    Gyro wrap with potatoes and pickled turnip
    Mark M.

    Came by again today, don't often get a hankering for real Persian food, but when I do this place fills the bill. All their items look very good, I always get the gyro wrap, with a side of their potatoes and it comes with pickled turnip. This place is inside a liquor store, yet they have dining both inside or on a side patio.

    Wonder and Friendly atmosphere and service. The wrap has so much flavor that you don't need the sauce. I'm not sure why the fries are called spicy. They do have a kick and are delicious.

    Although the restaurant was in a liquor store, the store did have so many non alcoholic beverages to choose from. Food was great! Very flavorful. I'd definitely come back!

    I really have been giving this place a shot bcs it's so close to me, I always pick up my orders and cashiers are always great! The other day I was craving some fries with garlic (spicy potatoes on menu) and a fattoush salad. I understand the potatoes are freshly cut and all that but when I got home I realized $8.99 for a SMALL order fries is outrageous!!! I opted out of the spicy sauce, green jalapeño, too spicy for me, I like garlic with my fries so I got alil side of garlic paste. And I asked the cashier if the fattoush came with pita chips and they said no, which I recall different. Took my food home and yeah I looked online fattoush should come with pita chips. Anyway, fries were good but not $8.99 worth...

    This is restaurant number 10 in my Bixby Knolls food tour. My son recommended this restaurant to me as I really enjoy Mediterranean food. Most of the food was delicious. The man who took my order is named Justin. He was very patient while I looked over the menu. Salmon kebab plate- A+. It comes with rice, hummus, and a small, delicious salad. The salmon was perfectly prepared. There is squash and onion on the kebab as well. The rice was fantastic. They have a sampler of rice at the counter. The salad that accompanied the platter was really good. Fresh and had some tasty feta cheese on it. Baba ghanoush- A. Full of flavor and just the right consistency. Chicken Shawarma platter- B. I meant to order a chicken Shawarma wrap, but got the platter instead apparently. I didn't try it. It fell apart. The spicy potatoes that came with it were undercooked and nothing to write home about. Beef kafta- A+. I ordered just a single kafta because I tend to rate Mediterranean restaurants based on their kafta preparation. Theirs was flavorful, not dry, and the spices really came through. The only thing that was a disappointment was the bread. C-. It was too thin and very hard. You could barely fold it in half to scoop up the baba ghanoush or hummus. Many reviews mentioned their green sauce. It is quite tasty and goes well with many of their dishes. The service was good, I had an IPA while I waited. They have tables inside and a covered patio outside with several tables. You can only drink alcohol out on the patio. My food was prepared, fairly quickly, long enough for me to enjoy the patio and my beer. I found it to be interesting that the restaurant is at the back of a liquor store. Brilliant idea.

    I had a very nice lunch here with my mom. Went in Thursday afternoon. The cashier was very nice and he was patient with me ordering. I ordered the beef plate plus two chicken skewers my mom ordered the salmon plate and two shrimp skewers. It's was way too much food but everything was really good. The place is very small inside of the liquor store so it works well for takeout!

    Mix plate kofta
    Lynn S.

    This used to be my favorite local spot for Middle Eastern food, but as of recent their food has been terrible. Last time my mix plate kofta, chicken and beef was too dry . This time their kofta, chicken and beef was horribly it doesn't taste good, the beef undercooked it felt like I was chewing on hard gum, I couldn't eat it. Idk if they got a new cook or changed the recipe, or their standards have changed, but I'm done eating here. I didn't even finish or eat a majority of it and it gave me an instant stomach ache & horrible gas. Don't recommend.

    It's all about the food the ambiance and vibe. I have eaten here for many years the restaurant is setup and located inside the liquor store in back of the store they only have a two sets of two person seating tables it's clean the staff are chill always nice and ordering is easy low key just order take it home is what most people do. Chicken Kebabs Grilled perfectly and seasoned well it comes with rice a small salad and hummus and pita it's very good and that salad dressing is the bomb I'd suggest you buy an extra one and eat it with the chicken this meal was a 8/10 it was so good I ate all of the salad and had a lot of rice and chicken leftover. Hummus delicious but the pita bread is mid and not homemade it will do but I prefer it made fresh. 7/10 Strawberry cheesecake Delicious very buttery crust and soo good. Side salad I ordered a larger one to go and bought an extra salad dressing that was divine it's a yogurt based garlicky sauce and I love it. Green sauce For dipping the chicken in this one is tasty. Tsaziki sauce Creamy garlicky and soo bomb I always buy extra. I definitely recommend that you give them a try there's so much more on that menu grilled salmon beef kebabs falafel gyros and more. Just me Shawn C. ; )

    Wowwwww, what an amazing place to stop by for lunch. The food is made with lots of flavor and cooked to perfection. The service and cleanliness is excellent. It's small and roomy with a good amount of seating available. I would recommend to order ahead due to the lunch hour rush. Will definitely return for more delicious food.

The QR code was for a Free Entree w/ purchase once the restaurant opens. Not one to pass up free food, I made sure to use my phone to scan & sign up. Once open, I was ready to check out Mendocino Farms for the first time. The menu at Mendocino Farms consists primarily of sandwiches, salads & soup. After a quick perusal, I thought the Peruvian Steak sandwich best whet my appetite. Peruvian Steak sandwich- Spicy aji amarillo marinated steak with Oaxacan cheese, herb aioli, red onions, tomatoes, shredded romaine on a toasted potato roll. I quite liked this. Tender steak, with fatty cheese. The vegetables provided contrast & texture. For my purchase, I went with a side of Southern Potato Salad. It was good, but similar to grocery deli potato salad. In hindsight, I should've purchased avocado added to my Peruvian Steak sandwich. Service was excellent. All hands were on deck, as Mendocino Farms opened only a few days prior. Each employee had a name badge, specifying their name & which entree was their favorite, helping indecisive customers choose what to get. Plenty of seating indoors & al fresco. Parking is at LBX, with Mendocino Farms being across Georgia's and facing the Hangar at LBX. I found the Peruvian Steak sandwich delicious, yet meager in quantity, considering the regular price. It's more of a substantial snack, than a full meal, in my case. However, it's great to have another quality food option in the area, and I look forward to coming back & exploring the rest of menu.

Overall, it was solid--sauce had good flavor, cheese was decent, and the dough was nice. Nothing mind-blowing, but definitely a respectable slice. My only issue was the balance--there was a bit too much cheese for the crust, so even folding it New York-style, it didn't hold up well and kind of fell apart. A little more crisp on the bottom would've made a big difference. I also tried their Sicilian grandma-style focaccia pizza, and honestly, that was a huge letdown. It had this dusty, raw flour taste right away, was dry and spongy, and way overpowered with Parmesan. It just didn't come together at all--pretty disappointing, especially for the price. I've had frozen pizza that tasted better. Ended up just picking at the cheese to salvage something. On the plus side, the service was friendly and the space itself is chill--nice casual vibe with a few tables inside and outside to hang out. All in all, the regular slice was decent, but the focaccia pizza really missed the mark for me. Probably not a spot I'd go back to.

You're able to see in my attached photo just how thick and dense it looks. The salmon bowl itself was pretty refreshing. I think the dresssingggg was perfectly tailored to the bowl.

Cranberry gave it that nice kick of tang on your tongue. Service was friendly, I ordered through the kiosk screen. It's clean inside and in the restroom as well. Plenty of parking in the plaza.
