Reviews for Mediterranean Express Grill in Montebello, CA

There was a 1 cm strand of hair that my daughter found in her rice platter. It was tinted red with blue ends, same as the... cashier?s hair color. Before discovering the hair, we had a bigger reason where zero stars seems more fitting: We opened therice platter and there was a grey color on the grilled tomato. Not charred black like the rest of it but grey. Looking closely,it was fuzzy mold. We showed the cashier and lady in charge and they asked if we wanted another tomato. We said no. They askedwhat we wanted. Well, usually in cases like that, we?d be offered something specific but nope, nothing. Well, a refund at leastpartial would have been appropriate but really, the food preparer?s reaction was not one of concern or even surprise. It wasalmost as if she knew the tomato was moldy when placed on the cooktop. Needless to say, the rest of the meal was not enjoyableand felt un-kosher, especially having found the strand of hair. We are never returning here. The food (lamb/chicken wrap) wasnot tasty (except maybe the koubideh). Worse, customer service is not a thing here. Read more

The best Armenian food in Montebello. We get food from here all the time. Their fattoush salad and chicken shawarma is so bomb... (get a side of sumac and pour it on the salad and squeeze lemon on top). They're shish kebab is absolutely delicious and theirhummus, cucumber and yogurt, and tabbouleh are so flavorful! ????

Pandemic review: early lunchtime 11:50AM At first I was scared of the price because malls are known to be extra expensive but... it came with more food than I expected. The lady was nice but seemed busy because she was the only one working the front. Shesaid my order would be done in about 15 mins and it was done faster than expected. This business was not busy when I went therefor lunch. There is indoor community seating for the food court (which is a big wide open space) with granite tableseverywhere. Covered outdoor seating is available in "The Patio" area. The chicken plate was delicious. The chicken was cookedvery hot but was still tender and juicy. They aren't scared to fill the container with rice. I'm disappointed it didn't comewith hummus but I guess more and more Mediterranean places have been cutting cost making the inexpensive chickpea side. Thetomato and chili were roasted very nice!!!! The underside of the chili was black. I could taste all the complex sugars in thetomato breaking down to make it sweet, and it was easy to cut with a fork while still having enough rigidity to have somestructure to hold itself together with pieces of rice. The cucumber salad was decent. Light sour and oil taste to help balanceout the savory meal. The flat bread was soft and warm :) Overall, this place exceeded my expectations. Good job. Read more

Downside about this place was I found a hair in my fries. The salad was great chicken tasted amazing, juicy great flavor.... cucumber salad was also good. Also around 20 for a salad is kind of unbelievable. Read more

Horrible experience 30 min pass by and my order was still not done the only 2 employees that were so-pose to be working were... just standing around not doing much. The cashier is so slow to take a order. When I approached the cashier to cancel my ordershe had no interest in finding out why she shrines her shoulders and ask the cook to approve and also the cook didn?t bother toask was I canceling. You guys let the customer know what the actual wait is going to be for those like me who was on Lunch wouldknow or choose another option. Read more

Delicious, fresh, authentic, great prices, friendly service. If ordering to take out, call in advance because orders are cooked... as the order is received. It is located in the food court of the mall. Read more

I've been coming here for over 15 years. The chicken is always consistent, the white rice is delicious, and the Cucumber salad... is out of this world. Read more

Cashier tried to overcharge me. I bought over $70 worth of food and as soon as I put my card in price went up to $84 and I asked... why it went up. She gave me no explanation, shook her head and removed whatever she added. I?m so confused on why I got thatattitude from her. Read more
