“Receiving a BCI of 87, the
Village Grill delivers reliable Mediterranean comfort food with plenty of halal and vegetarian choices, a solid kids’ menu, and approachable prices. It’s not fine dining, but as a neighborhood staple it checks all the boxes: good food, friendly service, and inclusivity.

The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with indoor seating that feels cozy and an outdoor patio perfect for people-watching in Great Falls. Accessibility is wheelchair-friendly, parking right out front, and gender-neutral restrooms.

The menu covers a lot of ground. Halal meats dominate the kebabs and gyros (~31% of all entrées), vegetarian plates are well represented (~16%), and several items can be adapted gluten-free, though there are no codes like GF or V listed—you’ll need to ask the staff. Kids get their own menu (~11% of offerings) with smaller portions like chicken tenders, gyro wraps, and pita pizza.

Service is consistently friendly and efficient, whether dining in or picking up takeout. Prices run $10–20 per entrée, which is excellent value for the quality and portion sizes.

Best picks: gyros, kebab platters, falafel wrap, and baklava for dessert.

The Brodbeck Confidence Index (BCI 2.0) measures consistency across food, service, atmosphere, accessibility, and value, and translates that into a simple probability: an 87% likelihood that a guest will enjoy an above-average experience.“

“Moby Dick is one of my go-to spots for quick and reliable Persian food. The food is always consistent. The portions are generous for the price, and service is impressively fast. Whether I’m grabbing something on the go or sitting down for a quick meal, they always have everything I’m craving. A solid local favorite!“

“Been eating Moby dick for over 20 years now. They've managed to preserve the quality in everything except the pita. This bread is obviously now shipped in from a factory and not made fresh. I understand that y'all are expanding rapidly but I would ask that you bring back the fresh baked pita cuz this dry cardboard is tanking my experience“

“Best delicious juicy bbq in the area with the right spices! Rice is cooked to perfect taste, the piece of butter they always add on top can easily be scooped out according to preference! The assorted salads are a great addition and very tasty. The humus is better than that made in Lebanese restaurant. I recommend everyone in the area to try it 👍🏼“

“I was in heaven eating the yummy food! I love the ground beef & rice!“
