Reviews For Mediterranean Grill Athens

Keep the good stuff coming! This spot is a hidden gem off five points in Athens. Situated between smooth king and the shell station. Their food is a welcome step outta the box for something new and exciting.

The weekday business lunch combo is a blessing. All the meat is cooked to perfection, the rice is flavorful, and the salad is always fresh. The only complaint I have is the pita (which I think they have switched recently, it used to be great too) being too chewy and unpleasant. But everything else is top notch

So many places to eat in a College Town but so hard to find a good one. The Mediterranean Grill is a WONDERFUL Place to eat. Owned & Operated by a Jordanian Family who truly cares about their customers. Delicious, healthy & affordable food.

This place is such a gem in Athens. We are always doing delivery from here for a quick dinner. The freshness of veggies and flavors of the different sauces and meats are always great and consistent. Highly recommend the combination entree, hummus, and falafel.

Excellent, as always. I've eaten at The Mediterranean Grill since they only had the one location in Decatur. I recommend the business lunch special. It's a good variety and a lot of food for the price.

Food was good, portions are large. The Gyro meat is not halal here. I asked to replace it with chicken for the combo feast lunch deal and they accidentally put gyro but were quick to remake my meal and get it to me. They add a bit too much vinaigrette on the salad so ask for it on the side.

I don't live in Athens but I work near the east side. There aren't many halal restaurants around here so I was glad to stumble upon this place. For the price you get a hefty yet great tasting serving. Their lunch special is pretty good too. From the Arab music to the spacious seating area I'd say this place was almost flawless. Will be returning often
