Lemon Tree Mediterranean Grill Reviews | Chesterton Restaurants & Bars

I love to cook. If I won the lottery that"s what I would do. You don't have to win the lottery though to eat like you have. This is the best restaurant in the area by far. The food is healthy and delicious. I am looking for reasons to go to Chesterton to visit my new friends at Lemon Tree!

Try a bowl with chicken or beef or a wrap
top your bowl with a variety of choices, i like Kalamatta olives and feta
the lentil soup is great

A big fan of Mediterranean food, I was excited to see Lemon Tree open up in my hometown. In the few weeks it's been opened, I've been delighted to go there perhaps ten times for my favorite, the moist falafel that's bursting with flavor. For a quick meal, I've just gotten the falafel by itself with a side of hummus; but for a more filling meal, the falafel wrap is a filling meal at a reasonable price.

The prices of the items I've enjoyed are much more reasonable than the places where Â I've had falafel at in Michigan City and Valparaiso, making it easy to want to go back time and time again. Their hummus is particularly memorable and they make their own chips, which are light and crunchy without being greasy. I wish I could make ice tea like they do...it's a special flavor I haven't experienced before..a real treat for the taste buds.

This is the third restaurant that has been housed in the storefront since Subway moved to a larger facility, and it's by far the best. Lemon Tree, owned by the same people who own Third Coast Spice Cafe, is a real blessing to the community and it deserves the patronage of everyone who wants something different from the typical chain restaurant fare that inhabits much of Indian Boundary, just off Route 49 from I-94.

Bland and tasteless.

Mediterranean food is supposed to be full of flavor - but I had a hard time choking down dry, dry falafel and plain white rice. Â Overpriced for the amount of food that you get. Â This is the third restaurant incarnation in the same building in two years, and it is the worst. Â I will not go back.

First meal at this restaurant... delicious!

Quick and healthy with vegetarian and vegan options, too. The previous reviewer was correct in stating that it's set up a lot like Chipotle in that you choose your type of meal and then move on down the line to choose your topping/side options. The service was good and the food was even better... I chose a falafel bowl with a side of cabbage salad and lentil soup. The falafel was so good (and I'm kind of picky about it)--golden crispy on the outside and moist and perfectly seasoned on the inside. Cabbage salad was tasty but I probably won't get the lentil soup again--the flavor was good but I didn't care for the blended texture of it, just my personal preference. Can't wait to try the chicken shwarma (set up on a spit right there) next time! I live about 15- 20 minutes away but will be making an effort in the future to eat here.

Cost of a decent sized bowl of falafel with tahini sauce and toppings, seasoned rice, pita bread, side of purple cabbage salad and cup of lentil soup was just over $10. Pita sandwiches run around $7 - $8. Very filling and light, fresh but fast. Tons of different options and combinations available, from seasoned steak to grilled veg, tahini to spicy yogurt sauce.
