When a friend recommended Mandi Express for excellent Yemeni food, I was excited, and I was also…read morecurious. Could it compete with the Yemeni restaurant that I loved when I lived in Amman, Jordan? Well, yesterday was my first time dining here, and so far, Mandi Express answered that question affirmatively: yes. Cuisine: 5/5. I love the homemade Mexican rice that I grew up eating. Full stop. That said, what I tasted yesterday shifted my entire paradigm for what I expect in rice. Rich with impeccable flavor, the rice that came with the Koobideh plate was nothing short of perfection. I've had plenty of rice in different zip codes and time zones, but this rice was a straight up blessing in the fullest sense of the word. Ambiance: 5/5. In my experience, some of the best food is found in unassuming locations. Strip mall in downtown RIV, relaxed level of sketch, AND zero pretension here! Let the basic foos who care about ambiance eat at Fleming's or one of the restaurants at the Mission Inn. Service: 5/5. Warm and friendly. I'll return when I'm back in the RIV. Mucho respeto y shukran ya Mandi Express. Buen provecho.

I always love when restaurants give you the option to make your own custom bowl, so when I saw that…read moreit was offered here, I immediately had to try it! I ended up going with the Chicken Kabob Bowl, with half rice and half lettuce, plus green onions, green pickles, parsley, garlic sauce, and buffalo sauce. Personally, I did feel like there wasn't quite enough variety to choose from :/ But even then, with what I was able to choose, I still really enjoyed my bowl. It was a little spicy because of the buffalo sauce, but my spice tolerance isn't the strongest, so that's on me haha. It was also nice getting to try pickles on something other than a sandwich lol. Overall, I enjoyed both the bowl itself and how quickly they were able to make it. I could definitely still see myself coming back again.

I tried the falafel at the mediterranean place which was ok. The sandwich was a little soggy and…read morebland, but the side of hot sauce helped add some flavor. My falafel wasn't fully cooked the first time I came. My friends got the beef gyro bowls and enjoyed that. They thought it was a great option! The staff is really friendly but the service is pretty slow. I'll probably skip out on this place next time for the falafel, but if you eat meat, worth trying.

Haven't been to this place in years but I really wanted some Mediterranean food and it's the…read moreclosest to where I work. After eating this meal I was reminded why I don't come here. Let's break it down: -Staff is friendly and helpful but service is slow - Food is just ok and is pricey for what you get - A gyro, fries and a water was almost $20! - They do have plenty of seating inside and the interior is basic and relatively clean. They give you a tiny container of tzatziki on the side for your gyro which does nothing for the gyro. There is no additional sauce other than that small side they give you. It's pretty dry and needs more. They do give you a nice amount of meat but the taste is mediocre at best. The fries are good and were freshly made. If I'm paying $20 for this meal, I expect more in terms of quality and taste.

Always a great experience at The Palm Tree! This time, I…read moreordered the chicken cube kebab and dolmas, and both were delicious. The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, and the dolmas were fresh and really tasty. Everything tasted well-seasoned and freshly prepared. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

Don't let that fool you, the food was good and big portioned. I got the beef and chicken combo and it had hella flavor I also got the kanefeh and it was good as well.

Tried Georgie's Mediterranean in Riverside and it definitely delivered…read more I got a chicken shawarma bowl with fries as the base, and also a plate with both chicken and beef shawarma. The bowl was really good using fries instead of rice honestly made it hit way harder. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and everything on top tied together really well without feeling too heavy. The combo plate was just as solid. The chicken was tender, the beef had a nice char and flavor, and both tasted fresh. Portions were generous too--definitely didn't feel like they were skimping. Everything tasted authentic and well-made, not dry or bland like some Mediterranean spots can be. Sauces brought it all together without overpowering the meat. Service was quick and the spot has a casual, no-frills vibe--just good food that comes out fast. Overall, really solid Mediterranean spot in Riverside. Good portions, good flavor, and worth coming back to.

We were feeling Mediterranean and decided to try out a new place…read more First off the service and delivery were great. The food arrived on time, the order was correct, and it came all the way from Riverside. I'm not sure on the ambiance because I had the food delivered. As for the food, i opted for the combo plate. It came with 3 pieces of steak, chicken, and 1 Kefta kabob, rice, 2 sides, and pita bread. They have a lot of sides to choose from but I don't like that there's an up charge to substitute salad for rice so I got the rice. I love that they allow you to select how you want your beef cooked. I ordered Medium and it was cooked perfectly. The kefta kabob was well seasoned and packed full of Mediterranean spices (delicious). The chicken was full of flavor, cooked all the way through and tender. The rice was full of flavor. I've never had Mediterranean food with rice like this. You may or may not like it. I enjoyed the extra flavor than just having white rice. The tabbouleh was fresh and gave my meal some brightness. The pita bread was a disappointment for me. You could tell it's store bought or not freshly made. You can taste the flour or starch on it. It was dry and not good. It reminded me of the Pita bread in the bakery section of food4less. The other disappointing element to my meal was the cucumber yogurt (tzatziki) I don't like that the cucumber was cubed and it was watery. It lacked that cucumber flavor and it appeared to be prepared watered down intentionally. It was even lacking that tart yogurt taste because it was so thinned out. Overall, it was still a fairly good meal. I would suggest making or buying better pita bread. I would be willing to try it again because the meat was delicious and I'd get hummus instead of the cucumber yogurt.

Finally tried this place out! Can't believe this is the only one in the area. We came on a…read moreWednesday afternoon around 3:30pm and it was dead inside. Typically we see this place is packed during the school year. I'm glad it wasn't busy because service was quick. The service was great. After everything we ordered we had a coupon for a few extras like a free drink & fries. The bbq sauce that we got with the fries was super good to dip in. I haven't had a gyro is YEARS! The beef was the way to go! My husband got the plate and he agreed. The cheesecake was a hit as well. If you are interested in getting a drink, I would suggest one of mango citrus refresher. That was right up my alley! We'll definitely be back soon!

I'd come back here again!!…read more I saw this food truck at the Arco gas station & was curious about it, so I did a quick google search to check the reviews. The reviews were outstanding, so i decided to order a box to-go to share with my bf. And IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Yes, it's a little pricey but everything is so well seasoned! I forgot the name of the item I got, but the fries were so good!! (I typically hate fries). And the garlic dip we each had was delicious!! The burrito was so good! The server had a thick accent but he was very attentive & helped us on the questions we had. I'm not even from the area but I'll be back to try some of their other popular items! FYI - you can bring a bag of chips and they will load it up with your choice of meat, garlic sauce, tahini sauce, fresh veggies, and cheese for $10! As advertised on their truck.
