    I remember coming here when they first opened and I wasn't too entire sold on my meal. It was just okay but it didn't wow me. Haven't eaten it since. Fast forward to a few years later and oh my goodness. This is my absolute favorite weekend meal. I don't know what has changed but it is absolutely delicious. No complaints. Everything is good. I guess it just depends on what your combo preferences is but you definitely should try it. Very similar to Cava. The setup is the same. But in all honesty, it's better than Cava. Mayd has way more options. Highly recommend.

    What can I say. It's a chipotle type of place, with Mediterranean food. So freaking good! The roasted veggies, shrimp, and cauliflower are my favorite! Different types of toppings, but my base is always Mayd Mix and brown rice. The service here is super quick and everyone is always so nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place has a nice chill environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Food: love the food here! They have fresh ingredients and are not stingy with the protein they serve for the bowls. The cauliflower and tritip sandwich are great options but I love making my own bowl! Service: fast, chipotle or butterfish style. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: chill and clean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love this place. Highly recommend

    I always build my own bowl and got brown saffron rice with quinoa and tri-tip. The tri-tip is flavorful and pairs really well with all the toppings. The almond tempura cauliflower is a must, I just recently started adding this on and it is perfectly crispy with great texture and flavor. For toppings, I like adding the red pepper hummus, avocado hummus, and tzatziki, along with sweet potatoes and chickpeas. Everything tastes fresh and well-prepared, and the combination of flavors and textures is perfect for me. I consistently get 2-3 servings out of one bowl, which makes it an even better value!

    This place is like no other. I am very excited to go every single time. I enjoy creating my own green and grains bowl. The hummus and protein options are delicious and I love the cauliflower the most. I recommend getting pita slices as well. The servings are very filling and can easily stretch to two meals.

    Been wanting to try this spot for awhile after hearing it was basically A better Cava. Overall it did live up to my expectations. They have so much variety from veggie options, sauces, and crunch and different meat options you usually wouldn't see in a fast food type of spot. Sad that they limit you to a certain amount but I feel like trade off is the quality. I feel like it's more affordable than cava too.

    Man i don't even know where to start in my opinion best Mediterranean food in town but everyone tells me to try the one downtown so we'll see but until then I could eat this everyday with any protein either chicken shrimp or tri tip Everything is always fresh and the fastest service def a great place if you're looking for something delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is always nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I always love to try the new fresh juices they have too!

    Garlic Parmesan Fries

    My friend told me this was the way better equivalent of Cava so I had to check it out! I got the Garlic Parm Fries and the Triple M. Personally, the Garlic Parm Fries were a 7/10. I thought it could genuinely use more garlic but the fries were crispy for a to go order. The Triple M was pretty tasty and it might have just converted me to loving sweet onions even more! It's a pretty big bowl and honestly I'd say it's good for 2 servings. Items are well priced and I would definitely come back again!

    Tasty, filling, flavorful. A build-your-own bowl has plenty of options you don't see in most fast casual places. The Mayd Mix (kale, radicchio, romaine) holds up better than the arugula which wilts in this hefty bowl. Loved the lentils, hummus, tzatziki, and smoked harissa spread. Roasted veggies as a protein option was a mix of red peppers and perhaps parsnips and onions- not sure but it was tasty. Avocado is worth the upchage. Sumac radishes, pickled onions, crumbled feta are all good toppings. Garlic sauce and lemon tahini sauces were both fine but mild flavors, but I'd add something spicy next time. The only thing I wouldn't order again are the fried falafel croutons- they did add nice crispy texture, but not my style. I'd pick a different option for crunch next time. Bowl size is generous and plenty for a filling meal. Lentil soup is thick and topped with feta and harissa which kick it up a notch. Naakos (naan + taco) are a fun idea but the ingredients I chose maybe weren't the best. I barely noticed any smokiness in the baba. Between the roasted market veggies, white bean salad, and greek vinaigrette, the whole thing was just a bit wet and messy to eat. But maybe with a different combination of ingredients. Unless you are sharing, you don't need this on top of a bowl.

    This restaurant is similar to Chipotle in that you load up your bowl with ingredients you want to eat. The number of ingredients to choose from can be overwhelming. I ended up going with whatever the server recommended, which meant I loaded up my bowl with a lot of different ingredients. Every ingredient individually was tasty, which is why I'm rating it so high. However, I think by loading up the bowl with so many ingredients and it mixes together (unintentionally because everything is layered or placed next to other ingredients), the result didn't taste great. I think if I were to come back, I'd probably order just a few ingredients that complement each other rather than load the bowl up. I can't fault the restaurant because I agreed to load it up.

    Food was fresh and delicious. We got a custom bowl and easy street bowl. Both were great. Portions are huge we were definitely full. Service was great super helpful and informational. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place, very clean and bathrooms are clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be back!

    I absolutely love Mayd! It's one of those hidden gems that I can't believe isn't all over the nation. Every time I come here, the bowls are consistently fresh, flavorful, and delicious. They've never disappointed me. The quality of their ingredients really stands out. Their greens and grains bowls are a perfect balance, with flavorful basmati rice, vibrant greens (I love the arugula and their house "Mayd mix"), and numerous variety of toppings to mix and match. The lemon chicken is my usual go-to but the red meat options are absolutely worth the upgrade. The lamb meatballs and tri-tip are both incredible! I also appreciate how efficient and friendly the staff are. Even if they run out of a protein, they get a fresh batch ready quickly and keep you moving by letting you build your bowl in the meantime. Service is usually fast, and I rarely have to wait long whether I dine in or order to-go. Inside, the space is clean, modern, and inviting. It feels more like a polished chain restaurant in the best way, not at all like a one-off spot. Between the atmosphere, the service, and the food quality, Mayd feels like it should be everywhere by now. If you're looking for a healthy meal that doesn't compromise on flavor, this is hands down one of the best Mediterranean spots around!

    Are any of your meats halal?

    What's the difference between farm mix and Mayd mix?

    One of the tomato salads has a kick but I can't tell which one?

    The Tomato Cucumber Salad is the one with the kick, the Heirloom Tomato Salad is more of a mild but flavorful summer topping.

    Do you have soup?

    They do carry soup during the fall and winter months!

    Firstly, I cam from Oakland to an appointment and asked a friend of mine for a great place to eat…read morefor lunch while in Fresno. And so, the rice was so delicious, lamb so succulent that it almost melted in my mouth. The server was so kind and sweet, even with a jam packed midday lunch crowd. Everyone there seemed like they were being treated like family and like they eat there all the time. Aside from the above, which would easily be enough for a positive review here, there's even more. As I rushed out of the restaurant, I left my credit card. In my haste to be the 3-hour traffic back up to the Bay Area, I completely forgot until I got halfway back home, stopped for gas, and realized I couldn't pay for my gas with my card. I called them and luckily the same gal who was my server picked up and remembered me, confirmed she had my CC and told me to come back and get it. I told her I was back up in Oakland and asked a HUUUUUUGE Favor of them, to mail my CC back to me to save me the 6 hour round trip drive and ALL the headache I'd incur of getting a new card and having to redo all of the auto-pay set for countless bills with a new card number. Guess what? They did it! They took time from their busy lives, put a customer's needs first and saw past my human error and so generously sent my card to my home. Places like this family owned, down home place restore my faith in humanity and make me wish more places like this existed all over. "Thank you" doesn't even do justice for my gratitude to these folks. Can't wait to sit and dine with you all again. Huge thanks Phoenician Garden Folks

The falafel was flavorful and the chicken shawarma was moist and delicious. One issue we had though, My friend saw a wax pepper on one of the plates and asked if she can have another one. The food runner came back and brought a side dish of peppers and a side dish of pickled beets. Our server then comes out and asks whose tab he should put that on. We were a little confused because they didn't mention it would he a charge and she only asked for 1 extra not an entire bowl + a bowl of something she didn't ask for. But she took the charge and it was about $5 combined for both, a charge that wasn't prefaced beforehand. Nonetheless, the food was amazing and our server was very sweet. The restaurant was packed so it's nice to see they are busy for a local business!

    This original location remains my recommended spot for Mediterranean food. Many Mediterranean…read morerestaurants in Fresno County are Armenian-owned, while only a small handful--like this family-run restaurant--specialize in Lebanese cuisine. Lebanese food is widely considered among the best expressions of Mediterranean cooking due to its vibrant use of fresh ingredients, particularly herbs, lemon, garlic, and olive oil, along with a strong emphasis on healthy, plant-based, and grilled dishes. It offers diverse, shareable, and nutrient-dense options such as tabbouleh, hummus, and falafel, making it both flavorful and nutritious. I always enjoy dining at Golden Grill because they exemplify Lebanese cuisine so well. Their dishes highlight fresh herbs like mint and parsley, along with garlic and lemon juice, rather than relying heavily on spices. The result is a light, refreshing, and aromatic flavor profile that feels both vibrant and balanced. The kebabs are excellent. The grilled cubes of beef, chicken, and kafta (ground beef and lamb) skewers are flavorful, tender, and juicy, topped with herbs and grilled to perfection. They carry a subtle smokiness and savory aroma, and the meats are beautifully charred with vibrant color. Their pita and saj sandwiches are also very well done. Each sandwich is warm and carefully assembled, forming a sturdy pocket filled with high-quality ingredients. They combine savory meats (or falafel and vegetables), creamy sauces, and crunchy pickles and onions into a balanced bite. The bread holds generous fillings without collapsing while still being tender enough to bite through easily. The pocket opens cleanly, creating the perfect pouch for the ingredients. For a small restaurant with limited seating that appears to receive many to-go orders, the presentation for dine-in guests is especially thoughtful. The dishes are served on clean white ceramic plates and trays, with the food carefully arranged and portions balanced. It is simple yet elegant and visually appealing. Golden Grill also captures the Lebanese mezze-style dining experience. As someone of Korean heritage, I appreciate this approach, since it is similar to how Korean meals are served with many shared dishes that provide variety in every meal. Some of the shared plates include Lebanese staples like hummus, falafel, tabbouleh, baba ghanouj, and fresh flatbread. Everything here tastes fresh and well-prepared, with distinct textures and aromatic flavors. The signature entrées come with two cold appetizers. The hummus is silky smooth, a velvety blend of garbanzo beans and tahini that almost melts in your mouth. The baba ghanouj is creamy, garlicky, and finished with olive oil. The tabbouleh is bright and balanced with lemon juice, garlic, and a generous drizzle of olive oil that ties together the citrusy and earthy flavors. The restaurant itself is clean, with tables and chairs wiped down quickly after guests leave. Service is friendly, welcoming, and helpful when placing orders. Prices are also reasonable, especially considering many competing Mediterranean restaurants do not place the same emphasis on presentation or on creating a mezze-style dining experience at no additional cost. While some may prefer other Mediterranean cuisines, I personally enjoy the fresh, light, and diverse flavors that Lebanese food offers. Golden Grill's citrus-forward dishes and extensive mezze options make it one of my favorite Mediterranean spots.
