Mediterranean Delite

I am glad that I stopped by and had delicious food, finally I found a spot making a tasty food

I don’t want to sound harsh or disrespectful — this is simply my personal experience, and it might be different for others. I invited my manager to this restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing compared to how it used to be. I’m not sure if the ownership has changed (maybe from Arab to Turkish management), but the overall quality felt lower than before. The food was average at best. Of course, taste is subjective, but I was quite surprised that a Mediterranean restaurant didn’t get the hummus right. Good hummus should have well-cooked chickpeas, fresh lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, and just the right balance of flavors — creamy and smooth, not grainy. When served, it should have a touch of lemon, olive oil, and maybe a sprinkle of paprika, chili, or sumac — but definite

I've been going to this restaurant since it first opened long ago by the original owner. Since then, it's exchanged hands but have kept improving. Lovely family owned vibe and service is great. Dog friendly seating outside and they even bring out a bowl of shedded chicken with a bowl of water for free upon arrival. My boys were so happy that they sang for the staff : ) I highly recommend that you stop by anytime. If you're in a rush and need quick service or just hanging out on a chill weekend. We ordered the lamb and vegetarian moussaka.... loved it!

I feel so bad writing this, but if you’re going thinking it’s the old Mediterranean Delight, folks I’m so sorry, it’s not. I don’t know what happened. New owner, I’m thinking? All the recipes are different. We’ve been coming to Mediterranean delight since 2009 and I’m so heartbroken. To the new owners credit, the texture of the falafel was on point it was just the inside had NO flavor. Same with the hummus. Texture was good, but no flavor. I had to take a pic of the tabouli because it’s literally just parsley with two small strips of cucumber??? I pushed it around to see if maybe it was hidden but nope, just parsley. If you’ve never been to the old MD, maybe this would be fine, but if you KNOW, then this is a disappointment.

Service was quick. Ordered veggie combo after confirming it is vegan. The platter was generous, but the falafel had a strong smell of meat. As a vegan, I would not recommend this to vegans and vegetarians. My colleague also noticed the same thing. I would expect them to use different fryers for vegan foods.
