Meddys — Restaurant in Lenexa

I am very picky about my reviews. This was my first time at Meddys as I am in town on business. Wow is all I can say. High-end restaurant food at an affordable price in a relaxed yet upscale quick-service atmosphere. The flavor of the food is truly out of this world, I now see why every location has nearly a full five stars. The server Barbara at this location sealed the deal in making this a five star review. If you are like me and had never been to Meddys before, do yourself a favor: go find out what you’ve been missing.

I had the Meddys Main Plate with chicken and lamb, suggested by Barbara. It was a huge serving of deliciousness. I eat a lot of food and am rarely satisfied with portion sizes; this was a non-issue here. And it was incredible. I can’t say enough how picky I am about my food reviews; this was off the charts good and so fresh and healthy. It tasted like taking a bite of a Mediterranean garden with so many flavors of veggies and herbs and meats.

The dining area is beautiful with very comfortable seating. The entire restaurant felt very upscale and clean, even the bathrooms. What really made my experience was the server, Barbara. She went out of her way to go above and beyond. As it was my first time here, she came around the counter to explain the entire menu to me. She suggested I do half and half of the proteins so I could try two different kinds of meats with the plate, which I loved. Throughout my meal she was consistently checking on me, clearing used dishes and napkins from my table, and even bringing me refills of my drink without me asking.

This just became my new favorite post-gym food stop when I’m in town. I...

Very good food, big serving sizes with a fair price.

The Garlicky Chicken was roasted crispy throughout and was coated with a paste-like garlic sauce along with the crispy potato. The sauce was tangy and flavorful. The plate also came with a big dollop of Toum on the side, in case it wasn’t already garlicky enough — I love garlic, so I mopped it clean with the free pita bread they served at the start. I also loved the three different picked vegetables (cucumber, cherry tomato, beet) for cleansing my palate.

The falafel can be ordered as a side, and it comes in 4 per order on a bed of red bell pepper, served with a small cup of Tahini sauce. The falafel was tender throughout, good flavor on its own, and had a thin and light crust, much better than the thick and almost hard crust of falafel served in other places. The Tahini sauce had a high ratio of Tahini in it, which meant that the texture was thick and the flavor was strong, which I liked a lot.

The service here was very efficient. I came in and ordered at the counter. Not soon after I found a table and sat down, the free pita bread came quickly to my side. The food came out of the kitchen very quickly, and the waiter offered takeout boxes to me in advance, so that once the meal is done, I could immediately pack up the leftovers and get out quickly. They did seem to offer table...

First of all, google maps takes you the wrong way. Meddys is on the east side of McKeevers Market! I'm so glad we didn't give up on locating it!

Meddys blew us away! To start, the building is beautiful, and they have a nice patio! The restaurant is very clean. The center of the dining room features a large olive tree you can sit under for a nice ambience.

We were greeted by a friendly crew, despite arriving not long before closing. We told Mark, who took our order, we had not been in before and he took his time to explain the menu and give recommendations. He also came to check on us several times throughout the meal. I'm fairly indifferent to most Mediterranean food, but the hummus stacked bowl was incredible! The flavor of the hummus was delicious, and the veggies that came with it were cooked to perfection. I ordered the beef and it was lean and satisfying. My boyfriend had the lamb meal, and lentil soup. He was raving about it all night!

The food was excellent and the service from everyone working was even better. I haven't been this excited about a new restaurant in years. We will be back, without a doubt. Please consider expanding to Columbia, MO so we can...
