As I took my first bite at Al-Reef, I was met with a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate. The Shish Tawook Chicken Kabob Plate was a personal favorite, with perfectly marinated chicken grilled to tender perfection, paired harmoniously with Mediterranean rice and a refreshing Greek salad. The warmth of the pita bread served as the perfect vehicle for the rich hummus and baba ghannoush, both of which were simply exquisite.

The food here is so good. I always get my order to go. My new favorite is the mixed kabob plate. It enough food for 2-3 people. The prices are affordable and the food is tasty.
I always get same plate from Al-Reef. The chicken kabob along with an order of tabouli salad. Delicious food at an incredible value. The plate comes with a generous amount of Mediterranean rice, Greek style salad, hummus, pita bread, half Serrano roasted chili, and half roasted tomato, and of course chicken kabob pieces. This particular plate pairs well with their tabouli salad which is a separate item. I get this 2-3 times a week. One order of tabouli salad which last me for 2-3 separate meals so I only get the tabouli salad whenever I'm out. I seriously can't go a week without cravings kicking in. Highly recommend!
I love this place for take out! It's fast and delicious. Service is great! Very courteous. Although it's one of my fave restaurants in the area it's not really a place to sit down and eat. Still- food is amazing!
The fries are great, garden salad is crisp, and the shawarma chicken plate is pretty tasty. The chicken is cooked well. I liked their fresh baklava too. They were fast and nice. We will be back
Absolute 5 star experience from start to finish, me & my wife usually order the kebab, falafel & pita. I also recommend the sprite because it has a fresh perfect sprite taste. The food is absolutely delicious bursting with Mediterranean flavors. This is the best Mediterranean restaurant in the area with meals that are packed with flavor & filling. Service: I've had 10-15 take out pick ups here & with all of my orders have been ready by the time of arrival. The person handing out the order is always consistent & does not leave the front near take out pick up. Overall a very happy & pleasant experience, I was skeptical at first because the transaction is always very quickly made to a simple but effective way to order, but after a few visit you will understand what good hospitality feels like. I'd like the thank the owner of Al-Reef Mediterranean grill for there hard work, ability to keep this restaurant in such good shape & a role model of what all restaurants should be like!
This is our go-to spot for Mediterranean. We've never eaten there, we always do take away. There are tables to eat there and even 1-2 tables outside if you want. Usually we have the chicken sharwma and beef kabob. I love the dolmas so we have those too. The food is always fresh, plenty of it and delicious! We tried the whole fish last time too and it did not disappoint. The pita bread and sauces compliment the meals perfectly. The service is always good and the gentleman that is always there is kind and friendly. Love this place!
I'm glad we came here, we like to support local mom and pop businesses. They put every effort to satisfy a client, and they delivered! There is so much to choose from, but we started with two basic plates.... and they were packed with flavor all around. I will definitely be coming back here.
This place is LEGIT. I am in love with their falafels and hummus. The wait takes a few minutes but it is because the food is FRESH. It came out super hot and absolutely crushed all my cravings. The salad was also amazing and salty which I like. Thank you guys. 10/10 will return.
Definitely a go to for the area! Single man owned and ran location that deserves recognition! Open 7 days a week! I couldn't believe it when he told me that! And he makes all of the baked goods! I was so happy to confirm that he was open on Christmas Day! Everywhere else was either closed or overwhelmed with people. He was getting mostly online order so I was able to just slide right in and get something to go! I got the vegetarian platter which had a bunch of the side and some desserts.
