From beginning to end, our experience at the restaurant was disappointing. We had to call the servers over just to make an order since the service was so slow. Our meal seemed like a total rip-off when it arrived because the amounts were ridiculously small for the cost. To make things worse, we were expecting a more respectful and quiet dining experience, but the loud music during Ramadan made things uncomfortable. Overall, we wouldn't recommend or return to this place due to the uncomfortable ambiance, expensive food, and poor service.

The food is fresh excellent authentic to the Mediterranean. In addition, the ambience is so nice. It’s very relaxed but very friendly and peaceful! They use white tablecloths so you really get that nice feeling they have a nice variety of dishes from chicken to seafood and it’s absolutely acquaint wonderful place. Don’t miss out on this place. If you’re in town in lutes dinner served!!

Fantastic absolutely delicious I loved everything here and the waitress was fast and kind. We ordered the hummus plate with pita, a chicken shawarma wrap (stuffed full and only $9!) and the 4 piece lamb chop! Great little spot for cheap and authentic Mediterranean cuisine. Way better than the other options around the premiere outlets haha

First time eating at this place. Every dish is delicious! The pita that comes with the hummus is soft and fluffy. The dipping oil with garlic is well seasoned. The hummus is so creamy. The tabouli salad is well balanced with just the right amount of lemon juice. It is a very large portion. The French fries are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. The chicken kabob wrap is packed with filling. The server was really friendly, though for as slow as it was at the time, they could have checked on the table a bit more often. Try not to pay with cash because they don't seem to have small bills. The restroom was not the most ideal, but at least, there was one to use.

Parking: The parking is a premium just because there are so many other businesses in the same location.

Cute and quaint. Fresh flowers in vases on tables made a nice touch.
The ladies working were so sweet and amazing to play with our 18 month old!
The food is amazing as well, my husband and I got a falafel plate appetizer and both had gyro wraps. The meat was tender and moist, veggies were fresh and crisp, and the pita bread was soft and fluffy. The baklava cheesecake shouldn't be overlooked either! It was rich, flavorful, and creamy and definitely would get it again! Overall, some of the yummiest Mediterranean food I've ever had! My only regret is not taking pictures of the beautiful food to add to my review!

The food is consistent but the service is always awful. They pack the place and only have 2 servers acting as hostess, waitresses, bussing, etc. The space has potential but the floors are always super sticky (we've lost a sandal or 2 in our steps), and it's a bit dated. If they just took a couple steps in the right direction and staffed correctly this place could be a 4-5 star.

Beautiful little hole in the wall Mediterranean restaurant. I had the gyro platter. I was surprised when warm pitas and olive oil were served right off the bat. It came with chopped olives, and was surprisingly good.

The main course came with a heaping pile of yellow rice that had a very tasty flavor. I also ordered a greek salad (chopped- I had never tried it that way), and a small order of hummus. I'm glad I did, because there was no other lettuce or tomatoes to roll up with my gyro meat. The meat was over cooked, but it was a slow day and rotisseries just do that, so I will say - it was crispy and had a good taste. The tzatziki sauce was good, but kinda mild for my taste.

The hummus tasted like it was a day or two old...not bad, but not the best. The fried cheese (Nabulsi) was super salty, but had a good flavor. The garlic sauce is usually my wife's favorite part of med food - but this had a chunk of garlic in it that she unwisely ate..... wow....it was intense just watching her!!

I love the look of this place. The plants, the music.... the server dancing when she thought nobody was watching... they did a great job making this place look authentic.
Overall, I gotta say it was just ok food, but next time I will try something different and update.

Tried Garden Mediterranean for date night and we were not disappointed with the recommendation of the Royal Platter. The food was delicious and seasoned well. Service was friendly, sincere and with a smile. The couch seating is a nice touch. This cozy family owned gem was a treat and we will definitely be back!
