Went on a Saturday, mid-afternoon, so we missed the live entertainment. That's okay; maybe another time. The food, service and surroundings were quite good, so we'll be back. Really enjoyed the homemade pita. Warm and delicious. Ordered the Shawarma Combo, beef and chicken, and it was superb! Delicious spicing, good portion size and the rice and salad were very good as well. Very happy with the food. Service was friendly, efficient and helpful. We felt valued and appreciated, and we did our best to return the good vibes to our server. Looking forward to another visit, and soon! read more

So first we came to this place because the website said it had hookah and it was open Upon arrival at 1 pm was told hookah is not sever till 6 pm which would have been helpful in the website Decided to stay and eat as long as we are here First we had for appetizer jalapeño hummus Did not taste like jalapeño or hummus We had the chicken beef and shush kabob all bland no flavor disgusting and over priced Ugh read more

Delicious food, large menu, good service, we sat outside it was a beautiful day. I had the shawarma dish it came with salad, yellow rice and humus. Try their desserts, Chocolate mouse cake was yummy!! read more

Ordered take out for the first time. They are offering dine in services and there is outdoor seating. Tried the mixed grill plate for 1 and a vegetarian platter. Not cheap but a great amount of food for 2 people - could feed 3 or 4. While not every Mediterranean flavor is for me, the meat, rice, salad, tabbouleh were all awesome. Highly recommend! read more

Mijana has consistent great fresh food. The service is always warm and friendly. Great place for music and dance - salsa night, tango night, belly dancing... The chicken shawarma platter is a fav. Hummus is tasty. They have a full bar with a decent wine. read more

We have eaten here for over 4 years. Today we drove all the way from Casa Grande(65 miles). I called first to see if we could dine in and was told it was available. When we entered the restaurant we were met by a young woman who immediately told us it was carry out only! I told her we were informed that fine in was available at the Tempe location. Her reply was that there was only a staff of 3 people and they have a big order. I asked her if she was telling us to leave. She said that no one will attend to us because they have a "big" take out order! We left.... this was the rude staff and customer service I have experienced in a long time. We felt as though we didn't matter and from the beginning of the encounter it was clearly communicated that we had little or no priority. I will NEVER return to Mijana again!!! You've lost and old customer!!!! Train your staff and get your communication straight!!! Shameless!!! read more

Love this place! Fresh, delicious food (chicken shawarma platter is my favorite) and warm, hospitable service are always experienced at Mijana. It's a great place for music and dance from around the world, too. Lots of live and djed music, belly dance, salsa night, tango night, etc... Highly recommend!!! read more

We went here for lunch today! Really impressed with food and the service! Cathy was our server snd was so helpful as we asked her for suggestions!!! We ordered a lunch for two.

Food was good service was good, the lighting was okay we had to use a flashlight on our phone to read the menu. We would definitely absolutely go. We would definitely absolutely go back. It's more on the expensive side then what we are used to but we got a lot of leftovers read more

Not a big reviewer but Manessa and the Mijana fam took amazing care of us, felt like I had to show my appreciation. We came in with a group of 16 and ate, drank and danced for hours. Everyone left full and happy, service was amazing. Recommend going on Friday night for Salsa night! Thanks again Mijana. We'll be back! read more

I love this place. The dancers are fun on Friday and Saturday! We come over from Glendale.

This is definitely my favorite restaurant in town! The service is amazing & the restaurant has such a fun atmosphere with live DJs & belly dancing. The food is unbelievable Mediterranean food! Everything from the hummus & baba ganoosh to the meat kebabs are unbeatable. Would definitely recommend a visit to this restaurant! read more

A great restaurant with wonderful food and excellent service! I have been coming to Mijana since it first opened and have always enjoyed it. Love the Mediterranean Chicken Salad and the Lamb Chops. There is plenty going on during the week including Tango, Salsa, Live performers, DJ's and Belly Dancing. Mijana is truly a hidden gem in the valley! read more

This place was just ok. I ordered the lamb chops and it was way over priced. For 30.00 I don't want to see French fries on my plate with an amateur cucumber salad. But it was good. The restaurant itself had an ok atmosphere, then again my friend and I were the only ones inside. Hanging from the ceiling were these disgusting fly traps and an annoying fly that kept bothering me, and quite frankly, ruined my meal. The waitress was very friendly and bubbly. I liked her. She saved my experience from rating this place a 1. I'm sure this place is better than this, just go when there is more of a crowd. read more

Mijana - So far, looks good - Mediterranean Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The portions are large enough to share and the food is fresh but they use more garlic or garlic salt than I like. The service is kind of slower even though there were only a couple of tables to wait on, maybe because the food was being made fresh - not sure. Solid four star place! read more

Very clean. Located just off the Loop 202 freeway. This place has the best Lebanese food in Arizona; not to mention their bread that is baked in house, and fresh each day. There is even live music and belly dancing on certain nights. read more

Went for lunch. Good service. Friend had lamb shank. I had chicken kabob. My friend liked the lamb shank. My meal was okay. Didn't care too much for the rice, not very tasty. The jalapeños hummus was the star.. hot homemade pita bread serve with it. read more

Excellent service, excellent flavor in all foods. I am not a vegetarian and I even enjoyed those dishes. All foods are Halal, which I found out is very similar to the Jewish kosher preparation. I would and am recommending this to anyone who enjoys eating, good food and a great environment! read more

We were looking for a place to eat and we found this spot. Owner was very welcoming, he came to introduce himself And ask us about the food and the ambiance(he's from Lebanon). They have a buffet this month(i think it's for ramadan) - i shared some of the pictures. The food is amazing! Delicious mix of spices and character. I tried: Lamb with rice, kobde, Hummus, Dessert (mhalabia) The place has some music in the week-end. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Came here for dinner on a Monday night but will definitely be back on a Friday or Saturday for the live band + belly dancing. We got the pita, hummus and zahtar to begin with and it was exceptional! We also ordered the lentil soup, kofta pita wrap, salad, and the chicken shawarma plate. The kofta, chicken and rice was delicious! They make their pita fresh daily. You can also tell everything was very fresh. Will definitely be back. read more

This place is horrible with bad ownership. We booked a cooking class and confirmed on the phone with the owner. We showed up and they said nope- not today! Talked to the owner and asked for a refund. He was rude and said nope- I don't care. I told him it was poor business and I would review accordingly. His comment "I don't care I like bad reviews" and hung up! Don't waste your time and money here! read more

Authentic Lebanese style establishment! Love the extensive menu and they have great fresh pita. Belly dancer was on point and a nice touch! read more

Mijana - Ready for some GREAT Lebanese food and dancing - Mediterranean Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I was directed to a seat and spent 25 minutes waiting dor anyone to take an order. They weren't that busy, just didn't seem to care that I was at a seat right next to the terminal used to place orders. I guess they don't want any more customers. read more

this was my first time coming, and I ordered the lamb shank. It was so tender and delicious. I would highly recommend for anybody to come here. the portions are huge and I had to take some home. read more

The food tasted exactly as it should. Made fresh, including the pita bread which I asked for more. The proportions of each dish were great. I noticed they have bellydancing on certain days with live band performance. The waitress was considerate letting me know my dishes were going to take ten minutes to finish which I appreciate, as not everyone does this. Best Lebanese restaurant! I'll be returning. read more

The food was delicious However, I went during a Dj set of drum and bass and a cockroach dropped from somewhere ( while at the bar) onto the hummus, freaked out my friend cuz initially we thought it was a fly .. nope German cockroach.. they'd have gotten at least 4 stars for the food. Gross read more

Completely rude waitress/hostess. She couldn't care less about us and we were the only customers in the place on a weekday at 3pm. Food was sub-par and they didn't have baklava. Highly disappointed. We went Down the street to a cafe/bakery (to get said baklava) and wished we had eaten there. It had much better atmosphere and customer service and all kinds of baklava! read more

I ordered delivery from here and this is for sure my new spot. The food is way too large of portions so you'll get to have leftovers and it's soooo yummy! I love Mediterranean food and this is definitely one of the best places around here if not the best in my opinion. read more

Beef Shawarma wrap with fries and falafel was excellent, everything on menu is Halal per the server. Also tried Baklava, it was amazing.

One of the worst restaurant experiences we have ever had. Horrible service, even worse manager. Drinks took 40 minutes to arrive, the food came another 40 minutes later without any explanation of tardiness. The check took another 40 minutes to arrive. We later learned that the poor excuse for a manager is making the wait staff tend to be hookah bar next door. No wonder everything is so slow. We came with a Groupon and will never return. We also watched another table complain to the manager, who proceeded to verbally assault her, and cause a huge scene in front of the entire restaurant. This place is a disgrace to hospitality everywhere. We would not come back here at gun point. read more

I have to update my review. The amount of screeching that is done by the dj is awful and unprofessional. Prepare for your ears to be pierced by the noise. I'm not sure where our waiter went it's been 25 min since I have had the menu and hasn't showed up. Save your ears and appetite. You will leave this place deaf and hungry. read more

Really enjoyed the whole dinner experience. Food was superb. Lamb shanks to Schwarma is great. Service is okay but the dance show is fantastic. read more

This place had the absolute worst service I have ever experienced in my entire life. Our server stopped by the table one time and never returned. Not to mention she completely forgot an entire order and it never even arrived when she said she was bringing it out. When confronting the owner of the restaurant he got in our faces stating "I work hard all night you see it like get out of my face. You're better terrible people cheap asses." My mother damn near threw up she was so upset with how she was treated. I can't believe the owner of a restaurant Would just treat a patron like that... he then got in my face and told me to go f**k myself and threatened me. DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE GARBAGE!!!!!! read more

Yesterday, I was at this amazing Lebanese restaurant with my Lebanese colleagues. Their service is amazing but on top of that their food is mind blowing especially hummus with pita bread, fattoush salad( must recommended). They also have a traditional belly dance show on Friday and Saturday night. read more

First timer hoping to get some amazing Lebanese Food. We ordered the Chicken Biryani, Chicken kebab sandwich, and Tabbouleh. We were served complimentary pita bread which was hot & puffed up straight from the oven. They gave us an olive oil dipping sauce which had basil and different kinds of seeds in it including sesame seeds. Nice bread and dip! The biryani presented as some yellow rice at the bottom of the plate and many small pieces of chicken on top. The chicken looked dry and when we tried it it was super dry. Hubby said, "I can't it this, I won't eat this". Wow. Usually he makes due with his dishes but after I tasted it, I realized how right he was! The dish was exchanged gracefully by the server who explained that the chicken is cooked first and then it is cooked a second time when it is time to serve. That explains it! In its stead, we ordered the ground meat kebab which came with yellow rice and a salad--a Much better dish. The tabbouleh was really good. The chicken sandwich, wrapped in a warm pita, was good & fresh, but the chicken lacked flavor. Chicken has to marinate in spices and herbs for at least 24 hours if you are to get any type of flavorful meat when you grill it. I ate most of it but the motivation to finish it was not there. The chicken I did eat I did so because I dipped it into the yogurt sauce they served with the meal which was really good. But the chicken should stand on its own without any add on's. Later in the evening, a belly dancer began her performance and it is too bad that most people were chatting away and not really paying attention. She did her best to entertain the crowd. Food wise, Mijana should improve its flavor profile especially on the meats and of course overcooking meat is a sin of great proportions. read more

Originally found this spot through Groupon and it was the best little find! I felt extremely safe dining inside the restaurant. Our waitress was extremely dedicated to our service and just overall she seemed like a nice person who wanted us to have a nice meal, which I definitely appreciated. The food was just so good! Way beyond what I expected for Mediterranean food in Tempe honestly. I immediately purchased another Groupon upon leaving and I will no doubt, be back shortly. read more

Mijana - Side taboole, Mijana Mixed Grill for 2. - Mediterranean Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

"Is there anything else we can help you with?" We were asked this question repeatedly Friday night. Arriving for a 7:30pm reservation we had our pick of tables as there weren't many diners. Given the choice we eagerly sat in an available booth. We both sat on the cushioned seating against the wall. Given our experience I'd recommend sticking with standard chairs, for reasons you may, or may not agree with. "Are you ready to order?" Belly dancing is from 7-9pm (ended earlier). A wonderful show is put on near the stage. Tables in the center part of the restaurant (and the booths) have prime viewing. As this was my first visit I fastidiously reviewed the drink menu. To my delight there was a curious mix of drinks available. Margaritas. Long Island Ice Teas. Martinis. Jägermeister - Yeah. That was on there. As a drink. Neat. Nothing quite traditional sounding so I went with wine. In the meantime a glass of water was brought out. "Can we help you?" "Are you ready to order?" Erm- We'd just opened the drink menus. Not quite. I explained this was my first visit. Hoping to hear something, anything. a handout to what a mezza might be, instead I heard. "I would recommend ordering the Mixed Grill for Two...It has mwah mwah mwah mwah" said incredibly fast. I blinked. She said the name of another dish quickly. I blinked. And then - "Do you need a few more minutes?" Yes. I suppose so. 36 seconds later - We opted to try the Vegetarian Platter (huge) as an appetizer. Hummus, Babaghanouj, Tabbouleh, (3) Falafel and (3) Vegetarian Dolmades. That's plenty of food to share with four people. Ambitious for two. We were granted time to deliberate our entree order a few more minutes. Instead of the Mixed Grill shared plate (which sounded interesting: skewers of Chicken Kebab, Kefta Kebob and Lamb Kebob) Lamb tempted us. Specifically Lamb Shank and Lamb Kebabs. The menu is separated into cold and hot mezzas. We made out like bandits quickly picking what we did. The food is stellar here. At this point we began an interesting game I'll call "Moving of the Plates and Glasses". We were curious what our entrees might taste like once they were dropped at the table. So we got up and moved them from the far side of the table. You know, within fork reach. Then we slid the appetizer platter out. And the bread plate. And our empty water glasses. And my wine carafe. And the empty beer bottle. (Later I had an even larger collection of glassware.) Where did everyone go? That's ok. I was distracted by the Fred Flinstone sized portion of my true to description, falling off the bone, lamb. Honest to god, I almost died. But then - oh - my date reached suddenly behind my head with his napkin. His expression frozen with intent. I paused in only what second date behavior in public warranted. "Oh? Everything ok?" "Uh. There was ... a .. bug." (IT WAS RIGHT BY MY HAIR. In the dark.) Later I asked my date to describe the bug. It's Arizona. These things happen. He said it could have waved at me. I have little hands. It was bigger than the tip of my thumb. (Also, it apparently got away.) I recommend stand alone seating. FOOD The Lamb Shank shocked me in sheer size. When I poked it with my fork gingerly the meat sighed. The grilled vegetables were delightfully seasoned, grilled and layered on top of a wonderful bed of rice. I wish I had grabbed an appropriate photo of the Lamb Shank. This is a dude's platter. Not for a girl on a date! THINGS TO KNOW + Service is hit or miss. I finally flagged down a very nice man (possibly a manager) for my 2nd glass of water. + Salsa lessons Fri/Sat night. Lights go off. Disco balls goes on. + Baklava is bone dry and hard. It was difficult to break into bite sized pieces. We returned it. + Turkish coffee is divine! + Time your dinner well before dance class. Service ...changed as dance class preparations began. DANCE HERE + It's a happening spot. When I left there was a line outside the door and beefy bouncers. Inside spectator watching (almost) made the service level worth it. + $5 Drink specials! + Friday Night Salsa is produced by AZSalsa.net "Tumbao | Latin Fridays". + Come dressed to impress! read more

This is an amazing Lebanese restaurant. The food is authentic. It feels like a place you would find in Lebanon. They're kefta kebab and hummus is the best. Looking forward to going back. To top it off they also have fresh pita bread and the desserts are homemade. Looking forward to going back with my family and friends. They also have belly dancing on Friday and Saturday nights. read more
