Taste of Mediterranean is an absolute gem. Their food is fresh, flavourful, and fully halal, which is a huge plus. The chicken souvlaki pita wrap is my personal favourite — perfectly seasoned, tender, and wrapped with all the right toppings. The service is consistently excellent, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They make you feel like a valued guest every time you walk in. If you’re looking for delicious Mediterranean food with great hospitality, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Had an awesome date here! The food is prepared fresh and the wait isn't long at all. I tried the classic chicken souvlaki and my bf had a special chicken souvlaki over fries. Both tasted delicious. As we were eating we said we would come back here! Workers have excellent customer service. It is warm inside the building but they had an industrial sized fan blowing at the seating area. Would recommend!

Amazing service!!! Delicious food and quick service at such a great price. The whole family could eat without breaking the bank and they have student specials 11-3pm. Friends and I now have a new place to eat, I would highly recommend!

I recently visited Taste of Mediterranean, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The food was average — some dishes lacked authentic Mediterranean flavor and freshness. The service was decent but nothing special. The biggest disappointment was the atmosphere — it felt dull and uninviting, lacking the warm and vibrant feel you’d expect from a Mediterranean restaurant. Overall, not a place I’d rush back to.

Love this place. I've had 2 lamb and beef gyros in the last 3 days. Super nice staff loaded up my 8 inch beauty with a ton of meat. You add veggies and any sauces you desire. They popped feta on as well. Great meal.
