My mom and brother have been enjoying the delicious food at this unassuming Persian restaurant for several years. As I am visiting from out of state, I couldn't wait to try Malek's Grill. They did not disappoint. The food was tasty and cooked and seasoned perfectly. The owner was very kind and accommodating. The portions are fair for the price. It is always a good sign when you see many customers enjoying the food remembered from back home.

Malek's Grill has garnered praise for its generous portions and kind service. Reviewers have consistently enjoyed the food, citing it as "tasty and cooked and seasoned perfectly." The combo meals, which include a variety of grilled meats and kebabs, have been a particular highlight, with one reviewer noting that there was "plenty of food" for a family dinner.
However, reviewers have noted that the combo meals can be pricey, and that the items included may be misrepresented by the cashier. Additionally, one reviewer found the grilled meats to be smaller than expected compared to the kebabs. It's worth noting that the restaurant is open for in-person ordering and pickup, with one reviewer praising the staff for putting their order in their car for them.

The menu item that I ordered was the combo with all of the meats. The price was exorbitant and the items included in the combo were misrepresented by the cashier before paying for the order. Upon receiving the food, the 3 pieces of grilled steak and three pieces of grilled chicken were substantially smaller than the ground beef and ground chicken kebabs. There was only one piece of pita bread included in an item that has so much meat, as well. The food was not that tasty and the seasonings for the meat were relevantly bland compared to other Mediterranean food restaurants.

I ordered 2 family size meals for my daughter's family Birthday dinner the other day. The service was great when I ordered (in person) and when I picked up (he put in my car for me) . There was plenty of food, I was surprised at how much food we got. We even had leftovers for dinner the next day. The food was so good!! I have no complaints about any items. When I order from here again, I will probably order extra hummus and bread. Everything else was plenty!! Everyone agreed, we will be ordering here for our family get togethers again soon. Laura
