The very first time I tried the Mediterranean Grill I tied my dog up out front and went in to order. After placing my order, I watched the elderly woman that works there cut off some fresh chicken from the vertical spit, then to my amazement she offered the fleshly cut chicken to me on some tin foil for my dog tied up outside -I was absolutely blown away by this random act of kindness. I doubt the old woman knows this because she probably doesn't remember me, but I have been back many, many times, not just because a woman with a heart of gold like that can't be that bad, but also because I absolutely love the items on their menu. My favs from the Mediterranean Grill are their Wrap Souvlaki Pita (Chicken), and their Greek Salad! Yum. So far I have not had a bad thing from their terrific menu. I am proud to have this little Greek and Persian Restaurant in my neighbourhood. read more

Amazing Mediterranean food for a great price! Had the beef and lamb combo plate for lunch and it was delicious!

I love the food here and I think it is the best chicken shawarma in the city! The place is kind of one of those hole in the wall places but the food is so great and the people running it are so nice. Perfect picnic food too if you want to pick up and hit the beach or you can stay and grab a table and people watch on the sidewalk. read more

They claim the chicken is Turkish style but it is not even close as quality and taste wise what they serve in Turkey. I have asked for lemon juice with my salad they have brought me synthetic lemon juice which burned my throat. Additional to this disastrous experience i have seen the food handler woman pinching the white rice that dropped to the counter and putting it back on the tray to serve to customers. Vancouver needs to step up his game and close restaurants like this. They are just a bad representation of middle eastern food. Do not eat there. Pay attention to the reviews all of them are fake. read more

Ordered a simple meal off of skip the dishes from this restaurant. Was sent the wrong order. Mistakes happen it's not a huge deal except when we called they told us it's the drivers fault over and over again and the only way they would fix the issue was if we ordered the same order off of skip the dishes again and they would bring us cash at the door for the second payment. Blown away. Imagine buying something and the seller telling you the only way they would give the right item is you must buy it again. Went through skip the dishes and ended up with a full refund. There are plenty of awesome options in Vancouver, I highly recommend passing on ordering from this establishment. read more

I had placed an order through DoorDash, and in the bag the employee didn't even put a fork and knife in my bag. The only reason I am giving 2 stars was because the order was quick. read more

I think this is a great place to try lamb. Also chicken shawrma is just the best i've eaten.

Food: great price, big portions, delicious. All I've had is the roast lamb, and can't go wrong. If It wasn't for the horrible experience I had last time, I might of had it again. Service: depends I've never been in the restaurant, and only order for delivery I had a younger man answer the phone the first time. It was my first time ordering from them, so I had questions about portions etc. He was really polite and patient, answering my questions while I changed my order. Lamb was a good pick. Second time was HORRIBLE service. This time I had a lady on the phone. She was very rude and ungrateful. This was order was $60 but she was treating me like I wasn't even a paying customer. When I told her where I am located (even just a 10 min drive away), she mentioned it will be an extra fee for crossing the bridge. This confused me since an additional charge for crossing a bridge wasn't mentioned last time, just a flat delivery fee. I asked her about this, and at first she just said I can cancel the order and that they did it that way for years. I couldn't believe she was this rude for me wanting to know what I was paying. I looked past it and I explained again that I was just asking if this is an additional charge to the flat delivery fee, since I wanted to know the exact price and what I am paying for. She said additional, but still didn't give me the exact total price. She was rushing trying to get me off the phone, as if I didn't just put in a big order, and was threatening to cancel my order just because I was asking her a question, and that she has other customers (as if I wasn't one of them). All I wanted to know was what I am paying for in delivery total and what total price it all comes too. In reality, she could have just avoided all of this if she gave the me answer, instead of complaining that I was even asking. She started the conversation off very offensive from the start, and wasn't even listening to what I was asking for. It was taking all my patience to stay nice and clarify what I am asking for! Finally she said "$60 something" while she tried to rush me off the phone again. This was getting to the last straw, again I asked her for the EXACT amount because I needed to know how much cash to have ready. This is the end of it. She said she is cancelling my order and hung up. Worst service I have ever experience before. She didn't want my order because I was asking the exact amount I am paying for? It makes me wonder if someone were to come in to the restaurant and asked her a question about the menu, would she just walk away and go to the next customer? Completely unacceptable. read more

Awesome food and awesome people that work there. If you have not had their Greek Salad then you have not had the best Salad in all of Vancouver. Man, I love this place! read more

Unreal food. Have been coming here since I moved into the area early 2015 and I have yet to find anything better. Have never eaten in, only have done take out, and have had great service every time. I normally get the chicken shawarma plate and just tried the dolmathes for the first time. Super yummy! Even better at the end of a long night of drinking. No complaints here! read more

No such a thing as service exists, Mediocre at best food. Cheap and horrible food. Everything went wrong with our order and we getting other people's food. read more

Absolutely the worst service I have experienced in my life from a restaurant. I went into this place with 5 other friends and we all placed our orders. The restaurant wasn't too busy but it was steady. I was the third person to place my order (to-go). I ordered a persian salad with a chicken kabob. After about 30 minutes of standing around and waiting, I asked the man standing behind the register on the status of my order. I believe he may have been the owner. He waved me off and said "its coming. Its coming. Its coming." Then I noticed that they just begun to cook my kabob on the grill. Everyone in my group, even those who ordered after me, plus other several customers after me received their food. I waited and stood around for another 5 to 7 minutes and then I inquired on the status of my food to the girl behind the food counter. I believe the girl was the owner's daughter. I asked her "Is my food ready?". She responded with the following statement in a rude manner... "Do you want your food cooked or uncooked? Or do you want to cancel your order". I was taken away because of her lack of consumer service and just stood there a bit shocked with her response. Her father, the owner, talked to her in farsi (which I understand) and said "Maryam thats enough". The daughter ended up just walking away from the counter. When she came back, she began to be a bit confrontational and asked "What are you looking at? What? What?" I responded with "What kind of customer service is this, that it not nice at all". She responded with "Then don't be a customer". I finally received the food I order and it took approximately 40 minutes for a salad. I initially ordered a persian salad + Kabob and received a Greek salad + kabob. I told the father (owner) behind the register that the way we were being treated was rude and not nice. He looked at me and started waving his hand and said "ok bye". As we were walking out the girl (daughter) also added "ok bye bye". They were basically shoo'ing our entire group out of the restaurant. I will never order from these people again. They don't care to provide any customer service and are just extremely rude. read more

I can't believe the negative reviews?!? As a big fan of chicken shawarma i get take out here a lot and its probably one of the best in Vancouver. I always ask the staff to drench the chicken with Lamb Jus and it tastes just divine. Portions are big and reasonably priced. This is a family restaurant and has been at this location for as long as i remember, easily 15+ years. The other day i tried the place next door and it was god awful shawarma so i am sticking with these guys. read more

The first time I ate here I was so happy to have found this place. The food tasted fantastic. That was only a couple months ago. I must have gone at a good time because even though the guy working there was a miserable downer, the food tasted pretty great. The last 2 times I have gone here has been in the afternoon when two women have been working. I swear no one in this place knows what a smile is. Most miserable group of workers I've ever seen. Today I ordered my food from a woman who didn't say a word to me, just a cold soulless glare. I looked up and saw them MICROWAVING my food right in front of me (who the hell does this? How long has the meat been sitting out for?!) the other woman then put it in a box and then literally tossed it on top of the counter in its bag at me and then immediately turned her back to me and just stood there. I said "thank you" to her and she too just turned and glared at me. So I won't be returning again. For the record, i took a few bites of the food when I got home and it tastes just like you would expect day old microwaved food to taste. Maybe if the attitudes here change I'll return but I see that never happening. These people need a reality check. And maybe a check up from the health inspector too. read more

Just picked up a number 19 (Kubideh Dish) with the barberry rice. Got it home and it was definitely spoiled. Happened to be hanging out with my Persian girlfriend's parents who confirmed how awful it was. Smells rotten, no joke at all. The beef itself was fine. Will never be stopping by here again and if this turns into a food poisoning as I was unfortunate enough to swallow some of the rice prior to realizing that it was off, I'll be reporting them to the health department and providing the remainder of the rotten rice dish for them to test out. We shall see. You guys lost my business and I'll be letting anyone I know who likes Persian or Greek to steer clear of your restaurant. read more

We ordered dinner for the first time from this restaurant through orderit.ca. Mediterranean Grill provided the absolute worst service we have ever received. Food took well over an hour to arrive. Restaurant staff had no idea what order we were talking about and hung up on us when we called to inquire. Food finally arrived cold and presented extremely poorly. Pita bread came in the original food service packing bag. They did not even remove the pita bread and put it in their own container. Zero effort went into this order. I haven't even tried the food yet, but we will NEVER ever order from this place again!! I advise you to stay far away from this one. read more

Large, delicious plates at not bad prices. Friendly, casual staff. Not a place for a date or fancy dinner, but if you're hungry, try it.

Horrible, ordered online meal arrived 35 minutes later than promised, bag was so greasy the grease ran out onto the kitchen counter, salad was so limey couldn't eat it pita was hard and crispy around the edges, lamb and beef plate was tasty enough but couldn't tell the difference between them until biting into a big piece of fat, that was the lamb, ordered barberry rice got plain rice. Complaint lodged with online provider. read more

I give them 0 because of health issues. They microwave the rice in typical styrofoam for 2 min. It's just CANCER that u r eating. I can't believe how weak Canada's health inspection is. Nice people though :)) but bad quality :(( read more

Do yourself a huge favor and don't go! I just finished eating there after arriving in town for the night from LA and happened to a stubble upon it. Let me tell you, biggest regret ever!!!! It was the worst Mediterranean food I have ever had in my life and the owner ripped me off! I gave him $40 US dollars for a 35CAN order and I got back 7 CAN .. How does this even make sense??? I tried confronting him about it and he just acted stupid as if the US and CAN are the same exact exchange rate. And completely brushed me off! He wouldn't even give me my receipt he said it was "too late"... Besides being ripped off, it didn't help the food was completely disgusting!!! Stay FAR away from this place you're better off going elsewhere !!!!! read more

Worse experience ever!! I cant believe how people here are not being honest with their comments. When we went there with my friends, they gave us a microwaved pita and charged extra for drink. The lady who was taking the orders were full of attitude and being so rude when we went back to ask about the reason for extra charge. Never again! Awful taste, awful service read more

Placed an order online, after an hour of waiting they showed the status as delivered! When I called them up, at first they said they hadn't received the order. After I insisted they double-check (I had already paid online, so I needed a refund!), they said that the order "just came through". They asked me to call LazyMeal to get my refund. Terrible, terrible service. read more

Probably the worst customer service I've had in Vancouver. The woman got my order wrong, insisting I used language that wasn't on the menu, and then when I was reticent about eating, she said, "go ahead and leave I'm busy without you." I was appalled and walked two blocks down to a much better Greek place. I wouldn't give this place a penny. read more

Super rude staff. Won't be returning! No, this didn't happen with only one person, but three separate people in the same evening in the course of 5 minutes. I was polite and courteous the entire time. Try being nice to your customers and maybe they'll be loyal. Staying in business is desirable. read more

OMG! I have been to this place an let me tell you the waiter was nice when we got inside but where I was seating dust was coming out from the ceilings. I look and saw thr tv covered up with dust that was falling on my table. I asked the cashier if he saw it and I pointed the dust, he ironically said, "im how about you?" Then I reply "Im worried that this staff is going to fall on my food" he just ignored me. The food was okay but as I was looking into the kitchen and saw the floors dirty and the glass where the food is stored also full of print marks. One person I give five stars is the mexican waitress that was awesome, the owner should hire someone to clean the place because the food is not bad actually. I wont come back just because of the dirt. read more

Me and few bros ate here yesterday and their customer service is soo bad and rude and the girl at the disk is a little slutty towards the guys and rude to the girls any who the food was cold we were starving and couldn't wait no more so we just ate the food but I wished we ate at macdonalds then here after we left my bro had the bad runs and all night was in pain we took him to the hospital and he had food poisoning DO NOT EVEN tASTE THEIR AWFUL microwave food and their rudeness they should be checked out by the health authority read more

I tried a pita chicken shawarma, and the first bite just blew my socks off! The combination of the shawarma with cucumber, tomato salad and a touch of yogurt/hummus was very yummy! Would've been lovely if the pita bread was warmed as well, but I can look past that. I will definitely be trying another dish from here again. read more

If you're in need of a late wrap and the place next door is not open - the good Babylon Cafe - then this is your last choice. West End Vancouver lacks in anything ... well ... in all most anything. But anyone who has tasted any international food anywhere will not be happy with the offerings. Med Grill, a place I had supported for a while (beer and wrap combo) had been OK, including the hummus (again none of this was great but ... OK). Last night it distinctly tasted like licorice. Pellets of black in the olive -less, fennel tasting mixture I pre - paid, didn't matter as I had paid this many many times before, but brought it up after the delivery. The chef/man/whoever works there when wants to said 'no, that's black pepper' . Really!? I know my stuff...cheffed in many restaurants. There is no fennel nor small black ball bits ... cover anything up with lemon, garlic or cream. Those are your options! NEVER. AGAIN. Lied to my face. He said it was black pepper. Really ... Never again ... read more

This is a Persian restaurant which offers great cuisine. The seating is only for a few people so I do not recommend it for larger groups. If you love meat, you are in for a treat. read more

Really like their rice but not the falafels. Overcooked, hard and dry. Hummus and yogurt sauces were only okay. Wish I could have another veggie dish with rice. Haven't tried the soup or spinach pie. read more

For those days your super hungry and need something quick and abundance of food. This is the spot. The Large #6 chicken shawarma is plentiful and can be shared with a friend. Great prices. Great location. Friendly. Outdoor and indoor seating. read more

I love this place and have for years! I was looking in and the guy that's been working there for years recognized me and made me feel like I'd never been away. I hadn't been in for quite awhile.His name Ali and I've always had excellent food here the spinach pies are amazing . Thanks Ali and the gang for being like an ambassador of Denman Street! I'm coming again tomorrow read more

I like the look of the photos they have on display. Seems very appetizing and many items peaked my interest as i love Mediterranean food. The late hours provide eats in an otherwise 'closed down' west end after midnight. Lots of options to choose from. Too bad I was rudely disenchanted during my last visit. :( I went there with a couple of my friends after closing down a local pub (at about 3 am). As i was in the middle of ordering some take out at the cash register, the guy suddenly stopped writing down my requests and then his attention shifted to a group of intoxicated students who just arrived. They only wanted liquor and he was all too happy to dismiss me for the moment to sell these guys take out beer for a premium price. When they did start our order, everything went into microwave ovens. There is at least 10 microwaves behind the counter. Im serious. Yikes. Not sure if they only use late at night or all day long. read more

I was starving and craving a falafel wrap so I thought I would try this place out. Upon entering I was greeted by a rather shabby interior and an unfriendly face. I threw caution to the wind and put in my order as I could see them frying up some fresh falafel. I paid my bill and sat down. They didn't ask me what I wanted on my wrap so I figured they had a set menu. I was handed my order and ravenously took the first bite. It was a little dry consisting of a white pita, iceberg lettuce, tomato, sauce and the falafel. I really wanted there to be something else in it to add some moisture like homous, tabbouleh, or pickles. I also wanted something to cover up the taste of cinnamon in the falafel. Did someone have an accident or do they normally taste like this? Anyway I was lucky enough to have a friend take it off my hands and I proceeded down the street to try my luck somewhere else. read more

I had the Greek chicken salad. I watched him out my meat in the microwave to heat it up. Overall the taste was good but I was worried. The lady at the counter looked annoyed. read more

Discourtesy, rudeness , bad manners Don't take a chance in there super poor service, they have a new cashier she's acting is like a miss Canada , their stuff is like a they're not happy they bring you super greasy food whit mistake and lots of attitude just listen go McDonald it's much better read more

Absolutly delecious..... I go there once a month.... Price is very reasonable especially for downtown.Friendly people... MUST TRY

Truly amazing! I totally recommend it quality food; you can truly feel the home-made taste in every bite. My recommendation for falafel lovers is the falafel pita; THE BEST I've ever tried and after finishing it (trust me) you'll feel completely satisfied; big portion but healthy, not excessively greasy as I say "homey style is the best style" read more

Have been here 4 or 5 times and was happy each time. Service was great the employees there are enthusiastic and friendly. Portions are good, prices are good, and one if the more tastier places downtown. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Stopped by here for a quick lunch. I felt like something a little better than a donner or shawarma so I went for a lamb shish plate. It was one of the more expensive items on the menu at around $13. It was not bad. The meat was tender and it was cooked nicely on a grill. The sides were plentiful - I couldn't finish all of the rice. The ingredients looked fresh. The service is slightly higher than a fast-food restaurant. You order at a counter and they have huge menus hanging from the ceiling with giant pictures of the meals. There are several simple wooden tables you can sit and eat at. It wasn't anything special. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. You could do better and you could do worse. read more
