Customer Reviews
The atmosphere was very welcoming and the food was great. You get some welcome bread as you decide on dinner. Pick the 3 hummus dip as it is my favorite starter to go with. The mandalpun burger is cooked well done but you wouldn't think so because it's very juicy and the blackened Mahi Mahi was delicious as well. I had a wonderful dinner here and will definitely come again.
Mendaloun Mediterranean Restaurant seriously delivers. The moment you walk in, you get that warm, inviting vibe—like you’re about to eat something made with actual care. The space feels cozy but still modern, and the service is the kind where they check on you just enough without hovering. The food is the real star, though. Everything comes out fresh, flavorful, and clearly made from quality ingredients. The hummus is incredibly smooth, the kebabs are tender and perfectly seasoned, and the rice has that aroma you only get from a kitchen that knows exactly what it’s doing. Even the small dishes—like the salads and dips—taste balanced and authentic. What I loved most is that nothing felt rushed or pre-made. Every plate tasted like it was crafted to actually impress, not just fill you up. I
“Wow” What an amazing restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we knew we had picked the perfect spot for Mediterranean cuisine. The ambiance was inviting and elegant, with soft Mediterranean music playing in the background and stunning decor that instantly set the mood. The menu offers a wide variety of options, from cold to hot appetizers. We started with the fried calamari and shrimp both were fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. The quinoa avocado salad was a standout. So fresh and beautifully balanced, it left me speechless. For the main course, the chicken kabobs were grilled to absolute perfection: beautifully charred on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. The mixed grill was equally impressive, featuring filet mignon that was seared and cooked just right. And the dessert
Thought it was good but not great. The appetizers (we had lentil soup, salad, and falafels) were very good, but small portions. The entrees were mixed. The chicken kabab was tender but not the most flavorful. The kofta kabab was on the dry side. Not the best fries, and the rice was awful (way too buttery). I typically like the rice pilaf I get with Mediterranean food. The server was very nice and responsive, but never introduced herself. Also, coming at night, there is no lit sign, so difficult to see the restaurant. Overall, not sure it was worth the high prices.
If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable evening — one that rivaled, and in some ways reflected, the Mediterranean magic my wife and I experienced during our 12-day trip to Crete, Greece in July 2024. We’re not just lovers of Mediterranean cuisine — we’re seasoned travelers of it. We’ve dined on the sun-kissed shores of Palma de Mallorca, savored seafood on the coast of Spain, and indulged in fresh, authentic flavors on the Greek Isles. So, trust me when I say: this American Mediterranean restaurant is the real deal. Let’s start with the service — because before the first dish hit our table, we were already impressed. The staff, a young, vibrant team, carried themselves with professionalism and warmth. They
