I cant believe that I haven't reviewed this restaurant yet- I have been here at least 10 times already. My wife and I 's go to is the number 3 combo - which is a chicken and beef kabob plate. The meat is so tender, juicy and flavorful- you don't even need a knife to cut through it. This meal is perfection and I wouldn't change a thing. My only recommendation is to add the hot sauce to it to dip your steak and chicken in it. Trust me, the extra 75 cents is worth it. The meal comes standard with rice, humus, cucumber/ tomato salad and pita bread. My wife and I always opt for the bulgur rice pilaf which has a chewier texture than the standard rice pilaf. To me , this is the best Mediterranean food that I have ever had - anywhere! This is the restaurant that I compare all other places to . Go now - you won't be disappointed! read more

Ark Mediterranean Grill - Chicken and filet mignon kabob plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

Decided to give this place another chance. Ordered the large (it's not large) Greek salad for $12.99 and if you want overcooked, dry, burnt chicken added to it, that will be another $5.50 so a total of $18.49 for a small dry burnt chicken salad. To make matters worse the little girl at the order counter had an attitude and wanted to argue about whether the chicken was called "protein" or "chicken". I told her if I wanted protein I'd drink a protein drink and I'm pretty sure I've been calling chicken "chicken" my entire life . Yea there are way too many middle eastern places to keep punishing myself coming here. read more

Ark Mediterranean Grill - Overcooked dry burnt chicken in my small salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

Ark Mediterranean Grill has plates, wraps and salads. Good quick service and plenty of parking. For the food: The lamb chops were tender and delicious. I was able to swap the house salad to tabouleh. There may have been a small charge for this. It's a good spot for healthy and tasty Mediterranean food in the area. read more

Ark Mediterranean Grill - Lamb Chops - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

Stopped by for dinner on a Sunday and they were busy. We took that as a good sign and had this place for dinner and went with the Chicken Kabob Plate. After placing our order, the food was out in about 15-20 minutes. Portions of the meal were decent considering the price. My one comments about the food is the size of the chicken chunks and the chunky salad. These pieces were too large for my enjoyment. A couple of the pieces of chicken were not cooked all the way through because of the size. The smaller poecea of chicken were cooked all the way through and had great flavor. We ate about half of the meal and then we weren't feelin the rest so we left it behind. Overall, probably won't be back due to my preferences however if your in the area and craving Mediterranean food, keep this place in mind. read more

Ark Mediterranean Grill - Chicken kabob plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

Ark is the best Mediterranean establishment in Fresno. The food is delicious and I enjoy the seasoning used to season the meat. The service is quick, usually takes 10 minutes for them to get it out. Freshly made too! The restaurant has a few TVs in there and it's got solid vibes. I lived in SF for a few months and no Mediterranean place compared to Ark. We've got a good one here folks. read more

Ark Mediterranean Grill in Fresno, CA is legit! I've been multiple times, and the last visit I ordered the salmon kabob plate--it was perfectly cooked, moist, and delicious. The rice and sides were on point too. What really stands out is their service: the staff gave me a yogurt Tzatziki sauce on the house, which they recommended when I placed my order. I love how thoughtful and friendly they are. Can't wait to come back to Fresno just to eat here again! read more

I am a returning customer at this location. Food quality and flavor have been consistent every time. I can recommend Ark to anyone who wants to try Mediterranean food in Fresno. The chicken shawarma plate and the combo kebab plates are my go-to items on the menu. read more

I just ordered lamb chops from them, girl on the phone placed my order as lamb kabobs which I don't eat. I called to try to resolve the issue, was told by who I think was the manager that they charged me for the kabobs so there's nothing more that they can do to satisfy me. I would have gladly driven back & paid whatever difference to get the dinner that I wanted & ordered. I was shut down by the manager that there's nothing they could do for me & was never offered an opportunity to pay difference & return to the store. In this economy you'd think that keeping a regular customer happy would be a priority, but this shows otherwise. There are many Mediterranean restaurants to chose from in the valley. I will be looking for a replacement for Ark. read more

The rest of the food was good. However the falafel was very burnt and tasted burnt. The hummus good. Pita bread was ok. read more

Ark Mediterranean Grill - Chicken and Falafel plate. Tasted like coal. - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

Consistently excellent. Fresh, delicious food and great service. Chicken kabob is perfectly cooked, pilaf is always fluffy and buttery. The falafels are always amazing, salad is authentic and my favorite ever! Love the flavors so much and have not been able to find anything like it outside of Fresno. Truly one of a kind in quality and service. read more

Good food, large portions, and they offer military discount. Sometimes the wait time can be long

Perfect spot to buy lunch with my Dad. He highly recommended this place as he follows a healthier diet. We were not disappointed! Huge plates of tzatziki and various gyro plates were devoured by our group of five. All enjoyed the quality of the meats and freshness of the veggies. Will be back soon. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing! Everything is fresh, and the meat is perfectly seasoned. I had the #8, and my husband had the #10--both were fantastic. The restaurant is super clean, with neatly wiped tables, and after ordering, you can sit wherever you like while they bring the food to your table. My husband follows a gluten-free diet, so finding a place with delicious food, minimal gluten, and a large menu is a huge plus! We also ordered fries on the side, and they brought over a generous portion in a big red basket, perfectly seasoned. We will definitely be coming back for more lunches and dinners. Plus, with family frequently visiting us, this will be our go-to spot to bring them! read more

Ark Mediterranean Grill - Chicken Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

First visit after my husband spotted it driving back from the grocery store. We arrived shortly after they opened and ordered a shawarma plate and falafel plate to eat there. They told us it would be about 10 minutes for our food to be brought out and honestly I think it was faster than that. The plate comes with rice pilaf, salad, hummus, and pita bread. The only disappointment was the pita bread wasn't warmed, it would have been so much better warm. The shawarma was seasoned beautifully and the pilaf was delicious. We ended up bringing back most of our food. Next time we'll split a plate and get a side of falafel but I'm wanting to try a wrap so we'll see what happens. This is a fast casual setting, it's set up for to go. The food is served in a to go container and you grab your own plastic utensils and napkins. It appears most of their business is to go orders. Didn't take any pictures, was too busy eating. read more

Lamb chop plate from The Ark was . Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and the sides were on point--rice, hummus, and a fresh salad. Definitely get the veggies on the side, they're worth it. Finished it off with their baklava, which was really good too. To-go service was fast and friendly. Great spot all around. read more

Great food, at a reasonable price. Quick and easy service, with a very friendly staff.

Ark Mediterranean Grill - Beef Luleh Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

Stopped here with the wife a week or ago for some Mediterranean food and loved the food! Walked in and noticed that there were some bottled drinks and beer off to the left of ordering and got a Mexican coke, they also had soft drink options with refills. Wife and I ordered and they brought the orders out about 10 minutes later and the food was delicious, my only complaint is just the aesthetic with a couple of small tv's playing random tv shows on but overall the Ark was a solid place for Mediterranean food and I would highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Clean dining room. Modern fast-casual decor. Chicken shawarma plate was great, as was the beef kabob. Staff were friendly/polite. No complaints. read more

Ark Mediterranean Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

I decided to try this place out the other night as I doing some shopping. I didn't feel like picking up fast food. I was very impressed I must say. I walked in and was immediately greeted. This is a nice place go either grab a bit to go or sit down and eat. I decided to order to go. You have your choices of Kabob plates, salads in which you can add protein to them. They also have Shawarma wraps and side such as fries, veggies or grape leaves. They have also have kids bowls. I went with chicken kabob plate. I was not disappointed at all. Plenty of pilaf with a good amount of chicken, a nice little cucumber and tomato salad with hummus, pita bread and garlic sauce. Everything was delicious. I will be going back to try other plates. This would be perfect to lunch or dinner. read more

Delicious food as always, nice and clean to dine in also. My husbands favorite rice pilaf in Fresno.

Been wanting to try out a new Mediterranean restaurant. This place had good reviews so I thought I would give it a shot. When I walked in the staff member that helped me out was very friendly and helpful. The food was pretty good! The flavor was just right and not overpowering. What really caught my attention was how fresh the food tasted. It didn't taste like it was full of chemicals and preservatives. The price was comparable to other Mediterranean restaurants. I will definitely come back. read more

My husband and I both ordered the chicken shawarma wrap. The pita is hard and flavorless, might as well wrap in cardboard. The chicken was very dry. The rice pilaf was good though. Never again. Broiler's it is! read more

Ark is one of my favorites in town for lunch or a quick take out dinner! Food is delish, I'm boring and usually just get a chicken and rice bowl with a side of hummus, it's always just so good. The chunky chicken is seasoned so well and cooked to perfection, literally melts in your mouth. Service is always quick, I typically order for pick up but have sat inside as well, usually comes out within 10 min. Ambience is clean and inviting. Thank you, Ark, for being consistently delish! read more

DELICIOUS! So delicious that I visited this place a total of about 3 times in roughly 2 weeks and it won't be the last. I purchased the Chicken Luleh with rice pilaf and a small side of baba ghanoush. You can taste a delicious smoked flavor in the baba ghanoush and I have to get it every single time. The chicken luleh is thick and juicy, while the rice pilaf seems to be Turkish style and pairs well with the chicken and mini salad of tomatoes and cucumbers. Can't get enough! read more

Ark Mediterranean Grill - Chicken luleh and baba - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

My family and I were at Riverpark and we got hungry. After a quick search, found this place online. We were in the mood to eat meat. We ordered the Combo, the Chicken Luleh, and Felafels. First of all, I have to mention how incredibly delicious everything was!!! The Combo came with chicken and beef. They asked how I wanted the beef to be cooked and actually cooked it exactly how I wanted. It was absolutely amazing. The flavor was exactly what we were craving. And the chicken.... OMG it was the most softest, most tender chicken I have ever sunk my teeth into!!! I was in love. I definitely have to get this again sometime. I highly recommend the Combo. Best Armenian food ever. The Luleh was also flavorful and delicious. I don't usually like falafel, but my husband had never tried it and wanted to so we ordered that too. I tasted one just because why not. It was actually really good! The falafel from here is the only falafel I actually like. My daughter said that the salad that came with the food was her favorite salad she had ever had. The rice was amazing, the humus was so creamy and delicious, and the sauces that came with the food were top notch. The food here is 100% elite. Hands down, the best we have ever tasted. Overall, 10 out of 10, I would recommend this place. I was so impressed with not just the food, but also with the service! After they brought our order to our table, they saw that we needed plates to share the food and just brought out the plates without asking or anything. They saw we needed them and just gave them to us. I love that. I was so impressed with this place and we decided to make here our go-to place if we're ever wanting to eat out. read more

Walked in at 7:50 asking if they were closed as some chairs were put up but some customers were still dining and asked for take out. I ordered briskly but I think the chef was upset and sort of rudely commented to the girl that was helping me that that is why you stop at 7:50 and then looked at me. It was a very uncomfortable interaction I almost wanted to just ask for my money back to go elsewhere. I love the food here but that was not pleasant. read more

Been here a couple times now, once for Beef Kabob plate, and today for the Lamb Chop plate. Both times great experiences. My grandma loves lamb, the plate came with 4 chops, pilaf, salad, hummus, and pita bread. We split it and it as more than enough. I live close by. Looking forward to coming again for the lamb; perfectly cooked, the flavor was perfect. Definitely recommend. read more

We ordered takeout for a family gathering and everyone absolutely loved the food, especially the generous portions kabob. The salad was also really fresh. In general the food seems to be made with a lot of care. I was also able to order over the phone and the person I spoke with was extremely helpful :) Definitely recommend! read more

Everything is really good. We've never been disappointed. Pita and hummus is a delicious and the chicken bowls are fire.

Awful food! Meat is always dry Has always taken them forever to get our meal to us, there's hardly anyone in there ever!

We have ordered the combo chicken and beef plate to go a few times now and it is always fresh and good quality. Meat is cooked and seasoned perfectly with a nice soft pita, rice, and salad. read more

Order ahead because they are always busy! If you like Western Armenian food, this is the place for you...definitely the best in Fresno. The baba ganoush, chicken and salmon kabobs and the tabouleh are standouts. The tabouleh is mostly parsley and not a lot of grain...just like it is supposed to be. Make sure to get the garlic sauce! The ambiance is quite sparse so we always pick up our food to go and enjoy at home. There are 2 parking spots out front designated for pick up only which is much needed in this very busy shopping center. read more
