    Grilled Chicken Salad - delicious!!

    The interior is beautifully decorated and you feel comfy able. We LOVED the lavosh! Had it last night as an appetizer and we're still talking about it! The Grilked Chicken Salad with their house dressing was delicious. Everything on that plate was delicious! The only negative I can say is that we feel embarrassed wanting to go back after less than 24 hours!

    I really wanted to like Mediterranean bistro...especially because there's not a ton of Mediterranean places to eat out west. The service was fine, nothing memorable. The food was decent, but not memorable either. My biggest complaint was that a lot of the food was bland. The rice was almost flavorless, and both of the meats I ordered lacked true flavor. It looked like there was plenty of seasoning on there, but honestly it didn't taste like much. The highlight of the meal was the baklava. It did taste a little mealy, but on the hole it was the best thing I ate the whole night. The ambience needs some updating. It kind of looks like a cross between Persian and Mediterranean inside, but all of the interiors and decorations could use some TLC. Maybe just an a dining room refresh? Everything looked well used.

    Mediterranean bistro is an Omaha classic, tucked away right off 120th and blondo behind the gas station and next to hurts donuts. FOOD : the food is nice to have as a healthier option with loads of flavors compared to the standard American cuisine. I got the chicken kabob with hot sauce and substituted veggies for the rice. The chicken was honestly not great, it was pretty greasy and chewy, I caught a bone which I'm never thrilled about. To be honest as years have gone by, I really like this place less and less. As for the veggies, they were alright, nothing really special about them they were just chard and that was that. Overall kind of a waste of money if I'm being really honest, much prefer El Basha or other Mediterranean spots in Omaha. TIPS / THINGS TO KNOW : if you're doing takeout they automatically add a 10% gratuity to your order. I have had issues here in the past where they have added A lot of money on come time to pay that was unnecessary, so make sure you know what you're paying for and you don't go without checking the receipt. They also add tax to each plate instead of to the order overall, so another thing to note. Also, they don't offer sides of hummus unless you're paying $10 extra dollars for it which sucks compared to other Mediterranean spots in town. Lastly, The menu prices they have online are different than the prices they have in store, everything is about a dollar more expensive when you go inside. Unfortunately this will probably be the last time I ever go here, it just solidified that I truly don't love the spot if I'm being honest. Not only is the way they charge sketchy, but the food really just isn't as good as it used to be.

    I was excited to try Mediterranean Bistro. My boyfriend has been telling me how the Chicken Ala Pomegranate reminds him of something his grandmother used to make. Of course, I had to try something different. I went with their house specialty, kabobs with a side salad. I truly preferred the side salad over the meal. The salad dressing is delicious. The kabobs were ok, a little bland. I liked the steak over the chicken. The overall service was excellent. The service was quick and efficient. Quick callout. If you are looking at the menu online, it automatically defaults to the lunch menu. If you are going for dinner, make sure you click the dinner menu. The items are slightly different and the cost is more for dinner.

    Perfect for lunch! They have an option to get the chicken kabob in a wrap which was delicious! Came with perfectly cooked potatoes.

    Great food with large portions fairly priced. I forgot how much I love this place. Kids chicken and rice kabob was an instant favorite.

    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.

    I searched Yelp for unusual restaurants and this place popped up. I had never tried borscht so I…read morewent. The borscht was still cooking so I had the soup that starts with an "L." Super delicious! I had the sambusa and it was tasty too. I will be back for borscht and lamb kabob.

    What a find this was!!!! Coming out of the ir sauna (see previous review), we were STARVED!!…read moreFalafel was on our minds and Omaha Kebabs was our destination. PERFECT place to replenish!! 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....
