    Athenian Salad with gyro meat
    Chassity B.

    This is my all time favorite place around Indy for Greek food. The service has always been great, the owner is very nice, and the food is always good and fresh. I usually opt for the Athenian salad and add gyro meat or do the gyro plate dinner that comes with Greek potatoes and the Greek green beans (soaked in a tomato/onion concoction.... SO good). Start with saganaki also (a flaming cheese) that is served with pita bread. You won't regret it. The inside is spacious with plenty of parking behind the building. The inside is very Mediterranean blue to fit the Greek theme. There's also a patio to enjoy if you'd like to also. Overall I highly recommend!! Delicious.

    Our foodie group came to The Med for some Greek/Mediterranean food one Sunday, and we were very impressed with the restaurant. This Greek/Mediterranean restaurant in the heart of Irvington provided a wonderful ambiance and excellent customer service to our foodie group. Located right next to Jockamo's Pizza, The Med is a wonderful location and has a very nice enclosed outdoor patio. We were very impressed with the food, especially the lemon broth soup we each had with our meal. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the Greek name of the soup, but it was wonderful and would definitely recommend getting this soup with your meal. I ordered the falafel sandwich with fries for lunch, and it was extremely fresh and delicious. The falafel sandwich tasted amazing and had the right amount of spices. The fries were prepared perfectly with the right texture. I did get a tiramisu to go for dessert. The tiramisu tasted incredible and had the perfect texture and flavors. The Med is a great neighborhood Greek/Mediterranean restaurant in Irvington that you can call home and visit on a regular basis. The staff are wonderful and the manager is very friendly and welcoming to the customers. I can see myself coming back to The Med the next time I am in Irvington to enjoy some excellent Greek/Mediterranean food because it is just that good and I feel like I am right at home. A great place to eat and wonderful customer service is what makes The Med very special. Come check it out!

    Pastitsio
    Christina S.

    I can't speak for all the other food but the pastitsio was absolutely horrible..looked like it was made last week and was room temperature when it came to the table as were the two sides it came with. I was one of 4 people in the entire restaurant so I don't really understand why the food was cold. It was also bland and just tasted like plain noodles with chunks of meat, felt like it was missing something. Took one bite and couldn't eat anymore. I didn't complain because I decided it was easier to just pay for the food and leave. ETA: I just read a review from a year ago saying the exact same thing about the pastitsio! Sounds like whoever is in charge doesn't care to change things or "learn from the customers" as they so claim in their response.

    Lemon rice soup

    I had the lasagna meal which came with toast points and everything was very delicious. Service was great and wait time wasn't too long at all.

    Parking lot entrance back of building

    This is a difficult one. The food was excellent! I had the pesto ravioli: house made ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese topped with homemade pesto sauce and fresh tomatoes They offered a complimentary soup and i ĥad Avgolemono: a creamy chicken broth rice with egg and lemon. Both were delicious! The Key lime pie was good, I wasn't a fan of the whip cream on it. They don't take Venmo or cash app but do accept apple pay. The decor was nice. Lots of blues and circles. (Found out they represent some mythology story about Horace and the evilness to ward of evil spirits... ) The pictures on the wall were nice and some are for sale by a local artist Parking may be a challenge. Only a few spots out front and parking in the back however there are serial business in the strip so parking is limited. Lastly, after I ordered my food and reading through the Yelp information I saw the may Healthcare violations, the most recent one being Nov 2024 that was still unresolved?! Many were hand washing violations. That's really sad to have really good food, a decent looking place and poor hygiene.

    1/2 portion of Moussaka to take home
    Sandy L.

    We hadn't been on for a while, better than ever! The Avgolemono soup was perfect in texture and taste. The moussaka stayed together, the flavors were excellent and blended well. I need to try other dishes but it's so good! Didn't think to get a picture until I packed up the leftovers.

    Saganaki and  Cold Spread Sampler
    Sophia S.

    We came here on a weekend night, we made reservations but it wasn't too busy so I don't think we would need to in the future. The decor was cute and the service was friendly but a little on the slow side which was fine. We ordered smaller items on the menu to try a few things and everything we had was delicious and the portions were big enough that we had leftovers. I'd like to go back and try more of the mains but definitely worth a visit especially if you're in the area.

    Eggplant Roll
    Lynn N.

    The appetizers are great here. The Saganaki and cold dip trio (Tzatziki, Hummus, Spicy Feta) were our favorites. The pita bread was served warm and were a great pairing with the apps. The eggplant roll with a side of Greek potatoes was the perfect pairing for an entree-like dinner. The tiramisu had a good coffee flavor and it was a generous slice, but had a very strong liquor flavor. The interior space is nice. The have an outdoor patio too with fans and shades for a cooler environment. It was a nice option for a summer evening. The employees were friendly and attentive.

    Gyro with seasoned french fries
    Wayne H.

    From the time we were seated until we opened the door to leave, this place was amazing! Definitely a Mediterranean feel. The service was polished, professional and friendly. The food was hot and appetizing. We stumbled upon this place by accident, but I'm glad we did. We've been looking for a Mediterranean restaurant since ours closed after Covid. Keep up the excellent work guys. Will be back!

    Athenian Salad
    Stu F.

    This review is for the food as a to-go order. I took back to my hotel a Village Salad and Athenian Salad. The vegetables were fresh and full of flavor. The village had a nice slab of feta that was very good and fresh. The Klamata olives had no pits which was a nice bonus but were also fresh and full of flavor. This Village was balanced and the olive oil dressing was also very good. A 10 in my books! The Athenian Salad didn't have a slab but nice chunks of feta with fresh ingredients and the same excellent dressing. Also a 10! They served some sliced pita which was warm and soft. It went well with the salads I've bookmarked and will return to explore their other offerings.

The entire place is covered with the evil eye charms, so you should definitely be safe here. I highly recommend reservations because they sure get busy. And while the ambiance is great, you really cannot linger for long, as there are usually folks waiting to get a seat. The menu is quite extensive and offers plenty for carnivores and vegetarians alike. I opted for the Iskender, which is crisp pita bread pieces topped with meat slices, all of it doused in a savory tomato based sauce and topped with dollops of yoghurt. The bread has little crisp edges and together with the meat and toppings gives you like a mini sandwich in your mouth. Simply delicious. The Turkish spices bring a wonderful flavor to the dish. I highly recommend it. Hat to admit it, but I have not been too impressed with the tzaziki on previous visits. It was somewhat runny and bland, but I haven't had in a while. Street parking is limited, but in the summer there is a gravel lot on the side of the neighboring building. However when it snows, parking can be a bit of a problem, so be aware.

Requesting something other than pizza and burgers is a big deal! I ordered the beef shawarma and the chicken shawarma, just so we could try both. Both looked like a burrito, which is familiar to my kids, so they went with it. We liked the beef, but the chicken shawarma was mind-blowing, and we will definitely be ordering this again. You can get the shawarma by itself or as a meal, which means it comes with fries. I also got the gyro, which comes with sliced beef and lamb, yellow rice, hummus, salad, tzatziki and pita. Because we got our food to go, the pita came separate from everything else, and I had to assemble my gyro myself like a little taco. It was delicious, but so much food! Honestly, the gyro plate can feed two people easily. Because I can't pass up a baba ganoush, I ordered a small one. They have some excellent baba ganoush at Sahara! I think this might even be my baba ganoush go-to now. Ordering online is very easy, and my food was ready to be picked up even before it was supposed to be. The only thing is that Sahara is located on the Broad Ripple strip, so parking can be iffy. I didn't find any parking in front of the restaurant, so I had to circle the block a bit before I found a spot.
