Goodies Mediterranean Grill & Cuisine

WONDERFUL FOOD. Reasonably priced. Excellent quality and service. Staff are always pleasant. Why spend 15-20 on fast foods, when you can get a real meal deal at GOODIES ?!?

This is my favorite Mediterranean place in Syracuse. The owner is so lovely, so I’m always happy to support him. My favorites are the homemade hummus, chicken gyro, salad with seasoned feta and pistachio baklava.

So good- I'll have to take a picture of the food and leave another review. It's listed as number 4 for vegan food in Syracuse, and the reviews are right. I got the vegetarian platter subbing tahini for tzaziki, my bf got a beef kebab (he's not vegan). We loved our food, best falafel ever! Definitely will be back.

Hidden Gem with Great Chicken, Friendly Service, and Delicious Desserts

I was looking for some local Mediterranean food and decided on Goodies Mediterranean. At first, I had second thoughts—the parking lot was empty, and the exterior didn’t look too inviting. But I’m glad I stuck with my decision!

I ordered the Chawirma Chicken entrée and cashew baklava for dessert. While waiting, I had a great conversation with the owner, which made me feel more comfortable about my choice. He even threw in a free appetizer when I mentioned I was taking my food to go—such a nice gesture.

The main course was excellent, especially the chicken. However, the pita and salad were a bit below average. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would go back to try something else on the menu. The dessert was a standout!

Called and ordered lentil soup with spinach and potatoes, a cheeseburger with steak fries , a lamb gyro, and tabbouleh salad went to pick up ready fast while there I got some baklava (there baklava is amazing) everything was delicious. The owner is a very pleasant man . And the inside restaurant is back open for business. It’s a small place next to Gillian’s pub and Sandy’s barber shop on James Street . Food is always excellent. He gave me a free eggplant appetizer that was also delicious.

Vegetarian options: They have falafel and hummus and non meat grape leaves ,tabbouleh salad and Greek salad.

Found Goodies in my dining program and, as the closest option, I gave it a shot. Liked it so much the first night, I returned the next. Easy to overlook because there is not a lot of curb appeal and it's not in a ''trendy'' area but the food is awesome and the staff/owner is friendly and pleasant. The boss did it all...seating, waiting, cooking and clean up. (There was actually someone else back in the kitchen but I never saw them. LOL)

I had their version of dolmathes which was excellent. Kibbeh was dinner the first night. Lamb kebab the second. Both were excellent with ample portions. The cool find here was the Laziza, a Lebanese non-alcoholic beer, which is delicious. I had several.

Reasonable prices and worth giving them a shot.

Parking: Small lot in front and a lot in back.

We ordered gyros and French fries. They literally gave us above 10 fries each order which was 4 dollars each. Gyros had no tziki sauce and was not too good. I don't usually leave bad reviews but I think they can do better.
