Authentic and amazing! Nawal's Mediterranean Grill, situated in Bulldog Crossing, Big Rapids, is a hidden gem. The restaurant's eclectic Mediterranean decor establishes a genuine ambiance. One should not be misled by its unassuming appearance and location. The cuisine is exceptionally authentic, with fresh ingredients and handmade preparations, including the ground lamb. The owner, Nawal (pronounced Noel), welcomed us with a warm smile and provided a detailed overview of the menu. We selected the grape leaves, gyros, and Greek salad, all of which were delightful, with the gyros being the finest I have ever tasted. We also requested a couple of servings of grape leaves to go. Furthermore, we were entertained by a talented young magician following our meal. It goes without saying that I who

We had the owner herself, not only wait on us, but make our food. Amazing service and It is honestly the best Mediterranean I have had. The drinks were amazing the starter Soups are absolutely phenomenal and don't even get me started on the Gyro! 11/10 would come back again anytime, and from now on this will be a staple stop on my GR Food Stops!

What a little gem of a place. The owner was so pleasant and our waitress was very good. We tried a lot of different things knowing we would bring some home and we were not disappointed. The food we tried was chicken gnocchi soup, spicy lentil soup, fattoush salad, chicken and lamb gyro, and saffron rice. Dessert was bread pudding and baklava. The baklava is hands down the best. I have had it over seas and several places in the U.S and this truly was the best baklava I have ever had.

The staff was really friendly and the food was great. The portions were generous so I split them into two meals. It was a dish I would eat again because it was rich in protein.

I was on my way into the nail salon today, but was busy on my phone and walked in the wrong door………. Best mistake EVER!! Oh my word did it smell delicious in there. I placed an order for after my nail appointment. Everyone was so nice( they even helped me pick out my nail color). I only had a Gyro combo. It was so good. A nice zesty pickle spread covered the flat bread. I just had to order another one to go. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!!!! Definitely going again.
