Midterms are over for the most part and after midterms and finals I like to treat myself to a good dinner. This time a friend and I went to Mediterranean Grill in midtown. We split a veggie plate, a large tabouleh, walnut baklava and basbousa.
We started with the tabouleh which is a parsley salad with tomatoes, bulgar and lemon. Personally, tabouleh is one of my favorite foods and I love mine with lots of lemon. At Mediterranean Grill however, no extra lemon on the side is needed.

The veggie plate had more tabouleh, a side salad, two pieces of falafel, baba ghanouj, hummus, two pieces of pita and tzatziki.

Dessert was the basbousa, a coconut cake with nuts on top, and walnut baklava. If you like your baklava syrupy this is the place to get it.

Although Mediterranean Grill is a chain, their food is always good and service is quick. If you’re new to Mediterranean cuisine, this is a great place to start. If you’re a connoisseur, this is still an excellant place to go for an easy quick bite.
