    4. Beef & Lamb Shawerma Wrap
    Daniel F.

    Overall a great spot. In the mood for Mediterranean food and found this place walking downtime Mountain View. The people here are very friendly and the atmosphere has a real cozy feel to it. Love the furniture arrangement. Ordered the Chicken shawarma wrap and Beef shawarma wrap. The meat was cooked well and was very flavorful. The sauce was a little too rich for me and overpowering. Overall it was ok. I'd come back and try other things on the menu.

    Overall it was a decent experience. The food was alright. I wish there were more sauce options, I felt that the food itself was a bit more dry than expected. The dessert was very THICK but a great flavor. I saw they had multiple specialized coffees I'd be interested in coming back and trying those out. You pay at the front and then buss your table.

    Great place to eat outside on Castro street. You have to try the pistachio milk cake it is so delicious! The kabobs were just ok got the chicken plate with 2 sides and shawarma beef à la carte that came with pita bread. The bathroom is a bit tricky to find it's around the corner but it's good they have a clean bathroom. Overall nice place to eat and I would come here again.

    Mediterranean Grill House had a BOGO deal on Uber Eats so we decided to go check it out! Ordered Dolmades and two falafel wraps for pick-up and food was ready within 20 minutes. Friend also ended up a side of potatoes! Some indoor and outdoor seating available. Dolmade (5/5): First time trying dolmade! It is essentially vegetables wrapped around a leaf - it was a nice refreshing way to start off the meal. Falafel wraps (5/5): This was great! I tend to find falafel wraps to be very dry but this had a good amount of tzatziki sauce and also hummus, which I appreciated because that usually costs extra. Everything tasted flavorful and fresh. The portion size was pretty big - ended up splitting the wrap into two meals. Friend liked the potatoes! Said it was well seasoned. Overall, with the BOGO deal, Mediterranean Grill House is great bang for buck. Would return!

    Mediterranean Grill House shares a space with Sana'a Cafe, who provides coffee, Yemeni specialty drinks, and pastries. I came here on a Groupon. Their space is actually decently large, with good patio seating in the front. They are located near the end of the Castro strip in Mountain View, so parking is a lot easier to find here. Plate meals allow you to pick two sides (except the three meat combo plate, which is choice of one side): hummus (could use more lemon and seasoning, but has interesting smooth mashed potato texture), garlic potatoes (small pieces of roasted potato in a wet garlic sauce), baba ghanoush (smooth and good), cucumber yogurt salad (fresh chunks of cucumber with mild yogurt, surprisingly unique), tabbouleh (tastes like my favorite kind of tabbouleh with perfect ratio of bulgur to parsley and green onions, well chopped), and Mediterranean salad (so healthy and fresh). With your meal, you get some quarters of toasted flat pita bread and a side of tzatziki. You can also have the option to grab your own water and bus yourself. Depending on the meat you order, it can take up to 15-20 minutes to prepare, but time passed by quick while watching all the hustle and bustle of the Castro strip. - Chicken Shawerma Plate One of the better chicken shawermas in the bay! The chicken is really tender and seasoned well, and there are some bigger juicy pieces. There was basically more chicken than rice! - Lamb Kebob Plate Huge chunks of lamb kebobs over a large mound of moist rice. We like to request it medium rare, and they cooked it perfectly medium rare. I think they pair perfectly with the garlic potatoes and a salad. - Three Meat Combo Plate It comes with a chicken skewer, kufta, and choice of shawerma (I chose beef which had thicker pieces, though I liked the chicken shawerma better). The chicken kebab came as huge pieces of breast meat. The kufta was the best meat out of the three, as it had really good flavor and tasted freshly ground. The imported Dubai chocolate was a bit sweet for my preference, but it's not their product so that's fine. Tons of takeout orders were going out to locals and employees, and it smells good near their pickup window. I can see why they get good business, as the owners and employees are very friendly, hardworking, and passionate. I had an issue where initially, the food wasn't prepared the way I wanted, and they prioritized my enjoyment. If I still lived near Castro, this would be a frequent meal for me - I love how everything tastes really healthy and fresh, is seasoned just right, and with really fair pricing. I wish they had air conditioning inside for hot days - otherwise, the inside is a pretty cozy place to sit down! I hope to visit again soon to have some sweets and drinks, as well as the okra that was recommended. This is now one of my favorite Mediterranean places in the entire bay because of the chicken shawerma, kufta, fresh sides, and hospitality.

    Found a good Mediterranean spot in downtown Mt. View. I think it;s relatively new. I don't remember seeing it before. I had the Chicken Shawerma Wrap, which was like a Mediterranean burrito. It was very, very good. The chicken had a great flavor, different thna Mexican, but oh-so-good. I am a fan for Shawerma Wrap. I will try the beef next. It is one my new spots whenever I am down there. Now for the pic.

    I came here for a late lunch with my fiance. The interior is beautifully decorated and has both booths and tables. There are also a few tables outside. It was steadily busy the whole time we were here. Despite being busy, all of the employees were friendly and helpful. I ordered the kofta kebab plate with hummus and salad. My fiance ordered the chicken shawarma wrap with a side of falafel. We also ordered a watermelon mango refresher. The refresher was perfectly sweet and tasted like actual fruit. My plate was delicious. Everything was great on its own and even better together. My fiance enjoyed his wrap, but said he would order a falafel wrap next time because the falafel was that good. They were super light with a nice crisp. The side of falafel also came with some pita bread. We also ate everything with the spicy sauce (found near the utensils) and really liked it. Good flavor and spice. Before we left, we also decided to get some desserts and an iced adeni chai. The adeni chai had a nice cardamom flavor. We tried the honey comb bread, and it was delicious! We also ordered the rose milk cake, which we also enjoyed! I would definitely recommend coming here! I will definitely be back to try more of the food and drinks!

    Veggie Delight Plate: baba ganoush, hummus, garlic potatoes, dolmas, falafels, Mediterranean salad

    Mediterranean Grill House specializes in Middle Eastern kebabs, grilled to order in the kitchen right by the entrance. I tried the chicken kebab, lamb kebab, chicken shawarma (marinated slices of breast meat), and kufta kebab (spiced ground beef and lamb), and all the meats were juicy and flavorful. I also tried the Veggie Delight Plate, a sampler of mezzes including creamy hummus, baba ghanoush, dolmas, falafels, garlic potatoes, Mediterranean salad (chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, peppers), cucumber yogurt salad, and tabbouleh (parsley and bulgur salad). My favorite components were the crunchy falafels with the tahini-rich hummus, eaten along with some grilled pita bread. Overall, the food here was fresh and flavorful, though the portion sizes were small for the prices.

    My experience here was AMAZING! It's my 3rd visit & every time Ive received such Great service and dealt with friendly staff. The food is always so fresh and very tasteful! Highly recommend!! Oh and the pistachio latte is my absolute FAVORITE

    They have Sanaa coffee amazing

    Excellent relaxing spot for Mediterranean food and Sanaa Coffee. Had the Adani Chai it was awesome. Service was excellent! We will definitely come back

    16. Kebob Combo Plate with fresh Pita Bread, 1. Falafel Wrap, Iced Adeni Chai, Mango Passionfruit Refresher
    Stephanie L.

    Tried Mediterranean food for the first time, and it was a good experience! I ordered the kebab combo plate, which had a nice mix. The chicken was flavorful, though a little dry, and the kufta was solid too. The salad and potatoes on the side balanced everything out nicely. I also had the falafel wrap which was super fresh with lots of veggies. For drinks, the Adeni chai reminded me of milk tea but with a floral, sweeter twist, and the Mango Passionfruit refresher was nice and fruity.

    Yuuuuuum! Some of the best halal kofta I've ever had. Also. Check out Yemeni coffee and chai, now serving Sanaa Cafe Enjoy!

    Pita (2 pieces come w a plate)
    Han-Nha T.

    This place has good vegetarian options. The chicken plate was fine for $15 but the okra plate was very good. Yogurt w cucumbers very fresh. Hummus was good, but not like most restaurant hummus. it was more fatty and sour than creamy (if blended for longer, would have been more creamy) so it was good w rice instead of pita. Chicken texture wasn't super tender but all food was hot and fresh. Ambiance was fine, price was good for what you get esp for this area. Would come back.

By the time we realized it, the party had already started, so returning to the restaurant wasn't an option. The next day, I spoke with the owner/manager, Jonathan. He apologized, acknowledged the mistake, and assured me he would provide a credit for the missing items. Unfortunately, after that conversation, he stopped responding and never followed through. Mistakes happen, especially during busy weekends. What matters is how a business responds. The missing food was frustrating, but the broken promise and lack of follow-up were far more disappointing. This restaurant has been a family staple for years, but after this experience, we've decided to take it out of our family's regular rotation. It's unfortunate to lose a longtime customer over something that could have been resolved with a simple follow-through.

The entree portions were way larger than I expected and we probably could have shared one plate, but at least we got to take home leftovers! I ordered the tabsi falafel and my boyfriend got the makloubeh with chicken. Both dishes were incredibly flavorful and had a variety of textures, which was great for someone like me who loves variety in a meal.

I'd also be interested in returning for some of the other dishes we didn't get to try this time. Service was friendly.

From those recommendations we ended up ordering, the Barbayani Pikilia, Octapodi, Moussaka, Lavraki, Paidakia, the Galaktoboureko, and the Whisper cocktail. We got the Barbayani Pikilia as a tasting platter, which had their House-Made Pita Bread along with a Pomegranate Dip, Tiroakafteri (a dip of Feta, Garlic, and Red Bellpepper), Tzatziki (a dip of Greek Yogurt, Cucumber, and Dill), Melitzanosalata (a dip of Roasted Eggplant and Herbs). All of it wasn't bad, but our favorite was the Melitzanosalata and Tzatziki for their fresher taste. The other dips, especially the Tirokafteri was our least favorite since it was so heavy with all the Feta in it. The Octopodi had one Charbroiled Octopus Tentacle with Red Wine Vinaigrette, Oregano, and the House Pesto Sauce. The Octopus was cooked perfectly tender, and had a fresh taste with the sauces. The Moussaka was a casserole with Roasted Potatoes, Grilled Eggplant, Lamb Ragout, and Bechamel Sauce. This whole dish blended together nicely, especially with the Bechamel Sauce. The Lavraki was a whole Mediterranean Seabass, which was cooked perfectly and was nice and flakey. The Potatoes and Braised Greens were also cooked nicely and had great flavor. The Paidakia was Lamb Chops with Potatoes and Greens, which also had good flavor and was cooked perfectly. The Galaktoboureko was a nice finish for dessert, being mild in sweetness, and having nice textures combining the Semolina Custard with Phyllo Dough. The Whisper cocktail had Thyme Gin, Elderflower, Ginger, and Chamomile, which really blended well together. Thankfully it wasn't too sweet and had the right amount of alcohol. However, the later service we received or should I say, didn't receive put a damper on our evening. After our original waiter left, another waiter took over who completely ignored us and never came to check on us. Also, when we had our meals boxed up, the waiter that boxed them threw out some of the dishes, which we later realized when we got home. Overall, everything was cooked perfectly and well made, however some of the customer service needs some work.
