High price but the dude stacked that tray. Food was decent. Meat was a bit on the drier side but they put enough sauce on to make a difference. Got the beef and lamb gyro. Pita was served warm and there was a lot of vegetables on there. The fries were good. Very thick. I’d try it again. A bit messy to eat though.

This is honestly an insult to Mediterranean food. Absolutely terrible food. Inedible, and not worth even trying once. Service is fine and staff were helpful. Atmosphere is a typical airport experience where you have to find your own seating after getting your food.

I had the lamb & beef gyro and orzo pasta salad. It was decent. Service was very, very poor. Employees held loud, vulgar conversations filled with profanity amongst one another while fixing the patrons food. Unfortunately, this tarnished my experience. I would not return.

My God: the tension between the family can be cut through with a knife. I ignored it. Dudes there flipping through the chicken not caring that there’s a customer. It’s Thanksgiving day and it’s dead at the airport .. really no excuse to provide the best customer service possible on the day as slow as today. Anyway, the main reason I want to write this review is to say save yourself from the chicken. It’s the equivalent to taking spoonfuls of salt straight to the mouth. I’m so disappointed that I wasted so much money and was so excited to try something that was inedible. The orzo was the only good part about my platter. Couldn’t even touch the chicken because it tasted like the only seasoning it received was a bath of salt water. Maybe other things taste better ? Idk. Don’t go for the chicken. 😕

Awful and way overpriced! Got the combo platter, they barely gave me any food for $21. Meat was very dry and crunchy. No customer service either, didn’t respond when I said “thank you”. Should have went to shake shack.

Got the chicken gyro with rice. The only flavor this meal had was the chicken. I was going for a healthier option while traveling, but in hindsight would have order from somewhere else. Staff wasn’t very pleasant.

I’m from a Greek descent and that food is not even close to Mediterranean. Not to mention the black girl with glasses working on the counter gave me the nastiest attitude when I asked if can pay cash. I don’t need her attitude and negativity just because I wanted to give her business. If she doesn’t like her job , she can quit. Also Everything is overpriced and I would suggest to the owner to take those multiple sub zero’s reviews and make changes if he wants to stay in business. Customer is always right.

Food quality was pretty good. Chicken was cooked fresh and it tasted delicious. Overpriced but what do you expect from an airport. It's definitely a healthier option than the other stores around it. Servers look pretty worn out...maybe pay them more.

Set up like a Cava/Chipotle but you aren't allowed to make any customizations. The menu is not clear what you can/can't get even though you can see it all in front of you. Despite the confusion - the employees are rude. Go to Jersey Mikes instead.

I had a highly disappointing experience at The Mediterranean Grill in Newark Airport. The food was simply terrible and overly salty. The pita bread was hard, making it nearly inedible. The rice was stale and lacked any freshness or flavor. To top it off, the customer service was rude, adding to an already unpleasant dining experience. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Save your time and money and find a better option elsewhere.

Well it really looked delicious but it's just another overpriced airport restaurant in a beautifuly renovated terminal A at EWR. They actually had the chicken on the spiral cooker so I expected it to be good but it was dry and tasteless. The orzo salad was unbelievably overloaded with garlic and even the pita bread wasn't tasty. Oh well, that's what you get for not eating before getting to the airport. The others in my party wisely chose Shake Shack, which would have been a much better option.

Ok food, huge portions and terrible staff. Pricing should be better posted so you know beets and dolmas are extra pricing. (It's just a minor thing but be transparent.) My chicken shawarma was exceptionally dry. My husband had the beef and said it was excellent.

Just a grab and go place within Terminal A at Newark Airport. Got a Med Bowl (your choice of meat with lettuce or rice) with chicken shawarma and it was OK. Chicken was dry. You get a choice of three toppings but certain toppings cost extra- it would be helpful if on the menu board they list the regular toppings you can choose from and then those that cost more. It's very loud once it gets crowded so it's hard to hear the employees. They are the main reason for two stars. It was like serving the people in line was the absolute worst thing that had happened to them that day. Unless I was desperate I would not go back.

I didn't read the reviews first, and boy should I have. My meat was overcooked and cut in such big chunks, had some impossible to actually consume it in the pita. The rice is OK, but I'm suspicious at the color does not come from saffron

First time ever making a review and it was needed. I came in pretty hungry and the food was okay but the customer service was completely the opposite. The two girls that were up there had a bad attitude, they stop the bussines from making more money when they mentioned "is going to cost you more" for every item u want to add to your bowl. I asked for more sauce because I barely received any and she mentioned that will be an extra 2.50$. In general don't recommend, you already at the airport where everything is priced higher and bad service is a very bad downfall.

Bad service. Too lazy acknowledge my presence and were rude. Kids hanging out behind the counter.

Ii should have read the reviews first. Worst food of my life. $40 and most of the food wound up in the garbage.

The airport ought to have this restaurant closed down, removed, and sanctify the venue prior to replacing it with something else. Holy hell...the worst quality meal I've had in some time. I don't usually leave reviews, but this is a special case. I should have checked through Yelp before ordering. My fault. Save yourself the disappointment, turn away from this unholy venue...go overpay for a decent burger at ShakeShack. Eeeesh, Paul

Extremely rude staff, service so poor that I can't describe in words. I usually refrain from posting negative reviews. Just helping other customers to go mentally prepared. They take advantage of hungry travelers and do business regardless because the food isn't the worst. Very sad!

This place is terrible. The meat was tough with no taste. I didn't even eat it because it was not good at all. If I had tried it before getting on the plane, I would have returned it and got my money back. It was a waste of $21. There's no contact number, otherwise I would call them to let them know and get a refund. The whole meal went in the trash, that's how bad it was and the service was not good either. Do NOT waste your money here!!

Go somewhere else. There are many options at the airport. It's pretty horrible in every respect.

Service is pretty terrible, food even worse. Chicken "shawarma" with way too much of that nasty garlic mayo. Borderline inedible, would not recommend. Just get some nasty fast food and you'll be happier. Sadly still not the worst airport food I've had, but it's pretty close.

Rude workers as well as very incompetent and can't speak proper English I was very saddened by the rudeness and extreme horrid customer service. I don't recommend coming here.

Ran out of rice and pita in middle of dinner hour and left only options being a bowl with lettuce.
