The Mediterranean

Wait staff was awesome. Waited 45 minutes for dinner to come. Atmosphere was atrocious with unbearable TV news on right above our table.Salad was very good. I had the seafood Mediterranean plate. The vegetables were top notch, the sauce a little bland but serviceable, and the shrimp was fine. My scallops were cold. Like, really refrigerator cold. Strangely, my wife ordered the same dish and hers was fine. Price was very fair for what they were trying to do but cold seafood just doesn't work.Manager heard my complaint and offered to take my plate back and put it in the microwave (?!?!),,, but at that point we'd been in the place well over an hour and we just wanted to get done and out of there.I pity the poor woman who waited on us and I tipped her well. I will not go back.

Great gyros. Nice atmosphere and good service. We had gyros both times we went. A hidden treasure in Lancaster.

It's one of those strip mall hole-in-the walls that is a complete gem once you walk through the door. I had second thoughts when we parked outside, but my husband convinced me that it looked like a place that has been there forever. And, like always, he was not wrong.I love gyros. And this was my lucky day as they were on special. Our server (young lady with long dark hair) was absolutely delightful....attentive, polite, and competent.We had the flaming cheese, taziki dip (phenom!), and gyros. It was all delicious and served very quickly.The tables were sticky and the booth seats held together with duck tape, but I wouldn't hesitate to go back in a heartbeat. Five ‼

I see great reviews, but something must have changed. Very long wait, close to 1 1/2 hours to get food, and it wasn't crowded. We got in and out in 2 hours. When the food arrived to our party of 4 adults and one child, it wasn't good. One order of a fish dish was completely wrong and served with a sauce over pasta, it didn't look appetizing. My daughter-in-law couldn't eat it. They did take $15 off of the bill. The fries for our grandson's meal looked burnt, definitely overcooked. I was promised olives for my salad, but they weren't there. The salad was just okay. My son had onion rings drenched in oil and not appetizing to eat. My husband's fish sandwich was also overcooked. Would not visit here ever again.

Mediterranean on 33 is the best place in Lancaster to get Greek food. Ok, it's the only place. They don't have competition thankfully. It's okay but nothing mind blowing. They have a bar so you can get a drink while your food comes out. I had the falafel sandwich. It's about $10 and comes with fries. The falafel were pretty tasty. It was kind of burnt. The inside however was okay. It would have been nice if there had been more. They only put in a few pieces. Fries were good. Of course how could you screw those up. It was a lot like Greek fast food. Some of it was good and other parts could have been better. This could be visited again if going into Lancaster but I wouldn't make a trip for this.

I got a platter because i wanted to try the Greek salad and hummus and it seemed like a good deal. I was disappointed to find the salad to be some lettuce on my plate with feta and a tomato wedge.The chicken had a chicken fajita Mexican vibe more so than Mediterranean in my opinion. The hummus was delicious though and the salad dressing was also really good. The weirdest thing to me about the platter is the French fries. It doesn't fit. I would have much rather skipped the fries and had a bigger salad.Atmosphere wise the dining room is surprisingly decent considering the outside of the building. However there was loud oldies music playing which also didn't fit. The music made it feel like a dated 50's diner and the staff kept skipping songs which made for skipping around.I think this place definitely has potential but it needs some work.

Drive by this place all the time so decided to stop in after work and pick up dinner. This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's very nice inside. Decent size bar and seating area. We got the gyro pita platter with seasoned fries, a side of falafel, and baklava. The food was very good, not much else I can say about it. Now, the reason for only 4 stars. This is mostly a sit down restaurant, so not sure how many take out orders they get. There weren't more than 4 tables occupied when we got there, with 3 more groups arriving afterwards. It took them over 30 minutes to get us our order, which IMHO, is a bit too long to wait for a takeout order. The other part of the 4 star rating is the gyro was a bit chincy when it came to the meat. I've had gyros for cheaper with more meat.Overall, we'll go back to dine in but probably not do take out. Ownership does seem friendly and the staff as well. I believe they are the only Greek place in Lancaster.

Four of us stopped in last night, when it was in the single digits in January, and had a great time & enjoyed every bite. No complaints here.Lancaster "old-timers" may remember this building as "Kane's Restaurant" once upon a time, and other than a sign change out front to "The Mediterranean" I'm guessing there really haven't been any updates since the 1970's. So don't be surprised by the vintage interior, either.We started out with the Pita Bread & 4-Dip appetizer, ("Mediterranean Sampler") which consisted of fresh, warm pita triangles and a choice of creamy Tzatziki, hearty Hummus, a Spinach & Feta cheese and a slightly spicier Red Pepper & Feta cheese dip. All of the dips were quite good, and we alternated between all of them.I'm fond of Greek food already, so I ordered the traditional Lamb Gyro, with everything but onions, and a side of Greek Fries (with lemon juice squeezed over them and Feta cheese sprinkled on top). The Gyro was stuffed full, with generous portions of warm meat, cheese and veggies. Very tasty! I like to eat my Greek Fries quickly, because they tend to cool down quickly and never quite taste the same when they are cold, so I only ate half of them. But they were really good. One of the others in my group had the waitress copy my order, and she seemed pleased with her meal as well.Another member wanted a basic hamburger, and got the All American Burger and seemed very happy with it. It was a nice, large cheeseburger on a brioche bun, came with a side of chips, and was only $7.75. Not bad! (In fact, she tends to be very frugal by nature, and commented that she couldn't believe how reasonable all the prices were).The fourth member of our group wasn't interested in eating Greek Food when we sat down, and she'd planned on getting a burger also. But she surprised all of us by ordering the "Shrimp & Scallop Mediterranean" with a side salad and basic fries. She got a full plate of seafood, assorted veggies and rice, and she loved it! It was more than she could eat, so the other three of us accepted her offer to have a taste and it was delicious!We were all too stuffed to try the desserts, which was a shame, because the cannoli looked fantastic. Maybe next time.If a "hole in the wall" vibe doesn't scare you when you pull up to this building, give this place a try. I think you'll be pleased that you did.

Service - the server was very attentive and you could tell she enjoyed her job.Food - the food was very good (lamb gyro and Greek salad)

Had a great meal last night. Server was attentive and charming. Overall a nice experience. My only complaint is that on all the tvs was political programming. Regardless of my or my friend's political affiliations, we are out to have a nice dinner and not be bombarded by political news. There were at least 4 tvs and they were all tuned to the same station. Please consider your customers and that eating out is a chance to escape the world for an hour or 2.
