What's not to love about Uptowne Mediterranean Restaurant?! Great food and excellent service at reasonable prices, it's a winning combination! I love their chicken shawarma platter with fluffy rice, but it's the incredible toum that's the star in my opinion! So garlicky and right amount of salt that it elevates the dish to the next level! This is a family owned and operated business, and they treat you like you're a part of their family too! If you want to eat delicious food and feel truly welcomed and appreciated, then definitely come here. Hurry and run, it's so worth it!! read more

This place really fell short for me. I was very excited to try, but I was left unsatisfied. The food is okay, the rice & meat lack flavor, and the amount of rice you get versus meat is obscured.... we paid $60 for two platters and fries. The fries were soggy and from frozen. The pita was paper thin and flavorless. I really really wanted to like this place, they seem to care about their food but I just can't get over how much flavor was lacking - I had to add my own hot sauce to save the meal. The inside of the restaurant desperately needs a revamp. The service was excellent and quick. I will not be back, there was no stand out and it was way too expensive for both the quality and quantity of food. read more

I wanted to love this place but it fell short for me. I grew up eating middle eastern food so I have a good pallet when it comes to this type of food. This place is in a plaza with plenty of parking. Inside there was plenty of seating. We grabbed a menu and sat ourselves. The workers came out and took our order. I noticed the shawarma looked as if it was half gone yet they had just opened so it must have been from the previous day so we skipped that. The prices seemed quite expensive for what you get. I chose to get hummus instead of rice. I got 1 long kofta, with salad and hummus for $20. My friend got 1 long spicy lamb with rice and salad $20. Seems like a lot for a small amount of food. The hummus is creamy and ok but had a sweetness to it. The kofta was ok. Very cinnamon forward. The salad was very good. My friend said her meat was very spicy, the Greek salad seemed a bit old and the rice was ok. I didn't try enough to say never go but I personally would rather go down the road and eat at a different place. read more

​I came here for a quick lunch; I left with a week's supply of Falafel Platter and breath that could repel a small army. ​The food is incredibly fresh. The Yogurt and Cucumber is so potent, no vampire is crossing the Shrewsbury town line tonight. Fantastic quality, massive portions, and enough flavor to make you question every other meal you've ever eaten. ​Go now, but text your dentist first. read more

Schwarma is legit, almost nobody does it like this, with an authentic rotisserie. Last time I had schwarma this good I was in Turkey. Both beef and chicken are superb. Family run, great vibes from the staff. Highly recommend!! read more

Been going here for yeaaaars (maybe 8-9 years now??) and its always so good. Their kabobs and burgers are so good. The owners are super friendly as well and are always so kind. They clearly love what they do and the food comes out tasting homely in the best of ways. read more

Food is amazing!!! Their falafel plate is great, lots of fresh vegetables to mix with it so it isn't dry at all. I had the beef shawarma wrap and it was very flavorful. Can't wait to go back here again! read more

What a gem. My daughter and I had an excellent lunch here. The staff are friendly and eager to serve. I couldn't go to a place like this and not try the Hummus, and I'm pleased to report it is excellent. Perfect creamy consistency, the right touches of spice and olive oil. The soup of the day was Lentil and I am glad I ordered it. Came piping hot - and the little crock they serve it in keeps it that way for a long time. It was very well seasoned and very filling. I can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu. read more

We had the falafel wrap, cauliflower wrap and for dessert we tried the baklava. The falafel wrap was very tasty and perfectly flavored. However, the cauliflower wrap was bitter and a little bland. Good "diner" vibes, staff were friendly and hospitality was great. Good takeout/week night dinner place. read more

Ordered food today and completely disappointed, platter had only chopped meat, no vegetables, no side, nothing. Definitely was not as on the picture. Never again. read more

Incredible! The food is fresh, flavorful, and delicious every time. The service is excellent. This is pure comfort food and healthy at the same time. The saddest part of eating this food is when it's almost all gone. I wish this family so much success. read more

Great service. But my falafel was burned. Tasty but very crunchy. And they put so much salad dressing on my salad it was soggy. My friends said the same about their salads. read more

Tip for takeout orders: call in the order. If you order online, they won't start your meal until you arrive (more details under service) Food: One of my favorite places for takeout. My girlfriend and I usually share a shawarma combo platter, baba ganoush, and some sort of appetizer (last time around we got the Mazzeh platter) with extra bread for dipping (crucial since the bread you get isn't enough). All of the food was delicious as always! Beware, however, the garlic sauce that comes with the shawarma platter and the baba ganoush are VERY garlicky. I mean, your breath will smell until the next morning. If you don't like that, I would steer clear of those dipping sauces. Ambiance: A lot of dine-in customers appear to be regulars and it's a place to go for a familiar meal; not a place for dates. Service: My only issue with this place is the takeout service. They take orders over the phone and online. I prefer to order online, but they NEVER have my order ready in time. They don't seem to have a way of checking for new online orders and always seem surprised when I come in, which means they don't even start my meal until I arrive. I intentionally arrived 15-min after the ETA and they still didn't start the order until I showed up. It's good that their food is good, but can be frustrating for anyone on a tight schedule. read more

Great food, large portions and very friendly staff. The service was good and our food came out pretty quickly. The overall ambience was nice. There's plenty of parking too. read more

Came to pick up dinner on a very busy Saturday night. Service wasn't amazing, but we can't complain either. We ordered some veg dolma, a chicken shawarma platter, and a lamb kebab platter with a Mediterranean salad. Everything besides the dolma was delicious, as they were a bit tough and the rice (?) did not seem not fully cooked. Aside from that, it was all delicious. The salad was surprisingly one of my favourite parts of the meal! I will definitely return just for the salad with some chicken shawarma. Can't wait to try the rest! read more

Love this place! If you want one of their best, it's the chicken shawarma wrap! So so yummy. They also have the best fries I've had in a long time. Perfectly battered and always crispy. Stop in and get some food, whether it's for a sit down meal, or to go! The pricing is also spot on. read more

Food was really good - to the point I felt like this was as good as the food eaten in Greece. Great service and nice atmosphere. Had the shawarma combo, chicken/beef over rice. Super fresh 5 stars. read more

I loved my food so much. I ordered the grape leaves plate. It came with a salad, rice, pita bread and garlic dip. I opted out of the garlic and got tzatziki and holy smokes, it was DELICIOUS. The grape leaves could have been stuffed inside more but other than that, this was an overall great meal for cheap (around $10?!). The employees (assuming they were the owners) were super friendly as well. I'd come back here in a heartbeat! read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner with the family tonight. They seemed to be doing a big takeout business, and we waited about 25 minutes for our food, but it was worth the wait. The spicy chicken kabob platter is really good. The Greek salad was a nice compliment to the spice, but it was dressed heavily (just FYI if you don't like it that way). My wife liked the falafel wrap and my son like the ground lamb kabob wrap. -- This was my second visit here - the first time (dining in) I really enjoyed the spicy chicken kabob and kafta kabobs served with rice and salad. While those were delicious, today I decided to try the shawarma for lunch takeout. I wanted the chicken, but it was clear they were running low as the spit was nearly empty. I offered to try the beef if they didn't have enough chicken - they ended up charging me $3 more for a combo which was kind of annoying as I wanted the chicken but was just trying to be accommodating. Both were pretty dry - I was there early for lunch on Tuesday, and I learned they were closed on Monday for the holiday, so the spits were obviously left from Sunday which might explain why they were disappointing. It was also a lot of rice with just a slice of tomato. I'll return, but will definitely stick to the kabobs with rice AND salad, rather than the shawarma. I do like their tahini. The garlic sauce, while tasty, appears to be heavy mayonnaise and not yogurt. read more

Simply delicious! Best Shawarma Combo with Rice ever! No joke, the food is fresh, tasty as heck, and the chicken kabob my wife had was well seasoned, properly grilled, and oh so juicy! Chicken never tasted so good. The white sauces for the chicken and beef shawarma come on the side, but you'll want to just dump 'em all in and mix it in with the rice and meats, because they are awesome! Also shared a falafel wrap which was divine! I couldn't stop gushing about this place, the staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the flavor is truly authentic. I'm seriously considering moving to the area just to be closer! read more
