It was our first time here and we got 3 dishes: Mediterranean Combo Kebab Plate $24.50 My husband ordered this one, he chose the chicken and steak. This was so filling, he was able to finish the whole plate but I know I wouldn't have lol love the balance with the salad & all the meats and carb. Appetizer Combo Plate $19.50 This was such a fun platter, perfect to share with multiplie people. They give you a side of warm pita bread to dip into all of this goodness. Love biting a small piece of the pepperoncini and letting its juices go all over the dippings. Mediterranean Salad (+ Lamb Kebab $10.50) $22 This was so good! Such a big bowl of salad. I enjoyed the lamb, it was tender and love the seasonings on it. The salad is comes with a vinegar taste which I liked. read more

Mediterranean Kitchen is a Mediterranean restaurant in downtown Burlingame. We've been to most of the other places nearby and gave this a try. 4.5 on Yelp. You order, pay and the food is brought to you. Decor is nice with lots of wood. Food is fine, nothing amazing. We like Hummus Mediterranean in San Mateo better. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: Mix Combo Grill ($26.95) Kofte, chicken souvlaki, beef shish kebab, lamb, and beef gyros & chicken gyros had a reasonable portion size. Quality was solid but not exceptional. Hummus and pita are not great. 8/10 Overall - Good Food - Good Decor - Very Good Service - Good Value - Good Would we come back - No read more

TLDR: Great Chicken Souvlaki, Lemon Chicken Soup, Falafel Balls and other Mediterranean classics in a Casual pleasant upscale-ish vibe to match the rest of B'game's main drag. Not a dive! Courteous unobtrusive service. Once inside, you'll find a spacious, nicely appointed modern interior with reclaimed wood accents and big screen TVs with aerial views of beautiful Mediterranean (where else!) destinations. Ordering: Study the giant sized menu up an the wall. Place your order up at the counter, get your number and settle down at a table in one of the big booths along the wall. The polished wood dining tables at each booth are both sturdy and beautiful. Large party? There are a couple of long tables inside, and lots of airy outdoor tables and seating in the big veranda just outside of the entrance. We ordered the following:: Lemon Chicken Soup (Bowl): Tasty with a decent amount of shredded chicken included. (4/5) Falafel Balls: Spicy slightly, not huge, but they are very good!! Perfect crust - Crunchy yet delicate and moist on the inside. Rather pricey at $5.95 for four falafel balls. (Score: 4.3/5) If price didn't matter, I'd give these a 4.9/5 rating. Chicken Souvlaki Plate: The star of the show for me was this Chicken Souvlaki plate. Six moderately sized chunks of grilled chicken breast fire grilled kebab style. Numerous sides come with this plate, dominated by a fresh salad containing lettuce, sliced baby cucumbers, radish and diced tomatoes with a tangy dressing, a side of hummus, four slices of a pita bread and a small scoop of fluffy and moist steamed rice that I used to soak up the yummy chicken juices. Each chunk of white meat chicken was mostly moist with just one of the smaller pieces a tiny bit dry, but still very much on point. The refreshing cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce from the salad was the perfect pairing for the chicken. (4.6/5) Surprise! Toward the end of our meal, we were pleasantly greeted with a serving of hot tea with a couple of slices of Turkish Delight for each of us to finish off our meal. Hey! Free dessert! That was very kind of our host! We will definitely keep this place in mind for future visits! read more

Wow where do I begin. The restaurant is in Burlingame downtown core area. Street parking is your only option here. The restaurant has a casual but carries a neat appearance along with tasteful color schemes. Multi-TV screens show the beautiful scenery of the eastern Mediterranean. Ordering is from the counter from a fairly large menu with a plethora of options. I chose the Greek salad with lamb and beef gyros as my protein. The portion was more than fair with a generous amount of the gyro meat. Food is bring to your table. I also ordered the classic hummus, which was light and well seasoned. Our server came and checked on us multiple time. The owner checked in on us too. I appreciate that touch, I enjoy seeing owner involvement at the front of the house. We ate here last year and made this restaurant our first stop upon visiting the area again. I could not recommend this restaurant more. Thank you Mediterranean Kitchen for another outstanding meal!!! read more

I was craving gyros and came across this place. I found the prices reasonable and the portions large. The food was extremely fresh and tasty and I can't wait to go back! We went inside, ordered, and we're given numbers to place on our table. Since it was a nice night, we sat outside and enjoyed some dog & people watching whole we waited for our food to arrive. It's in such a lovely location and we enjoyed our time outside while we had our dinner. 10/10 recommend! read more

Came here on a Friday night for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is very spacious and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the counter, then grab a number and find a table. I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki Plate, which was really good! Juicy chicken breast, wasn't dry at all like it often can be at mediterranean places. The plate also came with a pita, hummus, a yogurt dipping sauce, rice, and side salad. Everything was really fresh tasting and delicious. Will be back! read more

Mediterranean Kitchen - CHICKEN SOUVLAKI PLATE - Mediterranean Near Me - Burlingame, California

We went there on a Sunday afternoon. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor sitting, and you have to order before finding a seat. The place is pleasant and clean. We ordered Adana and mixed gyro plate. It took them a little longer than expected to bring our food; my son was very hungry, so we ordered an appetizer too, which came after the food. Even though the food came late, it was delicious. Especially the lamb and gyro lamb was very tasty. The rice and salad in the plate was very good as well. They did bring two kind of bread with the dishes which both tasted good. Overall, we like this restaurant and we probably go there again and again read more

This restaurant has lots of seating, both inside and outside. The menu is extensive and includes many options, from appetizers, to platters, to gyros, and beyond. There is also plenty of street parking nearby. My friend and I split a lamb and beef gyros plate with a side of baba ghanoush. It was great! However, they only gave us 2 triangles of pita bread each. It wasn't enough pita for the baba ghanoush or for the lamb and beef plate we ordered. The fries were crispy and tasty, as well! read more

We cam here for lunch last week & it was excellent with wonderful food, friendly service, & a casual atmosphere. I love the pictures on the wall of Greece & the Middle East. The traditional music playing in the background is a plus. The adana platter is a must with tender kufta in a spicy tomato sauce with a wonderful salad over lavash & a separate bowl of lavash cooked with olive oil & herbs, great on its own or dipped in the hummus. Round it off with a Sprite & you will not be disappointed; I can hardly wait to try their strawberry rose lemonade & other dishes & desserts next time. My mother enjoyed her salad is did our friend & another friend enjoyed his kufta shawarma. So, for excellent Mediteranian food at reasonable prices with friendly service in a casual atmosphere, Mediteranian Kitchen cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys. read more

Ordered two items, requested their spicy chili sauce, via DoorDash. Called the restaurant multiple times to confirm. No one answers the phone, it just gets disconnected. Received food, looks like it's been tossed around in a football game. Sloppy, cold, and no sauce. Worst part is the fact that they refused to pick up the phone read more

Mediterranean Kitchen - MEDITERRANEAN BURGER (Served with French Fries) - Mediterranean Near Me - Burlingame, California

Add me to the mountain of five star reviews. The chicken souvlaki plate was delicious, as are all of their dips - I'm always a fan of muhammara and baba ghanoush, but you can't get five stars without having good hummus and theirs is creamy and well-balanced. Nice casual vibes with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The service here is top-notch - great people who leave you feeling better about your day after interacting with them. read more

tl;dr: Solid Mediterranean food at affordable prices Falafel plate: Falafels were nice and crispy with good flavors. The hummus and babaghanoush were quite tasty. I wished it came with some pita or rice as it felt more like an appetizer. Lamb gyro wrap: Nice flavors and would order again. They have a diaper changing station in the bathroom, which is always appreciated when dining with kids. read more

Mediterranean Kitchen offers delicious food with reasonable portions. I ordered the chicken souvlaki plate, and the chicken was very moist and flavorful, nicely charred for just the right amount of smokiness. I loved the creamy hummus and the accompanying side salad was dressed well. Service was quick and friendly. Your order at the counter, pay, and receive a number card. Then you find seating (indoor or outdoor heated patio) and someone will deliver your food to your table. Overall great ambiance, food, service! read more

Came here for a quick to-go lunch, decided to try out the beef and lamb gyro wrap with a side of the greek fries. Everything was made hot, fresh, and to order. Meat was tender and the bread was soft. You get a big portion of fries, which were nicely fried and had a good amount of garlic and herbs, although I wish there was more of the feta cheese sprinkled in. If you're dining in, there is plenty of space both indoors and on the covered patio outside. read more

Been coming for a few years, tonight for wife's birthday - perhaps the best meal we have had at Mediterranean Kitchen. Pesto hummus, tonight the best we've tried here... grilled salmon: perfection. Chicken souvlaki: perfection. No condiments (salt, pepper, etc) needed. Rice, flavorful and fluffy as always. Dined slow to savor the experience. Thank you to the Mediterranean Kitchen team. read more

We come here very often, but I noticed they recently started reducing the size of their rice scoop for the gyro and souvlaki plate. Please bring back the scoop size or increase the prices. Basically giving smaller portions. Please bring back the rice portions! read more

Decent ambiance. My husband got the salmon wrap and enjoyed it. My entree (I think it was the combo gyro plate) was disappointing - the meat was very dry and just piled up in shreds on the plate. Didn't feel like we got value for what was paid. Also, I told the host that we had made an OpenTable reservation and to note in their book, only to later receive a message from OpenTable saying "sorry that you didn't keep your reservation." I responded that we certainly did show up, told the host about our reservation and that I would produce the meal receipt if necessary. That matter was favorably resolved but if I ever return to Burlingame, I don't think we'll return here. read more

Food looks good in picture but everything was tough. The beef and lamb were tough and it felt like old meat that was just re-heated. We've been here a few times and we liked our food before but this last time was a total disappointment! Not sure if we'll come back again. read more

Was excited to see a Mediterranean place in Burlingame. We were in the area for work and decided to drop in by for lunch. The exterior had a traditional Greek look but when you stepped inside, it was beautiful and modern. There was a giant menu to the left right when you walk in and it resembled Oren's hummus with the clear and easy to follow choices. We decided to order the hummus and a lamb & beef gyro wrap. They brought out our food relatively quickly and off the bat was very underwhelmed by the size of the gyro wrap. The hummus was fantastic - checked all the boxes on what you would expect from a delicious hummus - great texture and flavor. The wrap aside from the underwhelming size did not deliver on the rest. Starting from the wrap itself - in my experience, gyros generally comes with a bread similar to a pita, where it's thicker and can balance out the meat and toppings - this one came with a wrap similar to tortilla/matza, very thin and dry. The meat was good but was dry. Lastly the toppings - gyros usually come with fresh red onions and a healthy amount of tomatoes. This one came with iceberg lettuce with only a few pieces of tomato. It could've benefited from a little more sauce but overall, did not enjoy the gyro. They did provide us with complimentary tea which was phenomenal - I would buy that any day of the week. The service was good too but couldn't get over the gyro wrap. read more

Came here on a recommendation from a friend who works in the area. Mediterranean Kitchen is an order-at-the-counter style restaurant with a classier feel. They feature Turkish, Greek, and Middle Eastern food with a twist of standard American fare. They have both indoor and outdoor dining options, with a nice covered patio, and seats on the sidewalk. The menu is pretty big (literally), with lots of options. There are a handful of proteins/main dishes to choose from, and various different ways of ordering it, including hummus bowls, salads, and wraps. They have entrees with dishes like gyros, shish kebab, and kofte. There are plenty of beverage options including: sodas, Snapple, Nesquik, sparkling water, beer, and wine. They also have desserts! ORDER: -Combo Gyros Plate (Marinated lamb & beef, chicken - $19.95) This was solid. The meat was shaved off from the vertical rotating rotisseries. It came with rice, house salad, and hummus. -Hail Caesar Salad (add Chicken Souvlaki - $11.95 + $8.95) Tasty salad, but mostly wanted the chicken. It was essentially little small grilled nuggets. The flavor was on point and I loved the fresh grilled taste. -Greek Fries (Feta cheese, garlic, parsley - $6.95) These were good, not great. Very thin fries, and only the top layer had the toppings. I do wish it had at least twice as much feta/garlic, or layered, as there wasn't much flavor to the fries otherwise. The portion size was generous. Overall this was a very enjoyable meal. The staff was all friendly, and the food was good. Thank you for a delicious experience! IG: @bbnem.eats read more

Excellent food and ambience -- the menu here is HUGE. The people working here are super friendly as well. I haven't had an item here that wasn't excellent. The prices are very reasonable for the area and the quality is top notch. I have one complaint from a recent visit: they lost their alcohol license and they don't serve alcohol anymore ( no wine or beer). I asked if I could bring a bottle and drink it under the table, low key, they were very much against it. Would have been nice to have had a glass of wine with the Mediterranean food. All in all, a super solid option for Mediterranean food in Burlingame. read more

Gets busy and you have to stand till a table gets free. Food was different then what I was used to. But the flavor was very good.

Excellent food. Fresh and large in size. The taste was great. I went with friends and between us we had salmon, gyros and Adana kebab. Every dish was great and reasonably priced. The only reason this is a 4 star is because one item, which was a salad had ingredients missing. It was not as described in the menu. When asked, we were told they did not have all the ingredients available. That's fine but it's best to be upfront about something like that. We'd be happy to order something else! Customer service was great. Very polite and willing to help. They have a lovely patio outside too. Nicely decorated place for a casual dinner read more

This place has a lot of potential but has some work to do to get there. We visited on a sunny fall day which made sitting in their well-decorated patio quite nice. I had the lamb-beef gyros. It was a full plate with hummus rice and salad included. However, worst part of our visit was the rice. It was so sticky and inedible - I could see that some dust was stuck on it due to its stickiness. There was also a tough part in the gyro which should not have been there. Service was fast and everyone was friendly. Hopefully it will be a much better experience next time! read more

I really enjoy this spot. I have only ever had it delivered but it always hits. The chicken gyro is my go to, super flavorful and satisfying. It comes with a small side salad and rice which makes it feel like a complete well rounded meal. The food always arrives hot and the chicken is consistently juicy, well seasoned, and just bomb every time. Occasionally it can be a little greasier than usual but overall it is always good. Definitely one of my favorite delivery options when I am craving something hearty and delicious. read more

This place is one of my go-to restaurants in the Downtown Burlingame area. I come here at least a couple of times a month. The food is great, though I admit I'm quite boring in that I typically order their chicken souvlaki plate. The one time that the kitchen did not prepare my ordered item in a timely fashion, I was given their appetizer combo plate on the house as an apology. I do think the restaurant excels with their chicken souvlaki plate, appetizer dips, and knafeh. The other times I have strayed from my typical order, I have noticed the protein on a plate (i.e. lamb) to be cooked a little dry though the seasoning was still great. The reason I give this place a 5* review (compared to 4*) is largely for the staff's attentiveness and kindness. On every other occasion I have been here, the staff seems to always provide baklava and Turkish tea on the house. Overall, the consistent quality of the food and the service are the reasons I return here. Perhaps next time I will finally order something different! read more

I like it! I thought I had been here before, but I guess not. Stopped in for a dinner on a Tuesday night and it's an order at the counter type of spot. It was nice and at one point got pretty busy. I wanted chicken shawarma originally but it was going to be 20 mins so instead they made me a chicken souvlaki wrap. Also had the Muhammara dip as well! It was thick but good! I think for how much dip you get, more pita would have been needed, but we didn't finish all our pita or dip anyways. Inside it's clean, large, it's great. Would totally come back. read more

Omg I wont even post my pics because it doesn't do it justice. This place is AMAZING. I got the Winter Salad, greek fries and E got a gyro plate. We ordered to go but they told us to have a seat and one of the employees brought us over some hot tea and baklava. Soo good we ordered baklava to go. The food was amazing and we will definitely return read more

Came here after a good work out and it has a wide variety food. I got the chicken gyro plate. Service was pretty quick because you have to order at the cashier first and then they bring the food to you. They have lots of seating and they even have heaters in the outside patio. Good for groups too. I love how they serve us free tea and dessert after our meal. That was a bonus! read more

I recently had lunch with a friend here. It was the first visit for both of us, and we had been debating over several restaurants in the neighborhood to try out. I'm glad we settled on this one. It was midday during the week and not very busy inside (just a few people). I don't know if it gets more crowded at other times, but we enjoyed the spacious, inviting layout of booths and tables. The ambiance was nice and mellow. The owners were friendly and attractive. You order at the counter and the food is brought over to you, like many places. There were lots of menu items to choose from: a good variety of middle eastern and mediterranean sandwiches, salads, and combo plates. My friend and I both ordered salads and added salmon. We also got a hummus dip appetizer with pita slices. The food was fresh and delicious! And the service was great. They took great care of us and never pressured us to leave, even though it felt like we stayed for two hours (I can't remember how long we were there). The owner even gifted us some dessert to take home and try when we were leaving. This seems like a relatively new business. My recommendation is to support it and go eat there! Prices seem very reasonable for what they serve and where they are located. read more

Judging by everyone else's reviews, I'm going to say that we must have just gone on a really off night. Looking over the menu, I wasn't too hungry so a salad seemed like it would hit the spot. All the fixings on the beets and green really spoke to me so I opted to go with it and come on, it's really not Mediterranean without some gyro. Upon delivery, it was impressive! The lamb and beef gyro sat tall and the salad looked super fresh! Unfortunately, the gyro meat turned out to be jerky nuggets. It was cold, hard and dry. If it came off the spit, shame for still serving it. If it sat under a heat lamp for hours, shame for still serving it. I ate half the salad with it on but ultimately picked it all off. There goes $7. Luckily, the salad itself was delicious! The green lentils, quinoa, walnuts, beets, and dried apricots were excellent! We also shared the side of falafels which looked a little well done but were surprisingly fluffy inside. BF's chicken souvlaki wasn't quite the size of other Mediterranean plates in the area but I will commend the chicken for being very tender. The hummus on the plate though.....um, I think the oil used was bad. It had a really off putting bitterness to it and reminded me of rancid oil. Service also wasn't quite present. Upon trying to get water after ordering, I was politely informed that they'll bring it over to us - great! They never came except to deliver our orders. We had to get back up and get our own. Sigh. All in all, dinner came to $53 and....unfortunately was not a recommended experience this time. The ambiance is nice though? read more

I recently visited Mediterranean Kitchen and was so impressed. The space is delightfully decorated and offers a heated patio as well as indoor spaces. We ordered at the counter then took our seats. Yes, the food was fresh, high-quality, and absolutely delicious. But what really sold Mediterranean Kitchen was their truly exceptional service! They brought our table complimentary pita and dips (Tzatziki, red peppers, and Baba ghanoush). When we finished our entrees, we were brought tea and chocolate baklava to finish off the meal. I think I'll be dreaming of that chocolate baklava for a while... :) The team at Mediterranean Kitchen did a great job providing a dining experience that is all too rare these days.

We came here for first time and ordered two salads with chicken. It took them over 30 minutes to bring our food out (keeping in mind simple order). Everyone who came after us was getting their food. They apparently lost our "ticket" and paid no attention. Water also dispensed too slow, ice in the ice box half melted. Food was just ok. Not worth 50 dollars for bland salad with chicken.

From start to finish, our experience at Mediterranean Kitchen in Burlingame was phenomenal.

Our waters arrived promptly, and the appetizer came out in great time, followed by the main course with just the right pause in between. It gave us the opportunity to chat and truly enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. To top it off, we were served tea at the end and offered to-go boxes, with the staff checking in to make sure everything was perfect. Every detail was thoughtful and well-paced. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. Mediterranean Kitchen truly exceeded our expectations, and we'll definitely be back! read more

This place was amazing from the food, service and the attentive and very friendly staff. Me and my daughter came to dinner and we both enjoyed everything we ordered. I ordered the lamb skewers and my daughter ordered the chicken plate. The meat on both dishes were super moist and juicy. The rice, hummus and salad that came with the plates was very tasty and accommodating. We also order Greek fries and those were super yummy and a large portion. We received complimentary tea and baklava (chocolate baklava) OMG super moist and delicious. I never had chocolate - by far worth coming just for that. The owners walk around and make sure everything is good. They have covered eating area that is open but very comfortable with the heated lamps they have. I will definitely be back again very soon read more

Met up with a couple of ladies for lunch at Mediterranean Kitchen in Burlingame. We were looking for a reasonably priced restaurant kind of between Santa Cruz and San Francisco and this came up as a reasonable choice for all of us. We got here at about 11 on a Sunday and didn't know what to expect, but, given the high rating on Yelp, we figured we couldn't go wrong. Yes, it was pretty good, but it was the service that made it a four star (would've actually been five stars if I was only rating service). This is a casual order-at-the counter dining establishment. They bring the food to your table when it's ready. I ordered the lamb wrap and it was good in flavor, but a bit on the dry side. It could've used a lot more tomato, cucumber, lettuce, and tahini sauce to make it moister or maybe the lamb shouldn't be cooked as long. Regardless, it was a bit dry for me. My dining companions said their choices were "good" too. The thing that made this a four star experience (pushing up to five, even) was the complimentary baklava and tea they brought us at the end of our meal! It was such a welcome surprise and so sweet! Not too many restaurants would do this! The baklava was a bit too sweet for me, but I just really appreciated the gesture and hospitality extended. I'd return just because they were so nice! read more
