A great lil Mediterranean spot in Indialantic FL…read more We were looking for something fresh and easy to eat with a few friends while we were in Melbourne and after a quick search on Yelp, we found Lily's! We all love Mediterranean food and this was a great pick. We were seated super quickly during a lunch on the weekend. The inside was quaint and clean. We all shared a few dishes- Lily's Ultimate Hummus, Lily's Mixed platter and the best friend's platter. This offered a good variety of things to share, from shrimp, to beef, to chicken. The rice was good and complimented the proteins well. The hummus was also plentiful and delicious! A great spot to eat Mediterranean food in the area by the beach!

Unsweet tea was nice and strong I have a twenty one dollar greek sampler, and it was very nice. It came with grape leaves, souvlaki, spinach pie, small greek slalad, pita bread, and something that I always mispronounce, but it looked like Greek lasagna. I took half of it home as it was too much to eat. I paid another $1.75 for a small side of homemade taziki sauce Overall a nice quiet experience. The sign says they've been here since nineteen ninety six, so it is definitely worth a try

We each got a glass of wine, and Toni basically gave us a whole tasting of Lebanese wines. She is extremely knowledgeable about wine in general. The food was next level. I have never had middle eastern food but this was a great introduction. The only minus is that this place is NOT kid friendly, and you absolutely must call ahead and get a reservation. Chef Toni was actively turning people away who did not have a reservation because she simply cannot fit more guests into her restaurant. There are no kids menus, and I don't even think there are high chairs. Toni did try to accommodate as best as she could- she made our entrees shareable for our toddler and she made sure he had extra pita bread! Chef Toni offers a "chefs table" experience, starting at $95/person, chef Toni will ask you some questions and curate a menu specific to your desires / dietary needs. We stumbled upon this place by happenstance but we will absolutely be returning. See Chef Toni featured on Food Network!

They have daily lunch specials on their Gyros (the menu says M-F, but the owner told us they expanded it to every day). We ordered the chicken gyros and lamb gyro which comes with rice or fries and a drink for $11.99- a terrific deal! The food is made fresh and quick. I had the chicken gyro with fries and let me tell you this was bomb! The gyro was loaded with a good amount of tender crisp chicken pieces, piled with lettuce tomatoes, onions and topped with a tangy herb spiced yogurt sauce- all stuffed into a soft and fluffy pita. The side of fries was heavenly. It was super crispy but tender on the inside. So good. Everyone marveled at how delicious their plate was. What a great place for Middle Eastern food! Highly recommend.

Came out timely, nobody's order was wrong and the service was just incredible. Johnny was our table's waiter and he was great!

Took everyone's' order with a smile on his face and the craziest part was everyone has separate checks and everything was correct The ambiance was great. I could have done without the belly dancer coming out twice. Both times I was in the middle of a conversation when the music would get loud and the girl came out.

It took sooooo long to get a spritz. So long I forgot I'd ordered it. She was never in sight. Always gone somewhere. Was her area too large or was she hiding in the kitchen? I was so excited to get the shaved ribeye sandwich but it was... a shaved burger patty??? I mean... literally. That IS what it was. NGL it tasted good but the burger on the menu is a "special blend" not a ribeye... and this was 100% a "shaved" burger patty advertised as a "shaved ribeye". Fries were typical bar food. Crispy though! Drinks were okay but not at all worth the price and time. (Was I spoiled by the last restaurant we'd visited in Brevard that had exceptional draft selections and great prices on everything? Maybe.) Beer was warm. The ONLY thing we absolutely loved was the entertainment. Joshua Keels was playing, we'd never heard of him but wow! Went and found him on Spotify it was so good. Covers and originals. It's amazing how live music can save a place like this. It would have been a 1-2* if not for entertainment. I mean... false advertising on the "shaved ribeye" has me reeling. Did not take pics like I normally would have bc... what was that even?

The food came up pretty fast as the owner and company worked very hard to get the food out fast. It was a small place, but lots of natural light. We liked seeing the deli case full of beautiful items. They also had a small section for grocery items and a couch to hang out while the orders were being made.

Celo's Schwarma Factory 7954 N. Wickham Rd., Melbourne, FL 32940…read more 2 Stars As I recently discussed during an interview with the Orlando Business Journal, Brevard County has seen a large increase in Mediterranean cuisine establishments. While most work hard to provide quality food, there had to be a Subway version of this ever-popular diet at some point. Lachrymosely, loyal reader, this is that place. Celo's Schwarma Factory (or Mediterranean Bistro according to Face Book) takes the lines of least resistance to previously unforeseen heights. I ordered the Gyro Bowl and a Falafel Pita. Taking a seat, I was about to snap some pics of the interior but got distracted by my companion. My apologies. Our order was up, and I began the job upon returning to the table. First up on the Big Boy's distinguished palate was the Gyro Bowl. All bowls, like a sandwich, begin with the base. In this case, as in most, it was rice. This rice was so crunchy (my guess is it had been scraped off the sides and/or bottom of the steamer where it had been sitting for hours) that if I had any crowns on my teeth, they would have surely cracked. Seriously, I've had rocks that are more masticatable. The Gyro meat was extremely low-quality, and the veggies were uninspiring. Having more than one bite would have been cruel and unusual punishment to any patron, let alone one of Mediterranean decent such as myself; therefor I moved on to the Falafel Pita. This was average to the palate. The Pita was obviously not made on site, and I hazard guessing neither was the Falafel. There is nothing wrong with food service products if they are not bottom of the barrel and your execution is spot on. Whoever was behind the grill today was executing properly and this dish was the reason it was not a 1 star review. The Big Boy says, "There are so many fantastic Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurants on the Space Coast that there is zero reason to go slumming in this joint and dine on disagreeable flotsam."

We originally stopped at Flames for an early dinner as we were attracted to all the good reviews…read more The restaurant was not busy when we arrived around 5p but filled up a bit more as we dined. We appreciated the interior of this restaurant being noticeably brighter compared to the other location in Vero, which is too dark. This Melbourne location seemed clean with an open kitchen to see the action. We started off ordering a hummus for the table. A couple of the plates they brought out looked dirty and unwashed (yikes!). Also, the pitas were not warm so we sent those back as well. Not off to a good start. Our server Donna was great though, and was fast, helpful and informative. Our orders of tenderloin and chicken kebobs were ok, the steak was a bit chewy. Entrees came with a house salad with lemon vinaigrette, veggies, rice and a bit of hummus.. those were good. I've had better Mediterranean so not sure if I'd return, especially with the dirty dishes. This just wasn't what I was hoping for, but it's slim pickings if you're looking for good restaurants around this area.

Very rarely do I not eat my salad but today was a day. Did the waitress care? No- no one checked on me when I asked for different dressing i got some ranch but what is the point of Greek dressing and you need ranch? I'm not even a fan of ranch but I was trying to salvage some of my $18 I spent on a salad. The Greek dressing tasted like pure vinegar with a few fluffs of oregano and they're very disappointing. I really used to love this place but the last few times had been disappointment. Today was horrific and I will not be back and no longer recommend
