Mediterranean Grill & Cafe

A very good spot for lunch. All the food was tasty and well seasoned. The fatoush salad was very strongly vinegared but was balanced nicely with the rich rice. Not open for dinner. Service was good and efficient.

The best Mediterranean food you’ll find in Fresno. And they are also very fast. Takes not more than 15 min to get my order if I call it in. Also the cleanest place!

I’ve been to this place many many time. I absolutely love their Lebanese chicken and rice! It’s such a great combination because they serve it with my fav fattoush salad. The spices are on point for me. I always ask for the garlic on the side because they can over do it sometimes. But it is a very busy place so their customer svc is definitely effected.
If you want to dine in, you should get there right at 11am otherwise you may not get a seat because it gets slammed pretty quickly. Parking is a nightmare in the front also. So most customers park at the Office Depot parking lot or down the street.
If you are picking up an order, you may go around to the back and not have to fight the front parking lot. ;)
Overall, I would go back since I haven’t found another place that has their flavor on point like this one.

Awesome service, great tasting, fresh food! I like the fatoush salad with chicken kebab. You will not be disappointed!

Wonderful service and delicious, generous portions for a good price. This place gets absolutely packed for lunch as that is their thing so get there early if you can for parking and a table, but even if you get there at peak time, the service staff is so great about moving quickly and getting tables ready to go.

Delicious, all the sauces they have! Simple, fresh and mouth watering.

They’re also so packed during lunch so I always try to get in their doors around 2 pm. The lebanese chicken is a favorite amongst my friends but I prefer the pepper steak stir-​fry. The pocketbread and hummus are my absolute favorite and sometimes I come just to order just that.

I keep forgetting about this place… Maybe because it’s downtown, and I’m not there that often. Anyway, it’s now in my top three list of lunch places. Really, really good food. I had the shish kebab, which was excellent. It gets super crowded at lunchtime, but that’s to be expected downtown. Parking can be a challenge. Noon is definitely not the best time to go. But do check it out! I think you’ll be happy.

Great food and awesome service. Long line to get in, best to show up early.

I went here for lunch yesterday, they actually stop seating at 2:30. We arrived at 2:27 without the knowledge of the fact it was so close to the cut off time. What I love is that they seated us! They were so kind. The food was absolutely incredible. I was blown away. One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in California. I believe it was the manager that stopped by to check on us, she was very kind and respectful. I would definitely recommend this joint to anyone. Incredible food for a very fair price. Great service and you know that you get your money’s worth :)

Absolutely love the Lebanese chicken plate! But that garlic sauce tho!!! It’s delicious. The fattoush salad is also good & refreshing. Sadly it only opens a few hours out of the day but totally worth the rush hour. Total with tax this plate comes out to $ 11.96

This place is truly one-​of-​a-​kind. Family owned business for a long time. The food is very authentic Mediterranean Lebanese cuisine. everything is so fresh and delicious. Not to mention the owners are the best people in town. Every single item on the menu is good. The kebab the lentil soup even their french fries are amazing. Let’s not forget the falafel which are made from scratch! Love this place!

This place has all you could want in a restaurant. Fantastic & speedy service, great food, low price.

Awesome lunch spot. When I walked in the place was packed to the brim. I got the kabob combo, cooked very well. veggies I loved as well. try the garlic sauce!

My favorite is the Lebanese chicken and rice with fattoush salad. The staff is phenomenal here!

My favorite Mediterranean food in town! I almost always get the vegetarian plate. It’s a good mix of food with salads, noodles, falafel, hummus, stuffed grape leaves to name a few. It’s also a great way to have a little bit of everything if you can’t decide. The food is always made fresh, delicious, and I’ve never had a bad experience here. Their Lebanese Chicken is their most popular dish and with good reason! It’s very flavorful and comes topped with this amazing garlic sauce!
It’s too bad they’re only open during lunch to feed the busy lunch crowd, but they’re always crowded. So if you don’t want to wait a while to be seated, get there early. Also make sure your whole party is present when trying to get seated, because they like to keep a fast customer turn around. Speaking of which, the staff is friendly and provides quick service.
Parking can also be a pain because the lot is small and street parking fills quickly. So be prepared to look for parking.

The only reason you’ll ever need to come to Fresno.
I’m dead serious.
Lebanese Chicken Plate. Extra garlic sauce. Fatoosh Salad. i.e. #thetruth

Today i took my uncle to lunch at the Mediterranean Grill and had the worst experience. My 70 year old uncle made a joke to the waitress saying he he would like to order a piece of the «ewe» for lunch. They didn’t understand the joke as he was ordering lamb. The owner made a big scene in the restaurant. We were told to get the hell out of her restaurant and that she didn’t care who we know and didn’t want our money. She continued to scream at us threatening to call the police if we didn’t leave.
I very calmly went up and explained that there was no malice intent by my uncles joke. I continued to explain that her approach was very unprofessional and a potential turn off not only to me but possibly the other patrons in the establishment. She asked why i associate with him and i explained he is my uncle. A different approach could have probably avoided this
embarrassment.
Its sad to experience this as the establishment had such a family owned feel to it. There are many other great places to eat Mediterranean food in fresno. I hope this is a turn off to other potential customers if this is how you could be treated.

This pace is amazing! For sure my new favorite place to dine in Fresno. Super fast and friendly. I do have to throw out there that we went at 1:30 thereby avoiding the lunch rush that other reviewers had complained about. No complains whatsoever here!
Ordered 2 domas and the humus plate for appetizers. Absolutely delicious! Could have ordered 10 domas and called it my lunch and I would have been a very happy camper. The humus was fresh, tasty and delicious. The appetizers arrived within minutes 1 – 3 or ordering them.
My main dish, the Lebanese chicken with garlic sauce on top arrived soon after ordering and I was very impressed. I ordered it with the fattoush which was absolutely amazing! The chicken was fresh, juicy and extremely flavorful. The rice complemented everything superbly and was tasty. No doubt I will be having this plate again in the near future.
Quick, friendly service and amazing food. 5+ stars all the way!!!

Really enjoyed my lunch on Friday while heading up to Yosemite from L.A.
By reviews alone on Unilocal I knew this place was going to be good. In fact it was great.
Ordered the combination plate that came with chicken, lamb & beef. Rice and hummus accompanied my meat as well.
Place was packed, staff was polite and accommodating as well.
Small lot parking but plenty of street parking.
