Do NOT waste your money at this establishment! I ordered the chicken schwarma pita - dry, bland chicken flesh with a strange aftertaste. The rice pilaf side dish was equally bad. In an attempt to salvage the meal, I asked the manager if some sort of sauce was available. Sure, he said, for $1.06. Now, under no circumstances will I pay even more to doctor up a crappy meal! On my way to the trash to deposit what is possibly the worst meal that I've had in months, I spoke to the cashier. She's clearly heard the story many times before, because she asked me whether the schwarma was dry. I'm just mad that she didn't warn me on the dl. Again, please don't waste your money here folks. You can thank me later. read more

Mediterranean Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I never expect airport establishments to be top notch, only because they apply the "hostage" approach - you are in the airport, no where else to grab a bite. And personnel, if not motivated, tends to be pretty much flat on providing customer service. Had a Greek salad, and although I would have loved a yogurt dressing, it came with little cucumbers and tomatoes. A slice of pita bread would have made a nice touch, and it will not cost an arm and a leg to add. Price is definitely steep for what you get - $13. And they did not have Baklava, which I was craving for. read more

There's a reason this place has such harsh ratings. It starts with a capitol 'p' for PRICE. I ordered the Falafel platter for breakfast ($11) which ended up being 5 falafel cakes (flavorful) with and handful of pickles, tomatoes and iceburg lettuce pieces. It was a sad excuse for "Mediterranean" food especially in a city filled with top notch authentic Med cuisine. I probably would have opted for three stars had the customer service not been so lackluster. There was an "off" feeling at this business. "Off" meaning the staff seemed to take very little pride in their work. Don't get me wrong, I was so happy to see a Mediterranean option in the airport. I hope they'll make a few tweaks to kick it up a notch. Again, the falafel was't too shabby. read more

This was a weird place to end up trying my first falafel. Not because it was in an airport, but because it was absolutely not what I ordered. Not even close. I was the only one there, so it's like they were busy. Too bad I was in a hurry and couldn't make a correction. I am certain, however, that I was served the most bland, dry Mediterranean food of my life. The pita bread was tough and rubbery. The falafel itself was so dry, I'd questioned if it had sat out for an hour and been reheated. My fries were just above room temperature and unsalted. Fifteen minutes later, my friend came back with a gyro and said "Whoa what the hell is this?" The meat (which had no lamb, surprisingly), was cut off in large chunks rather than shaved. The tzatziki sauce is lame, and applied far too conservatively. This place doesn't even try. My airline food from Air France was more enjoyable. This place was a total waste. read more

Usually when I'm in an Airport and am looking for something to do between layovers and flights I get to walk around and check out the local food spots. I decided to check out the Mediterranean grill to see if there was anything good. The look of the restaurant was fresh. It had a Mediterranean feel and made me forget that I was in an airport. I got seated rather quickly and was greeted by my server. She seemed to be rather new and did not remember all of the prices for different beers. Eventually I got a 22 ounce draft fat tire for around 9$. I let her know my flight was in around an hour so I would need to be in and out. I ordered the lamb burger with sweet potato fries and it took around 15-20 minutes for it to come out. Frankly I was not too impressed, the patty was somewhat small and wasn't that flavorful although the sauce made up for it a bit. The sweet potato fries were good but you could tell that they were from a frozen bag. I ended up spending around 24$ for my meal and was on my way. There are probably better airport restaurants here. read more

This is a review for the to go section located next to the restaurant. So gross. I ordered a chicken gyro which was far from appetizing. The chicken was stale without any flavor. The garlic sauce was sparse making this sandwich even less edible. Sandwich and fries $9. Reasonably priced for airport food but I'd rather save my money and go hungry. Service was fast and friendly, I'll give them that. I did order a premade parfait from the fridge to wash out the taste of the gyro (which I only took three bites of). $4.50. I would opt for that as a snack instead, if u need something to hold you over. read more

Mediterranean Grill - Chicken gyro $9 - Mediterranean Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

The hummus and tabouli are very good here (a nice change in an airport." Many other factors are simply SHAMEFUL. Instead of pita bread, terrible pita chips are served: they are thick, dry, and oily. Portion size is infuriating. The fact that one leaf of lettuce (photo attached) torn in pieces and drenched in dressing is a "house salad" for 4.95 is morally wrong. read more

Mediterranean Grill - 5 dollars for THIS? - Mediterranean Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Can Yelp please provide option for 0 star from going forward? This place is straight up awful and they are proud of it. My chicken kabob was rock hard solid with tasteless sauce. This is def the WORST Mediterranean food at its finest. My fries was undercooked with no seasoning. Fine, I shouldn't expect Michelin level good quality but aiming for garbage is just unacceptable. Oh the service, besides not hearing "Fu** you" in the setence but it was written all over their face. Took them sometimes to acknowledge me then their attitude made me that I was guility to interrupt their "relax" time. If you don't want to work, why open then? read more

Two things are certain in my life: I pass through a lot of airports, and I absolutely adore Mediterranean food (I'm definitely an armchair expert in that department). However, I still haven't learned my lesson that Mediterranean food at the otherwise not-so-bad Detroit Metro Airport is non-existent. Why, oh why, do I keep expecting something more from such a poor excuse for a Mediterranean restaurant? I mean, Dearborn is so close - and with some of the finest Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food money can buy - how can this place be so far-off? Okay, prices aren't terrible (even for airport grub) and service was surprisingly pleasant and just about as efficient as it needed to be for table service on a busy weekday evening. I presume that if you need food in a jiffy, that you aren't doing sit-down dining in an airport anyway. So, for the food, there's any and all iteration of vaguely-Mediterranean food. Gyros that I'm sure aren't from a spit, pitas that aren't warmed, and hummus that will neither impress nor offend. For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to order one of my favorite items, vegetarian grape leaves, as a sandwich platter. Much to my surprise/chagrin, the limp and sad grape leaves were rolled inside a cold piece of pita bread that was dribbled with a smattering of hummus, served alongside a plateful of cold fries. $12...well, it's an airport. read more

Mediterranean Grill - An interesting concept...a cold pita wrap with grape leaves, a smidge of hummus and a tomato. Hmm... - Mediterranean Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Decent airport food. Had a falafel sandwich which came with big fat fries. Service was good.

If you are a Mediterranean food lover please don't visit this place. This is absolutely terrible food and service. I love Kebab and Mediterranean rice. With establishments like these they make people hate food and service. After paying the $$$ for this food I feel like hitting the sandwich on their face. read more

I bought a fruit cup in my desperate state and realized after that it was at least 3 days old (from the sticker on the bottom of the cup) and the fruit in it had been questionably washed at best. The Detroit airport doesn't have a whole lot of rave options for food, and as far as service goes, this place was about as disgruntled as you'd expect. The woman in front of me in line forgot her drink at the register and the girl working the register pointed at the drink and quietly mouthed, 'that's yo drink', while watching the customer walk away. Making as little effort as possible to alert the person. I ended up giving up my spot in line to run it over to the woman, then got back in line to purchase my cup of old fruit. After I made my purchase, the girl at the counter just walked away with a full line going out of the storefront waiting. I realized then that I didn't have a fork to eat my food with, so I went back to grab one, only the container with silverware was empty. I waited a minute and the girl never came back and the other person working just stared off from behind the juicer. I ended up reaching over the counter by the register to where I saw the packs of silverware to get it for myself. The employees seemed like they were doing forced community service more than anything else. I was half tempted to get a fresh juice but their juicer looked all kinds of dirty so I stuck with the old fruit cup... Which, at second glance, was only semi-dirty. I should have turned back as soon as I saw some of the stomach-turning food pics that flash on their menu board (specifically the nachos, which look like someone just dumped a partial spoonful of that congealed canned gelatin cheese on broken chips), but it was my last option before my flight took off so I panicked and just went for it. read more

I was whelmed by Mediterranean Grill. By that I mean I was not overwhelmed or underwhelmed. It was ok. It was JUICED when we came in for lunch. Likely because there aren't a ton of lunch options in that terminal. I had a chicken wrap, which was alright. They had large local craft beers, which I enjoyed. Our waitress was busting her butt, but it seemed like they were understaffed. Fair lunch option in the Delta terminal. read more

This is the second worst restaurant I have ever been to. The hummus tasted like mildly-hummus-flavored cottage cheese. The pita was stale. I wish I'd tasted it before I ordered my meal, because I would have just left. But instead I ended up with a chicken gyro sandwich. More stale bread, lukewarm chunks of chicken, an unidentified white cream, and an enormous number of pickles. My waitress was nice. It's not her fault the food us revolting. read more

Do not eat here. No matter how bad you may be jonesing. Do not do it! Disgusting. Chicken shwarma full of grease. Flavorless. The only sauce was the saucy ass attitude from the short stocky girl with the braids. Asked for tzatkiki sauce. Got garlic sauce. Asked for rice. Got stale flavorless fries because she did not want to go to the back and get chips. Asked for the chips in the front and she said she would charge me. REALLY BISH?! You wanna penalize me for your laziness? Well dayum Detroit Airport got some muthaf**** saucy ass CSRs all over D terminal. Stay away. Far far away. read more

The service was good - the workers were very nice. However, the positives end there. I asked for a medium burger and grilled veggies. The burger was completely raw inside and the vegetables had not been properly washed. I was grinding on dirt/sand with every bite I took of them. read more

I don't understand the bad reviews. I fly through dtw at least once a month. I hit the grill every time my layover allows. They have the healthiest options in the airport. My service has always been good. Today for breakfast I had the healthy omelette and coffee. Both arrived quickly and HOT. My server was nice and not overly in my space which I appreciate. It's an airport I want, good, friendly and most of all efficient. I get that every time here. read more

Food was clearly just reheated/ microwaved and not fresh at all. Employee and manager were VERY rude and did not understand how to ring in an airline food voucher. STAY FAR AWAY read more

Airport restaurant. Very pricy and the food is not very good at all. The service is mediocre at best as well.

I understand that, this is a restaurant in an airport; therefore, I was not expecting an exceptional meal but a decent one. The place looked promising. I was promptly seated and the waiter did try to serve well but he was NOT 100% successful in his attempt. He brought me my meal without silverware, I had to get his attention to get a refill for my drink, and he assumed I was done and brought me the check before asking if I wanted dessert or wanted anything else. Onto the meal, If only this lamb burger tasted as good as it looked I would have been set. The burger was overcooked and the char grilled marks gave a bitter note to the patty. The tzatziki sauce was bland; to be fair the bun was on point though. Once I finally got the waiter's attention I was able to order dessert. I was not leaving without having some baklava and my friends that saved the day; it was buttery, sweet, nutty, and flaky as it should. read more

I stopped for breakfast and it was great. I had the feta and spinach omelette crescent with the Greek smashed potatoes. The omelette was light and fluffy and the seasoning on the potatoes reminded me of Greece. The coffee was good and an ample size. My waitress was very attentive. I only wished they served other teas besides chai. read more

Mediterranean Grill - Breakfast sandwich with the wait. - Mediterranean Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

So airport food is hardly ever ah-mazing, but I'm more shocked by the service at this place above all else. Considering that people are trying to make flights, fast service is pretty critical within an airport. That said: I think this was the worst service I've received at a sit-down place. After seating ourselves (as the sign indicates) we wait for 15 min for anyone to notice us. All the waitresses have laser like focus on looking ahead and serving only their own tables. After becoming frustrated that other patrons who arrived after us received food, I wildly wave my arms to catch the attention of someone passing by. This waitress (long blonde haired) was nice enough to take our order and remind the actual waitress that we exist in her zone. I honestly think this waitress didn't want us in her zone. Anyways, the food is nothing special despite the diverse menu. I had the beef shish kebab sandwich, in which the meat was slightly burnt (would've been passable without that quality). The thick steak fries needed salting but definitely fills you up! The beef kafte (ground meat) sandwich tasted better, so this might be a good option if you choose to avoid the chicken like the other reviewers suggest. Felt like even paying our bill was going to take awhile (keep in mind that this is after lunchtime and the place wasn't packed), so we leave cash and hightail it out. I had high hopes for this place, but obvi I should really listen to my fellow yelpers. read more

I'm not sure I've ever given a single star before but here's the breakdown of my recent first experience with the DTW Detroit airport A-Concourse restaurant: - The Bloody Mary was the bright spot and I give it a 4 stars. - The chicken gyro was really bad. I give that zero stars. I'm picky about meat but think gyro meat is pretty hard to mess up. This was chunks, not shaved meat, and it was all chewy tendons and fat, no real chicken or normal texture. Plus, there was no lettuce or tomato on this gyro, simply chicken and sauce. For $9 that's pretty weak. - The side salad I ordered was only $5 and wasn't too bad but the lettuce was wilted or possibly freezer burn in places. I saved some to put on my gyro since it didn't come with lettuce (see above and photo attached). I give that 2-3 stars. - The price overall for this mediocre meal (I ate 2/3 of the salad, most of the pita dipped in tzatziki, and drank the whole bloody) was about $30 but $11 of that was the Bloody Mary. I give the cost/value 2-3 stars since it was the airport, otherwise I'd have been really disappointed. - The servers were overworked and slow, which I give 2 stars. Considering what drew me into this place (the promise of Mediterranean food) was the low spot in my experience I'm giving it a one star overall. read more

Hm. Airport food, but then, does that mean it has to be terrible? Rick Bayless runs an airport restaurant in Chicago that's actually pretty good. This place, however, is more bar than bistro, and what's really sad is that on this particular day with my particular meal (the chicken schwarma), the flavors weren't . . . bad. They were just bland. They could have been good if the whole thing wasn't rushed or over-saturated with oil. The chicken also seemed a bit old, and I was ordering at 11 AM, so it's not like the food should have been sitting out for a long time. read more

Came here for a quick bite before departing and was pretty disappointed. The falafel pita was dry with no sauce on it. It came with no hummus or garlic spread unlike every other place I go to. I got chips assuming I would get a bag I could take on the plane. Instead I got a box full of broken crinkle cut potato chips. To top it off it cost 14 dollars... read more

Ugh, I hate having to give a place two stars, but this place really deserves them. The menu looked great with a nice variety of Greek dishes and even shrimp! But I should have listened to my fellow yelpers. I ordered the falafel plate and a glass of water - simple enough, eh? I received a line of falafel balls on a giant bed of slightly withered romaine, with a few squidgy cucumbers, some tomato that tasted of chemicals and some very brown and old-looking pickles. The glass of water had floaties in it. I ate the falafel balls, which weren't bad (but it's hard to make a falafel ball badly), picked through the tomatoes and cucumbers (some had questionable brown flecks on them) and then promptly lost my appetite. To top it off, the waitress charged me extra for the cucumbers!?! I can't have bread so I'd asked if I could substitute the pita bread it came with for a few cucumber slices. She said no problem - I guess I didn't realize 'no problem' meant 50c extra. All in all, it was rather grim, and a real shame because the menu looks really good. To echo the wise words of a fellow yelper, it's like they didn't even try. read more

I wish I could give negative rating . The food is inedible. The service even worse. The lady taking orders seems like hates her job. Customers wait and she's busy mopping the floor. The chicken tastes like soap and is not cooked. Falafel was not cooked from inside. The shwarma had one big chunk of chicken uncooked. Don't waste your money as you will end up dumping the food as I did! All this at an airport restaurant!! You need good edible food with awesome express service!! They need to Change Their STAFF!!!! read more

Upfront: Don't waste your time and money. I'd give it less than a star, if it were an option. If you have the time, go to National Coney Island. I had the Club sandwich, fries and a Pepsi - paid close to $12 (typical airport prices). The sandwich wasn't horrible but it wasn't that great, I ate it all but it was not worth the money. The fries were not very good, didn't finish them. I had more ice than Pepsi in my cup - not enough to get that bad fry taste out of my mouth. The customer service was absolutely horrible. The cashier was rude. He failed to greet me in any sort of way, failed to smile or even seem approachable, and failed to speak complete sentences. Honestly, I thought he wanted to fight me by the way he was looking at me. If this place relied on repeat business, it would fail. I won't go back, and I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. read more

This service was mortifyingly bad. The guy at the counter seemed angry that i was there to bother him. They still had the breakfast menu up and when I tried to order breakfast he glared at me and said 'It's 10:30'. Nothing more, no explanation as to what that meant. Eventually I asked 'So...does that mean no breakfast?' and he just nodded. Ended up getting a pita wrap that was 'fine' but nothing special and it took 15 minutes to get ready plus the 5-10 where it was sitting on the counter waiting for him to grab it and give it to me. Go somewhere else, simple as that. Whoever the manager of this place is should be embarrassed and ashamed. read more

Terrible service. Actually there was a total lack of service. I walked up, smiled, said hello and the person behind the counter didn't respond at all. I stood there looking at the menu. The person walked away, behind the door. Never said a word. I stood there for several minutes then departed. read more

Very average, kind of bland, generic "Mediterranean" food. Service was quick. Apps served at the same time as the main course. Waitress didn't offer to refill my drink until I was ready to leave.

I'm surprised by this place. I got a chicken shawarma with a side of fries. The fries are the thick cut kind, not to salty. The shawarma is big.. it's a pita bread that the bases with garlic butter, added some pickles and a lot of chicken. The chicken is well marinated and soft (it's shredded). The con.. no lettuce or radish or anything, it's straight chicken and pickles. It's to much for me.. probably filling for a guy, you can half it and be straight. Menu seems large but I figured leaving Detroit might as well get the last shawarma in. The garlic is strong! read more

I ordered beef shawarma and agreed to wait 12 min for it. I watched as it was made, handed to someone else who opened it and realized it wasn't hers, returned, and then given to me. Surely that doesn't meet health code! Gross. They wouldn't give me a new one. It was almost $15 for a sandwich and a bottle of tea, and the sandwich wasn't new when it came to me. Don't eat here. read more
