My husband's hummus was so bland that he tried to add some flavor with fresh lemon juice and salt. The only saving grace was the falafel.

In the meantime, Bateeni needs to go through the kitchen frig and pantry to make sure they are not offering bad food.

Large parking lot as the building sits in the front of a strip mall. Staff was very friendly. Service was very good but it was (maybe) 20% full on a Saturday night at 630. Marrakesh claims to be Mediterranean and they are somewhat correct. I consider Greek, Turkish, Italian to be more Mediterranean. OK, I'll give you Moroccan,, but no way Indian. India is in Asia. ( I know this sounds a little like bragging but I've eaten at many Greek & Turkish restaurants in my lifetime (high end to little, casual cafes), so for those who gave it 5 stars...they probably gave the Olive Garden 5 stars too) The menu is not big and has items from all the cuisines I mentioned above ( except Italy of course) The FOOD.... Apps --The Hummus was just pretty good. but the pita they served was dry like "store-bought". --The Grape Leaves (Rolled grape leaves stuffed with ground beef, parsley, and rice) were just OK too. --The Spanokopita; ( a Greek dish) a mixture of cooked spinach, feta cheese, and onion wrapped in phyllo dough.. was very good. Entrees --The Lamb Chops ( you get 4 of them) are the best bet here. Served with rice or salad. It may be the most expensive dish on the menu but well worth it. ( I did find it odd the server never asked how we wanted it cooked but they were juicy and delish) --I had the Three Meat Combo and choose three items: Chicken Tawook, Lamb, and Sheesh, served with rice and salad. All the meats were very dry. --Maqluba (Mediterranean rice casserole with a special blend of spices, chicken, cauliflower, carrots, and potatoes, served with salad) was tried by a few at our table. It's a huge portion of rice with stuff in it (it was very inexpensive at $16 but then again it was mostly rice) There was an item on the menu ( stuffed Cornish game hen) but they were sold out by 630pm on a Saturday night (odd). Desserts I found it odd that the menu only lists 2 desserts, yet when I asked there were approximately 5 more, including the currently popular Dubai chocolate cake or ice cream ( I forgot which but wish I chose it.) I'm glad I asked because our server never mentioned any specials. Warning: do NOT order the baklava. It was as dry as sand. Worst I ever had and I've had many. All in all the locals surely will like it because it is different and I doubt it has much competition. But if you are visiting and eat this type of food a lot back where you're from, buyer beware.

We were warmly greeted and asked about any food sensitivities by our hostess / server. There were some and she was great and talked us through them and made suggestions of what to avoid and steered us to better choices. I had the hummus starter and it was full of flavor and the pita slices were soft and warm. Our entrees ranged from power bowls to my gyro. The Tzatziki sauce was fresh and light with hints of cucumber and the gyro meat was full of flavor. All in our party spoke of fresh flavors and ingredients. The dining room is comfortable with nice calming music as well. What more could you ask for?? Not much! We had a great experience and plan to return when we're back in the area.

We asked to split a meal and even though there was no one there, she delivered one plate and told us we had to split the dish ourselves. The gyro platter had better pita, see pic , so I'm perplexed why we had the terrible pita we paid extra for. The gyro platter was average. I guess if its the only Mediterranean in town it would explain the reviews but other than that I cant explain the rave reviews.

Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly blended. You can really taste the care and quality in the food. What truly set this place apart, though, was the personalized service. The staff was warm, engaging, and clearly built real relationships with their regulars. They greeted every customer that entered as they walked in. They even took a moment to congratulate a customer who had just graduated from college and engaged their family celebrating with them. That kind of genuine connection is rare and incredibly refreshing. When I finished eating, I realized I wasn't in any rush to leave. I just sat there, soaking it all in with a goofy smile on my face, enjoying the atmosphere and the experience as a whole. The next time I'm in Greenville, I will definitely be back. Yaba Mediterranean Grill is a true gem.

The menu offers plenty: bowls, sandwiches, wraps, salads, platters, and sides. Coke products are also available. My wife and I ordered the Classic Gyro Bowl and the Greek Gyro Bowl. Both bowls contained plenty of the grilled, crunchy cubes of the Lamb/Beef gyro. Although mine was the "Greek" bowl, very little of the veggies were included, and the tzatziki was missing while the feta was plentiful. Flavor-wise, it tasted good, but it was short on the ingredients. The interior is dingy and our table was sticky despite the wipe down, so I'd recommend getting your food "to go". The service was a solid 4.0, but the other elements drag down my overall scoring.

If I lived anywhere near here, I'd probably come back to try other food. But for what I got, price was kinda high. Basically each comes in an 8oz to-go container and with the drink and it came out to $22.
