    Salad
    Deborah V.

    We just ate at Mediterranean Fresh Grill and it was fantastic. The food, incredible. Everything we had was fresh and delicious. We even somehow had room to try the homemade gelato, which was so, so good! The service was incredible. When we walked in, there was just one other party, but while we were eating several other groups came in and the place got full! The server handled everything with ease, giving each party personal attention while keeping tabs on all the tables. All in all, a fantastic dining experience!

    Cute place and very nice and clean. Great service, very friendly. Everything we ordered was fantastic in taste and the presentation was beautiful. I can't believe we never tried this before. It's a bit pricy but big portions. We'll be back.

    Truly a hidden gem in a Publix strip mall in Winter Haven. The service was great and the food was very flavorful and fresh. Ordered the lamb shank and for those who don't like lamb - get it. It will change your perspective. Salad was fresh and the rice was flavorful. If you like garlic, try the Toum (Lebanese garlic spread) Beer and wine only with limited selection. The area is surrounded by chain restaurants (Legoland is close), and this is the spot to go for an amazing change of pace.

    Parents dinner out adventure!!! Parents on the loose, we trying new place for sure!!! We stopped by on a Tuesday night semi busy, but not overly busy like I see the weekends may be. The short and quick of it!!! Service was good, but not great for a slower night. The food had its highs and lows. First off this place is pretty pricey, good quality food usually is!!! For the apps: We got two, both were $9.99. The spicy potatoes and the falafel - result = Spicy potatoes were awesome, would get them again in a heart beat. The falafel was good, you get 4 pieces, but they were small in size and a bit over cooked. The plate was beautiful tho, check the pics. For the Entree: We split the combo skewers 28.99 - result = everything was cooked to perfection. The steak was my fav and the chicken was the wife's fav, we both liked the shrimp and kafa as well. It came with 2 sauces: tzatziki and another for the chicken and seafood. The tzatziki was a little creamy and didn't really have body to it. The other sauce that started with a B was very good. All in all this is a nice night out, but it will stay a parents only place simply b/c of the cost. As always this is one persons perspective try it for yourself!!!

    This is my favorite restaurant in Florida! The food is always amazing and well presented. The service is also great and the owner is there and loves to chit chat! There is a lot of parking but on weekends you may need a reservation. The ambiance is lovely. Cannot wait to come back!

    Friendly staff and clean environment. It's a Lebanese chef using fresh ingredients to make delicious dishes. Menu has A wide variety, having options for everyone. The peppers they used are soaked in vinegar and give an extra tang to the dishes. The mint lemonade was so refreshing. Definitely a place to try.

    Really delicious Lebanese food. The food is super fresh and a high quality. My go to is the Mediterranean sampler, which is great for vegetarians.

    Finally got around to trying this place out! Came here during a perfect time--before the lunch rush. Right off the bat this place is clean and well kept, so clean you can basically eat off the floor. Our server was Jose, he was very friendly. He asked us if we've been here before, made menu suggestions. Even made sure to ask us if we had any allergies. He checked in regularly and wasn't under or overwhelming. Super kind and diligent guy. Me and my husband both ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate, it came with house salad and rice. The food was both aesthetically pleasing and delicious! The salad was refreshing, you can tell the produce used was fresh. I was expecting the chicken shawarma to be a piece of chicken breast, however, it came out cut into smaller pieces, which I actually liked, because cutting chicken can be a pain sometimes. The chicken was perfect, not dry or chewy-- it was very flavorful! The chicken and rice did have a bit of a cinnamon taste to it which was different but still very good! We will definitely be back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good Mediterranean cuisine!

    Derek waited on our table and he did an amazing job. Very polite and welcoming. We had the flash fried cauliflower appetizer, fattoush salad, lentil soup, mixed grill 4 skewers. Everything was wonderful. Beautifully decorated with photos taken in Beirut, Lebanon. The chef and owner is Lebanese and he does an amazing job and his kind wife, Cindy runs the front of the house. Highly recommended!

    Located in a strip shopping center near Legoland, this restaurant caught my attention with its outstanding reviews. I started my evening with the recommended mint lemonade; followed by the Lebanese Style Grouper, with a creamy white sauce on the side, served with seasoned rice and a side salad. The dinner was beautifully presented and so delicious; the staff, attentive. A lovely dining experience.

    The first thing you notice here on Yelp is the 4.6 review. Honestly, it's a tad low. 5 stars all day. If you baked in the sun during a long day at Legoland, you'll be in desperate need of the mint lemonade. If you woke up on the right side of the bed and are having a great day, you're still in need of the mint lemonade even if you don't know it. This was our first trip as we are out of town spring breakers doing the Florida thing. Having 2 of us on a keto diet and another on a different one, we are looking for more friendly options during this years vacation. So I pulled up Legoland on the map and just starting snooping around. Right across the street I see Mediterranean (hey, that's one of those healthy diets I hear about) and fresh (hey, that sounds... Fresh) and grill (hey, I love grilled meat). We decided on some spicy wings, hummus for my daughter, and kibbeh. All were excellent. For dinner we did the skewers 4 pack and the beef kafta. Again, both were awesome. Back home, the place we go to has cold onions and tomatoes with the pitas, these were warmed and were outstanding. We also added the side of fresh veggies. These were awesomer. We didn't ask about substitutions so we just took the meals with the seasoned rice. But don't worry, we stuck close to keto and skipped the rice... Not. Bye bye ketosis, and yes, it was worth every grain of rice. This was the awesomest. "That looks good I'll just try one bite." turned into, "I should really stop eating this." which turned to, "Forget it, I'm eating this." Absolutely phenomenal. We were packed so we skipped dessert, but my daughter did butter them up for a bonus to go cup of mint lemonade. Derrick rules!!!! If you live in or visit the area, this just be on your weekly to-do list. Oh yeah.... garlic whip.

    Perfect little gem that was recommended to us by friends who recently visited Legoland! It is located literally right next to legoland beach retreat and across from legoland. In the Publix plaza. We randomly stopped by and thankfully it was not packed at that time. It's small, cozy, nicely decorated, clean and beautiful. Staff immediately greeted us and accommodated us (family of 4: 2 adults and 2 kids ages 7 and 6) without a reservation. We highly recommend to call a head. We took our chances and thankfully there were a few tables available but it does fill up quickly. The live music is a plus. Super calming and enjoyable. Not too loud and perfect for this restaurant. Now let's get a the best part! The food!! We love Mediterranean food and this place just tops it off. Amazing! I ordered the chicken kabob the first night and I was a bit worried because it can come out dry but this place makes it juicy and tender!! The best flavor too. The next night I tried the chicken shawarma and that one was just as good! They both come with delicious side of rice. The rice is unique! Never tried something like it but it was addicting. Garlic whip and Tzatziki dip on the side too. My husband tried the Beef Kafta Kabob. Pretty tasty! He also ordered a side of Gyro bread and omg!! The kids couldn't stop eating it. With a side of hummus you can eat massive amounts of it. So good!! Loved the fact that they had a few side items for kids. We ordered chicken tenders, Mac & cheese, and French fries. However, it wasn't your typical chicken or fries. The chef really stepped it up with the presentation. My kids loved it. Dessert: Assorted Baklava topping to the best meal ever. The staff was great with accommodating all of us and the chefs wife stopped by to greet us and check in on our experience. Everyone was sooo friendly. You definitely need to try it. You won't be disappointed! We came here two nights in a row. Very consistent with the great quality of food. Make sure to stop by if you are near legoland!!

    Great dining experience overall. It's easy to miss this place which is located in a typical strip mall, but it has so much to offer - great authentic food, nice service and pleasant ambience. I grew up in the Middle East, and always look for authentic hummus and falafel and I can confidently say this is one the best quality and authentic I have eaten in the US in many years. If I stayed here for longer I would definitely try more items. Huge plus for understanding and making Vegan dishes and taking care of dietary restrictions.

We ordered the beef shawarma platter, lamb kabobs, and baklava cheesecake. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly.

    Celebrated the last kid obtaining their drivers license, sigh, where does the time go!?…read more New restaurant to us, but we wanted Mediterranean near to the DMV. Glad we went. Restaurant was clean, white table cloths, older decor and booths, but cute. Place was full of two large family groups celebrating the holidays together. Bathroom could use a better cleaning and update. We decided to get a small appetizer plate: Humus, Baba Ghanhuj, Falafel, Labneh, we opted for no grape leaves as we don't prefer them and got extra falafel instead. Portion was great. Our favorites were the Labneh absolutely delicious and perfect taste and texture, humus was seasoned perfectly and falafel was good, but I can't say it was amazing though, something was missing in taste to me. We also ordered the mixed meat entree, portion was large, no way I could have eaten it alone! We shared and still had left overs. The entree came with Kufta Kabob, beef shawarma, chicken kabobs, beef shish kabob, tzatziki, fattoush salad, pita, basmati rice. We had wanted a side of extra tzatziki but instead received a large side dish of tzatziki (we let it go, but neither of us truly enjoyed the tzatziki that much. It was bland to our liking). The one thing we absolutely did not like was the bland, no dressing fattoush salad. It literally had no dressing, no taste, not recommended at all, as the side. So here's what we did like a lot was the chicken kabobs, beef shawarma, basmati rice, beef shish kebabs, kufta kabobs, humus, and loved the Labneh on and with everything. The chicken kabobs were our favorite meat, tender, juicy, seasoned perfectly! We truly enjoyed and savored the Pistachio Baklava, so yummy for dessert! Overall we gave the place a 4 out of 5. We enjoyed our food, service was attentive and friendly. We had to downgrade from a 5 because we did not like the no dressing fattoush salad and the tzatziki tasted bland to us (we are used to the more Greek style). We will be back to try some other dishes!

When the orders arrived they were warm and very flavorful. We were still the only guests. Every table featured a Muslim table decoration that really made no difference to us but eventually we began to feel like we were strangers there. We noticed there were other folks in the kitchen and the waitress was not actually preparing our food. It was tasty and was spiced a little different than I have had before. The waitress brought our check on a portable card reader and I left our usual tip. We both felt a little out of place. The Yelp reviews were very positive but based on my search for middle eastern food in an area we have never been to, I was hoping for a more traditional food and service.

The call was answered by an automated service that seemed determined to not let me talk to anyone. Over and over it told me I must order online. It texted me the link to the clover app for ordering. I placed the order with the app which told me pick up would be in 25 minutes. Then the odyssey began. I got a call from a phone number without caller id. I called back and was told Istanbul Grill is backed up and it would take an extra 20-30 minutes. So I arrived at the restaurant 1 hour after ordering and was told they had no idea when the order would be ready. I finally got my order about 1 hour 45 minutes after placing the order. While I understand they are trying to eliminate staff to take and track orders, the whole process and extra wait makes it worse since there doesn't seem to be any feedback to Clover about extra time required. Once I finally got the food and took it home, we enjoyed every bit of it. The baba and lavas was fantastic and the lahmacun was good. I considered ordering family platters, but did not because they all contained chicken. I ordered lamb based dinners which were also great. A single dinner is enough for 2 adults in our experience. I observed most tables were taking home food. So overall food was great. Ordering and pickup were quite bad.
