In my lifetime I have had the pleasure of traveling numerous places worldwide, and have lived in Europe for a short while- all of which gave me the opportunity to sample many different cultural foods & dishes and dine in many different atmospheres and locations. I have to say, though, Gregg's has got to be one of my favourite restaurants if not my favourite indefinitely. From the atmosphere, to the friendly service, & the large portions of food for a very fair price, I'd recommend it to anyone! I generally get the fattoush salad when I'm there, being that it is no word of a lie the best salad I've ever had (I'm quite the salad connoisseur if I do say so myself) though, have tried other things like most of the appetizer plates & the vegetarian wrap & donair- all of which have been equally as tasty, consistently. And seeing as the portion sizes are so large, I always have at least another meals worth of leftovers the next day! bonus! the staff there is all so kind and genuine, it really is just the icing on the cake (or rather the syrup on top of the Baklava) To add, it's always clean and cozy, never too painstakingly busy, and service is right on par! The best part id have to say though is the homeliness atmosphere. The hospitality of the staff accompanied by complementary fruit plate after the odd meal, such a great touch! It's so nice to see small business doing such honest things- I find nowadays we are all so used to thinking it reasonable to pay $25.00 for a bowl of noodles, that when come by a place like so are startled by the prices & such. But nonetheless I felt it necessary to write a review because I passionately want their business to flourish because it is sooo well deserved to say the least; I'm unsure as to why it's not packed to the rafters every night! Though, Ive noticed any business that finds its way into that strip mall never really lasts, and if it does is just striving to do so, & for whatever odd reason that may be, regardless I genuinely hope that there isn't reason enough to keep them in business and rolling steady! though, I will add- I just wish there was more stars to give, because if so this would be a shining 8/5

Gregg Mediterranean is a restaurant that focuses on the flavours of the east Mediterranean - think…read moreshawarma and kabob. However, their menu offers a whole lot more and their dine-in experience is elevated beyond an express donair wrap. The Edmonton Journal named Gregg Mediterranean as the Best Mediterranean Restaurant 2020 and I was excited to head out to Sherwood Park to taste their cuisine. Located specifically in the Millennium Ridge Retail Centre, it's a nice shopping plaza with a courtyard area. I can imagine that the summertime would be especially lovely with patios spilling out into the common areas and string lights illuminating the evenings. The inside of the restaurant is very spacious with two large dining areas and a bar. The decor is simple but I was impressed at the easy elegance. The rich, jewel-toned green velvet-wrapped chairs with gold accents caught my eye immediately. Tall hookah pipes were being ported around, their sweet scent filling the air. The vibe is easygoing but there are hints of style and good taste. The staff was all very friendly and happy to answer questions and make suggestions. I could tell that Gregg Mediterranean is a family-run business and they treat their customers very warmly. It wasn't long before many of the tables in the restaurant were occupied with patrons in the mood for a mediterranean feast! Upon getting settled and cozy, the first thing that I did was look to the beverage menu for something interesting to drink. Sadly, there was almost nothing of note. The best drink was a Lebanese Coffee, which is exactly the sort of thing that I was looking for, however I wasn't in the mood for a coffee so late in the day. Apart from that there was only pop and not much else. I decided to forgo the beverages altogether and opted for water. The food menu is a nice size with lots of options but simultaneously doesn't overdo it. There are many appetizers to choose from which gave me the feeling of meze, where you would order a lot of plates to share among the table. The Sujuk (housemade spicy beef sausage) sounded quite special, Grilled Halloumi Cheese is never the incorrect choice, and the Chicken Liver certainly caught my eye as a unique offering. On my first visit I wanted to stick to the guaranteed hits and ordered the Dip Trio (Hummus, baba gannouj, and laban bil khiar - $17.00) as a way to try several different flavours at once. Served with warm triangles of pita, this colourful dip trifecta was a feast for the eyes. I excitedly began to sample each one. The hummus was incredibly smooth with a nice level of garlic and tahini. The baba gannouj was my favourite. This smoked eggplant dip mixed with tahini sauce, lemon juice, and garlic really captured an incredible smokiness that was a delight to eat! And finally the laban bil khiar, which had us asking "is this tzatziki?" This yogurt dip mixed with garlic, cucumber, and dry mint is a Lebanese preparation whereas tzatziki is Greek, however they are similar. It boasted an enjoyable cooling flavour (and was excellent for dunking falafels into later on). I spotted the Garlic Potato ($11.00) on the menu and needed no further explanation. If you know a mediterranean-style potato, you know. Exactly as I had hoped, this mountain of rust-coloured potatoes were topped with a generous amount of garlic sauce. What I didn't expect was that the potatoes would be infused with a bright lemon flavour, a very welcome discovery! Some of the cubes of potato were slightly undercooked but the soft ones were perfection. The garlic sauce did its job to ensure that I shouldn't associate with any other people that day... And I didn't mind at all. I was also curious to try their version of Falafel (Chickpeas mixed with parsley and onion - $12.00). I liked the plating on a bed of vegetables and pickles which added colour and freshness. Each falafel ball had a satisfyingly crunchy shell, revealing a soft interior. Unfortunately, I found the falafel somewhat dry. Served with a dip, this helped to add some much-needed moisture. I also really enjoyed using the laban bil khiar as a dip. Overall, this wasn't a dish that I felt overly excited about. Gregg Mediterranean serves several different salads (I love a Fattoush!) and when it comes to entrees there are an array of platters to choose from. The Mashawee platter appears to be the signature dish and includes various types of meat skewers. I considered ordering a platter like this for a long while but instead wanted to try the Chicken Shawarma Wrap (Served with choice of fries or salad - $16.00) because I really enjoy a wrap like this when it's done well. I wish that there had been more of an option to customize the ingredients used inside of the wrap. I like my chicken shawarma wraps served "old school" with tons of garlic sauce, purple cabbage sauce, tomato, pink pickled turnips, pickles, and parsley. There was no opportunity to make this wrap the type of shawarma that I truly enjoy. Maybe this st

We loved most things on the menu but the standouts were the roasted lamb with potatos. The lamb was so tender, it fell apart with the touch of the fork. The spanakopita was also delicious. Not greasy and full of flavour. The sagonaki cheese was rich and salty. All the dips were amazing. I loved the eggplant one, but they were all really great. The grape rolls were well constructed and delicous and I tried to ignore the amount of oil that sopped up all the rice. The only thing that I wasn't a super fan of was the chicken. The flavours weren't there and the chicken was dry. Beautiful and cozy on the inside. It was jammed packed in there but we were served professionally. Highly recommend it!

I was a little confused at first because the name on the menu wasn't Vish but they said the food they serve is the same. I'd like to come back to try some other menu items.

Lemon potatoes were flavourful and tender, and the salad was fresh and well dressed. My gyro was delicouis and had a generous amount of tender meat. Both the potatoes and soup were fresh and flavourful. The soup did not look too encouraging, but delivered in flavour. Our server was friendly and helpful and seemed proud of their menu and food.

An unassuming little place that demands more attention…read more On my second visit to Chef House (first visit was a lunch good enough that I returned for supper with my wife a few days later), The restaurant is small, very clean, and simply decorated - comfortable but completely unpretentious. We ordered the Chicken Korma, Vindaloo Prawns, Saffron Rice and Vegetable Pakora. The chef (Raymond) prepared each of these dishes with exquisite care. The chicken korma was cooked to perfection--each morsel still tender and juicy, and the sauce was rich and layered with subtle flavours. The vindaloo prawns were the best I've had -- served on a sizzling plater, searing hot, crisp but tender, and bursting with flavour. Even something as simple as a pakora is elevated to a new level. I will be going back (and I also found out they do Skip-theDishes, so my happiness is amplified by the thought of this great food coming to my house). Try this place. You will not regret it :-)

(The naan is definitely homemade, it's amazing) The sauce is perfect! It has a nice kick to it but it's not overwhelmingly spicy. Sooo flavourful, I'll definitely be ordering again. The only downside was the low quality chicken I'm so glad I branched out from my usual go-to restaurants! Highly recommended!

I find with chains that sometimes the food and/or service can vary from location to location but I've been to three OPAs and they are all just as fantastic as the rest. If you like Greek food, or if you want to try Greek food but are too intimidated to go to a full on Greek restaurant, try OPA. I am serious when I say the pita bread and tzatziki are to die for. I could eat it three times a day. Seriously.
