Lamb Shank
Francis D.

My wife wanted Mediterranean food for her birthday and she wanted to try this place out because of the lamb chops. Food is top notch, I love Mediterranean food and this one had a good amount of options. All the dishes were flavorful. The lamb shank was fall off the bone tender and seasoned well. The lamb chops were grilled perfectly to a medium rare. Decent size serving for the grilled combo platter as well as the Kafta plate. Chicken and beef kabob were nice and juicy goes well with the hummus and garlic sauce. The waitress was attentive and service was pretty fast. The place just needs a little updating, the ambiance was a little bland but the food is really good.

Fast service, good food, and decent prices. We went for lunch and tried the chicken, beef, and kobideh. My favorite items were the hummus and baba ganoush. Everything else was good, pretty much what you would expect from a Mediterranean restaurant, nothing fancy, nothing bad, just solid overall. They also had a pomegranate sauce that some people may enjoy, but I still preferred the hummus and baba ganoush more. Overall, it was a good experience, though not unique enough for me to specifically want to go back unless someone else chose it.

The great falafels
David S.

The dishes are absolutely terrific. The best falafels with tahini sauce (ask for extra) with great rich lentil soup, super fresh green salad, the best lamb chops with delicious baba ghanoush and hummus. Service is friendly but sometimes frazzled. Ambiance is super casual. Plz: No pine-sol during dinner.

Best falafel we've ever had. Chicken was tender and full of flavor. Everything was on point! Definitely going back

This the Beef Kabob
Antonio M.

This was our first dining experience. We came to celebrate 3 birthdays that day. As we entered the ambiance was nice and greeted immediately. The food was DELICIOUS! We felt like we were at someone's house with a home cooked meal The meat, chicken and salmon were soft and well seasoned. The salad was fresh and crisp. Our table was cleaned immediately after eating and then the server surprised us with cheese cake and background birthday music. The service was superb!! We all agreed to dine here again for every occasion. We recommend

Chicken kabob plate

Stumbled upon this place via uber eats. I have lived in Upland 5 years and never heard of this place! It's AH-mazing Mediterranean food. It's quality and fresh. The uber deliver was super quick and delivered hot and ready. Will definitely order again !

Takeout- Chicken Kabob plate
Isabel M.

This place is one of the best Mediterranean spots around. I've gone too many places nearby and none of them match the quality and the taste of their food. The chicken kebab is always super soft, juicy and flavorful. The portions are really good as well. Not to mention the owner is always kind and welcoming!

Chicken kabob

This is a hidden gem, the food felt really authentic, the service was great, it was delicious I finished the whole plate!!!

Ysabel's birthday lunch!!
Bob B.

We haven't been here in a while and the food and service are just as good as we remembered it! Ysa had the salmon and I had the Kefta Kabab. Han's & Sammy also had the Kefta Kabab. Kim had the Chicken Kabab. Plus great desserts!

2/13/24 Feeling like Mediterranean tonight

See all

Do you offer halal?

What menu items have bell peppers in them? I'm allergic and need to avoid them. Also, do they have baklava made only with pistachio?

I can't remember if the fatuosh salad has them but you can definitely ask them not to put it in the salad. They always accommodate me with not adding the pita. The baklava is yummy but I can't remember if it has pistachio or walnuts. I just remember… Read more

I felt like when we went here we were at a friends house and she was cooking for us. There was literally one lady working in the entire restaurant. She took our order then got to work. The food was pricey and my sister and I with our 2 small kids the bill with drinks was $75. Times are tough and restaurants are feeling the crunch! So I believe their prices are the norm nowadays. All that being said; everything was fresh. The garlic sauce is on point as well as the fresh pita bread. The hummus is good and the chicken is well seasoned. The fries were dry and needed salt. The rice was not my fave but it did the job. Overall it's pretty good give it a try.

The hummus/eggplant was ok, I've had much better. Salad was boring. Yoghurt drink was the only interesting tasty thing. Combo plate was flavorless. Which is sad bc the meat and chicken were moist and cooked well but it was a pound of rice and skewers with very little to no salt or flavor and zero sauce or anything to fix it. we waited for our server to come back and do a check, or refill our empty waters or offer anything on the side. never saw her again. mid meal my friend got super nauseous and faint and had to step outside and we needed to box and pay the check immediately. She needed water and fresh air and no one was around for the water so she went to the car. I got up and walked around looking for anyone. I even went to the kitchen opening and yelled hello... no one.I went out to the patio and found Eugenia who I asked for help. She was super apologetic and helpful. Got us boxes, Got our check. Paid our check. Brought us change. Apologized. Still haven't seen our server yet. Never even gave us her name. we left and I should have given the tip to Eugenia but I was rushing to get my friend home who was sweating and looked like she might puke.

If you're looking for the definitive Lebanese experience in the IE, this is the order to beat. The Breakdown: * The Trio Grill: You get a sampling of everything--chicken, beef, and kefta kebabs. The chicken kebab was the standout for me; it was incredibly tender and had that perfect open-flame char that you just can't replicate at home. * Baba Ghanoush: This was a smoky revelation. You can taste the fire-roasted eggplant in every bite, and the texture was perfectly whipped and creamy without losing its soul. It's easily some of the best in the area. * Tabouleh: So many places use too much bulgur, but Mezzaterranean does it right. It was a bright, herbaceous explosion of fresh parsley and lemon that cut through the richness of the grilled meats perfectly. * The Extras: It all comes together with their fluffy rice and warm pita. Pro tip: use the pita to make little "mini-tacos" with a piece of chicken, a dollop of baba ghannouj, and a pinch of tabouleh. The Verdict: The portions on the Trio Plate are massive (definitely enough to share, though you might not want to). Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and authentic. It's clear this family-run spot puts a lot of heart into their recipes. 10/10, will be back for more of that garlic sauce!

I was warmly greeted by a lovely lady who seemed to be both the manager and the waitress. The restaurant has a vintage style; it's set in an old building, giving it a vibe, but honestly, it looked a bit worn down and didn't seem that clean especially the restroom, which also didn't appear very sanitary. For food, I tried the sujuk appetizer: a spicy sausage with sautéed veggies. Unfortunately, it wasn't like what I've had before; something about the taste was off, and I didn't enjoy it. I also ordered the mixed grill plate, which came with three portions: chicken, ground beef, and steak. The steak was actually quite good, and I really enjoyed that, but the chicken didn't taste like a young, fresh chicken; it was like one of those big, hormone-fed birds. The rice was not fresh and it was a warm up from the day before. Overall, I didn't really like the food quality and didn't feel like it matched the price at all. On the plus side, the service was really nice; that lady was very kind and genuine. One odd thing was that there was nothing on the table; no salt, pepper, napkins, or sauces. you have to ask for everything. And since the railroad is so close, you occasionally hear a loud train passing by. All in all, despite the warm service, I probably won't be coming back.
