The Mediterranean Restaurant

Ambiance: Quaint, clean; second floor was loud, hard to have a conversation.Service: Very friendly and attentive.Drinks: BYOB.Food: Lamp kabob - meal was good.Parking: City parking, probably have to walk a block or two. Value: OK, not cheap. $26 for ONE skewer w/ hummus, sautéed vegetables, and organic brown rice pilaf.Pleasant experience, will revisit.

It was absolutely delicious!! Every course was amazing. Our server was so kind and caring. Sitting outside in the summer time eating fresh food is just the best vibes! We loved it. Thanks for having us!

My husband got this to go Sunday night. I love Mediterranean food and I was craving it. I was so excited to eat it when I got home. My husband started eating before me and told me that the food was not good and he wouldn't eat it. I thought he was just being dramatic until I started eating it. The food tasted off, and the textures of some of the food were off. We spent over 70 dollars on the food so I didn't want to throw it away. I ended up throwing about half away that night and then the next night I went back to see if I could eat it and it was not good so I ended up throwing away the rest. I was really disappointed with my experience. I don't know if the food would have been better if we had eaten at the restaurant but unfortunately, with our experience, we will not be returning.

Let me preface this review by saying I'm having a bad day. We have a teething infant at home and nobody is getting a lot of sleep. I'm sure some of you can recognize the level of tired I'm at right now. On one hand I'm going to be snippy because I'm tired but on the other hand you have to understand how annoyed I must be to write this review instead of getting some extra sleep. Another factor to consider is we have been pampered by one of the best lebanese restaurants I've ever been to (Cafe Baladi in Frazer). Full disclosure I have celiac so any review for things containing gluten come from my wife. We will not be returning to this restaurant. I'll give you a rundown of the food from best to worst. The scallop small plate was excellent but overpriced. In case you are wondering, the market price for TWO scallops is 18 bucks. The hummus was good. It's not winning any records but still pretty good. The falafel was also pretty good but the sauce was well I don't know what it actually was because all I tasted was Franks red hot. This was confirmed by my wife. I said 'tell me what you think of the falafel sauce' and she replied 'all I tasted is what I think is Franks red hot'. She is from Buffalo and eats lots of wings. Franks red hot is a common base to wing sauce. We both know what Franks tastes like. I know there slogan is 'I put that **** on everything' but I'm not sure this is what they had in mind. The bolognase was awful. It lacked flavor and the pasta was so overcooked it was practically mush. The ground beef in the kafta platter was not salted and there was an overwhelming taste of charred meat with what I think was clove. The rice in the Kafta platter was also mush. The pita was served in a plastic bag from which the restaurant got it. I know the boiling question on the tip of your tongue is 'ooohhh where do they get their pita?' They source their pita from soumaya & Sons bakery in Whitehall, pa. The restaurant advetises that bread is made in their bakery. Perhaps only levened bread is made there - I have no idea. Maybe it's a religious thing? The baklava was soggy. I dont know how else to describe it, soggy. I tried to take a picture but soggy doesn't seem to translate to a digital format. The gluten free cookies were pretty good though.

We had so much fun and enjoyed a delicious dinner! Music happened to be right outside (Friday night in July) I tried the eggplant special and it was delicious! Boyfriend had beef platter and enjoyed it. I was skeptical about tabouli (I've never really enjoyed it before) but it was so good! Don't be intimidated by the menu, it's just extra flavors!

The food was wonderful! Highly recommend ordering the Maza Platter as an appetizer so you can try multiple dishes in smaller portions. We ordered 3 large plates for 4 people share and it was plenty. The falafel, lamb kabob, and khafta were absolutely delicious, tasted like the flavors I grew up with!Super gluten-free friendly! I got to enjoy foods I grew up with but haven't gotten to eat since being gluten free.Thank you to the kind staff, will definitely come again!

Had dinner Sunday night with a group of 7. I was completely underwhelmed. Ordered for an appetizer the "meat pie." This was essentially hamburger sautéed with onions on a thin pita. The flavor was bland with no interesting spices as we expected. The much anticipated falafel was quite dry. But my salmon entree is what gives this the poor review. While I like my ahi tuna rare, I do not care for salmon this way. It came out rare and mushy. I Guess the old adage of not getting fish on Sunday nights is true. This did not seem like the freshest fish (very fishy smelling). I sent it back to be pan seared some more- they clearly did not do this as it came back exactly the same. Inedible for me.

An interesting mix of Lebanese and Italian cuisine. Many choices, well-prepared. Moderate prices.

Absolutely wonderful place to eat. The food is delicious and the staff is extremely helpful and willing to make accommodations for people with food sensitivities. Would highly recommend!

Bad food. Bad service. Sat for an hour before they even came and took the order. Don't bother coming here. Better options nearby.
