50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Sylvan Lake

“Great family-friendly diner. We started going there a month or so ago, and every time we are in the area, we are going. Sundays are nice. Big football fans, and they always have the games playing. Food is absolutely phenomenal. I go there and I won't leave without my hashbrowns. A place where you know you're gonna leave a tip because you know you're gonna enjoy every second of your time there, and even more every bite. And big shout out to the young lady who normally waits on us. I'll get her name in an update. She's always very nice, quick, gives us our time, but still always makes sure we have what we need without making us feel rushed.“

“Great, fresh food and friendly service in a clean environment“

“The food is very good and fresh. I've not had everything yet, but I'm working on it. I love falafel and usually make it myself. It's good to be able to go somewhere to get it when I don't feel like making it. The only issue I have with the bowls is that the onion cuts are inconsistent. It might seem insignificant, but it really does affect how the whole dish tastes. One bite may have a nice small - medium diced piece of onion and the next night have a huge 4inch piece. That burn of a large piece of raw onion is unpleasant, at least for me. I like onions, but may have to opt to delete them from my bowls and maybe add my own.

The other thing that could use improvement is their pick up window. Each time I've visited, there is a long line of people waiting for their orders. When I approached the pick up counter today, there were about 8 people ahead of me waiting, order was sitting on the counter with approximately 6-7 other completed orders. I felt kinda bad going ahead of everyone else, but I had received a text that my online order was ready. I had ordered from work. Though it looked as if I was cutting in line, I wasn't, and our didn't make sense for me to wait behind the 8 people in front of me who were still waiting and let my food get cold.

I pray that this process is more streamlined soon. I give them grace because they're new and may not have anticipated the demand, but a larger pick up area will help them and their customers.“

“Marvelous overloaded mega Mixed Shawarma Fries 🤤💯 WOWED 😋. Gotta be 2 pounds of meat, both Chicken and Beef Shawarma craved off the spit. On top of crunchy Fries with Garlic Sauce Toum OMG perfection. We shared could only eat half, a good bowl of Lentil Soup. $22 for the large will easily feed 4 hungry folks, making this a mega deal 😅. Got to meet Nick the owner, who lives in the back LOL 😂. Not really he's got a family to get home too. Fast friendly service, great food and low prices. I looked at dozens of reviews around here, this jumped off the page. Great location corner of 12 mile n Telegraph. #mrkabobexpress @mrkabobxpress #shawarmafries #chickenshawarma #beefshawarma #loadedfries“

“I normally frequent the brownstone location. however in my work travels sometimes I stop by the 14 n Woodward location. today I got a bowl and had a few problems. 1 the lid wasn't on all the way so now got food all over my clothes and inside my vehicle. also the pieces of meat were big and not sliced up. How tf is someone supposed to eat that with a plastic fork ? it would of took 30 seconds to slice that up for a bowl, instead it was left whole. normally the food is great, but today was not good.“

“I eat here often as the food is very good. Pro tip- add the sumac seasoning-it’s amazing! Be sure to check sizes though. I usually get a soup and most the time the larger size is filled a little more than half. (But you pay for the “larger” version) I also add on a 2 oz fattoush dressing- which I pay for- and it’s half full most the time.“

“nice clean atmosphere, food is always good and fresh. friendly staff.always pleasant.“

“I recently ate at Anaam’s Palate and WOW — absolutely fantastic! The stuffed grape leaves were tender, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The stew was rich, comforting, and delicious — just the kind of hearty Middle Eastern meal you crave. The flavors were authentic, the portions generous, and everything felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared.

Whether you’re into Mediterranean comfort food or just looking for a great new spot to try, I highly recommend Anaam’s Palate. I’ll DEFINITELY be back!“

The tabouli, whole lentil soup, kofta, mujadara, fattoush salad, and shawarma are some of my favorites. There are a lot of options on their menu. The staff show great hospitality and they also have great platters for large groups eating family style. I highly recommend eating here!“

“Great food great atmosphere .... perfect place for a girls night out🥰“

“I'm on a fixed income, so "fast food" is only an occasional treat for me. I found out about Shawarma Spot through a friend, and it has become my favorite little take-out restaurant. Their portions are quite generous, and you have several options for sauces and toppings. I order the Beef Shawarma, and at $8, I get two delicious meals for the price of one! (Admittedly, as a Senior, I have a small appetite.) Staff is always friendly, and they even put my "sauce on the side", so it still tastes fresh for my leftovers. I've frequently seen work crews there ordering Shawarma's multiple chicken wing deals. Give them a try!“
