If I could give negative I would. The owners wife drops food on the ground and says to throw it on the grill to sanitize it then serves it to you. The kitchen is no where near clean of cross contamination as she handles raw meat with her bare hands then doesn't wash them and touches other things. Please don't eat here if you care about your health.

Me and my girlfriend went here when we were spending the day together and it was legitimately the best food ever we've had in Lancaster ever. The ambience is amazing, the server (Jen) and the chef (Jeanie) were absolutely amazing everything is just 5 stars. The chicken parm, spicy lamb gyro, spinach feta dip, salad and soups were absolutely amazing! 10/10 can't wait to come back!

This place looks like a little dump from the outside. Plain brick in a stip mall. But the interior is very nicely decorated, the food is delicious, and the service is good. I enjoy the great daily specials as well.

We were a party of 4 who entered the establishment around 6:30 pm on a Friday. After a couple minutes a waitress told us we could sit wear we want to. About 10 minutes later the waitress came to the table with menus. She told us well we can’t get to you for an hour and probably another hour for your food. I looked around they had about 7 tables. No table did not already have drinks except ours. After the waitress brought 1 water and 1 Diet Coke after we ordered 2 water a Diet Coke and a Tea. We waited another 20 minutes and so after 30 mins tossed $3 on the table for the Diet Coke and left. No one said a word to us as we left. Two things stand out. Their staff doesn’t care and 2 waitresses cannot handle 7 tables. Although we have enjoyed the food in the past, I don’t this establishment deserves anyone’s time or $$$.

Since Valentine’s Day I have been thinking about how to word what I’m about to say. so I figure the best way to say when I’m about to say he has just come right out and say it. So here goes.
I worked in the food service industry for over 30 years and I know how at times we as diners experience bad service or bad food at a restaurant. It happens. But what I experienced last Friday has got to be talked about or at least mentioned and then maybe things will improve for this particular establishment.
As I said on Valentine’s Day, my girlfriend and I went out to celebrate the evening. It’s the first Valentine’s Day that she and I have even celebrated in over a decade and I wanted to make it special for her.
Neither one of us had been to the Mediterranean on 33 in Lancaster and I picked up a menu and we looked at it and thought OK, why not check it out .
What was supposed to be a pleasant evening turned into a disaster, and now every Valentine’s Day, we are going to remember this.
We had two steaks with veggies, etc. as a special, so that’s what we got. The girlfriend ordered a ribeye and I got the top sirloin. Somebody needs to teach these people what a top sirloin and a ribeye is.
It is not a paper thin piece of meat, and a ribeye is bigger than a petite sirloin. That is exactly what we got. It was cooked all wrong, my steak had more gristle than actual meat and what meat I did get to eat was tough.
The girlfriend could not eat hers either because she said it was like biting into rubber. And since they advertise American foods as well, it is customary in the United States to have steak sauce on hand for steak orders. This restaurant doesn’t. Their condiment is mustard, ketchup barbecue sauce that’s it.
Service was also a joke. We sat down and it took them nearly 25 minutes to get drinks to us, another 20 minutes to come to us to find out what we were going to eat in the way of an appetizer, and I had to go find her to do that. She was too busy behind the bar talking to a few customers her reply was I’ll be with you in a few minutes. another 30 minutes for the appetizer, and it was on our table less than two minutes when the main course came out.
After about 15 minutes of trying to eat something we decided to get our food to go. Before we left, the girlfriend decided to go to the ladies room. She walked in to look at a big hole in the ceiling right over the commode. That would give a woman an uncomfortable feeling as she was very uncomfortable With a hole over her head. 
There are other issues that I could list that I’m not going to. This was our first visit to this establishment and it is definitely the last time.

Second time there. Great food great service small niche restaurant needs everybody's support; otherwise McDonald's and Wendy's will be all that's left.!

I will never return. I asked the waitress separate question which was turned off the TV because there’s something on there. I didn’t wanna see she refused. Our food was horrible and it wasn’t worth the 60 bucks we paid and half our food was uneditable if that’s supposed to be a representation of Greek food I can 100% say that it is not!!

Absolutely fantastic food. Great atmosphere. I recommend getting the spicy lamb gyro. The baklava is to die for.

Bridget Swiggett

My husband and I randomly tried this place about 2 weeks ago, we have been here 5 times since then.. We have lived here our entire lives just never stopped in (big regret). That being said we are addicted to basically everything, the service and atmosphere is phenomenal! Gyros, burgers, French onion soup, fries, etc.. Definitely will continue to be our favorite spot!
