I frequent med Bistro often in their food is very very good. Recently in the last two months they've started to nickel and dime customers with various methods. They've updated their menu which is fine leaving the same items but charging extra for almost every single item. I asked for a simple side of rice and they charged me almost $7. They're now adding 20% gratuity fees for pickup orders they're adding service charge fees for credit cards and they're removing items such as vegetables off grilled vegetables off salads. Also when I looked at the prices on my receipt it seemed higher than it was on the menu and I didn't have the heart to call it out because I'm just not going to make a big deal of it. I'm a frequent customer and I'm really disappointed in med Bistro with all the ways they're charging customers now for extra money here and there. It's starting to become a little bit too expensive also.

Waitress was very rude and combative with me the whole time I was there. They tried to charge me for drinks I did not order, and then got upset with me when I pointed out the truth and said that other customers were upset because I put it at the truth. It's obvious the other customers were upset because they were also being mistreated as well. You can look at other reviews and see the same story

Absolutely fantastic food. Highly recommend the Ghormeh Sabzi, Baba Ganoush, and Chicken Kabobs. The service was slow, but the waitresses were lovely and extremely nice. I will say, the service seemed slow mostly because there was only two people on staff, so I'm not upset about it.

I love everything about this place, great food, great services!
food is great but they start kiciking you out about a half hour before they close. we go there a few times per year to celebrate birthdays and while i love the food, they are anything but we always feel unwanted when its close to closing time. even the cooks will come out and stare at you- even when they're open for another 20 minutes.

Got two chicken kebab take out this Friday. There were no mushrooms after I specifically asked if it were part of the kebab so was very disappointed. I also didn’t realize there was only a quarter of a pita served with lunch. I’ve only had this at work when reps bring this in, I guess catered to us When I went inside. It was very cute and quaint $34 for lunch. Could’ve been more impressed elsewhere I guess.

Mediterranean Bistro is one of my go-to spots when I’m craving incredible Mediterranean food. I’ve been here a few times, and every visit reminds me why it’s one of my favorites — the food is simply amazing. Every dish bursts with authentic flavors that keep me coming back for more.
I will say, the service can be hit or miss. They often get so busy that warmth and attentiveness sometimes fall through the cracks. It doesn’t ruin the experience entirely, but if I were going for the service alone, I might think twice.
Luckily, the food more than makes up for it. If you’re a fan of Mediterranean flavors, this place is worth it — just come hungry and maybe pack a little extra patience. Highly recommend the food!

I was the last customer seated during lunch service. The restaurant had only four tables occupied, with approximately 10–15 empty tables. Despite the availability, the waitress seated me between two tables where guests were speaking loudly. When I politely asked to be moved to a quieter spot, she responded, “Sweetheart, you’re by yourself—I’m not going to seat you at a table meant for three or four people.”
This response was dismissive and unnecessarily condescending, especially given the number of available tables. It’s disappointing to be treated as less deserving of comfort simply because I was dining alone. Hospitality should be about making every guest feel welcome—regardless of party size. I have eaten in tens of Persian restaurants all over the country, their food would be ranked below average to average level.

Amazing food in a cozy atmosphere. Don't miss this. Try the habenaro sauce on the humus for starter. Then beef or shrimp shishkabab.
Best chicken kabobs ever. Love that spicy sauce
