Grand Mediterranean — Restaurant in Des Peres

We were excited to try it since it has 4.9 stars on others platforms. A group of us went there on Sunday and our food was so oily it wasn’t edible. The sandwiches were literally leaking oil, we couldn’t eat the pita because of how much oil was on it. We dried up the meat with napkins to salvage it but the rest was not edible. We all had upset gassy stomachs for the next 24 hours due to such high fat content. I will say we all ordered lamb/beef doner meat. My husband ordered a kebab and it was not oily. Three of us had terribly oily food. Yes, we should have gone back and complained in retrospect and given them a chance to fix it. Putting this review out there as critical feedback for the store to do some quality control on oil levels used when preparing food. It also took a very long time to get our food, almost as if we were at a sit down restaurant. This is the mall food court, most clients expect relatively quick delivery of their food. Wish them luck and hope they succeed...

My wife and I love gyros but our favorite place (Soulard Gyro) is a bit far, so we don’t get it often. Thus, we had high hopes for Grand Mediterranean.

I ordered a doner pita, chicken doner pita, and falafel. The pitas have a “white garlic sauce” that I was excited to try.

Unfortunately, the white garlic sauce is overwhelmingly minty. I couldn’t even taste the garlic. The mint overpowered all other flavors and neither pita was enjoyable. The falafel was better. They offer a spicy red sauce so I will be sure to try that on the doner pitas next time.

The online ordering process through Toast was easy and my order was ready when I arrived, and the staff were friendly.

I’ll update my review once I try their spicy red sauce,...

Yesterday, I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Grand Mediterranean Restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious, that truly reflect the richness of Mediterranean cuisine. I was especially impressed by Shepherd’s Salad- it was exceptionally fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced in taste. It was prepared by a lovely young woman who not only demonstrated great skill in her preparation but also exuded warmth and kindness throughout the entire visit. Her welcoming attitude and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable food. I will definitely...
