I've been here multiple times, and the food has been consistently excellent. The chicken is always tender, juicy, and full of flavor, and the beef kofta is hands down my favorite. Honestly, everything I've tried has been delicious. You can tell they take pride in preparing everything fresh and using quality ingredients. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and provides great service, which makes the experience even better. It's unfortunate when people leave negative reviews without recognizing the effort that goes into making fresh, high-quality food. My experience has been nothing but positive, and I'll definitely continue coming back. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

I'm very confused with the ratings of this place. We decided to try this place based on the reviews, vibe and location. Boy was I mistaken. I hate rants so I'll keep it short. I don't mind paying good $$ for quality food but our plates fell short of that standard for a $50 lunch. Also, please don't put the half slice of pita bread under the meat because I definitely do not enjoy wet pita. I don't know who is leaving these 5 star reviews but we do not agree with the rating. To the owners of this place, please please go try Top Kebob in Highland and taste the quality of their food. I wanted to like Lidaar Mediterranean Grill but was left really underwhelmed and ate my tasteless food as I'm not wasteful. Oh, the grilled tomato and bell peppers were ok. read more

WOW! This place is a gem, we heard about Lidaar through TikTok they raved about this place! We decided to give it a try, it did not dissapoint! We ordered the shish tawouk plate and chenjeh plate along with some refreshing Lima nanu there is a strong citrus herbal flavor which I love and sekanjeban nice and refreshing summer drink( very unique flavor). Both plates were delicious, juicy tender meat full of flavor, along with the charred tomatoes, pepper and pickled onions, every bite was a delicious melody! The plate also came with tzadzeki sauce that tied in the flavors well. Just delicious! The service was great, they made everything fresh & fast. You can tell they take pride in service and quality! Ambience was clean and modern. For both meals and 2 specialty drinks came out to $52. And it was well spent. read more

Lidaar Mediterranean Grill - Shish Taouk Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Place opened up recently and wanted to try a new place. Seating area has a few tables, parking lot is a good size. I got a bowl of falafel which comes with grilled baby peppers, citrus slaw, and pickled red onions and Fresno chiles on rice. The bowl was filling and everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned and grilled. I got the quartet sampler plate to-go.- muhammara, kashke bademjan, tzatziki, and baba ghanoush. All the sides were pretty tasty, two were eggplant based which I haven't tried. The appetizer place came with sliced pita bread. The staff is nice and the place is clean. read more

Oh my! I can see why my Yelp friends love this place! Some of the best food I've had in a while! Wow! I placed an online order for pickup. My work meeting took a little longer than anticipated, but the food was there waiting for me when I arrived. I was greeted upon entering. Such a cute little restaurant! Plenty of tables and chairs for dining in. Everyone was so nice! They told me I was going to LOVE the food, and they were right. Today I went with the Shish Tawouk Plate which is marinated, char-grilled chicken tenders, served with Saffron basmati rice, grilled tomato, grilled baby peppers, pickled/roasted onion and 2oz tzatziki. I was also pleasantly surprised to find some pita under the rice! Everything was great! The chicken was cooked to perfection and the tzatziki was delicious! I also wanted to try the Muhammara which is roasted bell peppers, walnuts, pomegranate molasses, fresh lemon, and aleppo pepper. Incredible! It came with two extra pieces of pita bread, but I put some on my chicken and was satisfied! Prices are a little higher, as some reviews comment, but what isn't these days? The quality and freshness is there. I'll definitely be back! read more

Friendly cashier and cook! You can see everything they're making and preparing as it's an open kitchen. Went with my family because my son wanted to try and he loved it. Would come back! Tried their ground beef and steak skewers and both were seasoned perfectly. The vegetables were charred just right and the rice was a big portion. The falafels were the most flavorful I've ever had. For family of 3 our total was around $60. Two plates, skewer and rice à la carte and one drink. Def recommend!! read more

Tried today with my husband had the bowl and chicken very tasty. Will def be back wish they had baklava

Lidaar just opened recently and my husband and I came here for lunch. We were not really sure what to expect. The spot was previously a Pizza Hut and they totally renovated the interior. We met the owner and he explained that the menu is a mixture of different cuisines; Persian, Lebanese, Syrian... We ordered the Ghouzi (lamb shank), Falafel Wrap and sampled a beef kofta. Holy moly, everything was excellent. So much flavor. They even make the yogurt for the tzatziki in-house. The Ghouzi was amazing and had so much flavor and the beef kofta was juicy. This place is definitely a gem. My husband cannot stop talking about it. We will have to come again soon and try more menu items. read more

Delicious! The Lamb Shank was incredible and the saffron rice was so elevated with the golden raisins, caramelized onions, cinnamon, and almonds. The Beef Kofta was bomb and stuffing that in the pita bread with the Muhammara and Kashke Bademjan (must gets!) from the appetizer quartet, the saffron rice, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce was truly the pinnacle of middle eastern cuisine. All the food tasted very fresh, definitely a must try. read more

This place is so good and fresh. I loved that you can see the food being cooked and it smells so good. It was so clean in there and simple yet it was very modern. They didn't have a soda machine but it was ok since they have many drinks to choose from. The service was friendly and the food came out at a good time. If you like Mediterranean food I would definitely recommend it. read more

This is a casual place. Order at the counter and pick up food on a tray. Service was friendly. We drove out of our way to come here because of the high rating. The food was decent. Cooked nicely and presentable. I think if I could give 3.5 stars that would be about right. Why? The flavor just is not there. I had a chicken dish. One reason I love Mediterranean food is because of the spice. A nicely marinated chicken dish can carry the whole meal. Considering we paid over $50 for two, I expected more. read more

Lidaar Mediterranean Grill - No idea but it looks gooood - Mediterranean Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

The dishes are amazing, flavor throughout! I'll definitely be back and share with all my friends.

I was in the mood for something light and healthy and decided to try Lidaar Mediterranean Grill.. the place was roomy, well organized and spotless. Gender neutral restroom is also very clean. They have standard offering of wraps, bowls or plates with your choice of protein chicken, steak or ground beef. I ordered the tabbouleh and a side of shish taouk.The chicken was nicely seared, perfectly seasoned, tender and oh so juicy. Tabbouleh was amazing absolutely the freshest I have had. It tasted like all the veggies were cut and served within minutes. Ratio of burlgur to cecci to veggies to lemon was perfect. My eyeballs were turning over as I was eating. Staff were all super cool and friendly. Definitely looking forward to coming here again the next time I'm in the area. read more

We ordered the beef kofta plate (they were out of the Chenjeh plate at the time) and the Shish Taouk bowl, and both were absolutely delicious! Everything was flavorful and fresh. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Brand new local potential gem. Friendly Service, Family run , good portions, full flavor . I just moved to Rancho , so I'm currently exploring local eats . I walked in about 15 minutes before they were about to close (I had no choice as I was coming from work) I appreciated that they still were kind enough to pause their closing procedures (this is common with small restaurants to start closing out /cleaning grills / store ingredients etc. - I co own a successful restaurant in Los Angeles ) The owner made me a nice hot dish of beef kafta w rice and all the fixings. It was prepared fresh, well portioned and seasoned perfectly. I hope to come back soon and wish them success. Keep the ingredient quality and preparation to a high standard. Be friendly and present , and maintain your space clean and you will be a staple in the area. Warmly Omar read more

Lidaar Mediterranean Grill - Full flavored succulent chicken. - Mediterranean Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Absolutely loved this place. Lidaar just opened and it's already hands down the best Mediterranean food we've ever had. We ordered the chicken plate, seasoned fries, tabuleh, and all four sauces (garlic sauce, tzatziki, dill tahini, and the spicy green sauce) -- everything was freshly made to order and packed with flavor. The sauces deserve a special shoutout... every single one was incredible. The owners were extremely kind and hospitable, which made the experience even better. Even our 11-month-old daughter loved the food, which says a lot. The inside has been nicely remodeled, super clean, and welcoming. We'll definitely be coming back -- highly recommend supporting this spot! (Fries were not pictured because my daughter finished them super quickly!) read more

I live down the street and this is my first time here and the food was good they just forgot my rice in the chicken bowl :(

Service was good, pleasant and quick. The chicken wrap was dry but mad better with additional garlic sauce. The lamb shank was good and tender but fairly small portion for the price and was buried under a unique sweet rice dish. The interior was clean and fresh looking. read more

This is not gonna be a chat gpt review. The food was delicious, period. They use chicken tenders instead of Brest, so the chicken is super juicy. The beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection, not overcooked at all. The kofta was also cooked perfect, not overcooked at all. The specialty drinks were also crafted perfectly. I don't think there's a Mediterranean restaurant that can compete within a 100 mile radius. read more

This place seriously impressed me. The marinated chicken plate with saffron rice was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The beef kofta wrap was a standout--the garlic aioli took it to the next level. The chicken bowl was surprisingly fun to eat thanks to the pickles and peppers, which added brightness and kept every bite interesting. It's also great knowing the food is 100% halal and that all the sauces are made in-house--you can really taste the difference. Don't skip the mint lemonade either--it was so good and refreshing. Solid Mediterranean spot with thoughtful flavors and great execution. read more

We tried Lidaar Mediterranean tonight for dinner and are so happy this gem is local in Rancho Cucamonga. We started with a tasty hummus appetizer and warm pita, then had the Shish Taouk (chicken) plate and Beef Kofta plate with Saffron Basmati Rice, Grilled Vegetables and Tzatziki. From the minute the food arrived at our table we knew we were in for a treat as the food was so fragrant and fresh. The chicken and beef were both moist and perfectly seasoned. Delicious Saffron Basmati rice, roasted vegetables and super tasty tzatziki added to our great meal. The customer service and ambiance were top notch. We'll definitely be back! read more

I came here on a late Friday night with my boyfriend, and I was honestly very impressed and surprised by the meat. The chicken was incredibly tender. I didn't even realize it was chicken when I was eating it. It was very flavorful. The meat was so moist and soft. I've never tasted chicken that good before also very very impressed by the beef. Overall, the meal was delicious. I really enjoyed the drink they had I believe it was a mango drink. I also really enjoyed the service. The owner is also the chef very kind and you can see that this was the food was made out love and it felt great supporting a small business that is really truly passionate about what they do. read more
