For years, my wife and I had been craving Mediterranean food, but we couldn't find any in the Bar Harbor-Ellsworth area. Then we learned that this restaurant had recently opened, and we just had to give it a try. It's a small place, with a few tables inside and several large picnic tables with umbrellas on a side lawn set back from the street, a surprisingly pleasant spot to enjoy a meal. We were greeted warmly upon arrival by a gentleman who was probably the owner. The menu is still fairly small, though we were told it will be expanded later in the season. We started with the carrot tarator, a yogurt-and-carrot spread served with warm pide bread. Whatever else was in it, it was outstanding. For our main courses, we ordered the grilled Adana and köfte. Both were flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The sauce served on the side was excellent and complemented the dishes perfectly. Desserts aren't available yet, but they're expected to be added in July. To finish the meal, we had Turkish tea served in traditional armudi (pear-shaped) glasses. It was enjoyable, though a bit lighter than what my Turkish friend introduced me to. Personally, I prefer a stronger brew that showcases the deep red color for which Rize tea (Rize çayı) is famous. I usually add a little mint and cardamom as well, but that's just my personal preference. One other pleasant surprise: by Bar Harbor standards, the prices are quite reasonable. And for those who prefer it, there are seafood options on the menu as well. We'll definitely be back. read more

After finishing my chicken wings, I almost cried! I was so sorry I didn't have any more of these succulent, aromatic pieces remaining! Furthermore, my husband and I loved the hot lentil soup blended to perfection, the fluffy homemade pita bread, the rich hummus, and the huge cabbage salad! All of our dinner was delicious on a cold rainy night. We are visiting from California, but found this cuisine quality matches any we have experienced on the West Coast! This is a wonderful restaurant!! read more

Everything was delicious and fresh. The fish sandwich, the Greek salad and the beef bowl were all tasty and generous portions. The owners were friendly and we got our food quickly. The space is cute and there is a nice outdoor seating area. read more

Nice little spot we checked out during our stay in Bar Harbor. The menu wasn't huge but the food was delicious. The two guys working were super nice and served the food relatively quickly. There wasn't a lot of space inside, but the seats outside were an even better choice. read more

Limon Grille - Falafel kebab - Mediterranean Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

Came here for lunch. It wasn't good. We ordered inside and went to seat outside. Ambiance is very laid back. They have a few indoor tables and a few outdoor tables. Service was ok. They just bring food out for you. That's all they do. Unfortunately food was very disappointing. Lentil soup was very watery. Chicken bowl had almost no chicken. Not a great place to go. I would skip it if you are in the area. read more

Limon Grille - Lentil soup - Mediterranean Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

What a great find! Excellent food and even better environment, at a reasonable price. I had the Donor Bowl with chicken, and my husband had the lamb and beef skewers, and then we shared a lentil soup. Neither of us eats rice so they gave us extra salad. They also let us try the wings, as they did not have enough for an order (make sure you get there early if you want them!) and they were really amazing... juicy yet crispy outside. The owners were also extremely welcoming and accommodating -- it's such a relaxing, friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back! read more

Service was great! This is a tiny gem in a hectic downtown neighborhood. The food was fantastic, super fresh and well spiced. We both had the kofta platter - again, perfectly grilled and the rice Thank you!! read more

We came here for dinner as we wanted a quick bite after being out all day and saw they had vegetarian options so got excited. We got lucky and were able to get a table to sit at. It is a bit small inside but there are a few tables if you want to dine in. The service was just OK - you order at the counter and they will bring the food to your table. My friend and I both got the falafel sandwich with fries and it was just ok. the falafel inside wasn't cooked that well and the outside was extremely crunchy and a bit overcooked in our opinion. The fries were not salted but they were fine. Not sure that I would go again if I was near by, or I would get something apart from the falafel for sure. read more

Casual place - in a very good way! Turkish food was great. Had the lamb/beef skewer. Great taste combo, with seasoned meat and just the right amount of grilled/charred flavor. Yogurt sauce was fantastic! Red cabbage salad also excellent. Family owned, with very friendly service. Recommended. read more

Limon Grille - Chicken skewers with salad, rice, and pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

Food was tasty, but eat-in ambiance and space are lacking. We liked the chicken skewers, beef/lamb skewers, and fish sandwiches. Doner sandwich, not so much. I think they sell extra sauce, but the meals need and should include more. Maybe this is primarily a take out place and we just didn't realize it, because we ate in the restaurant and pulled together 2 of the 4 tables and we sat next to the counter where a friend of the staff was sitting there chatting with the cook. Kind of a weird vibe. read more

Don't let the atmosphere fool you. Too many people walked in, looked around and left! Food is very good and authentic. There is no service. You order at the counter. Feels like it is family run. Go there for the food. Prices are fair. read more

We stopped in Limon and promptly received service. There is limited interior seating, but it is comfortable and cozy. There are outdoor seats to the left of the restaurant. The menu is simple, but contains a number of good offerings. We both elected for the chicken skewers and added a side of hummus. The pita bread and hummus was excellent. The chicken skewers were thigh meat, which was not our preference. Thigh meat can lean a bit on the rubbery side and this was no exception. Certainly still edible and to be expected, but not the same texture one expects when envisioning chicken breast. The chicken skewers came with a large piece of pita bread, a side salad, rice, and what seemed to be a yogurt, cucumber, lobster sauce that was surprisingly quite good! We enjoyed our meals and highly recommend. read more

Limon Grille - Mediterranean Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

We ate dinner at Limon Grill tonight. We wanted to try something different our last night in Bar Harbor. It is no frills with two tables and bar seating inside. They have picnic tables outside. We split three meals across four of us as we had a late lunch. We enjoyed a Grilled Kofto, Donor Sandwich, and a grilled beef/lamb skewer. The flavors were all very good. If you are looking for something different give this place a try. read more

Great new addition to the Bar Harbor food scene! I ordered a Donner Bowl and was very happy with the freshness of the ingredients and the tastiness of the sauces, all with a great price. Pros: - adorable outdoor picnic seating with sun umbrellas - friendly and welcoming staff - decent menu variety A few recommendations for the owners: - would love to see GF and V icons on the menu for folks with dietary restrictions - the Donner bowls were packed to the brim with food, which made it a bit difficult to mix properly without spilling Overall a good experience and I'm looking forward to seeing how the business has improved the next time I'm in the area! read more

Delicious take out! Kofte and rice with a pita were delicious.... The hummus was tangy in a very good way. Efficient and friendly counter staff. read more

We felt very welcome when we walked in. Our server (who may have been one of the owners) was very helpful accommodating my dietary restrictions. My chicken bowl was bountiful and flavorful. The tasty yogurt and herb sauce was not one I had encountered before but I hope I will again. It was a good value. The restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating and we were able to enjoy a world cup game on their two televisions. I would definitely return if I ever get back to Bar Harbor. read more

We come to Bar Harbor every year and I was so happy to see another restaurant with vegetarian options. Service was fast and friendly and the food was delicious. We ended up eating there several times during our vacation and everything we tried was amazing! Highly recommend. read more

Great place Turkish food in Bar Harbor. Very friendly family run business. Had the Donner wrap and bowl. Very tasty. As a special treat, I asked for Turkish tea, and sure enough they served it to us, since mom was back in the kitchen! read more

We got dinner one night during our Bar Harbor vacation. We both got the chicken doner box, and it was super tasty. Big portion too. Walkable from the touristy area, and great service. We dined in, and there is limited seating, but service is fast. I think they also offer take out. Don't pass this place up! read more

Eating here today for the 5th time this year on only 4 trips to Bar Harbor. Excellent food and excellent quick service. Keep it up.
