Visiting Cincinnati for the first time. Cafe Mediterranean is a lovely, authentic cafe. I ordered the salmon with tarragon sauce. It came with fresh veggies in light olive oil and herbs and a very tasty mixed green salad. My husband ordered the chicken kebab platter. It also arrived with the salad and a sub of fries. Both portions were very generous and very fresh. I opted for the rice pudding. Delicious. Served in a crock with a generous amount of cinnamon on top. Oh so creamy and decadent. We sat outside under an umbrella and enjoyed the summer day and great food with very friendly service.

Was in town for a conference and Mentioned to a local my niece was headed down for a really good dinner. She wanted something with unique flavors since she lives in a small town without many options. We were blown away with the food! The appetizer was big and so we over ordered... ended up taking a lot home which will make her lunch and dinner! The staff was great too! Friendly and helpful. (Found this place thanks to Jon at TQL who gushed about how great it was, he was right!)

Everting is very delicious I highly recommend this establishment to all people who love fast food, the service is very kind and courteous, we will come again many times!

Always excellent service and awesome food. Very enjoyable experience. Even my picky teenager loved food and asks to go back

I chose this spot when my fam asked me to choose a place for Mother's Day. I was not disappointed! The variety on the menu was quite good, as was the service. We requested to sit outside, where I was initially a little concerned about noise level, but it was very pleasant. when I had a question about one of the items on the cold sampler appetizer, they made sure I got the answer, I'm assuming it was the restaurant owner, who came out to explain it to me. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the restaurant staff was highly attentive and knowledgeable. We really like to choose locally owned over a chain any day of the week and Café Mediterranean Was outstanding. Being a Sunday afternoon, we finished off with a stroll around Ault Park. What a gem of a place!

What a great place. Everyone was friendly and helpful with the menu. The falafel had great flavor and the hummus did not disappoint. The place was quiet and cozy. This is a must try.

The food and service were both excellent!! Started with the Cold Appetizer Sampler and every item on the plate was absolutely delicious. I had the Doner Gyros Kebab and the meat was full of flavor and very tender. My wife had the Stuffed Cabbage Roll with the perfect amount of lamb & beef inside. The restaurant was nicely decorated with a modern vibe but with traditional Turkish decor. Highly recommend!!

This is some of the best Mediterranean food I have ever eaten! Oh my gosh. The stuffed grape leaves, the humus, the vegetables, the spinach pide, the kabobs, the desserts....where do I start? Everything is seasoned so perfectly and cooked with great attention to every detail. The service is impeccable. The owner takes great care to make sure every customer is treated like family. I have been here twice and both times were an epic culinary success. Highly recommend and we will be back for sure.

This is the 2nd time we've come here. And we are NEVER disappointed! Service was great, food was delicious. And the atmosphere was comfortable , not horribly noisy, but not so quiet you needed to whisper to avoid other table from hearing your conversations. This trip we had 5 folks, each ordered something different. Between us we had the following: Chicken Shish Kebab, Grilled Atlantic Salmon, Heartland Heritage Farms Lamb Shish Kebab, Shrimp Saute. Several of us also had some wine. I'll keep this short, ALL of us were very pleased and Quite satisfied with our selections. This is a bit of a drive for us, but it is well worth it since everything is so consistently excellent.

Had the best date night at Café Mediterranean! We made a reservation on Open Table for Friday night at 7 PM, although I do not think one was necessary as the space was always busy but never every table full. When we arrived we explained we had never been in before and received many great recommendations from our waitress. We both started with drinks - I had the Cosmo and my partner an IPA. The drinks came out fast which was great. Later in our meal I ordered a glass of their Lebanese red wine (they were out of Turkish wine) which I was a little nervous for as I had never had Lebanese wine but this was a great little surprise and was full of flavor that evolved as you drank it. For food we started with the Cold Sampler Platter which had Hummus, Eggplant Marinara, Babaganoush, Tabouli, Labne and Stuffed Grape Leaves (the first 6 items on the Small Plates part of the menu). The Eggplant Marinara, Hummus and Tabouli were our favorite - they were bursting with flavor and we could not get enough! This came with some house-made bread which was also tasty. For our main courses we had the Chicken Shish Kebab and the Moussaka - and WOW both were so good! The chicken was SO flavorful and perfectly juicy and you could really taste all the different flavors in the Moussaka. Each entrée came with roasted vegetables (zucchini/carrots and tomato/bell pepper) and a side of rice. The rice deserves it own call out as it was perfectly cooked and also FULL of flavor! We were very pleasantly surprised by the rice and appreciated it had its own rightful spot on the plate and was not just a space filler. Overall the portions were HUGE and we did not finish either meal and took leftovers home. We ordered the pistachio baklava for dessert which came with vanilla ice cream and strawberries on the side. The piece was also surprisingly HUGE and cut like a pie slice. It was bursting with pistachios and perfectly flaky on top. The ice cream was also so tasty with a ton of vanilla flavor - it was so good we questioned if it was also house made?? With dessert we also received little glasses of tea - a cute little surprise and perfect ending to the meal! We will DEFINITELY be back here for more!!
