New ownership since we've last tried them. Not the same. The food was fine but definitely felt like a different style or region in their cooking techniques. Service was nice and they were attentive and kind.

This was my first time trying Mediterranean food and I was pleasantly surprised by how great the service was, how beautiful the interior of the restaurant is, and the quality of the food. I ordered a plate of Doner and a ground beef pide. Both were delicious. The dough was baked to the perfect amount of crisp and portion was huge. I would definitely visit this place again with some friends and try out other things on the menu!

Mediterranean Breeze is a wonderful restaurant that serves Turkish style cuisine. The food and portions are excellent, served by friendly and professional staff. If you like hummus and shish kebob, this place is definitely for you. Great atmosphere, too!

Drove into this Turkish grill wanting to have a Mediterranean experience. it's been a while since I had Mediterranean food. My husband and I walked in and sat down. Menus were handed to us and as we sat and waited , I noticed that there was only 4 tables occupied including us in total and all 3 other tables occupied were single individuals but table behind us , was a company of 4 pax. Coincidentally they were all Mediterranean origin except me and mine who are not. Have been around the world and dine alot, so I know when energy is wrong In a place. We waited patiently for more than 15 minutes and I realized we were being ignored. The waiters, a tall gentleman who doubled as a cashier and an actual waitress constantly walked past us as they checked and served the other 2 tables but intentionally ignored us.I beckoned the tall guy so I could get my order in for take away as I made a decision not to dine in anymore, but he ignored me. So I watched him walk to the back of the kitchen which is quite visible due to the openings on the partioned wall and he said something to waitress who rolled her eyes as she took a peek at us. They then laughed at whatever it is they found funny. At this point I made a decision that I will not be spending my money here and asked my husband that we leave. We got up to leave and that's when he grabbed a notepad and pen and started to walk towards us. I completely ignored this and as I grabbed the door, I caught him throwing glances at the female waiter who gave us a rude look as they both rudely threw their hands our way and rolled their eyes again.Am very disappointed that an establishment in this day and era, could behave that way towards money spending individuals. It was very disrespectful and racial if you ask me .Anyone dining out deserves the same amount of respect regardless of your ethnicity! period. So Shame on the MB Turkish grill staff that were present today. ****Remember without customers, your business would not survive!! ** management needs to style up and up their customer service game and raise standards. This was was unacceptable.

Great food. I don't like french fries served with Turkish food. French fries make it junk food. Main reason I go to Middle Eastern food is it is more carnivore, but they add rice and fries to make it cheap.

Looked at the reviews and wondered if we went to the same place as the ones who gave them five stars. Have been driving past this place for months and finally decided to give it a try. Went at lunch time and when we got there only one other party was seated. Large menu, very extensive and a wide variety items. Some of them you can have made into a wrap which is what we chose to do for lunch.Both of us purchased the chicken doner wrap. It came with a side of fries which were obviously out of a package. The best part of the sandwich was the tzatziki sauce that came for the wrap but only a small portion and we both could have used more. No one ever came to ask if everything was ok so we couldn't ask for any more.Only one other party came in as we were there, not sure we'll bother to go back, there are other places to try.

The waiters are so nice and helpful, I have been to Istanbul multiple times in this food brings me right back to turkey. The food is delicious and the generosity of the waiters just compliments the food! I recommend anyone looking to try good Turkish food to come to this placeWheelchair accessibility: Ramp

To summaries the 3 visits in the last 2 months is ...Inconsistency!I won't focus much on service, the service is alright, not great, not terrible, just mediocre. However, to me one of the most important factors of any restaurant is Food.1st visit:Ordered the meal for 4 with lentil soup. Everything was good, the lentil soup was delicious. The only thing that wouldn't have recommended was Doner meat that came with the meal for 4. Doner was dry.2nd and 3rd visits:Ordered the meal for 4 with lentil soup, lentil soup was missing a lot of ingredients, also replaced beef Doner with chicken, same dry meat. Also ordered 1 Adana kabob and 1 beef shish, both were not fresh... like it was cooked the day before and then thrown on the grill to warm up. Ordered Caesar's salad, which were soggy lettuce for $12!In short... the point I'm trying to make is that my hope the owner reads this review. The only decent experience we had was the first visit. Please be consistent with what you are serving. Not to mention the prices are not cheap. I'm ok spending $100 for lunch... as long as I am really happy with the food... At this time, I won't be recommending this place to anyone and I won't be back.

Showed up to a pretty empty restaurant around 5:00pm on Mother's Day. We were greeted with "do you have a reservation?" Which we did not. We were told because of Mother's Day it was reservation only and they were full for the day. We were a little confused given there were only 1-2 parties seated but we said ok and went to the car.We looked on here to see how full they were today and to our amazement there were several reservations available between 5:45pm-6:30pm so we booked for 5:45pm. We came back at our reservation time and was greeted by a different guy that asked us if we had a reservation, and we'd were seated by the first gentleman that told us reservations only earlier and he was surprised that we were able to get one. He mentioned that we were the last to get a reservation and they would be closing the online reservations. We were curious as to why he didn't tell us that there were reservations available but that's ok, perhaps they were just short staffed? There was only 1 person waiting tables. Not the best start but we were hopeful as we LOVED the Olympia location when it was still open. Food: I ordered the kofte plate which was mediocre. I thought it came with some kind of veg but it came with hamburger toppings (lettuce and tomatoes) . It also came with some very soggy grease laden fries that tasted like they were fried in old oil that wasn't hot enough. The kofte was tough and salty. Cooked on a flat top and finished on the grill only for the grill marks. The rice was good, well seasoned. Others in the party ordered Greek salads that were missing seasonings (oregano). Other than that it was standard salad, the produce was fresh. Had one order of döner, which was pretty good minus the fries. Had the shakshuka, which was probably the best thing but the pita/ bread it was served with was something you would get from Safeway. Service: appetizer came out with the meal. We were not checked on once during our 45 min meal time. Didn't refill drinks or check in to see how things were. I had to go to the kitchen window to pay my bill. Overall disappointed with the food and the service. The Olympia location was FAR superior to this one. Would not return or recommend.
I thought the food was fine but relatively expensive for how much I got. I ordered the chicken kebab plate as recommended by the staff. There were like 8 fries on the plate for like the meal to cost almost $20 plus tax and tip I would expect some more fries. The chicken had good char flavor, but it was honestly similar to the skewered ones at Costco. I will say the baklava was good. I think in general if the flavor doesn't blow me away at least the pricing should be reflective to the portions. It might be better to go with a group to try more and potentially save more.

Recently had dinner here with family, party of 7, reservations are allowed. We found a parking spot right up front immediately upon arrival, most of our party did as well. The staff were friendly and welcoming. To say they were helpful and accomodating is an understatement. We had two carnivores and a vegetarian there, they not only let us separate parts of the meals, they plated them all for the intended diner. My parents received only meat on their plates as requested. Then they took all the sides that would normally accompany the meats on both their plates and put it all on one plate for my cousin who also ordered an vegetarian appetizer. The Turkish coffee was amazing. Let me speak for a moment about Baklava. A friend gave me some she made herself with her Mom like 10+ years ago and it was in my top 10 food experiences since. I have been chasing that dragon for over a decade and finally got the real thing here. I have found it again in the past but it never lived up UNTIL NOW. This Baklava is perfect, crispy and flaky. It makes a very unique noise when you bite into it. When the waiter brought the first Turkish coffee, my whole family ooh'd and aah'd since this was an exciting and new experience for all of us! The waiter laughed with us and even made the sound again when he brought more! Lol It was a beautiful and pleasurable visit with incredibly delicious food, the menu is exciting and they even mentioned that vegan dumplings were coming to the menu soon. There were very cute children running around but they weren't loud or rude, our family was seated where we had privacy and we could hear each other the whole meal. I highly recommend eating here, especially with family!

Food was dry nothing had any seasoning, the rice had the most seasoning out of anything I got, will never be coming here again, i don’t see how they keep business if the quality of there food is this, I could have went to a mall Mediterranean food place and got better quality, if I could give it a zero I would

Loved my time at MB. Everything about it was amazing. My husband was craving Turkish cuisine and MB delivered on that promise. We were visiting family in Kent and this place was 5 mins away so it was meant to be. I am so glad we came in. We oredered lentil soup, falafels, hummus, ezme feta fries and plain rice for our picky eater. Well first off, everything that we ate was home made and they tasted so fresh. I am dreaming of that lentil soup because it was to die for. The ezme plate was incredible as well. Just dip your pita and you dont need anything else. I was pleasantly surprised at how great everything was. Also for being authetic food, their prices dont break the bank. I gotta give major props to our server. He was so attentive and accommodating to my childs coloring needs. That right there gets 5 starts on his own. I wish I was in the area because I would go there often. If you do live in th vicinity however, you must try them
