| - We decided to have dinner here before our Gammage play and we really enjoyed it! The restaurant was empty of customers when we arrived which made us hesitate for a second....but the owner came out and greeted us like old friends so we went for it, and are so glad we did.
We started with the hummus and it was very good...I personally like mine without the heavy Tahini influence, but my teens loved it. It was creamy, fresh and the two accent olives were all mine! The pita was warm, too.
We each decided to get a different entrée so we could share a few bites of each....so we had the mixed grill (the chicken was wonderful, juicy and spiced just right, probably our favorite off all the meats we tried that night), the gyro doner (i.e. dinner) and the lamb. Note: The mixed grill description on their website says it is chicken, beef and and Adana, when in fact the in-restaurant menu leaves off the beef....a bit disappointed in that. They were all delicious and fresh, though like I said above, my daughter's chicken was the highlight. My lamb was soft and cooked to perfection, but I was a bit disappointed in the very tiny pieces after looking at their menu photos. I'd say they were about 1/2 that size (the photo shows the pieces laid side by side from edge to edge of the plate...reality they were tiny little bite size pieces that had plenty of space in between, no need to cut as they were already tiny bite sized)....and for the price ($17.95) it was just too little meat. But it was delicious as was the rice. Each dinner came with another serving of hummus which was nice. The salad was rather plain...iceberg lettuce some good tomatoes and a drizzle of a nice spicy dressing. Tasty, but I was expecting a little feta and olives.
Dessert: the baklava was flaky and soft (something hard to find around here as most baklava is dry and crunchy)....and loaded with pistachio and honey. I'm drawing a blank suddenly on the name of the other dessert, but it's flan-like, but has a rather strong coffee taste to it.
This was a very nice dinner, delicious and the staff was very attentive. I certainly hope that they have more business at lunch, because we were nearly done with our meal before another customer came in. I imagine that the commercial My Big Fat Greek Restaurant less than 1/2 block away grabs people's attention more than this small but wonderful place does. Having eaten several times at MBFGR, I 150% prefer MedFresh Grill.
As we walked back to Gammage for our play we glanced into many other restaurants......considering that it was a little after 6pm, it was a bit surprising how empty most of the restaurants were.....the bars were hopping though.....but this is a college town, I just expected more diners before the theatre, but I guess they ate at home, lol. Sad, because places like MedFresh Grill definitely make a great start to an evening at the theatre.
