Delightful. Chana Masala quite nice. But the saag with shrimp? Unbelievable. Harleen and Ranjit (I hope I got the husband's name right!) run an excellent restaurant. Top notch service and food. Go.

We went in without knowing what to expect, but the service and the excellent food spoke for itself! Being a lover of Indian food, I've tried countless places over the years--but this one truly stands out. Every dish we ordered was packed with authentic flavor, clearly made with fresh ingredients and a lot of care. The spices were perfectly balanced--fragrant without being overpowering--and the heat level was just right. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive without being intrusive, and they gladly offered recommendations based on our preferences. The ambiance may be simple, but it creates a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger over your meal. Highlights for us included the kasha I chicken (forgot the exact name) which was rich and creamy with just the right tang, and the tandoori platter, which was smoky, tender, and perfectly charred. This place is a hidden gem and a must-visit for anyone craving honest, delicious Indian cuisine. We'll definitely be back--and next time, we're bringing friends.

The papdi chat was good so it looked promising but the malai kofta was too sweet and the chicken biriyani was very bland. Service was a bit slow but I guess it was that kind of night.

I love when this happens…read more With no agenda, we ended up in West Chester PA (vs Westchester NY.) A cute town with an inordinate number of restaurants, we peered into windows and read menus. "The Mediterranean Restaurant" sparked interest. Infusing Lebanese and Italian cuisines, they garnered great reviews. Also BYOB. After running to Carlinos for a bottle of red, we took our chances at Mediterranean without a reservation. (Do indeed make one if you come for dinner.) I chatted with the couple across from us. "This is the best restaurant in West Chester," the fellow said. They live here and have been to them all. We started with what's called a Maza Platter: customer's choice of four appetizers. I selected feta & olives, tabouli, hummus and baba ghanoush. Delish!! (Unlike my husband, I wasn't a fan of feta, but this feta was infinitely better than anything I've had before.) The spreads are made inhouse. The cheese isn't. T raved about the lamb kabob, which was likely grilled. I in turn recommend their falafel encrusted chicken. Chef isn't afraid to spice things up and everything was noticeably fresh. Even the sides were stand-out. The aforementioned couple recommended Mediteranean's apple pie for dessert, a seemingly odd choice. They said it's baked in the restaurant's adjoining bakery. Since they ran out of ice cream -- what's pie if it's not a la mode?! -- T and I shared baklava. Two thumbs up. Homemade, not saturated in syrup. I'd like to give a shoutout to Jason, our delightful and efficient server. He does the restaurant proud. Note that Mediterranean has been in West Chester for 29 years. (That's a virtual lifetime in the restaurant world!) Prices we thought reasonable, and portions generous.

The pitas are cold and tasted worse than what you can get at Giant. Sautéed mushrooms are flavorless and in a mushroom water. Meat pie tasted like unseasoned, old meat with tomatoes. The entrees weren't any better. Ran out of beef. Not sure how one does that on a day with like 3 tables. Tried the special soup, which we sent back. The bolognese was gross. Tasted sort of like Chef Boyardee, but worse. The had to argue with the "chef" to even take it off the tab. She suggested we'd be better off eating at home. We agree. McDonald's would have been a step up. It seems like they just don't have any spices or salt in that kitchen. Plus the servers would just disappear for ages. It appeared that this was our server's first job in food service. Service was rather slow. And hour in, no entrées. It's in an hold house, which was cute. Most tables are upstairs. If you want Mediterranean food, you'd be better off cooking something from the Betty Crocker cookbook.

We came in on a Sunday around 2 PM, and there were only one or two other tables in the restaurant. The menu is expansive, it was difficult to decide what to get! I settled on Ramen, and my friend had some pork buns, and a sushi roll. The Ramen was decently good, nothing I would seek out again. My friend liked the pork buns, but said the roll was just all right. The atmosphere here is larger inside than I expected, with nicer decor than I expected in a strip mall like this. Upfront there appears to be an ordering table where you can pick up to go items, order a drink, etc. This place was fine for grabbing a bite to eat, nothing I would seek out again personally.

I am very, VERY sensitive to spice so I ordered mine to be prepared "Kid's Mild" and my husband got "Mild" Although the food was otherwise wonderful the spice level was OVER THE TOP! I was so hungry and did my best but was literally unable to eat it. After two fork fulls I was suffering with the burning of my mouth and tongue. I couldn't get it to stop. No amount of bread or rice would help. My husband was in pretty bad shape with his which was even spicier. I don't know what you happen if you ordered it spicy. A child could not eat this! $62 later and I'm eating applesauce as dinner and even that feels like it's burning. Maybe just be careful about insisting on how spicy they make it.
