When was the last time I came here... I think almost 10yrs ago... and yes, I came to have a good dinner.First, food never change from what I expected, the same tastes and servings... I enjoyed the small plates and shareable. Check my pics for reference...every bite brings me back to the old days I used to come here.Second, the ambiance is still carries the old family feel, the old homey feeling of getting dinner. Now, I'm alittle sad, how the service changed, the new servers are not as welcoming or pleasant anymore.. I didn't get that feeling of family welcome... I remember how old times, servers here used to talk to you and make you feel home and make you feel the dinner they served you is the same food you get at home. But, it's the food that matters most, maybe next time I'll just get a take out.

Came here for lunch with a large group of friends and got seated immediately. We all ordered Middle Eastern plates with similar selections. I got the plate with lamb lule, a levant sandwich, and chicken cilicia fillo.The food came out quickly and tasted solid, but considering the portion size and price, it didn't feel worth it.There are definitely better options for better value than coming here.

We came here for dinner and were immediately seated! The place has a lot of tables, both indoor and outdoor, and had a rustic, ceramic vibe. We place our orders, and received the food very quickly!I had the chicken pomegranate dish, and it was very well portioned. The chicken itself was very tender and flavorful. The rice was also well cooked. I think the dish, as a whole, was just a little too oily. My friend had the middle eastern dish, and it gave a good variety of foods. However, I think their fillo pastries were a little too dry. I had decent service, and good food! Glad I got to try it.

The presentation of the food made me question it. My food was Luke warm and looked tampered with upon receiving it. It looked like someone ate out of it

La Mediterranee is a colorful, spacious cafe offering Middle Eastern eats. Their lunch specials were a great deal, and the Middle Eastern Plate came with salad, hummus, and pita bread, along with a selection of three entrees. I tried the crispy falafel topped with tahini, which went perfectly with the warm pita bread and hummus. But perhaps the two items La Mediterranee is most known for are the Chicken Cilicia Fillo, a flaky pastry stuffed with shredded chicken with cinnamon and sugar, similar to a Moroccan bastilla; and the Chicken Pomegranate, a fall-apart tender chicken drumstick seasoned with a sweet and acidic pomegranate marinade, served over a yellow rice pilaf. These two items were must-try dishes, but everything here was flavorful and delicious!

This is a comfy neighborhood restaurant where you can have a quick no-fuss lunch with a friend. I've been coming here for years and usually can walk right in and be seated immediately. On my latest visit I ordered the Middle Eastern plate which has a nice variety of tasty little morsels - not haute cuisine but perfectly fine for a casual lunch. The egg lemon soup was even more delicious than usual on a cold rainy day and the pita bread was fresh and warm. La Med is a reliably decent lunch spot when you're hungry in the Elmwood.

Delicious food! I first tried this restaurant in San Francisco and I was very excited to find out there was a Berkeley location that is closer to me. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. Now for the food! I've been here during lunch time which is my favorite because you can get soup or salad with your meal. My go to is the Middle Eastern Plate. It comes with hummus and you can choose between soup or potato salad. The lemon chicken soup is always my choice since it is delicious. With the plate, you can get 3 choices from their menu. I always make sure to get their pomegranate chicken, and the levant sandwich. I try something different for my third choice but the fillo never disappoints. I came with my daughter and she chose the Chicken Shawarma Plate and the meat was very good! Everything is fresh, and flavorful. It is a lot of food too! This is one of the best restaurants in the area. If you are around, give them a try!

Came here and had the chicken kebab dinner. It took a while for the food to come, but it was hot and tasted fresh. The portion size was huge. All in all pretty tasty, but i've had better mediterranean cuisine for less $$

Went to have lunch today, blonde young man stops us as we open the door, told us they were closed, having a staff meeting, I told my friend oh no! (It was a special occasion) the guy said LOWER YOUR VOICE, he yelled at us! SO MEAN AND RUDE!I've been going there for special occasions for 30yrs I was embarrassed and angry. I wonder if their employee meeting talked about customer service. Won't go back EVER, sad about it.
