I am disappointed to say that this restaurant is closed. I am grateful for all the delicious meals I enjoyed there.

This restaurant is the perfect spot for delicious Mediterranean food with quick service, located south of Downtown. They offer a variety of options such as pitas, salads, wraps, and appetizers on their menu. I typically...

Despite living down the street from Mediterranean Blue, I had no idea it was there. I found it here on Happy Cow, went for lunch, and just got back from dinner. I was clearly impressed with this little Greek deli. Not only was the food great and reasonably priced, Gail one of the owners was so incredibly friendly--and excited about my veganism--that I felt like I was eating in her home. Lunch consisted of a pick-three-plus-pita deli case special for $5.50. I selected the hummus, falafel, and a collard/bean salad. Intrigued by the idea of Greek seasoned fries, I added a small order. I got out there for $7.50, which, for the amount of food, is a deal. Everything on the plate went well together: I was literally taking a piece of pita, plopping on some collards, a piece of falafel, a french fry or two, and pinching it together like a little sandwich. Gail also gave me a sample of her balsamic beets homemade balsamic dressing! and they were delectable. Dinner was the Mom 's Grilled Veggie sandwich: Grilled eggplant, zucchini, and onions served on a warm pita with a generous helping of the homemade marinara sauce. $6.50 For an additional, 99 cents I added a side of the fries and I never eat french fries, let alone twice in one day. I had just finished a 5 mile run; the sandwich was bursting with flavor and--paired with the fries--was just what I needed to reinvigorate myself. The atmosphere: Counter service with food-runners. Laid back, surprisingly spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. I 'm not really big on the ambience factor but I enjoyed the music they were playing and the clean, cozy, well-decorated tables. Also, they have bottles of sriracha on hand. Which every restaurant needs to catch on to. The staff: As I mentioned, Gail couldn 't have been more friendly and accommodating. She joked that I 'd be back, I could tell by her face that she hadn 't expected me to show up so soon. I 'm a really relaxed client, I don 't expect much from my wait staff and I 'd rather just be left alone with my food. All the same, it goes a long way with me when a restaurant owner treats you like a friend. I don 't like any of the restaurants near my house in the SoDo area except for Chai Thai--which, while very good, is also fairly expensive. I 'm glad to have quick, affordable food with an expansive vegan menu so close by.

Great local gyro spot! Delicious food. Good prices. Get Feta-Fries!
