    Beef and Chicken Combo Plate
    Zephaniah E.

    The best Mediterranean food in Rancho! When I first came in- they offered me samples of the different meats and walked me through the menu. Excellent customer service here! Food is delicious, portions are huge, and prices are great. I come in for the Beef Shawarma wrap soo often. Love this place!

    Chicken Shawerma

    Found this place on a work trip after a long day and it was perfect! It was really quick and the staff was incredibly friendly. Since it was my first time in, they slowed down and explained the menu to me. I went with the chicken shawarma with hummus and cucumber yogurt as my sides. All of it was so good! It came with a giant pita and lots of rice too, perfect after a long day. They had a lot of TVs inside too which was nice so I could watch the World Cup game. Overall, a great experience, especially since it was quick and easy and food was great. I'll be back next time I'm in town!

    Baklava
    Courtney M.

    The food was pretty good, the garlic sauce was great. The baklava was delicious. They had a limited types of drinks which I wasn't the biggest fan of. Our bill ended up being roughly around $70. When you spend that kind of money, you don't expect your food to come out in take out containers. I was not a fan of that at all. It's restaurant prices but cafeteria type dining. But for the prices, your food should be delivered on a plate. Again, the food was pretty good. It wasn't anything amazing. I was not wowed by wow kebab. But I did think it was decent and overpriced. You walk in order your food get your drink sit down at a table when they call your number you pick up your food. It's like an In-N-Out but with restaurant prices. The inside was clean, very basic very much like a cafeteria in college. If I'm going to pay restaurant prices, I want restaurant services. Happy dining.

    Eat food here. Show up with some money, eat their food, and leave happy. I drove a little farther because of the reviews and I was not at all disappointed! The chicken shawerma is delicious, the hummus is solid, the rice hits the spot, and the red cabbage is SO good. Their tahini sauce is also a winner! This is the type of business that should thrive. Eat here.

    The flavor was good and meat was tender but only a couple were cooked all the way through, the others were rare and not able to eat. The rice, hummus, and beet salad is good.

    Caught up with an old friend here, since we both love Mediterranean food. Everything tasted so good! He had a combo plate, which for some reason took somewhat long to be ready (around 15 minutes), considering it was relatively empty when we came. But it was so worth it, since everything was fresh and high quality! I got the entree, where the chicken shawarma was so tender and well-seasoned. The garlic sauce was so addicting, as it was extremely flavorful! Portion sizes were extremely generous! There was an abundance of rice and protein, and both the combo and entree came with some choices of sides! The waitress was friendly and kind. She checked on us multiple times, updated us on the wait for my friend's order, and even took a photo for us ensuring she took multiple shots and different angles The restaurant is quiet, cozy, and calm! Plenty of seating, with the chairs being very comfortable even for extended periods of time as we stayed kind of long Will definitely be back!

    Passed by this place randomly and I was hungry so had to try. Place looks nice and clean and fairly roomy with good traffic of customers. Everyone that works here were great, but Angie is one of the kindest employees I've meet. This young lady cared to help answer my questions and had patience to listen even though there was a line and it was becoming busy with mobile/pick up orders. You never would have known how busy she was if you just noticed her pleasant demeanor and how capable she handled everything. I ordered the combination plate with chicken, shrimp, and beef with hummus and Mediterranean salad. It was soo very good and hit the spot. The shrimp was my favorite part. I don't know what sauce they used but I liked it a lot. Not a thing to complain about here. The price is about 30 dollars so it's not cheap but I believe you very much get what you paid for. Definitely recommend.

    Stopped in RC on the way back from trip to Vegas. This place actually made me say wow. I expected a pretty standard shawarma place and everything I got to try was excellent, even down to the garlic sauce. Both the chicken and beef were nicely seasoned and delicious, the rice paired well with the mountain of protein on top. You get to pick 2 side for each plate and tried the mutabal, hummus, tabouli salad and beet salad. Each item was fresh and bright with flavor. I'm huge fan of mutabal and will try it anytime it's on the menu, this place did not disappoint. Service was also excellent, the cashier, stopped by to ask how the food was, even gave my son a free kids juice, and helped my wife pick up her backpack she dropped on the floor. This place really cares about every aspect of the experience. Inside is clean as well. Overall this may have been one of the best meals and places I tried in the last few months. Will definitely be back if I'm in RC.

    Just WOW! This place is pure excellence, visited this place because it was recommended by a friend and everything was so fresh, flavorful and delicious I seriously did not want to stop eating it. I ordered a mix Kabob plate, enough to share for 2 and 2 sides of garlic. I am so excited to go back and try the Shwarma Bites and more of the salads. The place also gets pretty busy so give yourself some time if you order in person. The star of the plate had to be the rice, it was melting in my mouth and it's easily addicting. I would 10/10 recommendation.

    Bright and inviting restaurant. Found the restaurant through Yelp and I've had it on my list for one of those days where I'm super hungry. The day of super hunger finally came and it was time to try this place. A few things I didn't like. I called to place an order. I was told to hold. I held and 30 seconds later, I was disconnected. Second, the prices in the store were all a dollar more than the online menu showed. Last, they charged an almost $2 charge for using a credit card and I did not see a notice and was not informed this would be the case. With that aside, what did I like? I liked the customer service once in the restaurant. I liked that the bag was super heavy when I picked up our food. I liked that they gave a lot of food. I enjoyed the variety and that I could get a mix the way I wanted to. I liked that the food tasted good. My husband and I both enjoyed our meals and said we'd be back.

    3 Combination Plate - Beef, chicken, & shrimp. Comes w basmati rice, 2 sides - cabbage slaw & hummus w a side of pita bread & garlic sauce.
    Katrina N.

    First time trying this place. Decided to get pick up from here since I've been wanting to try this place out and I was in the area. I saw they had a combination which included 2 or 3 skewers and it comes with basmati rice, your choice of 2 sides, pita bread, and your choice of garlic or tahini sauce. I got the 3 skewers combo plate with chicken, beef, and shrimp. I had my food to go. Once I got home, upon first glance, the plate was very full! They gave a good amount of portion and you definitely get your moneys worth. The price is fair for what you get. The chicken was nice and tender. Very full of flavor. The beef was chewy and gummy, making it hard to bite. The shrimp... whatever sauce was on top, delicious! The hummus was good. It had a strong peanut taste to it, maybe from the tahini. I did not care for the cabbage slaw. First off, it is full of carrots and not cabbage. Then the taste was very sour. I've had cabbage slaw from other(Mediterranean) places and it did not taste like this. The pita I received was very chewy. It did looked warmed up /toasted a little on one side but the other side was pale. The garlic's sauce pairs well with the proteins. I really enjoyed it with the chicken. The basmati rice was delicious. It had great color and a slight crunch to it. The service here is good. The lady taking my order was nice and helpful. The ambiance of the restaurant is chill. There are seating available if you want to enjoy your food there. There's a TV for entertainment purposes. I would definitely come back to try their other food items as they have a wide variety to choose from.

    Beef and Mushroom combo plate with red cabbage salad and potato salad. Don't even forget the garlic sauce!
    Kristel Faye T.

    Our go to for Mediterranean these days. I always get the mushroom kabab (and the beef kabab when I'm really hungry) combo. All their cold sides are delicious. My faves are: potato salad, beet salad, and the red cabbage. My hubs always gets their lamb kabab (and chicken when he's really hungry) with their Mediterranean salad, hummus, or cucumber yogurt. I can't wait to go back and try their tabouleh and mutabal. Also, the space is always clean. Their water is like the coldest in town - like I'm not sure how...but it's so crisp! The service is always friendly - even when they're busy, they'll answer all your questions and not rush you.

    This is one of the best authentic shawarmas in SoCal - on par with what you'd find in the Middle East. Clean place and friendly staff.

    Is the food halal?

    Yes, everything we serve is Halal. We only work with certified Halal meat supplier (Rolling ranch halal foods)

    Quick question: is this authentic Arabic food? I ask because there are places who claim to be "Mediterranean" but in reality they are Europeans larping as Palestinians and are using the word Mediterranean to hide the fact.

    It's 100% Palestinian and top it off they make the shawirma Palestinian style no lettuce or nonsense! I drive from riverside to this place for the shawirma

    I finally stopped by Mezzaterranean and went straight for the Trio Plate, and it did not…read moredisappoint. If you're looking for the definitive Lebanese experience in the IE, this is the order to beat. The Breakdown: * The Trio Grill: You get a sampling of everything--chicken, beef, and kefta kebabs. The chicken kebab was the standout for me; it was incredibly tender and had that perfect open-flame char that you just can't replicate at home. * Baba Ghanoush: This was a smoky revelation. You can taste the fire-roasted eggplant in every bite, and the texture was perfectly whipped and creamy without losing its soul. It's easily some of the best in the area. * Tabouleh: So many places use too much bulgur, but Mezzaterranean does it right. It was a bright, herbaceous explosion of fresh parsley and lemon that cut through the richness of the grilled meats perfectly. * The Extras: It all comes together with their fluffy rice and warm pita. Pro tip: use the pita to make little "mini-tacos" with a piece of chicken, a dollop of baba ghannouj, and a pinch of tabouleh. The Verdict: The portions on the Trio Plate are massive (definitely enough to share, though you might not want to). Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and authentic. It's clear this family-run spot puts a lot of heart into their recipes. 10/10, will be back for more of that garlic sauce!

    The food was good overall, although the salad wasn't quite what I expected. The decor is nice and…read morethe atmosphere is pleasant. It's a small restaurant that could benefit from a more exposure. I'd definitely come back and try other dishes and the and and who doesn't enjoy good service.

We came to eat here for the first time, because I was craving Mediterranean food. We were going to go to Risen, (also a hidden gem) since it's down the street from us, but a little further than what we wanted to drive, because we were starving. We walked in, and there were no customers inside, you could probably hear a pin drop if it weren't for music playing. Customer service was really good, given that we were the only ones there, however, the attentiveness from our waiter/server did not fall short. Our waiter made a great recommendation for the Eden's fusion mix grill, and it was amazing to say the least! It's very filling, and the steak is cooked to your liking. The chicken was tender, and juicy, and the kefta was amazing too! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try something different, especially, if you've never had Mediterranean. This place deserves recognition, and it deserves to be packed outside the doors. I hope that my review reaches locals and non locals alike! Trust me you won't be disappointed! I hope you guys try this place out, and that my review is convincing enough to come find this little gem!

I was warmly greeted by a lovely lady who seemed to be both the manager and the waitress. The restaurant has a vintage style; it's set in an old building, giving it a vibe, but honestly, it looked a bit worn down and didn't seem that clean especially the restroom, which also didn't appear very sanitary. For food, I tried the sujuk appetizer: a spicy sausage with sautéed veggies. Unfortunately, it wasn't like what I've had before; something about the taste was off, and I didn't enjoy it. I also ordered the mixed grill plate, which came with three portions: chicken, ground beef, and steak. The steak was actually quite good, and I really enjoyed that, but the chicken didn't taste like a young, fresh chicken; it was like one of those big, hormone-fed birds. The rice was not fresh and it was a warm up from the day before. Overall, I didn't really like the food quality and didn't feel like it matched the price at all. On the plus side, the service was really nice; that lady was very kind and genuine. One odd thing was that there was nothing on the table; no salt, pepper, napkins, or sauces. you have to ask for everything. And since the railroad is so close, you occasionally hear a loud train passing by. All in all, despite the warm service, I probably won't be coming back.
