Headline: $18 for a Veggie Sandwich? Overpriced, Authentic in Name Only, Where is the beef?!! Save your money and check your food before you pay. I paid over $18 for a Shish Kafta sandwich that was basically all bread and garnish. I'm not exaggerating--there was barely a morsel of meat in every bite. It felt like a total rip-off!!! As someone who has worked in Middle Eastern kitchens for years, this was a massive letdown. Red flags from the start: the waitress claimed Shish Taouk (tawook) is the "fastest" item (proper chicken takes time!), and the cook wasn't even middle eastern and clearly had no idea what he was doing. The Tabbouli arrived dry and unseasoned, no lemon juice or even wedges??? I ordered the Shish Kafta ($18+), and it was an embarrassment. There was so little meat it was practically a salad wrap. When you pay nearly $20 for a sandwich, you expect a proper protein portion, not a "hint" of Kafta. No lemon, no napkins, no utensils, no attention to detail. This place relies on the name of the food without understanding the food combining principles of the recipe. Check your bag before you leave, or better yet, go elsewhere. The only thing that seemed authentic about this place is that the owner is arabic. read more

**OVERALL REVIEW** Out of all the Greek/Mediterranean food restaurants within the immediate Melbourne/Palm Bay area, Skewer Mediterranean Grill (which I will shorthand simply to Skewers for the remainder of this review) has been the one recognized as the high-end traditional dine-in restaurant. Formerly a suit-and-tie venue, Skewers has since grown to accept a more casual approach, yet keep its high-end experience. Changing with the times yet keeping their identity is one of the biggest reasons why Skewers has enjoyed prominence for so long, and if there is any place that deserves a rare five-star-review-on-their-initial-review, it is definitely Skewers. To be fair, I been going to Skewers for awhile now. I even went to Skewers before my self-induced career as a Yelper let alone an elite or all-star. Before I get to all that makes Skewers good, I will get the criticisms out of the way first. For starters, Skewers on the northside of US-192 in Indiatlantic/Beachside. This means parking is limited. Their parking lot is a travesty, too. Only one way and designed to be one direction in, too. If you park on the west side, you have to back up all the way to the street to exit. For those parking on the east side, you might get lucky if nobody is parking in front of you in the adjacent parking lot. Restroom situation is limited, too. Just a singular men and women's restroom which means a wait might happen. Now onward to all the positives. For starters, the interior is beautiful. From indoor seating, outdoor seating, and the bar, everything is high-end and runs on a precision that you'd expect at a five-star restaurant. The wait staff is very attentive even if they have numerous tables to deal with. Our waitress that initiated this review, Blair, was fantastic and even gave excellent suggestions on what I should order for the night. For the food, I ordered the Lamb Skewer dinner with an extra skewer of gyro meat, the Fattoush salad, and the Afternoon Tea Time specialty mocktail on their monthly drink specials. My good friend and adventuring sidekick, Paula, ordered the Greek Sampler. Finally, ended the night with a unique dessert that I like in all Mediterranean/Greek food, the knafeh. Details on the meals and prices are provided in the pics of the food. And of course this place is high-end so expect meals to be double-digit in dollars, going up to $50 per person for even one meal. Ultimately, I have nothing really bad to say about Skewers and everything else good to say about them, too. I have been here so many times, back when they had a simple rewards program to now in which you get even more goodies through their own app. If you ever get the chance to eat here, at least try it once. I get the price and the ambiance may be out of people's norm, but it is sitll a restaurant I highly-recommend for their experience, which includes the visual and palette-appeasing aesthetic of their food and the excellence of their service. read more

Restaurant right on street but it's tricky, parking in back. Seating inside and outside in a covered patio. Ordered hummus, pitas were thin and room temp/cold. We swapped them for an up charge of $3 to thicker Greek pitas which are warm and soft. This is worth the extra cost. Tenderloin skewers were soft and of high quality. I hate ordering steak anywhere other than a steakhouse due to it always being chewy but this was tender and melted in my mouth cooked medium. I'd order it again without hesitation. Chicken skewers had the option for a garlic sauce topping or sesame aioli sauce. Probably the sesame was better but I'll ask for both on the side next time. Lunch menu (until 4p) was cheaper and good size portions. The mixed grill also included a side of veggies along with the side salad and rice that the single skewer plates came with. This plate is for a bigger eaters. Service was fast and she was helpful. Very good meal here. (Also, looking at the "unrecommended reviews" it seems someone has it out for this restaurant and is getting all the positive reviews removed. Very strange to see almost 700 that are not being shown.) read more

Mediterranean is typically a delicious cuisine known for its tasty healthiness - add on top my professional experience working at a Mediterranean fusion restaurant, I have high expectations for these establishments. Unfortunately, Skewers did not deliver. , Most of the food was average to pretty good, but far overpriced - probably a victim (or cynical profit scheme) of its Indialantic location. Of everything I tried, here's how I'd break it down: - Bland/Normal - - Hummus & Pita - - Chicken Skewer - - Beef Skewer - - Lamb Meatballs - - Caprese - Tasty/Delicious - - Salads (both House and Signature punching above their weight class) - - Pomegranate-glazed Shrimp - - Banana Coconut Dream Cake - - Melancholy Cure Cocktail So it definitely is funny that the entrees are far too expensive for what's plated, and the flavor profiles are not as dynamic and delicious as I've experienced, as compared to the side/smaller dishes. So, unfortunately, I cannot recommend based on food, even if there are some standouts. Otherwise, the service was great! We were serviced by the incredible Blair - she and the rest of the staff definitely deserve a raise! I am glad there are outdoor and indoor dining options, because though it the car traffic did make outdoor dining an unpleasant kinda of noisy, it was more fun than sitting on the much quieter and colder inside seating! All in all, if you go, I hope your food is tastier and less expensive than it was for us! read more

Another excellent lunch! The food was perfect, and our server did a great job working with my wife's garlic/onion allergy. The mixed grill with tenderloin skewers and sesame aioli chicken remains one of my favorites. Thanks, we'll see you again soon! read more

I was visiting the area on a solo trip, I sat outside and ordered their mixed grill lunch option. I had the chicken and shrimp skewers and I got everything as it came. The shrimp had a glaze on it that was really yummy and the dish came with a side of the lemon garlic sauce which tasted amazing! I'm glad I opted for the lunch portion because it was more than enough food. The parking to this place is in the back, and I'm glad I saw someone else's review mentioning that because I didn't even consider that an option not being from the area! All in all this place was delicious when looking for a clean/healthy/FLAVORFUL meal and my server was really sweet as well and chatted a bit:) read more

The food here is always perfect! I came by yesterday and had the Mediterranean Sampler with a seasonal martini and loved everything. I especially love the falafel which is always so flavorful and the tabbouleh which is bright and fresh with lots of tomatoes and onions. My server Lauren also recommended some lemon garlic sauce for my falafel which was great, too. Lauren was super friendly and helpful and made sure I enjoyed everything. It was a lot of food even as an entree, but everything was wonderful! read more

Made a 5:30pm reservation for two. Parking was a bit confusing because the lot where we parked is not part of the restaurant building and signs say you can be towed. However, when we entered the restaurant, the waitress said customers can park in that lot after 5pm. We were seated immediately and the place is really nice inside and out. We were seated indoors at a booth. The waitress, Brittany, was super nice and knowledgeable. We ordered the sesame chicken skewers and the Shish Taouk drizzled with garlic-lemon sauce. The skewers were served with a house salad before the meal, Jasmine rice, and squash & Carrots on the side. The chicken skewers were seasoned well and the rice was very good. My vegetables were not as hot as I prefer, and the sesame chicken sauce had a mustard taste to it. They put too much drizzled on the chicken for my liking. Overall, it was very good. read more

We had an early mother's day lunch at Skewers. The food here is delicious! The steak is tender and flavorful and I wish I could buy the salad dressing to take home. I think our server was a bit overwhelmed but she was very sweet. My only complaint is the high chairs are kinda gross. They look like they don't get cleaned too often. But overall we will be back! read more

Whenever I travel south & I am in this area I will make it a point to come her. I ordered takeout and I got the chicken breast skewers (2) over jasmine rice with grilled green and yellow zucchini and carrots. I especially love that the vegetables are "al dente.". We had a choice of garlic sauce or something else I forget. I took the garlic sauce. It was amazing. I highly recommend this place. I've been here quite a few times over the years and everything on the menu is delicious. I called my order in when I was five minutes away and when I got there, I probably waited three or four minutes. It was more than enough for dinner last night & . I have the other half for tonight.. It also came with a side salad and it looks to be like homemade pita bread. I had the lemon flavored salad dressing and salad and Peter for lunch. Check it this place out. It is amazing.! read more

I made a reservation for 5:00 PM Sunday for 3 people and was seated immediately. That was the highlight of the evening. It took 15 minutes to get a waitress after asking the hostess if one of 6 waitresses hanging around chatting could take care of us. Ours was chatting with people at a corner booth; the place was nearly empty. She took our drink and appetizer order and went back to chatting. After another 10 minutes, the appetizer was almost thrown on the table by a kitchen staff member and quickly took off. 5 more minutes later, we had to ask our waitress to pick up the drink order at the bar. And, again, had to ask the waitress for a refill. She just wasn't there for us.The prices were very high for the main courses with little meat to show for them. But there was a ton of rice. I won't go back. read more

Service was the worst I have experienced in a long time . Two hour lunch was unacceptable. The wrong food was brought out to us after 45 min and then we had to wait another 30 min for our food. Waiter never checked on us since he took our order. My falafel was a crumbled mess of burnt fried crumbs . The mixed fresh squash vegetables were very good and so were the fries . But I would never return . My husband is middle eastern and loved the steak grape leaves . read more

We all had an amazing dinner, drinks and desserts this evening at Skewers! The loaded hummus appetizer is my personal favorite!

We had dinner here and it was delicious! We started with the Mediterranean Sampler. The tabbouleh was fresh and bright, as were the buttery hummus and warm pita.

I had an amazing experience here, especially thanks to Kaila (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly!). I placed a large order for my office and there was a small mix-up, but she was extremely apologetic and handled everything so professionally and kindly that I honestly wasn't even upset. She turned what could've been frustrating into a really positive experience. Also, shoutout to Christian the bartender--he was incredibly apologetic as well and just as kind while everything was getting sorted out. Great customer service all around. I'll definitely be back! read more

Picture this: You walk into a bustling restaurant on a Friday night, aromas of sizzling spices swirling through the air, a belly dancer shimmying with joyful rhythm, and you--ready to embark on a Mediterranean flavor quest like no other. Skewers isn't just a restaurant; it's a portal to a land of garlic-kissed meats, tahini dreams, and pita so fresh you'd swear the chef has magic hands. We started with the Mediterranean Sampler, and let me tell you, it's like a Mediterranean "greatest hits" album! Hummus so smooth it deserves a standing ovation, falafel that could convert even the pickiest eaters, and baba ghanouj so smoky it whispers ancient secrets to your taste buds. Don't even get me started on the marinated olives--they're zesty little flavor grenades. Next came the Lamb Meatballs. Imagine slow-roasted lamb draped in a spicy Moroccan harissa sauce, like royalty wearing velvet. Each bite was tender, spiced to perfection, and wrapped lovingly in soft Greek pita. It's a dish that makes you close your eyes in satisfaction, because you're living your best life right now. And then, the Skewer's Bruschetta. Greek pita piled high with tangy feta, basil, juicy tomatoes, and parmesan--like a Greek pizza's chic, sophisticated cousin. The marinara on the side? Chef's kiss. But wait! Just when we thought our senses couldn't handle any more magic, out comes a dazzling belly dancer--twirling, spinning, and adding an electric vibe to the evening. The entire staff was so friendly and warm that we felt like part of the Skewers family. Hot tip: Make a reservation--this place is poppin' on weekends, and for good reason. Whether you're a lamb lover, a pita enthusiast, or just a seeker of good vibes, Skewers is the spot where food, fun, and flavor fuse together in a Mediterranean masterpiece. Run--don't walk--to Skewers, because life's too short for boring food. read more
