that almost melts in your mouth. The baba ghanouj is creamy, garlicky, and finished with olive oil. The tabbouleh is bright and balanced with lemon juice, garlic, and a generous drizzle of olive oil that ties together the citrusy and earthy flavors. The restaurant itself is clean, with tables and chairs wiped down quickly after guests leave. Service is friendly, welcoming, and helpful when placing orders. Prices are also reasonable, especially considering many competing Mediterranean restaurants do not place the same emphasis on presentation or on creating a mezze-style dining experience at no additional cost. While some may prefer other Mediterranean cuisines, I personally enjoy the fresh, light, and diverse flavors that Lebanese food offers. Golden Grill's citrus-forward dishes and extensive mezze options make it one of my favorite Mediterranean spots.

We always order our food and pick it up, we haven't eaten it there in the restaurant but i dont see that being a problem if we did decide. We love eating grilled meat Golden Grill never disappoints! We will always come here for our grilled meat, we know its gonna come out just the way we like it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. We have tried this cedar location and the one on Willow and both have wonderful customer service and great food!
