    I buy several specialty items in their market area less expensive than online and have never been disappointed with any of them. I especially love the Marco Polo sour cherry preserves.. I have only eaten there once and the soup was excellent. The staff is also very helpful and nice.

    One of our family favorites - the pita bread is amazing and will spoil you for other pita breads. The hot feta dip, lamb shawarma, and hummus are all delicious. Take out is fast and courteous.

    I go to this restaurant when I come to Lawrence. Been coming for years and never been disappointed. Good food plus a Mediterranean market like you find nowhere else in Kansas. I always get the spinach pie vegetarian combination, love the hummus and pita bread. More varieties of olives than I knew existed. You won't believe how many different varieties of things they have from the middle eastern countries

    Best Mediterranean food in town. Nice place to stop in and get a meal to go. Hummus is great. Also, pick up your goat cheese here, less expensive than the grocery stores.

    This unassuming little gem is tucked into a small strip mall. I spent just as much time looking around the wide selection of Middle and Near Eastern and European goods for sale as I did eating my lunch. I had a great lamb and beef gyro with a small side of hummus and a perfectly sized side salad. The ingredients all tasted fresh, the meat was perfectly seasoned and roasted and the pita was warm and soft. This is a great meal for a good price ($10). Lawrence is lucky to have such an awesome Mediterranean market. They have great prices on nuts, especially in addition to a great selection of cheeses and dry food goods. The staff is very friendly as well. I will definitely be eating here again.

    I've been here a few times to eat and buy groceries (olives & pepperoncini, tabbouleh, tzaziki, pita, green cardamom). The food is good, service is friendly, and the green olives stuffed with garlic are better than whatever else I've bought around town. I think the menu prices are a little steep compared to NY (or, NYC for people who call it that), but this place is the only one around in what I consider a relatively barren culinary desert, so there's that. The brand selection for tahini and other groceries is so much better than any of the more general grocery stores -- to be expected.

    This place is great! Especially for lunch. I've shown it to many of my friends over the years. Love the food and the little store has nice teas and a large selection of olives. It's not much to look at, so I usually do carry out. Best felafel in town! Lots of vegetarian options, too!

    The most authentic middle eastern cuisine. I always go for the lamb swarmah with hot sauce. All their food is a reminder of the cuisine I grew up with and is excellent. Their select market has really good olives and cheeses and some.....Too bad I am back in Dallas but be back first place to eat when visiting in march. That' s a given. Wonderful hospitality.

    The spinach pie tastes better each time I taste it! The humus can be purchased on site or at The Merc or checkers !

    Have never eaten here but have made more meals from products purchased from the market than I could possibly count. Note to starving college students: the large bags of basmati rice coming in just over $1 per lb. in the largest bags are a sure way to stay fed on the cheap, and it's hands down the best rice in town in my opinion, priced far less than the Community Merc. Love ya Merc, but your rice at twice the price isn't in the same league. Also a must: the large olive oils in the can. Yea, I know what you're thinking, but again, the quality here is unparalleled in Lawrence. Better than the Merc at multiples over in pricing. Easy decision. Buy bulk, save a ton of money. Other quality staples purchased regularly: Pine Nuts - top notch quality and best price in town. Dates Olives - great selection in bulk Canned Sardines - best in town in my opinion Pecorino Romano - again, a surprising option for this store, terrific quality. ... and much more. Love this place. The owner is friendly and the service is good, prices reasonable. Lots of interesting food options and spices you aren't going to find elsewhere in town make this a must destination for food shoppers.

    I think the stuffed grape leaves are the yummiest thing you can eat in Lawrence! And the hummus is beautiful too. Sure, the ambiance is off - it is a strip mall - but heck, these guys can cook! Once I went in to buy groceries. I told the owner what I was planning on making. He was so worried that I would get the flavor profile wrong, he mixed some up himself and sent me home with it. I loved it!

    This was my first time eating chicken shawarma and I loved it! Will definitely eat here again and recommend it to people.

    The food is tasty here, but not the feed middle eastern in town. The baba ganoush was smoky and delicious, but the falafel was spongy and cakey. The dolmas were expensive to come from a can. The red lentil soup was very delicious, but again, very expensive. The ambiance is lacking, but not much can be expected, as the cafe is inside the store. Our dinner for two came out to fifty bucks. That was one entree, two appetizers, two soups and one drink. In my opinion, Aladdin's cafe is more delicious, and better priced!

    Tried this place after reading reviews and was not disappointed. The hummus is delicious and the pita fresh and warm. I had the spinach pie; it has the perfect balance of flaky and moist, go for it!

    This place is off the beaten path but totally hits the spot when you're craving street food. Don't expect anything fancy or exciting, you get standard Mediterranean fare here: gyros, moussaka, falafel, and shawarma, and it's all served on paper Dixie plates. Love it. Their sandwiches are reasonably priced (5.99) but a little on the small side if you have a bigger appetite than me. The falafel wasn't quite as crisp and similarly the shawarma wasn't as rich or juicy as it could've been, but this is not exactly a restaurant with a shawarma spit in the window and a full-time cooking staff so you can't expect that level of freshness. It did the job well enough for me, and still tastes A-ok when folded in with warm, delicate pita and tahini. It makes me sad that so few people seem to know about this place - try it!! It's a nice little find in Lawrence.

    You wouldn't think one of the best gyros ever would be found in an unassuming strip mall. Their market has a wide variety of Middle Eastern food and their lamb and beef gyro is incredible.

    Mediterranean Market is a good, solid option for Middle Eastern food in a casual setting.

    When I lived in Lawrence, I loved going to this place. I bought the tzaziki sauce by the pint and ate it with their homemade pita and gyros. Their moussaka is to die for. Flavorful, savory layers of of eggplant and ground lamb folded with a delicious tomato sauce and finally covered with a blanket of cinnamon spiced bechamel sauce. My sister and I would frequent this place often when we went on a culinary adventure to the Middle East in our kitchen. We would find everything we needed to make our own moussaka, our version of adas polo, our endeavor to make dolmadas, and our awesome rendition of baklava.

    The Mediterranean Market's variety of grocery items alone is pretty nice, however it's their cafe food that I want to comment on. We had the lunch gyros combo. It comes with gyros sandwich, side salad, pita and hummus. I did not have high expectations as it has a deli atmosphere, and the food was presented on paper plates and plastic silverware. However when I tasted the food, I was extremely surprised and delighted. The gyros meat was the best I've ever had. It is more flavorful and tender as well as thicker cut than most places. The pita was soft and the hummus had what I would guess is a more authentic flavor than what I've had before, because you could actually taste the tahini in it. The people working in the store were some of the friendliest and most helpful I've encountered in an ethnic grocery. We will definitely visit again!
