Was craving some Mediterranean and stopped for lunch here. This spot did not disappoint. We grabbed a seat outside on their parklet during some amazing weather and luckily there happeend to be a holiday market happening right in front of the restaurant. This made our lunch very lively!We shared the small dips trio and a falafel wrap with a side salad lunch special. Everything was exceptionally fresh and well prepared. I would habe maybe liked a bit of spice option but the food was great already on its own so we didnt end up needing it. It would have just made it a plus.Our service was attentive and cordial without interrupting. This made our lunch experience a great one and now will add this restaurant as an option and will consider checking out their other location as well.

Mainstay on Noe Street for as long as I can remember. Their sandwich board advertising the lamb kebab special brought us in.The ambiance is casual, rustic and Zen with Hellenic decor and gently worn wood.Food is as good as I remembered. We split the combination plate of hummus, baba ghanoush and tabuleh with vegetables and warm pita bread. The baba ghanoush has an umami, smoky taste that hits every note.We both had the lamb sirloin kebab over saffron rice accompanied by Avgolemono soup, a preparation with lots of lemon juice and finely shredded chicken. I'm starting to like their soup preparation; it's unique. The lamb kebab was a little dry but still very tasty and with all the elements on the plate including two dipping sauces, it came together perfectly. A glass of dry white wine was a relaxed way to begin the holiday week over a late lunch. Service was warm and attentive. They brought us extra pita bread for my swimmer and checked on us while we dined. A great place for lunch or dinner. Metered street parking, not difficult during the day.

It makes me very sad to write this review, I would normally give this place infinity stars.I ordered delivery which was really fast - but I'm only a block away so not surprising. But I would have been happy to wait longer to get properly cooked and prepared food, or even something closer to the quality I expect from them. I ordered the chicken kebab dinner. The rice was mixed between uncooked grains and cooked. Kind of baffling, but also inedible. Some of the chicken wasn't cooked through, probably because some of the pieces were very large and thick and others were closer to bite sized.Between a couple of pieces of chicken on one skewe were 2 slimy overcooked pieces of green pepper. On the other kebab there was one very small square of red pepper. What even was the point of those? The potato salad was sopping wet with lemon juice. I normally love their zesty potato salad but this seemed like someone soaked the potato salad with lemon so it was like sour wet creamed potato.For dessert I got the walnut baklava. It was ok but bitter. I expect that from raw walnuts but I'd also expect that in a dessert the walnuts would be prepared to make them more palatable. All in all a really disappointing experience.

Had a great lunch here because of the warm and friendly service, nice outdoor seating, and good food and wine. They had a different menu for lunch and dinner, I didn't look too much at the menus because their chicken shawarma salad special for the day sounded so delicious it was an easy choice. About half of our table, if not more ended up ordering that. We also ordered some liter bottles of their house chardonnay, which ended up being perfect for the beautifully sunny day. The service from everyone working was very nice. They were quick to get our food and wine, and provided a really welcoming atmosphere. We had a group of 8 and stopped in on a Friday afternoon, they were able to quickly push some tables together and get us seated in the parklet.

Came here for a cozy weekend brunch after a Soulcycle workout with a friend. I really enjoyed the Chicken pomegranate wrap (the sides were also delicious), was very juicy and well-balanced flavors. Shakshuka was also great (though maybe not on the level of Troya on Fillmore) and hummus platter was tasty and healthy. Service was also fast on the day we went, as it wasn't very busy. I've been to the location on Fillmore too but I think liked the food at this location a bit more? Overall solid Mediterranean option in the city

We are here pretty regularly. It's nice to have staff recognize and want to come talk with us while here. The food is consistently good, and the prices still reasonable. Good food good service and friendly people. What more can you ask for?

The Fillmore location was closed so we went to this one. The food is familiar to us. The service was friendly. Everyone liked their food but wasn't blown away. We loved the chocolate mousse many years ago but I believe they changed their recipe or where they source it. Fairly expensive but par for the course for the city.

I've been a fan of La Med since the 90's when a coworker introduced me to La Méditerranée on Fillmore street, which was opened in 1979. We would order the Middle Eastern plate and I would switch up the items, as everything I have tried was delicious. It came with soup, salads and your choice of three items. So fast forward to this past year, we went on a boat tour for work of the Bay and they had it catered by La Med. I was so delighted to be able to have this food and rave about this place again. Since then, we have had the catering a few times as it make for great snacking plates. We had a work happy hour and ordered through Doordash to be delivered to the bar. Worked out amazingly and we had the Fruit and Sweet Treats tray (small), Dips and Pita Bread Tray (small) and the Combination Tray (small) to feed a group of about 10 for appetizers. The food is still so good, the service is friendly and prompt. Always a great choice for something a little healthier and delicious.

I revisited this spot just a few days ago and am so glad I gave it another shot!We ordered the chicken pomegranate plate and the salmon kebab. The chicken was so juicy and fell off the bone! This dish takes a bit longer to prepare but was absolutely worth the wait. The salmon kebab was also super flavorful and silky! Pairing both of these meats with the rice and hummus was incredible. The service was 1000 times better too! She was very tentative to us and was so sweet when recommending what bottle of wine to get.

I've been here maybe five times. Progressively gotten worse over the years unfortunately. Falafel was inedible. Literally spit out and pushed to the side, dry to the point of being inedible. "Tahini" was literally water that was white color and bitter to taste. Vegan lamb was good, dry but good covered in yogurt cucumber spread. Regular lamb meatballs were good. Chicken soup was acceptable. Rice pilaf was also inedible. Sweet and squishy. Pita is clearly not made there, dry and flavorless. Happy hour appetizers are decent deal, would not pay full price for them. Won't be back when Troya across the street is an incredibly better option. Service very friendly but not efficient. Small inside with loud music and outdoor is better option despite uncomfortable tables and chairs.
