The reviews and photos of the food looked great, so I decided to give it a try. The food here is GREAT! The guy working the front was awesome and gave me a heads-up that the portions were pretty large, especially since I was planning to add fries. I originally wanted to order the chicken tikka kabob plate, but he let me know it would take a while to prepare and recommended the shawarma instead, which he could get out to me right away. He was absolutely spot-on with his recommendation. I was starving, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted incredible! Great service, generous portions, and delicious food. I'll definitely be back next year when I return to town for Gravel Worlds!

Loved this place! The staff were so nice and welcoming. We tried the baklava, beef shawarma and…read morechicken kebabs. I personally loved the beef shawarma and their garlic sauce is so good you could probably drink it. Their rice is perfectly cooked and seasoned. The chicken kebabs were perfectly cooked, they were moist. They gave us pita bread as well. The baklava was a perfect sweet treat. There is a bunch of seating, they have those beautiful glass lanterns and it's just a great casual place to get some delicious food.

We live right near Mediterranean Bistro and had been there about ten years ago, but then forgot it…read morewas there for some reason. Recently, we were trying to go to Rookie's Bar for a quick bite, but it must have been thirsty Thursday because they were PACKED. But who was right next door and reminded us how great they were? Mediterranean Bistro! First off, the decor is pretty cute. There are flowers and art everywhere. There was a fountain at some point, but it looks like it wasn't working anymore. We don't come to a restaurant simply for the decor though, so on to the more important things - the service and food! Our server was wonderful and checked on us so much. The owner was even there when we were dining and we got to speak with her (she was so nice!) They have great quality foods too that are filling but not too heavy. We started with the vegetarian lavosh, which was YUM. It was a perfectly crispy bread with cheese melted on it, and topped with tomatoes, black and green olives, artichokes, and cilantro. Very tasty and it didn't need any meat on it, it was so flavorful. Next we had the falafel with hummus (I recently went flexitarian, so 90% vegetarian), and it was divine as falafel goes! Crispy outside and soft warm inside, with lots of tzatziki sauce for dipping. Great snack, or meal if paired with another small item. And pair with it, I did. I also got the barley soup in a cup and it was warm and filling, like a soup that would be perfect for a chilly Fall day. My husband had the shish kabob, which he loved. He had been annoyed at the Rookies situation but the lavish put him righ back in a good mood. And for dessert, we had both the tiramisu and baklava. Both were expertly made and deliciously sweet. We took most of those home and ate them over the next few days. Love when you can do that. With a smattering of many different items, I can honestly say this dining experience was great from beginning to end!

We started with the appetizer sampler and it was amazing! It has everything you want and things you didn't know you needed! The hummus and tabbouleh are wonderful but the stars of the plate are the pita and the beet salad for me. The beets are in a creamy dressing and just so craveable. The hummus is nice and smooth, the tabbouleh has so much herb and is so fresh. I only wished for a bit more lemon. The baba ganoush was really good but was a bit over smoky so a little bit at a time was good. The cucumber dip was amazing as well. We then proceeded to the main event - salads, fries, and falafel. Caesar (entree size only) and side dinner salad with a sherry vinaigrette were nice but nothing special. Then the French fries and falafels... fresh and hot!!! Crispy! Fluffy!! And when we broke into the falafels, we were so excited to see GREEN!!! They had HERBS inside!! And the tahini sauce on the side was so delicious. I want that for my salad dressing AND dipping sauce for the fries (although the cucumber dip is amazing on them too!) so much food for two girls so many boxes were needed. It was closing time therefore dessert was togo- baklava. Large triangle. Very delicious. We sat at the bar and I believe we were served by the Lady of the House (Owner). She was incredibly welcoming and we had a joyful conversation about kids and good foods. Oh... did I mention they offer Armenian wine? Yup. Red was my choice and although it was a little sweet, it went well with all the flavors of our meal. Maybe next time I'll try the white....

We got the pork belly kebab too. Good char on the fat which was pleasantly offset by the acidic salad that came with. They had these onions with red seasoning on them that I couldn't get enough of. Service was great and very clean.

She started with the Ukrainian Borsch, I the Lagman soup. Both were fantastic! I then moved to the chicken kabob, and I must say, it was the most tender chicken I have had. Love the spicy flavors. She had the vegetable kabob snd enjoyed it as much as I did the chicken. I would love to see the operating hours change a bit, so they were open a bit more often!

We had the sambusa, Pilav, and the Lulya kebab. I was hesitant to order the sambusa, because I've…read morehonestly never had a good one. But, my bff wanted them . I was clearly wrong, there is a such thing as a perfect sambusa. The bread was thin enough to taste it, but not so bready that the bread was the star. The meat was chopped steak not ground meat and the sambusa was stuffed full, 4 of them is a whole meal. And the filling was full of flavor, layers of flavor, it alone is a reason to eat there. Also the kebab was served with a perfectly dressed fresh tomato, red onion and cucumber salad and the pilav was served with a perfectly dressed lettuce, red onion and tomato salad. The Pilay was pretty good, the meat was a bit dry, but the flavors in the rice was on point and the garbanzo beans were creamy and flavorful, not slightly sandy and garbanzos can be. They definitely did not come from a can. That kebab, whew THAT KEBAB, was off the chain and they served it with a red sauce that seemed simple but flavorful with a little kick, I think I ate more bread than anything because I was dipping my bread in that red sauce. The service was friendly and the decor was comfortable and welcoming and colorful. I will definitely be back. And it was affordable, 2 entrees, a side, order of bread and green tea was $47 before tip.

He sent my family spices one year, and always brings me extra soup or hummus. This is my favorite meal of all time. It is mainly him; being the host, bartender, server, chef all at once.

This is not the first restaurant I visited with the name Amsterdam falafel, which is kind of an…read moreidiom. So this place had an impression in my mind to live up to. However, I came seeking something that was both fresh and local as well as ethnically and culturally distinctive, and it was a winner. The menu is marked for vegan and gluten-free concerns. Falafel is available as a platter, a wrap, or a salad. I opted for a salad. I appreciated the toppings, but I also appreciated the ability to customize. I opted to stick with everything (since they don't do cucumbers like a lot of places) and found the chickpea and carrot salad and red cabbage to contribute a significant texture and flavor variety. There were only two falafel balls, albeit large ones, but the overall result made for a nice light meal. I made it a bit heavier of course by ordering fries, which were made freshly and tossed in curry-flavored spice that delivered a mouthwatering aroma that elevated the fries themselves. A little slotted stick was given as a utensil to pick up the fries, which I started by using and then stopped when the fries cooled down. Overall, I could not ask for much more in a falafel place. The drink selection didn't wow me, so I just got a water.

I ordered a butternut squash soup that reeked of potent apple cider vinegar. There was barely any texture to the soup.It was basically thin broth consistency. I showed a staff member what I was not happy about and she tried making up excuses about a heavy pourer for the apple cider vinegar. I politely asked for a refund or was done at least. I also unfortunately ordered the so called Doner kebob which had no beef and 2 small slivers of dry used gyro meat dried around the edges with yellow hue. The salad it was in was adequate. The vegetables seemed fresh.Only 1 ounce of each of 2 sauced provided At 15 dollars. Poor service rude staff and even lower quality food. Save yourself the trip and avoid it on doordash as well.
