    Lamb and steak Gyros Wrap

    Walked in wanting something that wasn't a chain left with full bellies full of flavor. So fresh and delicious. I've seen this place for years so glad we stopped by. Visit.

    This is a no frill restaurant if you love Mediterranean food. We love their chicken shawarma! Service was place and place is clean.

    Hummus from scratch with a very ample sized combo

    If I could give six stars I would... My friend took me to his longtime favorite Mediterranean restaurant and believe me it was delicious!! I have the combination wrap, lamb, and chicken with their made from scratch, hummus... Scrumptious! I can only rave about this place... Go for it. You will not be disappointed nor will you leave hungry.!!

    Lamb salad
    DeeDee H.

    My husband and I know we can come to eat a delicious meal and will never be disappointed. I ordered the lamb salad which is amazingly delicious and my husband got the gyro. We've been coming for years. Truly worth trying if you haven't. And if you have you know what I'm talking about! Friendly staff. Keep up the great work

    Gyro wrap with green(not sure but not the Greek) salad

    Overall, many times really good, sometimes not good. Last times, I went it was really good, but the time before wasn't that great, but really good customer service over the years. I feel like they were tired of working there, but I don't blame them. Old school ambiance and not super clean looking, but does the job. Parking can be rough.

    This spot is in Park n Shop and really stands out to me for their food and service. It's a mom and pop restaurant which has great food, prices and wonderful service. You order at the counter and the turn around is very fast. The produce is fresh and my lamb was very flavorful. The owner/chef is very friendly. I had the spicy lamb wrap which was HUGE and had the freshest of ingredients. The sauce has the perfect amount of spice for me. A must try if you are in the mood for some healthy Mediterranean food!

    Really good Mediterranean food in a causal and cozy cafe located in a strip mall. Went here to celebrate a coworkers birthday and throughly enjoyed my meal. We were a group of 7 and they let us order our food and pay for our food individually after. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Their food is fresh and delicious with decent size portions. The locals know this is a gem of a restaurant and lots of ppl were grabbing lunch while we were there.

    Shawarma Wrap
    Austin W.

    My friends and I stopped by Concord for the Creative Concord arts festival and we dined at The Mediterranean for a late lunch. Ordering is done at the counter, but you pay for your food after you finish your meal and you bus your own table. I ordered a lamb shawarma wrap while my wife ordered the combo shawarma platter, which came with two sides and some pita. We ended up getting the baba ghanoush and side salad as our two sides. For the shawarma, the lamb tasted like a braised lamb rather the the type of lamb you typically get off a street cart that's sliced off a rotisserie. The lamb was not a juicy as I would've liked it to be, but you certainly get a lot of it in the wrap if you're looking to fill up on a lot of protein. The chicken from the combo platter was also a bit on the dry side. The pita included on the side was pretty unremarkable: I've definitely had fluffier, fresher pitas elsewhere. Overall, I like to support small businesses over large chains whenever there is an opportunity. However, despite the friendly folks working behind the counter, the food was unfortunately not special enough for me to seek it out a second time.

    Plenty of eye candy to look at while dining.

    12 June 2024 We watched Mark Weins on YouTube last night eating lamb in Turkey (Turkey the country ha ha). I Want Lamb Now ! We walked towards this -new to us- lamb serving restaurant with apprehension. We are afraid to take a chance on having a poor experience. My wife agrees with me. "If it looks sketchy, we will turn around and eat at Kevin's Vietnamese place. We know that Kevin's is good." We enter and are the only customers. A bad omen? The chef, while washing his hands, greets us very warmly. The place looks clean and quiet and there is a nice breeze floating around. I ask for a recommendation and the chef suggests several options. I choose the lamb salad and my wife the falafel wrap. We choose a table with a modest comfortable cushion and the chef begins his whirling dervish act. He is preparing the dishes with graceful movements and clanging sounds. I then notice that I am in an establishment with signs on the restroom door. "For customers only". Not only that but the dreaded "OUT OF ORDER!" sign is yelling at me. Another really bad omen? I'm thinking, "How can I enjoy my meal with my bowels shaking in fear?" The food arrives promptly. We both enjoy the meal as several other guests arrive ordering food to go. The dervish does his magic and no customer is left wanting or waiting for long. We order baklava and it has a very satisfying but not too sweet delicious sweetness. My stomach begins to rumble. I knew this would happen and I'm embarrassed to challenge the "You're out of luck Bub" sigh on the restroom door with the second employee. "Is this out of service?" I point at the restroom and beg with a worried face. "It is in service now" She says, granting me clemency. If you here for nothing else, order something and use the restroom. It is like Finding Elmo and The Incredible Mr. Limpet combined. A visual virtual masterpiece. I suggest not using it under the influence though.

    Chicken kabob plate with hummus & Greek salad
    Tara L.

    Updating to say, they're still the best! Came for my norm- the chicken kabob plate with Greek salad topped with feta, a side of their creamy hummus with a dolma & the most amazing & flavorful falafel (& tzatziki) you've ever had! We love the owners & eat here at least 3 times a month! We also usually have some turkish coffee with a piece of baklava while we wait for our food, always such a nice treat!

    Pita
    Ken P.

    It's Mediterranean food in a plaza. I was greeted with a smile when I walked in. The staff are nice. The ambience for lunch was quiet. I walked in really craving that Mediterranean flavor, the garlics, lemons, olive oil. Sweet, acidic, savory. Sometimes creamy! So I ordered a chicken platter combo, it comes with the protein, 2 sides, 1 pita, 1 dolma, and rice. Pros: service was fast, staff friendly, ready to serve side dishes. Portion was good. The DOLMA (it is bursting with flavor, you have to try it). The chicken was cooked well. Cons: In my opinion, flavors of the food were flat. The tabbouleh was lack-luster, it contained the quinoa, tomatoes and cucumbers, but I was missing the flavors of lemons, even herbs like mint/parsley. The bakdonsieh was the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, drowning in this cream sauce, but that's all I could taste was cream. No acidity, no fresh herbs to brighten the salad. The babaganoush was bland. Not enough garlic, lemon, or the expected nuttiness from tahini. To conclude, I was still craving Mediterranean food, but now I am full and left disappointed. The dolma was the star for me. I hope they use this review as a way to change the trajectory of their business because they do seem like lovely people, but it's difficult to support a small local business if what you are selling is not great. Thank you for the food.

    Beef Salad.  I ate about 1/4 of it before this pic.. :)
    Courtney C.

    Absolutely delicious to-go salad. Good portion size, delectable meat (so juicy, perfect texture, robust flavor), veggies are crisp and fresh. Generous amount of meat in this salad -- it is a 1:1 meat to salad ratio. My only feedback/recommendation is that they offer tzatziki sauce with the plate (the one pictured was requested and is a meager ration!) and a small offering of hummus/pita bread on the side for this ~$14 salad.

    This is one of my favorite gyro spots in the area. Their gyros and shawarmas are delicious and the employees are always friendly. I usually get the lamb wrap but their falafel wrap is also a favorite. The Turkish coffee and dolmas are amazing as well! It's a wonder little hole in the wall Mediterranean spot, it even has a nice mural on the wall of Greece country side if you dine in.

Parking is plenty on the street or in their little lot if early/off hours. If it's on a busy time or with events going on at Todos Santos Plaza, then it can be tricky to find parking. I got the Chicken Platter ($18.99) It came with rice, chicken, salad, humus, 4 triangle pita bread and extra tzatziki sauce on the side. The first thing I noticed right away was that they love their sumac here. I don't mind it at all and the more sumac the better I think. The rice is really fluffy and pairs really well with the chicken. With the tzatziki sauce drizzled on top and extra to add on each bite, it's a great combo wombo of flavor. The hummus is really good too! It is not watery like some places and holds its shape well. Went great with the rice/chicken, with pita or even by itself! Salad was just mix of greens, tomatos, cucmbers with some cheese crumble. No olive oil or vinegar was added so I had to spread some tzatziki to give it a little boost. Overall the dish was really delicious. I would recommend to come here if you like Mediterranian food. Interested in their falafal and would likely get that next time. Water is free here and the utensils are plastic for those that are picky.

    Absolutely a hidden gem in Concord!…read more If you're looking for amazing Pakistani, Indian, and Afghan food, Chopan Kabob needs to be on your list. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and they made us feel right at home. I ordered the 3-meat combo with the beef tikka, chicken kabob, and beef chapli, and every bite was flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The beef chapli was especially outstanding! My wife ordered the chicken tikka masala, and it was rich, creamy, and packed with authentic flavor. We also ordered the bolani the eggplant dish, and it was fantastic. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and you can tell they put a lot of care into the food. Great prices, outstanding hospitality, and some of the best kabobs we've had in the area. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving this place a try!

What is the point of an appetizer if it's not served before the main dishes? We were very disappointed. Taste wise, bolani was very thin and bland. Barely any potatoes or stuffing. The bread was very thin too. Kunduz Kabab's bolani is top tier, we should've just had dinner there. The Chapli kabob and Karahi chicken were also disappointing, I think the quality has changed perhaps with new management. We also noticed the waitress kept gloves on, the same gloves she would handle payments with, she used to hand us our plates and cutlery. That is very unhygienic and quite frankly appalling. You're spreading germs onto customers' plates. Will not be returning.

    I'm not an authority on Afghan food so this is rated as an outsider…read more Overall the food can be summarized as: lightly seasoned, enjoy the simple flavors of each component, and Must use the sauces to complete the dish. I personally think everything needed some salt, but maybe it's meant to be this way. Highlight is most definitely the green sauce (yogurt and chili, not spicy), baklava (sweet sticky on the bottom and flaky crisp on top, not overly sweet), yogurt mint drink (dough). Shami beef and chicken kebab were juicy and not dry. Through a bit of miscommunication.. I was given the yogurt drink instead of the normal side of yogurt cucumber sauce for the meat, and was warned by Ali that some people don't like it since it's a yogurt drink with salt, but honestly it was great and was essentially a yogurt mint sauce I expect from other Mediterranean/Middle Eastern type places but more watery. So admittedly I just took sips of this while taking bites of the kebab and rice and it was pretty much the flavors I was looking for, but an extra step. Beef Mantu was another source of confusion since there are regular and homemade versions (I didn't realize). They made me the homemade version without confirming with me on the phone; no problem. It was filled with lightly seasoned beef and topped with interesting spices. Overall not bad not great, definitely needs sauce / salt. Too light in my opinion. And for $25 I wouldn't get again not worth it. The customer service from Ali was great. Knowing this was my first time he explained everything, offered to charge me less due to the miscommunications (I declined), and gave complimentary side of sauce and baklava as a nice gesture. Good food. I know how to order next time. Extra green sauce or yogurt drink all over.

Our server brought us cold water and menus to look at. While we were looking at the menu, we were brought warm bread and butter.

My husband loved his Moroccan beef. I tried it and it was delicious and had so much flavor. My pasta wasn't the best, but just okay. The sauce was very bland, and I had to add a lot of salt to make it taste more flavorful. The pasta was overcooked and not al dente. The worst part was the shrimp. The shrimp were overly cooked and hard to chew. The mussels and clams were very good, though. I would have mentioned this to our waiter but I didn't want to be late to our concert. We didn't heave a lot of time to waste so I ate about half of my dish and made sure to eat all the mussels and clams. If we had more time, I would have asked if I could try something else and I'm sure they would have accommodated me. The staff were very friendly and kind. I would definitely come back and try one of their Moroccan dishes. When I read the review for this restaurant, prior to coming, many people commented on how good the Moroccan dishes were. I can see why, because my husband Moroccan beef Tagine was so flavorful. If we are ever in the area again, we will give Fiore another try.
