Review of Mediterranean Grill

Such amazing flavors! Entering this restaurant felt like entering a Mediterranean space. Service was so friendly and prompt. While we were disappointed that they had run out of stuffed grape leaves, we so thoroughly enjoyed muhammara as a shared appetizer. This Syrian dish is a flavorful blend of ground walnuts, roasted red peppers, and pomegranate molasses, served with flat bread and veggies for me to accommodate my gluten free needs. Our meals came with soup or salad and we both were happy with the vegan lentil soup. It came piping hot in a very generously sized bowl. Nicely seasoned, with diced vegetables, it was more than I could finish with a meal on the way. My husband ordered a Moroccan chicken special. His excitement over the flavors enticed me to take a taste of the broth. The sweet spices of cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, Spanish paprika, and nutmeg were well balanced by the cumin and coriander. Tender chicken was combined with prunes, raisins, and carrots, and served with Basmati rice. Oh my! Such amazing flavors! My meal was delicious, but with more mild flavors. Imam Bayildi is a vegan stuffed eggplant dish, beautifully presented with a bed of Basmati rice and filled with sautéed tomatoes, peppers, and onions. The mild tomato based "au jus" added delicate and delicious flavors. We were way too full to try any desserts. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and vegetarian on the menu, and it was easy to select meals for my diet. I enthusiastically suggest giving this a try!
