37 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Fresno

“Yafa Grill exceeded my expectations! The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The chicken kabobs were tender and seasoned just right, the rice was delicious, and the hummus and pita were some of the best I've had. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service from start to finish. The restaurant was clean, and the portions were generous for the price. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean halal food, I highly recommend Yafa Grill. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Tried Aleppo based on the previous reviews and I'm glad that I did. Let me first comment on the service, the young lady who helped me tonight was so friendly and talked me through some of her favorites and what to consider. Next, the beef shish kabob plate was so fresh and I absolutely loved the rice. Also, got the flavorful falafel which had the right amount of crunch. I got my food to go so I couldn't comment on the atmosphere. Will come back again for sure.“

“Amazing Afghan restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out nicely prepared. I really enjoyed the Afghan food and the atmosphere. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone who wants to try authentic Afghan cuisine! 🇦🇫❤“

“The food and service is spot“

“Friendly staff. Quick service. Food came out hot, fresh and generous portion.“

“So this was my first time coming in, and I won’t lie—I was a little leery at first… but then again, I can be a little dramatic sometimes. 😂 The second I walked in, though, I was pleasantly surprised. The place was clean the atmosphere was welcoming and the young lady behind the counter was an absolute sweetheart. I also love supporting family-run businesses, and you can really feel the care they put into their restaurant.

Now let’s talk about the food… it was delicious! As a Chicana, I may not be Mediterranean but I’ve had enough Mediterranean food to know when it’s authentic—and this definitely hit the mark. Everything was fresh, flavorful and left me wanting to come back for more.

If you’re a fan of Mediterranean food like I am, do yourself a favor and check this place out. It’s a great eatery and I highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed!“

“The food is awesome taste great ..“

“Tucked away in an office complex lays this eatery. A little hard to find but worth the effort. Casual environment with patio seating available. The service I received was good but the food is excellent👌. Ordered the beef bowl... great flavor. I'll be back for more of their tempting offerings such as lulu, lamb and gyros. Bon appetit!“

“We tried this place at river park on Mardi Gras. The staff was friendly and helpful, truck was clean and our food looked just as it does in the pictures. We got the chicken plate and loved it so we went back for the beef plate. They come with rice, hummus, salad and some vegetables. The sauces that were drizzled over the meat were delicious as well. I have to say this was the best tasting middle eastern food I’ve ever had at a Freano business. Can’t wait to try the quesadilla and fries.“

“good flavor. Fast service“

“Great food, exceptional service. Mediterranean Grill never disappoinrs“

“Walking in first impression was, wow they are so welcoming. It is so refreshing to finally walk into a restraunt that actually have staff that was inviting and not in a overly powerful way (this is coming from an introvert).

Don't be fooled by the look of the food. It is humble looking but definitely delicious. I sat there thinking, I know this kind of taste. It is not generic like so many other japanese restraunts in America. It was a pleasent and nostalgic taste that took me back to Japan where I walked into an establishment that has been there for years serving their community with their wonderfully made food. In other words, if you are looking for an experience like Goro Inogashira in the tv series: Solitary Gourmet, this is the perfect place. Taste like I'm back in Japan.

The high rating on google for a small establishment is usually a hit or miss but NOT for this restraunt. A 4.7☆ with over 300+ reviews hits the mark on this. I will surely be back for more. The yakisoba is a must!

Thank you for the welcoming service and food.“

“Just passed by Fresno, tried to look up for a restaurant that served Arabian food, golden grill pops up, into the screen, didn’t expect that the food is delicious, kobeh, hummus, and chicken shawarma is what I ordered, it’s super yummy 😋 and makes you energy full, I do recommend this place for people who travels from LA to SF, the team are friendly with their smiley faces ♥️🌹“

“I went for a quick lunch with a friend . I was impressed on the quality of service by Amir himself . I liked the decor and overall cleanliness. What was to be quick turned into an array of great food filling our large table, . non stop refills and cozy atmosphere for my friend and I . As we sat down humus and garlic sauce with warm peta bread came to the table immediately and never let up . Warm and inviting but casual and fun was my experience . The food was generous , made quickly and to my individual taste . I recommend the shish kebab with grilled vegetables, salad and rice pilaf . . My friend and I requested boxes for home and Amir filled them with extra warm rice . The outdoor patio area is a plus .Definitely will come again .“

“The food is excellent and the service is excellent! Highly recommend.“

“We have been ordering with Apple Spice since last year, and all has been great, especially for last-minute team meetings. A staff member stated, "HOMERUN with the lunch order today!!! I had not heard of Apple Spice Catering before. Seriously some of the freshest, most flavorful food I've had in a while." Thank you!!“

“I visited the recently opened Zaatar downtown location. If you have visited their first location in Champlain Dr, you know how great the quality and the service are. This location is no different. Albeit more on the casual side of things. I ordered the beef shawarma wrap and it took me no more than 5 minutes to devour it. The ingredients were so fresh, texture and flavor were all great too. It’s like eating your favorite burger but much healthier.
They are still in their soft opening phase so things going to develop even more. I really appreciated how the owners are right there side by side with all the employees working with them and training them. They were all so welcoming an open to feedback. This is a true testament to quality

If you are in downtown Fresno. Don’t hesitate to check them out at the galleria civic center plaza“

“Real, authentic, and tasty Yemeni and Lebanese food. From the Yemeni soup (lamb soup) to the cheese rolls to the falafel sandwich and the gigantic serving of pita bread, it was an excellent experience. The staff was hospitable and welcoming. Highly recommend.“

“Overall pretty good. Portion sizes are ok, a little on the pricier side though.“

“Easily one of my favorite places to get the freshest chicken kebob and shawarma from. The garlic sauce is good and I really enjoy the falafel wraps. Definitly try it out! It is a family friendly place. The food has always been cooked to order when we go. The portions are very worth your money. I usually have food to bring home and snack on later. Also get extra garlic sauce if you like it like how I do!“

“We have always came in and picked up food and it had always been delicious. But recently we had them caterer a birthday party and they did an amazing job. Everyone was very impressed with the food. All over our gusts asked who catered. They loved it and so did we.“

“I love the outdoor patio seating. There is a huge fountain in the center of the patio, large plants all around, and it has a ‘Paris Cafe’ feel. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the food arrives quickly and hot. The food presentation looks like it came from a travel magazine. The food is reasonably priced, for the amount of food that you get. The food is delicious every time. Everything on the menu is delicious! I would highly recommend the Breakfast House. They make the best Belgian waffles in town and they use fresh strawberries, whipped cream and cinnamon sugar dust! The bacon is crispy and savory and the eggs are fluffy and rich. The crepe eggs Florentine were delicious as well! They also have a full bar, so you can enjoy a mimosa with your brunch!“

“The food here is awesome. I will definitely be coming back!!!“

“Came here from a recommendation I found online and I was not disappointed at all! The food was super tasty. The chicken and lamb were flavorful and juicy! The veggies were super fresh and the sauces were sooo good! It’s in the outskirts of Fresno, so it’s easy to miss, but it’s worth visiting! I will def be back! (:“

“They have great food but today I didn’t get my Blue Cheese dressing 🥲. Fish was great 👍“

“The food is awesome and the cooks are great the waiters are awesome and the food is super delicious. More people should try this resturaunt cus it has the best armenian food in the valley!!!“

“Awesome great food“

“Highly recommend SALAM Roast & Broast! Their food is delicious, fresh, and made with love. The seasoning and sauces are amazing! So far best shawarma in town!! Perfect spot for a healthy, quick and tasty meal. 5/5 stars! ⭐️👌🏻“

“Gus Kabob in Downtown Fresno offers authentic, fresh Mediterranean fare in a relaxed counter-service setting. Menu highlights include tender beef and chicken kabob plates, spicy chicken wraps, gyro pitas, and crispy falafel. Generous portions, seasoned rice, homemade garlic sauce, and fast service make it a favorite for lunch.“

“Yummy food and great service. Love it!😋“

“Ate at this location for the first time and was very impressed. I’ve only tried it one other time in another city. I thought that other location was pretty good, but nothing like the Blackstone location. The chicken was fresh, juicy, and abundant. Servings were generous overall and service was great. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Best place to get your Armenian food.“

“Great store for fresh meat and other stuff. Their in-house bakery is good and fresh as well. Lately the restaurant food is loosing the fine taste, wonder they have new chef or what?

Definitely great place in Fresno to pick Armenian and Mediterranean food stuff.“

“We enjoyed our experience! The food was delicious and the service was great! Will definitely go back!!“

“Yummy food and great service. Love it!😋“

“This review is directed to The Broilers on Palmdon & Herndon....Sooooo Disappointed!! Made an order to go and got home and only half of my order was in the bag. I call and let them know I only got half of my order and I was told "I noticed the rest of your order was missing but you left so quick" When your order is called and you get it you leave right?? I was then told "we can either remake it or you can come a different day" I explained I had to come get it as it was my father's food. I explained that I did not live close and how much of an inconvenience it was to drive all the way back to the restaurant and back home. On my way to the restaurant my daughter calls to let me know the extra pita bread I paid for is missing too. Fast forward I get to the restaurant I explained who I am and also shared that the extra pita bread I paid for was not in the bag either, just 2 salads and the dressings. The Mexican lady in the kitchen starts to argue and say they were in there, while I'm explaining they are not. So they throw extra pita bread(which were only 2 pieces, I still did not get the extra pita I bought), sauce, and the rest of my order in a bag and give me a dry "sorry". I will not return to this Broilers at this point they treated me like it was my fault THEY messed up on my order....Not a we apologize for the inconvenience, not even a we will compensate you what WE left out of your bag or how can we make this better.....just a "sorry". I won't be back unfortunately and it's sad because we love this place, however how you treat your customers determines if they will continue to support. 😒“
