Called ahead for a reservation. The guy sounded like a zombie on the phone. Showed up on time. Stood at the door for 3-4 minutes before the same grumpy dude sat us at a table and said it's just him and the owner and that it could be a while for us to get served. 15 minutes later and no bread, no water, no service...so we walked out. Absolute joke.Friends of course went the next night. Exact same situation. They didn't walk out and they were there for almost 2 hours.

While the chef puts a lot of effort into the dishes and talking to the patrons, it is at the sacrifice of the quality of the food and causes the meal to be painfully long. Some of the sauces are overpowering, and rather than enhancing the main ingredient in the dish, it hid its flavor, in the case of the filet we had this was ok because it was charred on the surface. In addition, I'm personally not a fan of raw onions, and they were used through a number of dishes. So be sure to ask if they are in the dish you are ordering if you don't like raw onions as well. The risotto we had was undercooked as well. While they did apologize about everything and give us a free dessert, it felt like this was more of the norm than an exception. I believe at one time this was a great establishment, but now has faded into the faux elegance of an 80's supper club. I feel that there is still a lot of potential here it will take some work for it to regain its glory.

I flew to St Louis for a Retreat from Jax, Florida, then rented a car to meet up with one of my most incredible four brothers, so we could catch up, and enjoy the perfect dining experience. And we found it, from the moment we entered. Our large family owned and worked a restaurant for 14 years, and our evening here...we were royalty, in a beautiful setting, with the Owner/Chef and our remarkable Hostess showing how it's done. This was a special occasion for us- so many things to give and share, we were nuts, and we lingered, okay, dessert, of course! The meal, only fresh, only the best, prepared exquisitely. We were kings for the evening, and there's just not enough room here to elaborate. Except to say- it's one of those events you never forget, and love to share with folks. We're blessed and grateful to have experienced it!

Truly amazing food at very inconspicuous location. Our waitress was so friendly as well! Would love to come back when we are in town again.
The food was incredible and our server was a true gem! We did have a rather long wait for our entrees (perhaps kitchen staffing issues?), but the Red Snapper in a cream cheese crab sauce was amazing! I liked the flavor of potatoes and veggies, but they were a little undercooked for me- although my husband and grandson thought they were fine (I prefer a little more tender). You could literally taste the freshness of the house salad and their in-house blue cheese dressing was perfection! The complimentary bread had the perfect combination of crusty bite and pillowy softness inside. We look forward to returning when we are in Terre Haute again.

Exceptional Dining Experience at Magdy’s Mediterranean CuisineI recently had the pleasure of dining at Magdy's Mediterranean Cuisine, and my experience was nothing short of fantastic. The veal parmigiana was an absolute delight – delicious and perfectly prepared. It's evident that the chef takes great pride in crafting each dish to perfection.The customer service at Magdy's is truly commendable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. What stood out even more was the personal touch – the chef himself took the time to visit our table, demonstrating a level of care and passion for their craft that is rare to find.The atmosphere at Magdy's is delightful, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The attention to detail in the ambiance adds to the overall charm of the restaurant. It's the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy your meal in a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing environment.To top off an already exceptional experience, the baklava was a sweet conclusion that left a lasting impression. This initial visit to Magdy's Mediterranean Cuisine has undoubtedly made a positive impact, and I'm eagerly looking forward to returning. If you're looking for a combination of delicious food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere, Magdy's is the place to be. Highly recommended!
Food and atmosphere was wonderful. Well kept secret in Terre Haute. Server was great, but the only one working.
