We had dinner here again tonight Oct 22,2025 still amazing service by the server her name is is Serena . There's no disappointment when it comes to the food platters that we ordered. We will still comeback. read more

Wow. We noticed this place a few weeks ago but it was packed so we went to the little Burmese joint around the corner and made a mental note to get back to this adorable little spot. First, I wasn't excited about having to order at the counter, I didn't realize they had the app ordering at the table. That said, the woman at the register was friendly and helpful so I'll likely do that next time too. They have an extensive menu and some GF options (although I just took my digestive enzymes and had the gyros) but I knew what I wanted so the choice was easy. Dolmades Greek salad Gyros plate (lamb & beef) Everything was fresh (yes, I ate the pita bread and I don't care if you judge me) well seasoned and delicious. The salad was truly a meal in itself and for $10 worth every dime. We didn't get any grilled shrimp but I would do that next time. The DOLMADES! YES! Excellent, seasoned rice and the tzatziki was delicious. Now, the main event! The gyros meat was chopped and a bit crispy! HOW? The meat was accompanied with rice and a small salad and hummus (the smoothest ever). Just when we thought we couldn't love this place more, we asked one of the gentlemen (pictured here) what he was carrying and he said "Turkish tea" we made a mental note to try that next trip and behold...he came back with tea for two and baklava (yup...ate that too...Judge away!). The hospitality, the ambience, the food...this spot is a win. read more

I love the food here but unfortunately I went on a Saturday and ate there. The waitress with the long black hair is nothing short of unpleasant. I asked her for a to go container and before I was able to ask her for something else I needed she didn't let me get more than one sentence in before she abruptly turned around and walked away. Unfortunately she didn't this to me twice. I truly hope that management reads this as I have been coming to this restaurant for a year now and don't feel that I want to return because of this rude and unprofessional behavior. read more

Love the atmosphere that provides both indoor and patio seating. Videos play on screens of beautiful Mediterranean scenes. Service was amazing! Very attentive and accommodated my need to charge my laptop. Offered a hotntea to my wife on the house. Food was delicious. Great flavors and freshness. Will return again when we are in the area. read more

This is my all time favorite restaurant and go to spot to catch up with friends and enjoy delicious food. The restaurant is warm and inviting and hosts the perfect spot to sit, enjoy, and chat for hours on end! The staff is so kind, attentive, and generous. Every time I come here, they always treat us with extra goodies like tea, baklava, and hummus. Their food is DELICIOUS! My personal favorites are the falafel and chicken lemon soup (it's seriously a hug in a cup)! Seriously can't recommend this place enough. You won't be disappointed! read more

Mediterranean Kitchen - Mediterranean Near Me - Burlingame, California

Mediterranean Kitchen is located in downtown Burlingame, across the street from Starbucks, with (metered) street parking available (it was free over the weekend when we came). Since we were down the street at Sunright Tea Studio (that is newly opened), we decided to make a to go order (it was raining this past Saturday evening) for dinner. I made an order online and ended up purchasing: Lamb Shish Kebob Plate, $17.95 prior to tax- My husband decided upon this entree in which it came with rice, a side salad, hummus and pita bread. I didn't eat any of his food but he said he really enjoyed the rice and thought the lamb was cooked perfectly. Greek Salad, $9.95 + Chicken, $5.95 (prices prior to tax)- I opted for a salad and added chicken to it for protein. I had requested for the salad dressing and feta cheese to be placed on the side and was happy to see that they both were packed separately in tiny containers. The salad size was a good portion for 2 to share. I actually only ate half of my salad and saved the other half for another meal 2 days later (and surprisingly it was still just fine, especially with use of romaine lettuce, that typically holds up well over a day or two). The chicken was nicely seasoned and the portion of it was plenty. I wished both my meal and my husband's had more pita bread. Kunefe, $7.95 prior to tax- Kunefe is a dessert that has a layer of cheese (I think its mozzarella or similar) that is baked between two layers of crispy pastry treads. There is also a drizzle of sugar syrup and chopped nuts. I really liked this dessert, especially the textures. The dessert itself wasn't too sweet, which is something I like and would order this again. ----------------------- (Total= $45.82 after tax) Since it was pouring, I waited in the car while my husband walked to the restaurant to get our order (I walked to Sunright Tea earlier in the pouring rain while my husband waited in the car, so it was his turn to walk in the rain). My husband was greeted by a friendly employee who apologized and said our order wouldn't be ready for another 2- 3 minutes. So he offers my husband to sit and asked if he wanted water while he waited. The employee had said that there was just one more item from our order that isn't quite ready (which I suspect was the kunefe and think it probably just needed a few extra minutes in the oven). Although it was pouring, my husband told me he was surprised that the outdoor (covered) seating area was packed with people and that no one was dining inside (odd isn't it? I guess Northern California folks don't mind rain so much). Overall, we had a great experience with Mediterranean Kitchen and would love to dine here again in the near future. read more

Quick take: the best sides The sides on the plates are top tier. Chicken gyro plate is the go to, but the moussaka and shrimp plates are also solid choices. Also got to enjoy the Turkish tea this time. 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

I sat outside and ordered from the QR code. My food came quickly and it was both healthy and delicious. The tzatziki is thick and perfectly seasoned, and the falafel are just right. I also had a beet, kale, and walnut salad that was fresh and crisp. As I was finishing my meal, the server brought me a piece of sweet, flaky baklava and Turkish tea served the traditional way in a tulip-shaped glass set on a little saucer. She said it was on the house. That was such a nice touch! The tea is aromatic and tastes like rose - a perfect accompaniment to the pistachio baklava. Next time I'm in Burlingame, I'll definitely come back! read more

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. There is another Mediterranean place on the avenue next to crepe vine with better food and service read more

This place exceeded my expectations. The food was great and fresh. My combo gyros plate was well balanced and also came with hummus and a salad. With the utmost urgency, our server ran over with a plate of hummus and pita. And asserted it was on the house. Wow! The atmosphere was great and added to the enjoyment of our meal. Nice open space, clean, and energetic music (but not obnoxious and not too loud). As we finished our meal a waitress came with tea and baklava for me and my girlfriend. She said it was on the house! This totally made my day. Clearly they care about their customers and I will be returning. read more

I got the lamb and beef gyro plate. I like how I can sub rice for more salad without an extra cost. However the gyro was pretty dry. I'd come back again to try the kofta, which my husband got, but I'll avoid the gyro at all cost. Portion was big so you'll be stuff after this meal even if you're not eating any rice. There's front patio seating with heated lamps which on a cold day can be warmer than sitting inside. read more

Mediterranean Kitchen offers an excellent selection of appetizers, spreads, bowls, wraps, rice plate entrees, and desserts. We've been here twice and really like the CHICKEN LEMON SOUP with orzo and a generous amount of chicken MIXED COMBO GRILL (Combination of Chicken Souvlaki, Beef Shish Kebab, Lamb And Beef Gyros & Chicken Gyros) LAMB AND BEEF SHISH KEBAB CHICKEN GYRO PLATE (though I think the CHICKEN SOUVLAKI is better) The above dishes are served with tasty rice, hummus, salad, and pita On a subsequent visit, I had, BUT would NOT recommend the GRILLED SALMON AND PRAWNS COMBINATION PLATE (though the prawns, salad, and rice were really good, the fish was dry and did not taste fresh). For someone craving seafood, I would stick with the prawns. The entire staff is super friendly and attentive. The ambience is really nice. And for those with attention deficit disorder (for which I can relate), there are screens all over the place. Today, I simultaneously watched a tennis match, basketball game, and century old mickey mouse black and white cartoons. read more

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars because the service is exceptional. I ordered for pickup and everyone was so friendly upon my arrival. My order was hot and ready as soon as I stepped in the door, and the owner double checked that everything was there, exactly as ordered. The team even threw in a free dessert! The food was hearty, filling, and fresh. The greek spices had the right amount of zest. However, the meat was on the dry side. Especially the beef and gyros. Still tasty, but not "melt in your mouth, eyes roll to the back of your head," tasty. Maybe next time the proteins will be be more juicy and tender. But all of the sides were great. This is a solid option for a healthy, fresh, cost-effective, and filling meal. read more

This restaurant is wonderful. I love the decor, but more importantly the food and service. I ordered a combo plate of gyros and the presentation was beautiful. The tahini, hummus, and everything else was on point. The server was very polite and even brought me a complimentary hot tea and a dessert...not sure what is was but it was honey sweet like baklava...but had strands of wheat (or something) across it. Excellent place!!!! read more

Unintentionally stumbled on this place while looking for a quick bite, and I was pretty surprised by how great this place was! There's a fairly extensive menu so there's plenty to try! The concept is that you come in, order at the counter, and find a table to take a seat in. We came in for lunch on a Tuesday, and there were plenty of seats indoors and outdoors. Service was pretty quick, and food came out in about 10 minutes. We ordered the chicken souvlaki plate, as well as the lamb and beef gyros hummus bowl. Highly, highly recommend the chicken souvlaki plate!! It came with a side salad, as well as rice that was really well flavored. The chicken cubes were tender and juicy, and they were seasoned perfectly. The lamb and beef gyros hummus bowl was also delicious, but I felt that the ratio of protein to hummus was a bit off. Also wished they provided more pita bread for the hummus bowl. Mediterranean Kitchen made it to become my favorite Mediterranean spot in the Bay Area. Flavor was all there and would highly recommend giving this place a try!! read more

I've come here for well over 2 years and this place is by far the best Mediterranean spot in the peninsula. Besides amazing food the staff and incredibly inviting and friendly. One of the owners Ali always gives me free tea and baklava that I try desperately to pay for but he refuses. Once you're a regular here they take care of you. Dining is much more than an experience of food, it's culture. The culture here at MK is exactly what small towns deserve. read more

Surprisingly no line, almost empty Saturday at 12:15. All of the eateries on Burlingame Avenue are packed with very long lines. After eating here 3 times, I do not know why there are so many positive reviews. It's rarely busy here and the food is just ok. The special lamb dumplings lacked flavor. Other dishes were barely average. Staff is very nice, but that does not compensate for lackluster food when there are so many other alternatives nearby. read more

We ate here for the first time in a long time and were completely disappointed. The chicken and lamb and beef gyro meat used to be so lean and delicious. This time, they were fatty and chewy. The fries used to be crispy and well-seasoned. Today, they were soggy and unsalted. The hummus used to have a perfect consistency and flavor. Today, it was a runny salt bomb. Also, the portions have also been greatly reduced. Maybe the worst part: they no longer serve beer and wine. Bummer. I'm not sure what happened to this place. It used to be so good. read more

Nice staff! Large portions as far as salad, beautiful neighborhood and a sweet white and blue outside seating area .

Appetizer combo plate always hits the spot! Whenever I don't know what to eat, or after not eating so great this is my go to. Today ordered delivery, and the falafels were the BEST Ive ever had. Crispy on the outside, hot and soft on the inside. I could have eaten 20 of them. My only complaint is the pita bread. I ordered extra to go with all the combos and they sent me a burnt dry one. See picture, note that I did eat some before I remembered to take a picture. Just a little sad because they do charge extra for this. Other than that, great place to eat. read more

We were trying to find a place to eat and we couldn't decide which one we want to go. One of my friends said "Why don't we try this one?" and we are just right in front of this restaurant. We walked in and placed our orders, paid and got our number and find our own table. The Kreadopita was cold, dry and not crispy. It doesn't taste good. The Rainbow Salad and Falafel Plate were pretty tasty but for the meats in the Mix Combo Grill were so dry. We think the meat was already cooked and they just reheated it. So dry!!!!!!! This place is big and with nice music but the customer service needs to be improved ... - We have to get our own water and they forgot to give us a plate to share our food in. We think they clean the table but they don't clean the seats. The seating was kinda dirty. By the way, we got a free drink for today's promotion :) read more

Such a cozy, homey, family-run vibe! Found this place on a night where we were craving healthy food but also didn't want to cook. Located in the heart of vibrant Burlingame, the food was exactly what we were looking for! We ordered the appetizer combo platter which consisted of various Mediterranean dips served with the softest pita bread (we couldn't pick a favorite - all so good!), the combo gyro platter which had two different types of lamb, chicken, and beef (all 10/10), and the Greek salad. It's a pay before you eat kind of place, but we were so pleasantly surprised with how attentive and wonderful the service was that we added an additional tip at the end. The staff were all so kind and friendly, and they brought out a complimentary dessert + hot tea after our meal. Would definitely dine again! read more

Wonderful wonderful wonderful! I love the food! The appetizer combo is just splendid because you get to taste it all! I loved everything so definitely will be back for this combo plate. Not a single negative. We also ordered the combo plate which also had all the meats. With the combination of the meat plate and the appetizer combo plate, everything was complimentary to each other. You only need these two things to taste it all and fill up! The decor of the restaurant is very airy and makes you feel like you've stepped into the Mediterranean. The service is also just as friendly and welcoming with the workers always having a smile. I will be making this a regular spot to eat at. read more
