    My visit to the Med was overdue. I'm glad I found a new favorite restaurant in Irvington. I love the interior, their menu has so many items to choose from. The service was attentive and informative. I tried the chicken kebab wrap with fries. It had a lot of meat and the right amount of sauce. It got messy but it was just so good. I got a lot of fries on the side. They did have several items as special for that day as well. I will definitely go back there soon and try other things. So happy they opened in Irvington.

    Athenian Salad with gyro meat

    This is my all time favorite place around Indy for Greek food. The service has always been great, the owner is very nice, and the food is always good and fresh. I usually opt for the Athenian salad and add gyro meat or do the gyro plate dinner that comes with Greek potatoes and the Greek green beans (soaked in a tomato/onion concoction.... SO good). Start with saganaki also (a flaming cheese) that is served with pita bread. You won't regret it. The inside is spacious with plenty of parking behind the building. The inside is very Mediterranean blue to fit the Greek theme. There's also a patio to enjoy if you'd like to also. Overall I highly recommend!! Delicious.

    Our foodie group came to The Med for some Greek/Mediterranean food one Sunday, and we were very impressed with the restaurant. This Greek/Mediterranean restaurant in the heart of Irvington provided a wonderful ambiance and excellent customer service to our foodie group. Located right next to Jockamo's Pizza, The Med is a wonderful location and has a very nice enclosed outdoor patio. We were very impressed with the food, especially the lemon broth soup we each had with our meal. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the Greek name of the soup, but it was wonderful and would definitely recommend getting this soup with your meal. I ordered the falafel sandwich with fries for lunch, and it was extremely fresh and delicious. The falafel sandwich tasted amazing and had the right amount of spices. The fries were prepared perfectly with the right texture. I did get a tiramisu to go for dessert. The tiramisu tasted incredible and had the perfect texture and flavors. The Med is a great neighborhood Greek/Mediterranean restaurant in Irvington that you can call home and visit on a regular basis. The staff are wonderful and the manager is very friendly and welcoming to the customers. I can see myself coming back to The Med the next time I am in Irvington to enjoy some excellent Greek/Mediterranean food because it is just that good and I feel like I am right at home. A great place to eat and wonderful customer service is what makes The Med very special. Come check it out!

    Pastitsio
    Christina S.

    I can't speak for all the other food but the pastitsio was absolutely horrible..looked like it was made last week and was room temperature when it came to the table as were the two sides it came with. I was one of 4 people in the entire restaurant so I don't really understand why the food was cold. It was also bland and just tasted like plain noodles with chunks of meat, felt like it was missing something. Took one bite and couldn't eat anymore. I didn't complain because I decided it was easier to just pay for the food and leave. ETA: I just read a review from a year ago saying the exact same thing about the pastitsio! Sounds like whoever is in charge doesn't care to change things or "learn from the customers" as they so claim in their response.

    Lemon rice soup

    I had the lasagna meal which came with toast points and everything was very delicious. Service was great and wait time wasn't too long at all.

    This is a difficult one. The food was excellent! I had the pesto ravioli: house made ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese topped with homemade pesto sauce and fresh tomatoes They offered a complimentary soup and i ĥad Avgolemono: a creamy chicken broth rice with egg and lemon. Both were delicious! The Key lime pie was good, I wasn't a fan of the whip cream on it. They don't take Venmo or cash app but do accept apple pay. The decor was nice. Lots of blues and circles. (Found out they represent some mythology story about Horace and the evilness to ward of evil spirits... ) The pictures on the wall were nice and some are for sale by a local artist Parking may be a challenge. Only a few spots out front and parking in the back however there are serial business in the strip so parking is limited. Lastly, after I ordered my food and reading through the Yelp information I saw the may Healthcare violations, the most recent one being Nov 2024 that was still unresolved?! Many were hand washing violations. That's really sad to have really good food, a decent looking place and poor hygiene.

    1/2 portion of Moussaka to take home
    Sandy L.

    We hadn't been on for a while, better than ever! The Avgolemono soup was perfect in texture and taste. The moussaka stayed together, the flavors were excellent and blended well. I need to try other dishes but it's so good! Didn't think to get a picture until I packed up the leftovers.

    Saganaki and  Cold Spread Sampler
    Sophia S.

    We came here on a weekend night, we made reservations but it wasn't too busy so I don't think we would need to in the future. The decor was cute and the service was friendly but a little on the slow side which was fine. We ordered smaller items on the menu to try a few things and everything we had was delicious and the portions were big enough that we had leftovers. I'd like to go back and try more of the mains but definitely worth a visit especially if you're in the area.

    Eggplant Roll
    Lynn N.

    The appetizers are great here. The Saganaki and cold dip trio (Tzatziki, Hummus, Spicy Feta) were our favorites. The pita bread was served warm and were a great pairing with the apps. The eggplant roll with a side of Greek potatoes was the perfect pairing for an entree-like dinner. The tiramisu had a good coffee flavor and it was a generous slice, but had a very strong liquor flavor. The interior space is nice. The have an outdoor patio too with fans and shades for a cooler environment. It was a nice option for a summer evening. The employees were friendly and attentive.

    This was my first time trying Turkish coffee, and I absolutely loved it! For other first-time…read morevisitors, I recommend letting the coffee sit for about 30 seconds before taking a sip so the fine grounds can settle to the bottom. Also, don't stir it after it's served, as that will bring the grounds back up into the coffee. Be sure to leave the last sip or two in the cup, since that's where the grounds collect. The coffee itself was excellent, but I would recommend that servers explain these details to first-time customers or at least ask whether they've had Turkish coffee before. A little guidance would make the experience even better for newcomers. We also ordered the hummus as an appetizer, and it was fantastic. The naan was served warm, and the hummus tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. It was the perfect way to start the meal. We also ordered The Bosphorus Special, a mixed grill platter featuring doner, kofte, chicken kebab, beef kebab, Adana kebab, and chicken Adana kebab, served with vegetables and white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and packed with flavor. I'm so glad my significant other and I decided to share this entrée because the portion was very generous, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. While the service could have been a bit more attentive, it did not negatively impact our overall experience. After our food was served, our waitress did not check back to see how everything was or whether we needed anything additional. We also ended up with quite a few leftovers and requested to-go containers. Initially, only one small container was brought to the table, which required two additional follow-ups before we received enough containers for the remaining food. One suggestion I would offer is that, for tables ordering larger meals, it may be helpful for servers to proactively offer to box up leftovers as dishes are cleared. For just two people, our table became overcrowded rather quickly, especially with the generous portions. Since our waitress did not return after the food was served, it made managing the table and leftovers a little challenging. That said, we had a wonderful first experience overall. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous, and we look forward to coming back again in the future.

The pita bread was the warmest, fluffiest, pita I've ever had. Would definitely order it again. I would've liked the baklava to have more honey on it so I'll be sure to ask if ordering it again.

    Went for lunch on a beautiful day in Indy. What a surprise this was. I love Mediterranean food…read moreand this was hands down the best I've ever had. The ambiance is spectacular. The beautiful tile floors and the view of the canal is perfection. Our server was so nice. Excellent customer service. This was my first time there but I was with a local so when the waitress came up she said "Do you wanna start out with hummus & pita?" I figured it would be the ordinary hummus and pita....oh no ma'am. This was pita with marinated meat and the warmest pita on the planet. I enjoyed so much of it I couldn't eat the falafel when it came. I definitely wanna go back cause there's so many things on that menu that I would love to try. Hands-down the best Mediterranean food I've ever had.

I would come back for that alone even to just sit and drink on a cool evening. Drinks were super good. We ordered the dolma, gyro platter, and shawarma platter Only reason I'm withholding a fifth star is I think the food is a bit overpriced for how good it is. It is good, but I've just had better Mediterranean food for less. The portions are big though, so you could share plates! It is worth a visit! We'll probably be back again

The gentleman who helped us out was super friendly and helpful. When I mentioned some of the things I like, he suggested the gyros plate which comes with salad, rice, pita bread, and hummus.

The gyros meat was tender and amazing. For dessert, we had the best baklava ever. Seriously. The layers were perfect. It was sweetened perfectly. It was the first visit by my SO who was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the delicious taste and great service. I wish I lived closer to this place but am glad the great restaurant is still great after all these years.

    When my children inexplicably said that they wanted to try shawarma, I ran, not walked, to Sahara…read moreRestaurant. (Actually, I drove. But you get the picture.) Requesting something other than pizza and burgers is a big deal! I ordered the beef shawarma and the chicken shawarma, just so we could try both. Both looked like a burrito, which is familiar to my kids, so they went with it. We liked the beef, but the chicken shawarma was mind-blowing, and we will definitely be ordering this again. You can get the shawarma by itself or as a meal, which means it comes with fries. I also got the gyro, which comes with sliced beef and lamb, yellow rice, hummus, salad, tzatziki and pita. Because we got our food to go, the pita came separate from everything else, and I had to assemble my gyro myself like a little taco. It was delicious, but so much food! Honestly, the gyro plate can feed two people easily. Because I can't pass up a baba ganoush, I ordered a small one. They have some excellent baba ganoush at Sahara! I think this might even be my baba ganoush go-to now. Ordering online is very easy, and my food was ready to be picked up even before it was supposed to be. The only thing is that Sahara is located on the Broad Ripple strip, so parking can be iffy. I didn't find any parking in front of the restaurant, so I had to circle the block a bit before I found a spot.
