The Grape Leaf is the perfect spot for a vegan lunch of Mediterranean goodness! There's a lot for us plant-based types and you will not leave hungry.I'm a lentil soup fanatic, could probably eat it daily and it's so good here, a hearty portion (cup or bowl). Just the right soup to soothe you to the core on a winter day. I followed with hummus, which is also excellent. I'm not a big fan of plain cold pita so I ordered it with veggies instead.The menu is so amazing, though, with an entire vegetarian section as well as oil-free options (never saw that before at a Mediterranean spot). I mean, I'm pretty happy at most places like this because give me a good hummus and lentil soup or fatoush salad and I'm happy. But they have stuff like cauliflower shawarma and moussaka and biryani (note that these may have tzatziki which is yogurt-based so if you're vegan, that will need to be left off).We had great service (quick because we were on a time crunch). The restaurant is cozy but lots of windows to sit by and people-watch. I'd gladly come back anytime!

The server was very nice, which was a great start. The portions were healthy and there was plenty to choose from for lunch. My moussaka was good, but the ground sirloin patty on top was lackluster, dry, and under-seasoned.My meal came with a salad--loved that. Salad was fine.I was a little underwhelmed with the food, but I did enjoy the hospitality!

It's been 11 years since I was last at The Grape Leaf?!? What what!Happy this has been corrected, and happy to not only update my review but to also up the number of stars given.The Grape Leaf should not be overlooked if you like Mediterranean food. I decided to switch things up a bit, and instead of getting shawarma, my normal go-to, I got the salmon kabobs on rice. And this was lovely. I ate every bit of it.The large pieces of salmon were cooked well. And the salmon plus rice plus sauce was a great combo. I will definitely be getting this again.Our server was attentive and helpful. Everyone in my party enjoyed their lunches. The prices were reasonable. Pretty good all around!

On a perfect day to sit outside we visited The Grape Leaf. Dinner starts at 4p and we arrived close enough to order from the menu. I ordered a chicken kabob with choice of two sides, and I selected basmati rice and a greek salad. It was delicious! The chicken was a bit more seasoned than I'm used to but with the rice it evened it out. My husband enjoyed his lentil soup and gyro sandwich. The Grape Leaf is a longstanding restaurant in Louisville. It is showing its age, including the patio and its tables, which needed a wipe down; however, the food is as good as I remember. Prices are reasonable and as good (if not better) as some casual takeout spots. Service was friendly and paced well. I appreciated not being forgotten on the patio. Street parking available.

I LOVE the grape leaf. Their Fatoush salad dressing is out of this world. I get the salad with chicken almost every time I'm in town. They make their chicken perfectly. Not greasy, not dry, and amazing flavor. Their Egyptian lentil is pretty good too, but it used to be bicker which I prefer. Flavor is still phenomenal. Finally, the falafel is some of the best I've had. A lil kick which changes the whole thing. Not a fan of their tzatziki. I find Greek as opposed to Mediterranean/Lebanese make it better. Kafta is also really really good. I also recommend the mushroom appetizer and the chicken Galaba. I don't get it often cause it's a lil greasy (like a Mediterranean stir fry), but it's really really good!!! Toledo has a LOT of Lebanese food, but I ALWAYS find grape leaf is a step above the rest. Go go go!!!!
