Watan Mediterranean Grill

I decided to treat myself to a meal without my moderately, on a budget, best friend, aka my son lol. I love mediterranean food, and I always evaluate how delicious a mediterranean restaurant is based on its falafel and fries. The staff member that took my order was very nice and warm. I ordered the vegetarian platter, which included 3 falafel, hummus, baba ghannouj, grape leaves, and tabbouli salad, with a side of fries. The whole meal was very fresh and appetizing.The falafel was crispy on the outside and moist/ flavorful on the inside. I found out the secret to moist falafel, but you will have to visit this restaurant to find out, my are sealed. I LOVED the baba ghannouj, it was roasted perfectly and creamy. The grape leaves were creamy yet not soggy like some can be. The fries were hot and fries , and I got them with no salt.The staff member checked on the patrons to make sure all was well. If I am back on this side of town, I'll stop by again.I would like to see a veggie option on the kids' menu.

Stopped in the new Watan for a bite. Had the Falafel Sandwich. It was pretty light on "stuffing" and I couldn't taste the falafel. The sauce in the little container was very thin and tasteless. I think I'm spoiled by Sahara, but they're closed for vacation. Maybe I'll go back to Watan and try the lunch special?75

Hear ye Hear yeThere is a new sheriff in town. Today I went to a new Middle Eastern/ Mediterranean restaurant in town. It is called Wattan (Homeland in Arabic) Mediterranean Grill. It is located off Partner Place on Clays Mill road right behind the Burger King restaurant. I always go visit new places with a sense of skepticism hoping to lose it when I leave the establishment. Boy did I do that today. Wattan is a small diner in a hidden shopping center in town but it offers big taste and good old Middle Eastern food in return. One of the owners was there and all of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The place is very clean and modern in a sense and the food prep is right in front of you which to me is a sign of owners caring about quality and cleanliness. They have a full fledged menu of what your little heart desires. The difference that I could clearly sense is the taste. They are from Lebanon and thus the taste is so different than the all Middle Eastern food in terms of spices and preparation. The food was simply awesome. We ordered the vegetarian platter that had Very tasty Hummus and Baba Ghanoush (smoked eggplant flesh minced and mixed with garlic, lime juice and olive oil) and a meat platter with rice and three skewers of Chicken Kebab and Kufta( ground beef skewers) and a beef kebab that was marinated to perfection. The marinade on the meat were so special that it took me by a good surprise. It was flavorful and exotic and the meat were so tender and so delicious. I am not trying to convert some of Sahara pilgrims to go elsewhere but is have a challenge for you. Go try Wattan once and see if you can taste the difference. I'm very sure you will and you will be pleasantly surprised. Prices are very budget friendly and for the quality you get it is well worth it. Thank you for reading this

We tried this restaurant for the first time and enjoyed our team. The atmosphere is simple but clean. You order from the front and they bring the food to the table. They do not offer alcoholic drinks but you can byob. The baba ganoush was excellent. We ordered a Greek salad with chicken shawarma. The salad was good and the meat proportion is generous. It's shaved chicken so quite a bit drier than the sautéed shawarma I have had at other places. There is a garlic sauce that was delicious that I dipped the chicken in to add moisture. We enjoyed this local spot and will be back

Solid Mediterranean. Good options, reasonable prices. Falafels were less spicy than other places but decent. Gyro meat was good, hummus and Baba Ghanoush were good. Overall good quality for a good price and good size portions.

Worst Mediterranean place . Got a salad and the dressing tasted like it a generic bottle salad dressing. The other food was so so. Not great. Will not return.

Indulging in exceptional cuisine and experiencing outstanding service is an irresistible delight that keeps me coming back for more.

Tasty and convenient location. Beef galleba (?) was nice--luke beef schwarma cooked with peppers, onions & tomatoes. Very good. Location isn't fancy, but it is clean. Friendly service.Very convenient drive-up window would make carry ouy easy. I'll come back to check that out.

I stopped in for the first time and ordered carry out. OMG - the food quality and taste was outstanding. The service was excellent and caring. I may go back later today - it's that good! The beef & lamb gyro was the best I've ever had.

Very friendly staff. Falafels are amazing! Gyro meat is very good flavor. Very traditional feel.
