I like that they give big servings here.
This restaurant has been a long time favorite of mine!! The staff were really friendly and the service was fast! Definitely a plus that this restaurant is vegetarian-friendly so there were food for everyone, great restaurant to bring family!!
I may be biased since Mediterranean food is my favorite but everything we had was so good! We tried their hummus, shish taouk, grilled beef, and plain lassi and had white wine. The Zomato Gold perk on drinks doesn’t apply to the sodas and bottomless iced tea but it was still a good deal.
This was hands-down one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The friendliest, most motivated staff and kitchen serving the most delicious and #FeedGoals worthy Mediterranean food, what more can you ask for? I've been here thrice this month and they've been consistent with their service every time. Thank you!
Yummy mediterranean dishes like gyros and mussaka. But my main highlight today would be their chicken kebab pizza.
By the looks of it, it’s already mouthwatering!
The food Taste And Service was really Good, Had been few Mediterranean Places here,but found this quite good.I would really like to go there next .The portions are also good
Cafe Medi is my holy grail, go-to order on FoodPanda. Even though the food takes about an hour to get to me, I can always count on the food being amazing (albeit needing a minute in the microwave). I usually order the beef and lamb gyro plates with either pita or biryani (which is ALWAYS excellent—I’ve ordered these two things about 10x now and you can count on them to always be damn good) but tonight I decided to try the shish taouk that many people have raved about here on Zomato. Unsure as to whether I should get it with basmati or biryani, I called the restaurant and was accommodated by the lovely Peter, who was so very helpful and who answered all of my questions patiently and jovially. I highly recommend this restaurant and this branch. Yes it’s pricey for weeknight dinners, but you’re getting good value for your money based on the taste, the quality of the food, and the size of the servings. I’d give 10 stars if I could!

I go here for 'feel good food'. I love their Doner!Meat's tender and full of flavor. Generous serving, big enough to satisfy my hunger.
The server was very accomodating during our visit.
Love their beef kebab! 1 order comes already with 2 pita breads. The light couscous gave a very good balance to the flavorful sauces and sour cream. Will definitely be back!
Love this place. Food has always been consistently good. Staff and service are excellent. My favorite is the seven layer dip and shishtaouk.
After the XO fiasco, we moved to Cafe Mediterranean. We go the prosciutto pasta, moussaka, beef gyro and greek pasta. The pasta is the clear winner and the loser, the moussaka.
I love eating in Cafe Med! I usually would order Tuna Gyro Plate, but this time around I wanted something different. Even though I am a pescatarian, I’m still finicky with the type of fish I eat. I was so happy to learn that their fish kebab was cod fish. A very tasty dish, glad I tried something different! I’ll be back for more!
The staff are nice, while the food comes in big servings. They don't skimp on the sauces either, which is a huge plus considering they have very tasty sauces. Their biryani rice is something else altogether. It pairs so well with the meats.
A regular here in this restaurant. Love the food and the service is at top excellence. Even with the restaurant full on the weekends, they manage to take the order well and service you when you need them.
If you like Mediterranean food, they wont dissapoint
Good food and nice ambiance. Serving size is very generous. Prompt service and the waiters give good recommendations. I'd definitely go back for more doners!

Ambience: We like this branch more than the one in Power Plant Mall, it’s prettier, more spacious (open), seems cleaner too. I guess because it’s a relatively newer branch. Nice place to chill, hang with girlfriends and chat, have family meals, even hold simple meetings.
Servers: They were friendly and pleasant.
Parking: It usually doesn’t get full in Estancia.
Promotion & Food: Used the Zomato Gold 1+1 on Food deal and the transaction was processed smoothly. We got 2 Doner Kebabs (served with fries), Lamb and Beef, for merienda and only paid for one (the higher priced one). Please note that pizzas and platters are excluded from the promo. The meats were tender and the fries were hot & fresh. The sauces made it even tastier. My friend and I loved both the sauces (in squeeze bottles available per table): the white garlic sauce and the chili (warning it’s really spicy!).
food is seriously delicious!!! as always... late lunch 🤣🤤😱... ordered marinated olives with wheat pita bread, gyro platters with beef, tuna, falafel, chicken with grilled vegetables; tzatziki & shepherds salad... of course moroccan mint tea...
gilbert was the restaurant’s lone waitstaff... but very efficient... maybe more will arrive for the dinner service... lunch was simple but tasty... will be back to try the mango lassi... 🤙🏼🤟🏼

One of my most favorite middle eastern restaurants. Their food quality never declined after years of eating here. The beef, chicken and lamb is always juicy and tender and bursting with flavor. Their pita bread is always freshly made upon order and their hummus with grilled onions and mushrooms as well as their black olive dip will leave you coming back for more. Price is a bit high but definitely worth it. Absolutely amazing! Try their Shish Taouk plate, you will not regret it.
Ordered their Falafel with Pita and Vegan Pizza. Since I had a new set of braces, everything was a struggle to consume, however I still liked both dishes and was very full by the end of our meal.
Loved that their menu specifies if a dish is vegan or not; waiter were courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive- our water was always full.
Would def want to come back here and satisfactorily taste the other dishes!

My wife had a craving for hummus so we went to this restaurant. Before we went in we asked the server, who was very helpful, on the kind of dishes we hoped to have. He described everything in detail and assured us we would enjoy them.
So, naturally, my wife asked for the hummus plate with chicken and I had the kebab plate also with chicken and opted for buttered rice instead of pita bread. Cynthia thoroughly enjoyed the hummus and said it perfectly satisfied her craving. My chicken kebab, on the other hand, although tender, had a slight sourness to it. Despite that I still finished it off.
We still had room for dessert, so we shared a very delicious baklava.
Service was very good and the ambiance was just right.
I just came back from Palawan and headed to Estancia mall to take a quick lunch date with my bff. We chose to eat mediterranean food since we love meat. We don’t know what to get so we just ordered Kebab Platter which basically everything in one plate. 😁 Very satisfied on how the meat and fish was cooked. Pita bread is legit also. Price maybe a bit pricey but worth the money.
We ate here after looking for a unit in the High Luxuy condo in Capitol Commons. My Uncle’s roots were from Kuwait and wanted something similar to their cuisine. He ordered the appetizer with kinds of vegetables and then capped off with pita bread, he then ordered lamb with rice and chicken with rice. The flavors were amazing! He said it was one of the best meals he had in the Philippines. We ate here for two consecutive days. So I think that says something about the food. I will definitely be back. Sorry wasn’t able to take pictures as we were all famished!
This cafe still one of the place where you can enjoy eating food, especially if you’re looking for something new to try.
We ordered the following:
GREEK SALAD – Country salad of juicy tomatoes, crispy cucumbers, sliced onions, green bell peppers, crumbled feta cheese, and plump Kalamata olives. It’s new to my taste, but the different olives in it gives a powerful taste of the entire salad.
KEBAB PLATTERS – A mix of chicken, Beef, Kofta and fish kebabs. I believed the appropriate that I’m looking for is bland, but you’ll feel the taste of kebab on every bite as they are very tasty. I didn’t enjoy the lamb because there’s after taste after which I don’t like it.
Overall, their staff are courteous, easy to approach because we’re the only group eating that time, efficient.
The Cafe Mediterranean was a dream come true for 2 siblings who shared the same passion for cooking. The wide array of Mediterranean dishes gave them an opportunity to play around their menu offerings - from appetizers, soups & salads, sandwiches, pastas, gyros and kebabs.
An "A" rating is well-deserved for their flavorful kebabs. Garlic and hot sauces are just within your reach should you want your meal to be extra saucy.
BTW, I wouldn't recommend this place if you are in a hurry or "hangry" as their food preparation takes some time to complete. Advantage is the assurance that your food is freshly cooked and not fast-food style.

Greek-ish Sunday Lunch!
We're lucky to be seated as we entered. The place is almost full by lunch time. Servers are courteous and attentive.
We had :
😋 Sampler Platter 3, served with hummus egglplant salad, fafel and 2 Regular pita breads. Quite small for 4 pax. Enjoyed dipping and its so good!
😋Greek Salad- a personal fave! Served with tomatoes, cucumbers, sliced onions, green bell peppers, and crumbled feta cheese. I can eat this everyday!
😋Kebab Platter with Basmati rice- a mix of Chicken, Beef, Fish, Tenderloin and Kofta. With Grilled tomatoes and onions! Couscous, yogurt dip, hummus and eggplant salad. - one word: Superb
Verdict: i love everything! I can can have this everyday. Their unlimited onion sauce and chili sauce are noteworthy!
A family fave! We come by for the food AT LEAST once a week. Love the hummus, grilled veggie gyro, ratatouille, and their vegan pizza!! Staff is awesome and is always attentive and sensitive to your needs.
Cafe med is the first (iirc) to introduce this truly special cuisine to the philippine market. I am glad they have lasted the vigourous challenges of this industry and have plenty of branches around the metro. We had a late meeting and ended up at estancia for lunch. I was trying to look for a quick place to get a meal but not fastfood and cafe med was chosen by the group. The lamb was wonderful as well as the falafel. I ate too much as the lamb platter was one big serving!
HELLO! Its been awhile...
Yeah yeah!!! I LOOOOOVE MEDITERRANEAN CAFE���
Love the HEALTHY SIDE of it and the Greeky Taste���
So rich in Flavors�����
Love the Service too!�
Spent Father's day 2017 and Mother's day 2018 here. Delicious mediterranean dishes. Rich flavors. Big servings. Our waiter knew what to recommend. And most importantly, my husband and my dad were happy.
None of us was craving for anything so we ended up with this restaurant in Estancia Mall. It was my first time to try this restaurant. I had a hard time choosing what to eat being not too familiar with greek cuisine.
I ordered under Pasta which has salmon and asparagus on lunguini. For me, it quite lack in taste or maybe it is just how they usually make it.
I tried the moussaka order of my friend and it was good. Though she would have wanted the vegetarian version but was not available at the time.
Might try someday their other food in the menu.

I'm not going to be able to give justice on my food shots as we had our meals to-go. We had a little party at home and got our food from Cafe Mediterranean. Having a sister who is a chef and full fledged vegetarian (in other words, really picky eater), this is the restaurant of choice. We ordered by phone at their Estancia branch, and picked up our stuff 30 minutes after the call. We had Margherita Pizza, Eggplant Parmigiana, Pita, Hummus, Falafel, Gyros, Moussaka, Lentil Burger etc. It was a very filling dinner and boy, did everyone enjoy it. I love their falafel, and it was one satisfying meal. It had this crunchy exterior while wrapped inside a pita bread. I added some Hummus and garlic sauce like a spread... yeah, some of you might find me weird but different strokes for different folks. I slathered some garlic sauce on my margherita pizza too (another point for weirdness) which I enjoyed very much. Then I also ate a little eggplant Parmigiana which was really good. The baked cheese on top provided enough saltiness to contrast the slightly sweet aubergine. It's also the first time I tried the Lentil burger. I could go vegetarian easily if the food was this good. Our bill totaled around 4k, a dinner for 6 people. This is pretty much around 650 per head but I think we had more than enough.
Greek cuisine at its best. My favorite resto for everything greek from their fresh ingredients and big servings. A little pricey but worth it. We had my all time fave the grilled beef kebab with basmati, and hummus with pita bread. Service was great and the place was neat. 😘
An awesome place to treat your fam
The cozy mediterranean rustic interior sets you the vibe of what you're about to get, and it didn't disappoint us. The food is as great as their service. We had Falafel, 7 layer dip, Shish Taouk, Moussaka (which I enjoyed the most), Kebab platter, and a couple of lassi. The staff are very accomodating, and we never had our glass empty! A fair and reasonable price for an amazing meal.
My best mediterranean resto yet!
It’s on my list of go to restaurants after many years. I normally go for Chicken Kebab plate with extra Tabbouleh plus lots of garlic and hot sauce. Since I enjoyed going here. I’ve gone through their menu and ordered almost all of it. I also recommended going for the Appetizer Sampler. You can pick up to 5 kinds. Must get Kofta and Hummus in the mix. Super worth it.
Update: I've come again quite a few times to the branch and I'm really impressed. Regardless of the time of day or how packed the place is, the food and service has always been great. Updating my rating from 4.5 to 5 stars.
--------------------------------
Amazing service. Our glasses of water were always being refilled. Our orders came fast. The bill too, when we asked for it. The food was really good. We had the hummus, moussaka, and lamb doner kebab.

For today had the Vegetable Moussaka. Not much imagination in this dish though. Same vegetables are in there. Flavor is mostly on the cheese too. My friends had a good one with the Lentil soup and Gyro plate.
When wondering which place for Mediterranean. It's here. They have a Syrian special menu too!
We eat here regularly. The staff is great and very attentive. Our standard starters include the humus, tapenade, marinated olives, falafel, moutaball, and mom's #1 fave, labneh. All great pita matches.
The pistou soup is a meal in itself good for sharing. I always order the shish tauok (sp?), the chicken tender and moist, and get Mediterranean rice pilaf or couscous instead of the pita - you can choose your two sidings too if you request it. If not it is served with tabouleh (sp?), a parsley based salad and the eggplant thingy which I don't like personally.
Also, Their beef is tender and tasty and again good with basmati or med rice instead of pita. You can also order from all the neighboring restaurants and they will serve it there. On our table, you'll usually see sashimi and ebi tempura from Jipan, salabat from Xo, gelato from caramia, and sizzling items from pepper.

It's the nth time of the day when KP and I don't know where to eat. I wanted to try CoCo Ichibanya but he is not a fan of curry. So, we decided to eat something light and also near the our place.
Aaaaaand we found ourselves here are The Cafe Mediterranean at Estancia Mall. We thought the mall was about to close cause there was a few people in the mall and no people in the resto.
It was an open restaurant, it looks nice very welcoming. There were a lot of tile displays on the walls and on the floor.
The service was good. Although it took us a few follow-up on our food.
We wanted to eat something light, but it didn't end up like what we planed.
For appetizer we had the 7 layers dip which consists of : Hummus, Sun dried Tomatoes, Grilled Red Bellpeppers, Tapenade, Egg, and Feta Cheese, served with fried Pita Chips. I liked the dip, all the flavors are well balanced I love the creamy taste that the cheese gives.. makes it really soft and fun to eat. But the chips was to hard to eat.. I find it difficult to chew. I wish the just baked it or toasted it a bit so that the chips will still be soft and chewy.
For mains we had the Shish Taouk a traditional Turkish Shish Kebab. I liked this one but its a little spicy for me, the chicken was juicy and tender and I also liked the rice that came along with it. We also had a Moussaka its a Greek dish of layered Eggplant, Ground Beef and Bechamel Sauce served with Pita Bread. This was my favorite out of all the dishes we ordered. It tastes like a lasagna but a healthy lasagna! Super yummy! Will order this when we eat here again!
😊
Not the best mediterranean restaurant I've been to but it works coz it's just less than a 10-minute walk away from home. Everyone else ordered kebabs when we went but I ordered the falafel. Let's just say that I wish I ordered meat instead. Coz the kebabs were good (I tried some of my friend's). Not that it tasted bad, I probably just didn't have the appetite for it that day.
One of those comfort food restaurants.
Sauce: 5/5
I am not sure what an authentic kebab really tastes like. But I think the one thing I love about this resto is their... SAUCE. ?
Food: 3/5
I usually order the chicken kebab with buttered rice and split it into two. The photo below is actually the dish split into two and theres a picture of the 'tabouleh' (not sure of the spelling/ if i heard it correctly). When I usually eat on their other branches, this side dish in included, but not on this branch. This side dish tastes more sour than it usually does.
*the dish usually includes yogurt, tomato and onion, the 'tabouleh' as the side dishes. Since we split it into two, we replaced the yogurt with tomato and onion.
Service: 2.5/5
Just right. They refill your glass when its almost empty but they don't seem enthusiastic and lively to do so, Its like just doing it just because they need to.
Ambaince: 5/5
Still new and clean.
Went to this new branch Monday evening. Since we were quite hungry we decided to go for the mains right away.
First off, we had the mango Lassi - which is mango mixed with liquified yogurt. Great tasting drink!
We had the shish taouk and the grilled beef kebabs. We got buttered rice instead of pita. Shish taouk came with a side of foulle (made of red kidney beans) and the beef kebabs came with a side of tzatziki. Both dishes were yummy, the shish taouk (marinated chicken kebab) tasting better than the beef. The chicken was really soft and well marinated: the foulle was a tasty accompaniment. The beef was marinated with a minty sauce and mixed well with the tzatziki (cucumber and yogurt dip).
We ended with a dessert of tartufo chocolate: it comes frozen. Loved the intense taste of rich chocolate.
Great meal!
Their detailed walls of exotic tiles carved into perfection of navy blue and primary colors will catch you in awe and then as you breathe in the air, you know it's the Mediterranean Dream. Try the 7-LAYER DIP with toasted pita! Its traces of garlic and cheese and tomatoes are just meant to coexist. Then order SHISH TAOUK and roll over your marinated chicken with side dish and yogurt sauce that transports you right into the Middle East Desert! My kind of resto, true to life interior design, true to taste cultural food ?
