The experience at Halva Mediterranean Grill was just okay. I tried the Triple Mix Grill, Haydari, Hummus, and Gaziantep Beyran Soup. While the food was fresh, it lacked any standout flavors. The bread was very basic, and the grilled vegetables and meat didn’t have much seasoning or anything special to elevate them.
The service was friendly, but it felt rushed due to how busy the restaurant was. The atmosphere was neutral—cleanliness could use some improvement, but it wasn’t off-putting. Prices were reasonable for the portions, but the overall experience didn’t feel entirely worth it.
The website markets the restaurant as Turkish, but the food felt more like an average Middle Eastern diner. While nothing was terrible, it didn’t leave a lasting impression, and I wouldn’t return. It’s fine for a quick meal, but don’t expect anything extraordinary.

1st time ordering. Not a good 1st impression. It seems that the service quality has declined everywhere these days. No one seems to care whether or not you get what you paid for. If you advertise a dish to a customer and you substitute items in it without their knowledge, it is called a scam.

The food is incredible! I would give them 6 stars if I could!
After driving past this restaurant a gazillion times, I said, " You know we have to try that restaurant out" and finally we did and at a very busy time around seven . They didn't have any tables available as this restaurant is small and came at peak hour but we managed to get a couple seats at the bar. We had the best baba ghanoush, the lamb, Adana, and chicken kebab..,it was delicious!!!!!! the salad was delicious too! And the pistachio Halva dessert was divine with goat ice cream! The main thing is our meal was fresh! They were also a lot of takeout orders so I think this restaurant is a no-brainer for me. If I need to entertain people, I will probably order a bunch of kebabs from them and know the quality would be fabulous because it's small. It was a little hectic when I was there since food was being passed along the table with an empty stool next to me at the bar. But I get it. It's busy! I would like to come in when it's a little quieter maybe around five I have a more calming dining experience!
Casual atmosphere, good service, and good food.
