  It's in a non-descript strip mall, but don't let that fool you. The foold is made fresh and excellent. The falafel is amazing. We're from out of town, but the very friendly service made us feel welcome.

  We really enjoy Mediterranean Grill.  Awesome husband/wife operation with spectacular service.  The food is great and they have a big variety with something for just about anyone on the menu.  They also have a very exotic wine selection.

  I dropped by here for lunch and decided to get the lunch special, a Gyro, Fries and Drink for 8 bucks or so.  The strip mall location is pretty dismal, but once you are inside they do a good job of hiding that you are in a strip mall with curtained windows.  The tables all have tablecloths which is a nice touch.  Tables are romantically small, you won't feel like you have to talk loudly with your dining company.  I looked through the menu and was surprised at the variety.  I will definitely be coming back for dinner and being more adventurous next time.
  
  My lunch arrived and I was surprised by the portion size.  I was expecting a gyro that I could pick up, but it was a knife and fork affair.  I had about 2.5 inches high of meat, onion, tomato, and tzatziki sauce on a warm pita.  The tzatziki sauce was quite pleasant.  My meat was pretty salty, but I think that's a common trend for gyro meat it seems.  My fries were pretty disappointing frozen crinkle cuts, they served as a vessel for my ketchup though :)
  
  The service was quite good considering it was only the owner cooking and his wife serving.  Looking forward to trying again and supporting locals.

  Over all good food, best hummus I've had I a long time. Prices are a little  steep, but would go back because the food was good!  By the way the service was good!

  LOVE THIS PLACE!!! My husband and I started going right after it opened. We have never been let down. The hummus is out of this world and the warm pita only makes it that much better. Our service has been top notch - these are the kind of people that remember you from the last visit, know your kids name, and chat with you about family when you come. The tiropita plate is to die for and don't pass up the saganaki for starters. Price is right on track for good greek food and the portions are HUGE. This is a Friday night favorite for our family!!

  I've eaten here several times with family, usually for dinner on a Thursday or Friday night.  I love that it's locally-owned and the owners are often on-site and come by to check on us during the meal.  
  
  We all love the saganaki (or as the kids call it, "cheese on fire!").  The hummus is outstanding, velvety smooth and garlicky.  Sometimes we order extra hummus "to go," and they'll pack a big bowlful for you along with more than enough pita, along with veggies at home it makes a great snack for the next few days.  
  
  The gyros is delicious, and reminds me of the wonderful gyros available from many take-outs in Chicago.  The beef and lamb kabobs have also been tasty, and the eggplant casserole is rich and hearty.  
  
  My only disappointment was the one time I ordered swordfish ... it was clearly a frozen mass-produced steak, much like what you can buy in big bags from Costco or GFS, with no seasoning other than a squeeze of lemon on the side. $18 for a 6oz piece of fish that tastes like cardboard??  No way ... I'll stick with the gyros and eggplant casserole, thanks.  If they offered better seafood entrees, they'd earn 5 stars.

  A good local family run restaurant (which Avon needs more of).
  
  I've had several very good meals here, and particularly enjoy the avgolemono.

  The Mediterranean Grill is a small restaurant tucked away in a typical Midwest strip mall. It combines Greek and Lebanese meals. We had the Maza Plate ($10.95), substituting the Baba Ganooj with Tzatziki (which, in the end, we got both), and the Fatoosh ($6.95). The Fatoosh was cut in very small cubes, including the pita bread, and had too much dressing. Still, it tasted good and fresh. We also liked the humus, but found the tzatziki a bit tasteless. The warm pita bread and Baba Ganooj were both good. The Tabouli was too parsley-dominated for my taste. All in all very decent Mediterranean food, but in a somewhat uncosy setting at at fairly steep prices.
