Corvallis Mediterranean Cafe

Awful «platters». Horribly overpriced. The food is scarce and tastes reheated/​packaged. NEVER going back. I challenge any foodie to eat here and post otherwise. Prediction: Before 2016 ends this place will be out of business.

Such awesome people running this cute little place. My husband and I tried their falafel and baklava tonight and we were so happy we did! Delicious and fresh, served with kindness and a smile. Will be going back! If you love Mediterranean food give this place a try!

The most pure hearted people, beautiful, And delicious healthy food. they customised a meal for me. I’m in love

I found this place by accident — or to avoid one — I pulled over to use a cell phone and decided to go in. The campy neon and flashing lights lured me in. What can I say? Shiny is favorite color. Now it’s my first choice for lunch/​dinner in downtown Corvallis.
Having had lived in many places and traveled quite a bit, I can say good and authentic Mediterranean food can be hard to find, especially in the Pacific Northwest. I certainly didn’t expect to find it in Corvallis!
I had the vegetarian platter, my husband had the chicken shawerma. Everything was fresh tasting and delicious. The pita and bread was very good. I didn’t get a chance to take a bite of my husband’s food (probably a good indicator of how good it was) but mine was very good. Each side dish had its own flavor, all tasty in their own right. It was a lot of food, but wasn’t heavy and didn’t leave me with that rock-​in-​the-​stomach feel I’ve had after some more oily Mediterranean food. I left comfortably full and happy.
The setting is very informal and the staff are welcoming. There’s a small grocery selection and if you don’t see what you’re looking for they will either order it and/​or find somewhere that does carry it. The décor is different than you’ll see at most restaurants, and gives the place the casual ambiance of visiting a friend. It was comfortable for me, but if you’re used to classic sit-​down restaurant décor it might be different for you. Give it a shot though, it’s worth the trip.

Food it amazing! The prices are great. The guy working, took really good care of us. We are definitely returning customers.

Tasty food, fun ambiance, and friendly owners make this a great place to go. The gyros is excellent. I’m looking forward to trying some of their other dishes.

Yuck! Would avoid; the food we had was slimy and tasted off. Have eaten my share of Mediterranean food; this food is of poor quality and fairly pricey. I’m not sure that the cook knows what he’s doing.

Great gyros, friendly excellent service and totally reasonable prices. I love this place.

Authentic food and the owner was very welcome and genuine! They also have a nice selection of Mediterranean groceries for home cooking.

I agree with the previous reviews, the owner seemed very nice.
I ordered a meat platter which had 3 kinds of meat, with rice and some salad greens. The meat was pretty good but I wished there was more. The veggies were great but the rice was a little dry. Still, it was reasonably priced. I think I just ordered the wrong thing — I would definitely like to try a gyro from this place.

This place is killer. The food is delicious and they will make lots of vegan options. The staff goes above and beyond for you and the atmosphere is like nothing else in town!!! Not for the traditional kinda person, it’s got a perfect unique kind of charm.

This is a must-​do location in Corvallis. There are very few restaurants in town that offer a unique experience, and this is definitely one of them. The service is fantastic (makes you feel like family kinda joint) and the food is both delicious and surprisingly authentic for Corvallis. My wife and I had an excellent experience and will most definitely return!

Very strange place. The guys who sit/​stand outside like they are guarding the place is weird and uncomfortable.

For a fast food type restaurant, it was very slow. Rice was horrible and extremely dry. I bought a large falafel wrap. Not much in the wrap. Falafel had decent flavor. But the tiny bit of lettuce in it was wilted. Waste of time and money.

The lamb and chicken Shawarma are amazing. The owner is very friendly and great service. The first time we went we really didn’t know what to try so he made a dinner platter with 3 different meats and falafel, served over rice, and with a little salad. He also let us try the Baba ghanoosh before we bought some and now I’m hooked. I do prefer the chicken shawarma. The baklava is amazing. I take some home to have the next day. My new favorite place.

Great lamb shawarma! Ask for it Damascus style. The owner was a big help ordering and it’s very clearly authentic Mediterranean food. Recommend this spot for lunch if you’re in Corvallis.

For the price the food was excellent! I stopped in to buy a treat (baklava) and ended up with so many free samples I was able to save my treat for later. He also gave me a coupon to return at a later date buy one get one. He did not dissapoint. We went for dinner last night. The gyros were great and he included free rice. My girlfriend purchased a few items from his market that he has in the store and she says that food was good too. The owner is super friendly and generous and the food is quite good. We will make this a regular stop!

The owner is very friendly and hooked me up with a bunch of deals on my first visit. Falafel gyro and desserts were very good. Will be back again

My dad and I ate here for lunch today. My dad said that his chicken Shawarma was good and my gyro was very good. The owner is very friendly. Since this was our first visit, he gave us large ones for the price of mediums. He also gave us the rice for free. That was very good with some spices. He also gave us a piece of Halvah for dessert. We were each given a ticket entitling us to special deals on future visits. I know that I will be back for the breakfast of an egg and Greek sausage wrap andMediterranean Café.

The falafel & the chicken shawarma were superb & the prices were excellent! We will definitely return many times! The proprietor was most helpful & generous too!
