I NEVER leave reviews but this was so amazing I just had to. I ordered yesterday from Doordash. I usually have terrible luck... ordering food and something is missing or cold or nasty. This order this was perfect! Well wrapped, still warm, and everythingwas there. I left a note explaining it was my first time ordering and received a hand written note back explaining how todifferentiate between lamb and beef (it even had a smiley face ????) Now to the food? put it like this, they aren?t open yetbut my next order is already sitting ready for me to checkout on Doordash! We had the lamb, chicken, and beef kabobs and ashawarma wrap. All the meats were moist and sooooooo flavorful ????! Everything was really flavorful even the rice and littleside salad. But the star of the night was the hummus. We as a family hate hummus. I started to ask them to sub it but I didn?twant to be difficult and I am so glad I didn?t. It was so flavorful and creamy. I wish I could have recorded my son?s face. WhenI gave it to him he a hmm look on his face ???? and as soon as he started eating, it switched to a grin ???? his first wordswere ?They?re on to something!? Needless to say they devoured half my plate! (If u have boys you know how it is) I?m ordering a16oz of the hummus today! If you are like me and read reviews before trying a place, believe me this place is amazing!! We willsurely be regulars. Read more
This place can be a little tricky to find if you?ve never been here, but once you?re able to find it, you?re going to be glad... you did. The staff is so friendly, the food is absolutely delicious, and they?re fast! The location is a bit smaller, but theydo have indoor and outdoor seating. Just a heads up, this place gets a line during lunch hour, but not too worry since they?revery fast here. I would recommend this place to anyone! Read more
Hands down my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. My only complaint is I wish it stayed open through the night because I can't... get enough of it. Food is finished and ready to go by the time you finish paying. The hummus, salad, rice, and meat are all topnotch quality. Nothing else to say here. Read more
I finally caught them open! I hate this store?s restrictive hours but once you catch them open, you should try it out! It?s on... the fast-food style, classic Green-inspired gyros etc. Quality of food was great as well as their customer service and speed ofservice too. Read more
You?re trippin if you sleep on Mediterranean Cafe!! This is the best middle eastern food I have EVER had! The prices are... unbeatable, the quality of ingredients are top notch, and the overall taste of the meats, sauces, veggies, sides and pita isunparalleled. The exterior and interior are a bit unassuming but do not let that stop you from coming by. The dishes areprepared super fast, often being put in front of you while you?re still paying! The falafel is moist and crispy, not dry atall! The lettuce and tomatoes are fresh. I love to also add the hot sauce and tzatziki which are crazy delicious! This shouldbe your go to for middle eastern cuisine! Read more
My fiancé and I moved here last year and haven?t found a Mediterranean restaurant that we consider worthwhile. We live in... Monrovia and the options are little. We have also found many restaurants that have little to no flavor or dry pitas. We stoppedhere on a whim and were beyond glad! The staff was friendly and the prices were more than agreeable. Your plate is created rightwhen you order, which is fast and convenient! The falafels are truly the best from what I?ve had in the valley thus far! Theyare cooked perfectly and are not oily. On top of it all, they have great flavor. We ended up ordering two more as they are only$2.50! My fiancé loved the chicken Schwarma and he really enjoyed it. I had the chicken kebab plate and it was tender andperfectly flavored. Their hummus is great in texture and taste and their garlic paste is good. The chili paste they have isspicy but pairs perfect with their food. We were so glad that we stopped and will frequent this spot many more times. Read more
The owners are Armenian and super nice people. I love supporting Armenian businesses and they especially have such yummy lunch... plates and wraps. I will definitely come again for the friendly ambiance <3 (: Read more
