    The food, decor and customer service were wonderful. The portions are generous and the quality was great. Although I have not eaten Mediterranean/Turkish food often but this is really inspiring me to try more.

    Really cool Turkish place in oceanfront! You know I would've never realized that there would be one here, especially by the beach. We got the Turkish coffee with chocolate, which was an amazing drink to wind down because it's way too hot to drink in Wingo lol. We also got the tea, which was nice and very very hot. And we've got the lamajun, which is like their Turkish flatbread. Definitely worthwhile to go, especially it's in the middle of the oceanfront.

    We enjoyed our meal at the the Mosaic Cafe in VA Beach today! We got the mosaic omelette, Greek Omelette and the Chocolate Chip Pancakes. The pancakes where delish! But, unfortunately the eggs where very overcooked. Otherwise, the Decor and service was great! I would recommend for anyone staying near the Oceanside in VA Beach!

    Disclaimer: am rating a carryout order of kunefe. The service rating was that staff asked how I can be helped and for my online order being ready when I picked it up The kunefe was alright, nothing outstanding. Having lived in DC/NoVA for 30 years there are more authentic and delicious kunefe. Another issue I have is that the photos of kunefe shown seem to have a scoop of ice cream? But my carryout order just had the kunefe.

    Great variety of food options from breakfast to lunch. We ordered the egg and cheese sandwich with turkey bacon and the Mosaic Pide--both were really good. As someone who doesn't eat pork, I appreciated the peace of mind knowing it wouldn't be served by mistake. The restaurant has a cute atmosphere, and I liked the touch of Arab-style seating, though the chairs could be a bit more comfortable. Service was solid--nothing exceptional, but nothing to complain about either. This is a must-stop for me, whenever I'm in Virginia Beach. I look forward to having it!

    Happy family. Exploring Turkish food

    Amazing authentic food. Wonderful service and tasting. Large booths so you can sit at least 8 comfortably. Friendly staff. They shared ideas of what to eat and upcoming events. Their future plans. Possible air BnB coming decorated Turkish style.

    What an amazing food experience very close to the beach. My husband and I decided to try something different and we found this great Turkish restaurant thanks to Yelp after visiting the aquarium. We ordered the platter for 2 which was plenty of food for both of us and also my very hungry toddler. My husband ordered the Turkish coffee (which he said was very authentic and brought him back to his time living in Turkey). Our server was so kind and attentive and even prepared a special coffee that was not on the menu for me since I'm not a huge fan of strong coffee, - it was so so good! The food was delicious, the service was amazing and even though my somewhat feral toddler was at times crawling around the booth, they were so understanding and helpful. I highly recommend this restaurant for those who want to try something different and delicious (they also have an American menu -burgers, pizza, smoothies, etc.) l. My only recommendation to the owners is perhaps to get a high chair that it's lower so babies/toddlers are at the same level of the tables that way they can eat as well. Also, idk if we got lucky or the timing was great but we were able to park a block and a half away, a maybe 3-4 minute walk on the street for free.

    My friends and I were looking for a place to get food to go for the beach. I got the mango smoothie and the chicken tender combo which was a lot of food and it includes a drink. My other friend got the same thing and we could've easily split it between the two of us. The food was good though. The staff were really friendly too.

    This was was so good! We stumbled upon it after two unsuccessful attempts to eat somewhere else. Third place was a charm! The staff was really nice and sweet. The Turkish are always welcoming and these folks carried on the tradition. My husband and I spit the Mosaic Pide. It was fantastic! Chewy with just the right amount of crunch. We added a little of the hot sauce for some extra kick and it made it even better. My son had the Mosaic Burger and fries. He loved it! He said he figured it was better than any place he wanted to eat at first. We also had the hummus. We had extra and were able to snag some extra pita when we carried it out. I'm sure we'll go back for breakfast before we leave. Do not skip on this place!

    My friend found this place scoping out places to get desserts and hang out. It's located on Atlantic Avenue on the strip. So parking can be a bear to find. The inside decor is confusing, because it has western rustic cabin style furniture/seating mixed with pretty middle eastern/Mediterranean lights and decor. It's a huge space with plenty of seating. To the right when you enter is the counter where you order your food and pay. Once you pay they provide a table number for you to sit and they bring the food to you. I would have preferred to seat myself or have had the choice of choosing where to sit. We ended up grouped next to other tables already occupied. I'm thinking this was done to make it easier to serve the food? We were astonished by the massive menu they offer. I honestly didn't browse further than the desserts and drinks because I found it overwhelming. The tea options looked pretty good. I didn't choose any Mediterranean desserts because I was more in the mood for something chocolatey. But the smoothies and other fruit drinks sounded and looked divine. The mosaic milkshake was good, but not phenomenal. Honestly, you can't go wrong with peanut butter, bananas and chocolate unless of course you don't like any of those things or are allergic to it. However, I don't feel the shake warranted an $8 price tag. I know I've paid $15 before at the Yard milkshake bar, but that diabetes in a mason jar tasted really good and basically had mini cakes and extras added to it. My sister later ordered some Turkish coffee. The presentation was pretty cool. I loved how it's served on a silver tray with chocolate that looks like tiny colored rocks and in a dainty cup. The presentation alone is worth it. My other friend had the mangonada. It's a nice clean space with a lot of options, but I think because it's located at the oceanfront, the prices are on the higher side. It's a better choice and reprieve from the other touristy eateries on the strip. I would be willing to go back and try their entrees if I'm at the oceanfront or if it's during the off season. I personally am not a fan of going to the oceanfront due to the lack of parking and busyness. The oceanfront is just too chaotic and not relaxing for my taste. But if you're staying at a hotel on the strip or at the beach, anyway, definitely give it a try! PARKING: We opted to save time and just park at the lot across from peabody's. I wouldn't recommend parking there unless you plan to stay a good portion of your day at the oceanfront because it costs $10. If you can I recommend either finding meter parking/street parking or biking there if you live in the vicinity or happen to have your bike. If you're staying at the hotels on the strip, just walk to it.

    Adana shush kabab wrap, Yes I ate it and it was good!
    Charlene W.

    I loved Turkish food when I was in Ankara and after talking about Turkey I decided I wanted Turkish. Mosaic happened to be right around the corner and I'm so glad! I ordered the Adana shish kabab which has lamb and beef. After the initial confusion over my order they brought my lamb and it was delicious! Seasoned perfectly, spicy, with traditional yogurt sauce on the side to cool the tongue. If you're in Virginia Beach I highly recommend Mosaic for the Adana! I also had the chicken kabob, provided by accident, but it didn't come close in taste to the seasoned Adana! If you're not a spicy person maybe the chicken kabab is for you I highly recommend a visit.

    This place is fantastic! Beautiful decor and very clean! Staff were extremely friendly, our service was extremely quick. Our drinks were delicious and fresh. Our food was rich and had so much taste to it. Very reasonably priced.

    The food was delicious, and the smoothie was so refreshing, I ordered the strawberry watermelon one, highly recommend it. We also ordered the hummus and pita bread and they give you a generous amount of hummus, could've used more pita tho lol, but the spinach pide was so delicious, loved the carmalized onions on it, very flavorful. Service was fast and friendly and I loved the decor. I would come here again!

    5 STARS -- A Standout Mediterranean Street Food Gem in Virginia Beach…read more My experiences with Mr. Sharma go back to their original Norfolk location, where I first met their personable owner, Avi and partner Tal. Both are incredibly skilled at what they do. Their passion for Mediterranean street food shows in every detail of the operation. I've now visited the new Beach location on Laskin Road several times, and each visit reinforces just how impressive this business is. Last year, Avi even gave me a tour of the back of the house. It's state-of-the-art--spotless stainless steel everywhere, top-tier equipment, and a layout that shows real thought and pride in the craft. Parking when busy can offer challenges, but I had no issue. They offer a clean dining room to enjoy your food inside, or on a nice day alfresco on their patio. Customers self bus their tables. On my most recent visit, I ordered Avi's favorite dish, the chicken shawarma in a pita pocket. Outstanding--easily one of the best versions I've had that's loaded with humus, slaw, fries and their in-house sauces. I also met the general manager, Melissa, who was warm, friendly, and clearly invested in maintaining the high standards of freshness that make this place shine. She mentioned that Avi is back in Israel but still travels often, which tracks with the care and consistency the team maintains. I also had samples of their amazing falafel and egg plant which is like candy...yum! The Virginia Beach restaurant itself is clean, bright, and incredibly well put-together. A detail most people will miss, but shouldn't--is the noise-reducing ceiling panels. It's the kind of thoughtful touch that tells you the owners think about every part of the customer experience. Mr. Sharma is one of the most overlooked fast-casual restaurants in Virginia Beach, and frankly, it shouldn't be. This is a long overdue review and it's an easy five stars from me. If you haven't visited their new Laskin Road location yet, you're missing out. Mr. Shawarma holds a special place in my heart and cannot recommend enough.
