    Cheers Yelpers! How sweet to bring ice cold water and Shirazi Salad on this hot day!
    Therese G.

    The owner greeted me with a smile! The Athletics vs Astros game was playing with Nick Kurtz making his epic debut! It is a comfy and clean restaurant! I love the Christmas tree and angels that decorate the space all year. The young server, also wearing a big smile, welcomed me with a complimentary bottle of cold water and a dish of Shiraz salad while I waited for my order. When I asked him which was his favorite, he said it would be hard to say because they were all good! He finally narrowed it down and suggested the Chicken Plate, but I ordered the Greek Chicken Sandwich. Mediterranean Grill did not disappoint. The chicken kebab was moist, delicious and fresh, and it was surrounded with lettuce, tomatoes, and lots of onions. And if that wasn't enough to seal the deal, Ed the owner came out to bring me the famous rice that normally complements the chicken kebab plate. Here is an owner who truly wants to make sure his patrons are happy! Two thumbs up, waaay up!

    3.  Ground Chicken Koubideh Platter with salad and garlic sauce
    Denise J.

    I ordered the #3 Chicken Koubideh, which comes with basmati rice, a fresh salad, pita bread, and garlic sauce. It's a generously sized meal, and for the price, you'll definitely have some leftovers. The chicken was so tender that it practically melted in my mouth. The seasoning was perfect, and the rice was cooked to perfection. I especially loved the salad. It was a great portion, and the vinaigrette dressing was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is small and charming, with beautiful pictures of Pasadena decorating the walls. The owner is incredibly kind and always offers water to his customers. He greets everyone with a warm smile, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I highly recommend this charming little restaurant. Be sure to stop by and support this wonderful small business!

    Chicken shwarma bowl

    Visited this spot on a Thursday evening and there was no line. They have parking in the back. Staff was friendly at the counter and provided free bottles of water. There's plenty of seating inside. I ordered the chicken shwarma bowl to go. It's a good portion for $11.99. There's a credit card fee that I didn't see a sign for, and their receipt doesn't have a line item breakdown. Taste wise though, it was filling and savory. They could've drizzled more of the sauce.

    Was in the area and decided to try this Mediterranean place out since I haven't eaten it in a while. There is small parking lot behind the building so parking is not hard on weekdays. They have plenty of seating inside and also a few tables outside which is nice. I ended up ordering the Chicken Shawerma bowl ($11.99?). The employees were friendly and they even give a free bottle of water. I ordered it to-go since I brought my dog with me. When it ready, the employee was super nice and brought it outside! Great service! The bowl is one size only and had a pretty decent sized portion for the price. There is good proportion of chicken and the rice and lettuce. My only small complaint is there wasn't much sauce so it wasn't as flavorful after mixing it together. As for the taste, it is pretty good but I have tasted better chicken shawerma at another spot where it was just more flavorful. But this place is still pretty good and seems authentic. I think it would have tasted better with more sauce. I would recommend this spot if you're looking for Mediterranean food nearby. They have lots of options to choose from.

    The Mediterranean Grill is located at 105 North Hill Avenue #101 Pasadena California 91101. It is a small, popular eating establishment. It is located with a number of other restaurants. The location is very visible as you drive north or south on Hill. Parking is available in a number of different areas. They have their own parking lot alongside the edge of the building. There is also street parking that is usually available along the side street. Upon entering the patio area of this building you will notice outside seating with umbrellas. The Mediterranean Grill is located in suite 101. When you enter you walk through the inside seating to the counter to place your order. I had a number of questions concerning their menu and the gentleman at the register was very helpful in giving me suggestions of different dishes I might enjoy. I ordered a number of items so that I could get an understanding of their menu. I decided to order three items. A salad and two dinners. As I sat down to wait for my order, a staff member brought over a small salad and a small bottle of water for me to enjoy while I was waiting. I found out that the salad was a shirazi salad. It was bright and refreshing. The lemon and olive oil dressing was perfect along with the chopped onions, marinated cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley. Enjoyable! I picked up my carefully packaged order and was on my way home. I was eager to try some new flavors. The aroma of the food was still present as I opened each of the three items. The Greek salad with chicken had a great flavor. There were large chunks of lightly fried chicken pieces, with fresh cucumbers, feta cheese, olives, lettuce, onions, with their special olive and lemon dressing. This salad is a full meal, very satisfying. The chicken platter with white meat included rice, a marinated cucumber salad, a tomato, and jalapeno. I had a choice of with seeds or without and I decided to spice it up and ordered with the seeds. There is definitely a lot of food . then one dinner. I found out that it tasted good the next day. Their special sauce is amazing. The beef skewer was very tender and filled with flavor. The meat had been marinated and tasted great both warm and cold the following day, as did the other items. I was so intrigued by the menu that I went again for the gyro roll and the falafel platter. Both were well worth the return visit. Highly recommend the flavorful food at Mediterranean Grill! Their service, recipes, and food are well worth the visit. I look forward to returning to experience more items on the menu.

    I have been to Mediterranean Grill several times. Then the Eaton fires. And mudslides. Finally swing by for a quick lunch. I had forgotten how warm and hospitable this place is AND how tasty. The owner gave me a plate of salad "while I waited" for my salmon plate. The salmon was delicious. So was the tabouli which I asked for in lieu of rice. I offered to pay extra. Instead he gave me a cucumber/tomato salad while I waited and tabouli. A friendly place with a warm heart. Located on Hill street near Pasadena City College one might overlook it due to its spartan layout. The ambience says "student". The food and hospitality say so much more. A gem.

    This place is amazing! Great food. Fresh hummus! Yoghurt sauce too! The meat is great and the chicken! The owner is wonderful too. You feel at home ! Must try this place!

    2.  Boneless Chicken Kabob (Dark Meat)
    Brenda L.

    I dont usually leave reviews for places but this is my first time at this establishment and it most definitely will NOT be my last. The customer service is absolutely beyond what I expected they make you feel very welcomed and that is hard to find in a business nowadays. Amazing customer service, the cleanliness is an added plus, and the food quality is excellent. Fresh and tasty!! Please do not hesitate to pay this establishment a visit it's absolutely worth it!!

    #10. Combination Platter

    I got the combination platter and it was delicious! The gentleman who helped me at the counter was so kind and gave me a complimentary water and salad while I waited. Food was 10/10, I really recommend this place.

    Greatttttt service and really nice owner! Best Med. Food in the 626. Sad to have found some sort of bee but I assume it's from the citruses or something?

    Are the falafel vegan friendly?

    Yes, they have great falafels, and vegan friendly and friendly all around.

    Is M Grill following strict covid 19 protocols? All employees wearing mask and gloves? Are cashiers only touching cash register & payments and not touching utensils, condiments or food being prepped into togo bags? Any floor markings of 6ft distance?

    From what I recall, yes. All of the above. I don't remember if there were floor markings as I was the only one in there at the time but I do remember signs stating 6 feet apart.

    How is the baba ghanouj? When it's made right it's the best but I've never had theirs before.

We heard good things about Sahara and decided to check it out yesterday; and it exceeded expectations. I had the beef kebab plate, while my mom and brother had the chicken kebab plate. We loved how they had complimentary snacks (olives, cheese, and cucumber) and also that the plate came with either soup or salad. The meat dishes were so flavorful and honestly the best we've had at any restaurant. They gave a lot of meat too; 8 pieces each dish. The baba ghanoush was also great. Last but not least, Mary, our server, was extremely pleasant and attentive. We can't wait to go back!

My first impression was how friendly everyone is, both employees and customers. I also noticed the aroma of mesquite smoke, which is a principle difference between their food and many others that use gas grills. The wonderful lady at the counter welcomed me and suggested the split kabob plate with half each beef and chicken. She also gave me the lunch and dinner menus to peruse. I grabbed a table and didn't wait long before my order was ready. Lots of rice pilaf, hummus, and tabouli. Additionally, there was a portion of garlic sauce. The portion of meat was equally impressive. I was still afflicted with recent dental work so I had to eat slowly and carefully. Their food is very crushable if not for that. They also quarter the pita bread which allows easier dipping or making mini wraps. Anyhow, I'm sure I'll be back sooner than later to try the Lula (aka koubideh), lamb, and other unique house specials. The essence of wood smoke is especially good, so that's a high mark. 4.5 overall My only criticisms are the rice could have been warmer, and the sauce more garlicky.

Was craving a good sandwich in the Pasadena area and found this place on Yelp. Good reviews so decided to try it. Sorry but sorely disappointed. Got two things: Garlic chicken sandwich and Beef Lule wrap. Garlic chicken sandwich was pretty good. There was a decent amount of the garlic sauce which made it tasty. But after a while the garlic after taste becomes too much. If you try this place this is the sandwich to get. In Yelp photos there are a lot of this sandwich so it's popular. We shred this one so after only half the sandwich, I felt it was enough garlic taste. The other item we got was a Beef Lule wrap. It was pretty messy and the pita bread was incredibly soggy and fell apart. I just don't have wraps come out like that. The meat was ok but the whole thing was dry. It was made like a sandwich but in a wrap and it just didn't work for me. It seems like it needs Tzatziki sauce or something. I just thought it could have been a much better wrap. You need to keep it in the wrapper because it just falls apart. I don't recommend this thing. Stick with the popular items towards the top of the list on the menu.
