Yesterday I came to have Iftar with my 2 boys and daughter. The waiter didn’t accept us to enter cz we didn’t have reservation even though we called a day before to ask and no one informed us we need one. I told him we were fasting so can we please order take out but he declined.
Unfriendly and unwelcoming especially in the holy month of Ramadan. Where You are blessed to break people’s fast.

The taste of shawarma was very average, nothing special. They were kind, and they provided us free baklavas but it was not delicious.

This place has changed names, head chef, and service. It is now a counter service only. I had the Shawarma chicken. It comes with a salad, garlic sauce, and something similar to slices of BBQ chicken on top of rice. It was decent but not the quality as previous. Service is not as warm.

To be honest, I was expecting flavorful food. The falafel and the hummus were kind of tasteless and also the quantity of food could be better. Service was great and everything was clean.

First time here and the food was absolutely amazing. We tried a new dish,Molokhia, and it was remarkably delicious. Every single bite we took exploded with wonderful flavors. I would recommend this dish and location if you’re in search for Mediterranean food! The salad dressing from the Fattouch was off the hook.

If you're seeking exceptional Mediterranean cuisine, look no further than Garden Mediterranean Grill. My family and I, who have lived in this area for over ten years, have long been on the hunt for a stellar Arab food restaurant, and we are thrilled to have finally found it here.

From the moment we stepped into Garden Mediterranean Grill, we were impressed by the inviting atmosphere and warm hospitality. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made us feel right at home.

As for the food, it was nothing short of outstanding, with a comforting home-style taste. Each dish was a flavorful delight, showcasing the rich and diverse tastes of Mediterranean cuisine. All the appetizers were exceptional as well.

Garden Mediterranean Grill has truly set a new standard for Arab food in our area. It’s now our go-to spot for exceptional Mediterranean dining, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience delicious and authentic flavors.

Incredible food and such lovely people! We had the hummus, baba ghanoush, vine leaves and the combo kebab plate to share between the two of us and it was so so delicious. I tend to avoid chicken at restaurants because it’s often dry and I hate the disappointment, so I expected it to be my least favorite of the three kebabs but it was incredible. So juicy. Will definitely be back and would 100% recommend it.

The food we ordered was average, except for the Baklava, which was the standout dish. The hummus was excellent, but the pita bread did not meet our expectations. The combination of Baba Ganoush and kofta balls was overall good. The place has a nice ambiance, and the service was excellent. The price per person is around $20 to $30. For that price, I would give an overall rating of 4 stars. Overall, the experience was satisfactory.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian food option are limited but the available option are good ??

Was reluctant to eat here due to not being too familiar with Mediterranean food. I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is clean and classy. The presentation of food is beautiful and everything was delicious and authentic. Highly recommend for a nice change and a new food experience.

Waitress was probably new to her job because she omitted to place lots of stuff (napkins, dessert plates, fork) on our table. We had to ask for them.
