MEDITERRANEAN GRILL

I could have avoided this negative review had I simply read all the others before giving them my money. To be clear this is the location at the New Jersey airport. I didn't think the attitudes could get worse than the TSA lady who tried to rip the button snap on my neck pillow but I was wrong. After getting through security my wife and I decided to grab a quick bite. After seeing The Mediterranean Grill, we thought it would do the trick. Not so fast, from the start the heavy-set gypsy looking lady was extremely rude as she appeared to frown while asking what we wanted. After my wife asked for a chicken bowl the lady began throwing (latterly heaving), large spoons of rice. Then she picked up a large piece of chicken and began to put it inside the bowl, my wife asked her if she could cut it or just let her have smaller pieces. Instead of say something one would expect to hear from a service provide such as yes, no, or I’m sorry we can not do that. She said you will get a plastic knife. I was more upset with myself because we should have simply walked away leaving her with the terrible tasting food. It was dry, the meat was burned and it was not worth starting a flight and ruining the mood due to the miserable look on her face.

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.

The staff were not nice to talk too. They looked like they did not want to be there. When I asked for them to put chick peas on my order they just ignored me and asked me to pay. I ordered the lamb/beef basket. The meat was very oily and burnt. The rice was bland and undercooked. The pita bread look very poor quality. It looked like a mess in the tray they used for my order. Please save your money. DO NOT!!!! order food from here.

Please do yourself a favor and save your $25 on a meal here. The gyro was dry, bland, flavorless, and their orzo comes in a packaged bag. Please do not even try coming here. Service was the worst and charges you $3 extra for a few pieces of olives.

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 made the mistake of trying this even after I saw the reviews (I know…) I didn’t want to eat any of the other food. The food was a disgrace to Mediterranean food. Shame on all the employees and management. This place should be closed. It was so bad, that I was compelled to come and right this review as soon as I got home. Unbelievable!!!!!

I should have read the reviews before I ate here, my pita was like cardboard, my meat was overcooked, and the whole meal was overpriced. The staff was very rude as well. Save your self 20 bucks and find somewhere else to eat!

Only one worker doing everything while the i can only assume is the manager at the register doesn't help and just stands there. Creates a long line. And The amount of food is small with the price you'll pay.

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.

Made breakfast cheese sandwich with fresh eggs. Decent airport food at EWR, terminal A.

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