BEST Mediterranean in the city
Tuesday, January 23, 2007
I am obsessed with La Mediterranee. I have been going here for the past ten years - it's great for family, friends, couples. The food is consistently amazing - I have never had a negative experience. I always order the Middle Eastern Plate: it's a sampler platter with a fresh Aram sandwich, warm filo-and-spinach roll, insanely delicious chicken cilicia (sweet chicken, filo dough, and cinnamon roll), and your choice of soup or salad, and Pomegranate chicken or lamb meatball, both of which are tender and fantastic, never dry. The hummus is also warm and well-seasoned. For dessert, the baklava and datil armada (warm dates wrapped in filo dough next to a heaping pile of whipped cream) are unbeatable but best to split with someone else. They don't accept reservations but I never have to wait more than 15 minutes for a table. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the prices are low for the quality. Go as soon as possible!
Pros: food, service, price, ambience
Cons: impossible parking
