The Med is definitly one of West Chester’s hidden treasures. They have the best food - everything is served fresh and plentiful. The prices are great, so bring your whole family. You won’t be disappointed! This is my favorite restaurant in Chester County. You should give it a try.

I’ve been to the Mediterranean several times and have never had a bad experience. We just slipped in there the other night when all the other ‘hot spots’ in town were overly crowded. We were seated immediately and served by the owner, who sort of reminds me of the Soup Nazi, but in a good way! After we complimented him on this being the best hummus we’ve ever tasted, he told us they make their hummus fresh daily. I would highly recommend the Tuna Skewers that were on special that night, but the Falafel is always delicious as well. Being a non-meat eater, I appreciate the menu at Mediterrean having many savory seafood and vegetarian options. Definetly save room for the baklava, its well worth the extra calories! We will continue to enjoy this true West Chester gem!

The “Med” is one of our favorites in West Chester. The kabobs (esp. lamb) are a win every time and you must try the mushroom appetizer - very simple, but fresh.

Joe’s hummus is the lightest and creamiest I’ve ever had & I’ve yet to replicate it at home.

We reserved the 2nd floor last year for a private Christmas dinner. Joe put together a great prix fix menu and eveyone loved it.

I agree that the upstairs is preferable to the 1st floor, but the one time we ate downstairs I have to admit that I found the kitchen banter entertaining.

We will keep going back! BYOB makes it one of the most affordable nights out in West Chester.

I recently ate at the Mediterranean for the first time. The place was really crowded and a little cramped, but the food was great. Everything was really fresh and had a great flavor. The lamb kabob was cooked perfectly and the side dishes were quite tasty.

This place is FAR from trendy and even farther from convenient. When making a reservation be sure to request the upstairs, otherwise you will be listening to the owners (husband & wife) arguing the ENTIRE time you are dining. I had a hard time enjoy my so called “natural” filet due to the noise coming from the kitchen. Likeliness to return - NEVER!

This is a nice cozy place with good food. Our server was nice. Joe, one of the owners is a real sweetheart. I had the lamb pita it comes with a wonderful side salad so crisp and green. the lamb was broiled to perfection very flavorful & tender. The baklava was done with sugar not honey, which is Lebanese or Egyptian style - Honey is used for the Greek. baklava.
I would definitely recommend The Mediterranean.

Ate at Mediterranean last weekend because I wanted a taste of Greece (where I was this summer). The special seafood bisque was very yummy, and my wife’s salmon special was cooked just right–not overdone like so many places. The peaches didn’t do much for it, but is was a nicely conceived dish. I had the kibbie, which was ok. The appetizers were very good. Definitely a place to go back to.

I took my sister who was down visiting from Maine to the Mediterranean this spring. Since her teenage son was over in Greece on a school trip it seemed a fitting choice to have lunch. We sat upstairs and had a window view of Market Street. Our waiter was very friendly. My sister had the Lamb kabob Pita while I had the Falafel. We both ordered iced tea to go with our dishes. The food was excellent. Since than my boyfriend and I have ordered the Hummus, Maza Platter, Shrimp Pita and Veggie Pita. It has become one of our favorite places for take out this summer- nothing better than enjoying some good food outside on the back patio. Food is excellent- recommended. We are headed over tonight for more takeout!

Other than a crappy waitress, because she had to take a table so late (sorry, my teehting, infant daughter made it difficult to leave the house)…the food was fantastic. Hopefully this waitress can improve her attitude to compliment the excellent menu.

Great greek salads. Yummy falafel. Nice wait staff. Small and a bit tight, but very cozy too.

If you’re in the mood for a BYOB and something a bit different, you may want to check this place out.

Review Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
