We've been to the Berkeley location many times and recently visited the San Francisco restaurant while in the City. Both are an excellent choice for good, fresh food in a relaxed environment. Highly recommend the sampler platters, especially the vegetarian one. Choose several things to share so you can try many different specialties. We love the dolmas! More

Service was fantastic and ambiance was great.We had vegetable Kabab and Hummus.The quality of food was superb. Overall, great value for the price. No wonder this is an institution... More

Been coming to this very popular restaurant for the past 17 years for delicious lunches and dinners. Unbelievable consistency! (It's almost weird how consistent the food is.) My kids and I always get the Vegetarian Middle Eastern Plate. My parents get the regular Middle Eastern Plate or lamb kebabs. My husband likes the lamb. I love the variety of the... More

La Mediterranee has a very solid menu of reasonably priced Mediterranean food that is very reasonably priced. I usually get the Middle Eastern Plate which has a little bit of everything from salad, hummus, cinnamon chicken in dough, a spinach in dough, a levant sandwich, to a leg of chicken pomegranate. The two chicken dishes are very tasty. They have... More

The food here is fresh and well prepared (e.g. the dolmas are not overly oiled like many other places and they use fresh grape leaves and simple flavoring). The ground beef in filo is also very simple but delicious. You will find your basic middle eastern/Mediterranean foods here without much twists but served timely. It's typically a crowded and festive... More
