It was my first time visiting Mediterranean Kebab House on Maiden Lane. First impressions definitely matter and all I can say was it wasn’t good. Simon looked like he wasn’t all there. Slurred speech and almost whispering. We could hardly hear what he was saying. We ordered the Mushroom Swiss and a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Simon asked us to take a seat and I had to mention that all of the tables were filthy as well as the floor. To his credit he did clean them somewhat. But I had to re-clean the table we sat at. Our order was served in a timely manner. My Swiss Burger was underwhelming and overcooked. Dry as a bone with a minuscule amount of onions and mushrooms. My partner’s Buffalo Chicken Wrap was extremely runny hence making it messy to eat as it just fell apart. He initially wanted Boloni but he was told only the night chef was able to make it. This was not a good experience for us at all. I definitely do not recommend this place as there are several other options out there with fantastic food/hygiene standards. A disappointment.

This was a nice restaurant. It was empty, so the lack of urgency to seat us was a bit confusing. Once the alarm of their first customer of the day settled down we actually enjoyed the food once it came. We did however also order tea in addition to our cokes but I guess that was overlooked. We had to send the baba ghanoush back to be warmed up because there were still chunks of ice in it. The flavor was good though.

Rona is the momma you need in your life! Her restaurant is amazing and the food is incredible!!! Her chef, Simon, is such a gifted cook. As soon as you walk in, Rona greets you with a big smile and a warm heart that makes you feel like part of her family. She will chat with you while you wait for your food. It’s a must if you’re in the area. We will be back every time we are in town!!
