    he staff is super welcoming and they're always on top of things, which makes a big difference. Even when there's a line, they move through orders quickly and the service stays friendly. The food is consistently fresh and tastes great, but the main reason I keep coming back is just how easy and reliable the experience is. It's clean, the people are cool, and you aren't stuck waiting forever for your food.

    Chicken Luleh Plate
    Michelle C.

    Stopped by Ark and ordered the Chicken Luleh Plate. I originally had my eye on the Beef Luleh, but unfortunately they were already out by 5 PM. That said, the chicken did not disappoint. It was well-seasoned, juicy, and paired perfectly with the rice. I really enjoyed switching it up by adding either a bit of hummus or the white garlic sauce to the chicken. Both sauces complemented the flavors beautifully and added another layer of richness. The pita bread was thin and warm, a simple yet welcome addition that tied the plate together nicely. The cucumber and tomato salad is always on point and adds a hint of freshness to the plate.

    I got a chicken kebab combo. The chicken was cut up into really big pieces so I thought maybe it wouldn't be cooked thoroughly. I was wrong cause the meat was so tender and delicious. The rice pilaf was perfect. I really like that their meal comes with hummus and pita too. They were both yummy and a great bonus for me. The only thing I'd change is the salad. It was good but i would prefer a fattoush salad.

    I ALWAYS ORDER EXTRA HOT SAUCE

    Nice clean restaurant. The employees are always great here. I got the combo with beef and chicken. I love the thick chunks of meat, it keeps the meat juicy. The meat is seasoned well with delicious flavor. The rice pilaf is always on point, soft and hot. The famous salad is great with a vinaigrette type of flavor. The pita and hummus is also pretty good, the pita does get dry kind of quick. And you HAVE TO try the spicy sauce, it's an extra 75 cents but sooooo good. I ordered 4 this day Some will say the price is high but the meat portions are large where I ate this 3 times that day to finish it. The 20 oz soda price of $3.50 is steep in my opinion though. Tons of seating as well as bar style seating along the window. I also went next door to Phoever to get a Thai Tea

    I was visiting the Fresno area and found this gem. Usually it's hard to find places in California (outside of the Los Angeles area,) that have good Armenian food, but this was one! If the cops go there, you know it's good! Very clean restaurant, very tasty food, and very nice people!!

    Chicken kabob plate.
    Dominic H.

    This is my first time here. Upon entering, I noticed a few of the tables were dirty and I had to wipe down the one I sat at. I ordered a chicken kabob plate. The rice pilaf was cold. I mentioned it to the girl behind the counter and she brought me out a side of rice pilaf. It was lukewarm. The chicken was cooked well and had ok flavor. The hummus was a little bland. The tomato and cucumber salad was ok. The pita was cold as if it was refrigerated. I prefer pita bread warm. I don't think I've ever had it served refrigerated. All in all, I think a three rating is generous. Clovis isn't the place to go for seasoned food if you know what I mean.

    The food so delicious our beef sooo tender The cashier friendly Pretty cool location the parking lot get pack from other restaurants Anyone looking for a good Mediterranean food In Clovis I recommend this restaurant!!

    I stopped by for a bite on a weekday and had high hopes after seeing the reviews. I ordered a couple things: fries, fattoush salad, and a gyro wrap. The best thing about this meal was the gyro meat. It was tender and deliciously seasoned. Unfortunately, everything after that was either too mild or bland for my liking. Service was top notch as the worker was kind in answering all my questions. Ambiance was standard for a fast casual eatery.

    Baba Ganoush
    Laurie S.

    I love The Ark soooo much! This is such a wonderful restaurant for the feel of having really consistent, delicious Armenian/Mediterranean Food, without having to be seated, have wait staff...its just the best of all worlds. You go on in and order at the counter, and seriously, it's all good! We stopped here for a light meal, and were so satisfied! Salad, 2 kinds of pilaf, baba ganoush and pita bread, grape leaves, a kid's chicken bowl...so happy! Also highly recommended here is the hummus, tabouli, grilled vegetables, and pretty much everything on the menu! Our family has virtually tried it all. The half booth table is always my favorite spot, and it is very comfortable. The food is consistent. The flavors, portions, like clockwork, its so precise! We have had this location cater take out for multiple parties for us and have never been disappointed! I just wanted to rave about this place to everyone, because it makes us all so happy! Kids of all ages, adults, whether you love meat, or you're vegetarian...they've got you covered! The textures are what get me everytime. Just absolutely satisfying, and fresh! And...it is always super clean! Crazy we need to call that out as a plus these days, but it is evident that this restaurant goes the extra mile with cleanliness! Thank you thank you! Can't wait to go on back again soon!

As I rushed out of the restaurant, I left my credit card. In my haste to be the 3-hour traffic back up to the Bay Area, I completely forgot until I got halfway back home, stopped for gas, and realized I couldn't pay for my gas with my card. I called them and luckily the same gal who was my server picked up and remembered me, confirmed she had my CC and told me to come back and get it. I told her I was back up in Oakland and asked a HUUUUUUGE Favor of them, to mail my CC back to me to save me the 6 hour round trip drive and ALL the headache I'd incur of getting a new card and having to redo all of the auto-pay set for countless bills with a new card number. Guess what? They did it! They took time from their busy lives, put a customer's needs first and saw past my human error and so generously sent my card to my home.

Good Mediterranean food usually hits the spot, but Tofas fell short. The issues started right at the register. The total price I was charged did not seem to align with the prices listed on the menu board. After double-checking, prices were different than I had been charged. After we sat down, the kitchen took a bit to prepare the order. When the food finally arrived, the quality was disappointing. I ordered the tri-tip sandwich. While the bread was decent, it only contained a few slices of tri-tip that were completely dried out. It was definitely not worth the price. Two of my family members ordered steak salads, and they had a similar experience. The meat tasted cheap and flavorless to the point where my family members stopped eating and left their meal unfinished. The restaurant itself was clean, and the service was okay even if the staff was not particularly attentive. However, between the pricing and poor food quality, the overall experience felt disorganized and lacking. Probably one of the worst Mediterranean spots i've tried in Fresno.

    This original location remains my recommended spot for Mediterranean food. Many Mediterranean…read morerestaurants in Fresno County are Armenian-owned, while only a small handful--like this family-run restaurant--specialize in Lebanese cuisine. Lebanese food is widely considered among the best expressions of Mediterranean cooking due to its vibrant use of fresh ingredients, particularly herbs, lemon, garlic, and olive oil, along with a strong emphasis on healthy, plant-based, and grilled dishes. It offers diverse, shareable, and nutrient-dense options such as tabbouleh, hummus, and falafel, making it both flavorful and nutritious. I always enjoy dining at Golden Grill because they exemplify Lebanese cuisine so well. Their dishes highlight fresh herbs like mint and parsley, along with garlic and lemon juice, rather than relying heavily on spices. The result is a light, refreshing, and aromatic flavor profile that feels both vibrant and balanced. The kebabs are excellent. The grilled cubes of beef, chicken, and kafta (ground beef and lamb) skewers are flavorful, tender, and juicy, topped with herbs and grilled to perfection. They carry a subtle smokiness and savory aroma, and the meats are beautifully charred with vibrant color. Their pita and saj sandwiches are also very well done. Each sandwich is warm and carefully assembled, forming a sturdy pocket filled with high-quality ingredients. They combine savory meats (or falafel and vegetables), creamy sauces, and crunchy pickles and onions into a balanced bite. The bread holds generous fillings without collapsing while still being tender enough to bite through easily. The pocket opens cleanly, creating the perfect pouch for the ingredients. For a small restaurant with limited seating that appears to receive many to-go orders, the presentation for dine-in guests is especially thoughtful. The dishes are served on clean white ceramic plates and trays, with the food carefully arranged and portions balanced. It is simple yet elegant and visually appealing. Golden Grill also captures the Lebanese mezze-style dining experience. As someone of Korean heritage, I appreciate this approach, since it is similar to how Korean meals are served with many shared dishes that provide variety in every meal. Some of the shared plates include Lebanese staples like hummus, falafel, tabbouleh, baba ghanouj, and fresh flatbread. Everything here tastes fresh and well-prepared, with distinct textures and aromatic flavors. The signature entrées come with two cold appetizers. The hummus is silky smooth, a velvety blend of garbanzo beans and tahini that almost melts in your mouth. The baba ghanouj is creamy, garlicky, and finished with olive oil. The tabbouleh is bright and balanced with lemon juice, garlic, and a generous drizzle of olive oil that ties together the citrusy and earthy flavors. The restaurant itself is clean, with tables and chairs wiped down quickly after guests leave. Service is friendly, welcoming, and helpful when placing orders. Prices are also reasonable, especially considering many competing Mediterranean restaurants do not place the same emphasis on presentation or on creating a mezze-style dining experience at no additional cost. While some may prefer other Mediterranean cuisines, I personally enjoy the fresh, light, and diverse flavors that Lebanese food offers. Golden Grill's citrus-forward dishes and extensive mezze options make it one of my favorite Mediterranean spots.
