Gyro and lentil soup
Gregg S.

The BF and I were looking for a place to eat dinner. Cafe Moderno is tucked away in a mini mall and looks like a coffee shop, you'd easily walk on by. But its actually a Mediterranean restaurant, a true hidden gem. Expect to spend about $15 a plate, which is a great value. My only criticism, is its a small restaurant, so it can feel cramped. They have lamb, chicken, shrimp and steak, soup and salad.

Theo's Original Greek Salad Entree

The salad was so good. I will come back just for the salad. I wasn't a fan of the wrap just my personal opinion, but the salad is a 10 out of 10.

Staff was super nice, umm but these portion sizes are ridiculous, you're charging 17+ dollars for a Salmon "plate" this is small than my hand these are prices of salmon burnt not even a full salmon fillet. This is very scamy, no one willing pays 17 dollars for this a bit of lettuce and some French fries. Ridiculous

Great food. Great service. Very delicious shaverma…read more Defenetly come again. Highly recommend.

Took my grandmother to Zaky Mediterranean Grill after she mentioned wanting to try something new…read more Her usual go-to is Norm's, which is actually right across the street. But she had seen this Mediterranean spot nearby and was curious about it, so I told her we should give it a try. The restaurant is tucked into the corner of the lot, attached to the same building as a Starbucks. The Starbucks drive-thru can block a few of the front parking spots, but we got lucky and found one open. We walked in and were greeted right away--no one else was inside, which gave us time to explore the menu. Miriam, the young woman at the counter, was polite and patient while I explained the different dishes to my grandmother. She decided on a plate with lamb and steak kabobs, hummus, tabbouleh, cucumber yogurt, rice, and garlic sauce. I ordered the Zaky Bowl with beef & lamb shawarma, rice, and garlic sauce. We sat at a booth and waited while they cooked everything fresh, which was a nice surprise. The restroom was clean and the soda machine was self-serve for easy refills. When the food came out, it looked great and tasted even better. My grandmother enjoyed her meal and mentioned she'd come back here in the future as a healthier option. Fresh food, kind service, and a chill spot tucked right across from Norm's. Worth the visit.

Zaky Mediterranean Grill - You have to drive around to the front door. Not a lot of parking.

Zaky Mediterranean Grill - The wait is a joke. It is posted that it will take 10-15 minutes for kabob plates, but more like 20-25. Just dumb.

Quick turnaround time and I drove right into, it was delicious! The lavish bread was light, the meat was seasoned and tender.

I got the beef shish kebab plate with roasted beet salad was also fantastic. The meat was cooked to perfection on a grill outside. Turkish coffee sure was strong and served in a tiny cup which was cute. Got a baklava for dessert which was very sweet but yum. They also have a large display case of candy that were all very unique and tasty. I got a rose one that is so good. I bought a box of assorted flavors home to enjoy. The owner of the restaurant cut small pieces of the candy for us to try so we can decide which one we wanted. The other owner also came by to check on us and ask if the food was good. The restaurant is quite spacious with outdoor covered patio seating as well as indoor. I was able to bring my dog and dine there. They were so nice and even offered a bowl of water for my pup. Overall wonderful place for some solid Turkish food.

Love Kebab G STOP! Wraps are so good, toasted perfectly and the shwararma is amazing…read more Friendly crew gets to know you and remembers your order. My kids and wife love it too, a family favoite, sometimes twice a week. Thanks G Stop!

As is so often the case w/ many of my "new to me" restaurant reviews, I first discovered Kebab G…read moreStop because of a delivery I had the pleasure of transporting to a KGS patron. I'd been impressed w/ the unflappable happiness pouring outtve (server/co-cook) Danny and told him that I'd likely boomerang back by shift's end to sample their cuisine for myself. Surely enough, I vaulted back a coupla hours later and, judging from the queue of 8-10 folks lined up all awaiting takeout orders, must've brought half of La Verne with me. I'd voted for Kebab G Stop's Kebab Combo Plate, which cones with a stalk apiece of chicken and beef kebabs, fluffy saffron hued rice, a heaping slab of unctuous garlic sauce called TOUM and grilled vegetables. The caliber of the food was good. The chicken cutlets were exquisitely grilled, redolent of the yogurt based sauce they surely pre-marinated the white meat chicken in. The beef cutlets were flavorful but mildly overdone w/ remnants of visible/tactile char on each piece. The rice was very good- Fork fluffy, turmeric hued and saffron kissed. As a connoisseur of the SoCal Mediterranean food scene, I'd still rate GEORGIE'S MEDITERRANEAN w/ the best rice- Theirs comes similarly colored and fluffed BUT is generously studded w/ micro-shreds of chicken that vault their rice to the gold medal. The grilled vegetables were comprised of a grilled tomato and a grilled pepper- Not exactly my idea of a terrific accompaniment to an otherwise very solid meal. I wanna, must, take a moment to applaud the seamless teamwork and efficiency exhibited by the KGS Dynamic Duo of Danny & Jake. Despite a eight order back up, they pinballed thru their duties like an Olympic skiier slamoming down a treacherous mountain course! Does the "G" in Kebab G Stop strike the (culinary!) G spot?! Not necessarily- But elevate the caliber of their side dishes and they'll be ready to earn that fifth star.
