    Oh, what a treasure this place is!

    I am a big fan of Mediterranean food and this place does not disapoint. I had the cold plate with a side of gyro meat in order to try a little bit of everything and boy, I was glad I did. Everything is incredibly fresh and tasty. The real stand out for me is the tzatziki sauce - HOLY CATS!! I have never tasted anything so good.

    I love this place.  I have been coming there for the past almost 15 years.  The owner has always tried to teach me to eat healthier.  Now that I am 45 and starting to seriously look into eating healthy, I have seen over and over again that the Mediterranean diet is a great path to go down.  The owner is more than willing to help me make that transition.  Lots of tips.  Combine that with great food and it can't be beat.

    This place is just "alright." I went there once sometime in 2009 and the food was absolutely delicious so when I saw a groupon for this place, I was excited to try it again. I went there for lunch. Our food was plentiful but just "ok". Also, who the hell puts pickles in a gyro!? And the owner offered to make my gyro "spicy" which is fine because I love spicy food but instead, what I got was a messy Chilli (think the kind you find in Chinese buffet to add "spice" to food) inside my gyro! It was pretty nasty. I didn't eat. In retrospect, I wouldn't have even paid for it had the owner not been so kind, attentive, and nice. Nothing special.

    Went there for dinner because I realized my groupon was not for lunch, the food was again just "ok". My fish fillet was old and tasted weird so I didn't eat it. We were given free dessert to make up for it. My guy liked his so thats why i didnt give this place just 1 star. The owner was so nice! I just think this restaurant really needs some professional help because the food literally tastes sooo blah!! It's like his wife makes it in the back with no actual professional training. I love the owner so it is really sad that the place has gone from being full every Friday night to total crap. The owner gave us "15% off entree" card but I just tossed it out. I'm sorry but until I see this restaurant on "Kitchen Nightmares" and reformed I won't be going back. Alladins is cheaper and much more flavorful. The only reason I don't go there as often is because there is not one nearby. :(

    I just moved here from Boston and have been looking for a Mediterranean place for lunch and dinner. My mom is Greek so I'm picky with that sort of food, but this place is great! Elias is super friendly and loves talking about healthy eating, which isn't an issue for me. I'll definitely be back for more soon!

    THIS PLACE IS THE JAM Y'ALL.

    For Jackson, this is about as good as Mediterranean food is going to get. I gave it four stars because well, I lived in New Orleans, and I've tasted better Mediterranean food (Lebanon Cafe, Mona's). That's not to say that this Mediterranean food is not good. It's SO good. Shin e. is right, they do have a grocery section which is nice, unfortunately, Jackson doesn't have a huge need for Middle Eastern groceries, so some of the items may have sat on the shelf for a lil' while.

    The stuff in the case is solid though. The desserts are for the most part really good. The tiramisu is AWESOME, but I'm not sure that it justifies the $5.99 pricetag. Try a chocolate pecan bar instead, they're really good (but I'm not sure that it's a middle eastern thing) The hummous is SO SO fresh, you can taste the lemon and olive oil. Do yourself a favor and get some to-go for later in the week.

    Okay so pricing is a little pricy, but in all fairness the portions are pretty huge. The best time to go is for lunch, where you can get lunch plates in the neighborhood of $6-9. Dinner gets a little pricy with plates ranging from $10-$20.

    I had the kebab which was good, but not the best I've ever had. Then I tried my brother's dish, and realized I made a mistake choosing meat. This place is called Mediterranean Cafe and Fish Grill, and griling fish  is a fine art that they have perfected. True, they use frozen fish, but they do a pretty good job at making it palatable. Hell, even more than palatable. I would recommend getting the pasta with fish. The pasta is done in this mediterranean sauce that I'm not familiar with, but it's delicious, and there are also grilled vegetables with it too.

    DEF. worth the visit. The owner (Elias?) is a very accommodating guy.

    One last tip, this place is BYOB! Which is amazing! (Except on Sundays). There's a liquor store in the strip, but I'd recommend shopping elsewhere for wine selections.
