This is a quick service Mediterranean restaurant with shawarmas, falafels, and bowls with rice or vegetables piled with meat. Ambiance is quite casual. I thought the pricing was a little high for the food that we got, but maybe on par with other restaurants on Maryland Plaza. We had a Palestine shawarma, falafels, and a Damascus bowl. They were all tasty and the place was worth another visit in the future. It's probably too casual for a special occasion or business meeting.

At Medina Mediterranean, the food is delicious, the staff is welcoming, and the whole place is impeccably clean It's not every day that the food I order is referred to as "fun" but after our initial comments on the flavor (all excellent), that's exactly the word we settled on. We ordered a Juicy Jerusalem and a Summer in Dubai with a side of falafel bites. The falafel was exactly what I hoped it would be, the textures were just right and the flavor popped. The sandwiches, though, sidestepped what I expected just enough to be really...fun! We will absolutely be back

Absolutely delicious! The garlic tahini is just so darn good! The hummus is fresh and the meat is flavorful. You really can't go wrong with anything from here.

I always have a wonderful experience ordering food from here. The dodana is my go-to and love the salads, too. I really don't think you can go wrong with this menu. The portions are generous and the price is right.

Medina has really great middle eastern themed sandwiches in the CWE. I personally love the Juicy Jerusalem and Summer in Dubai. You can choose between beef and chicken on each sandwich. It is a small shop so we usually just get ours to go which seems to be what most people do but the staff interactions have always been positive. You get a choice of a bag of chips or falafel bites as your side which was the one downside for me. I wish there was a fresher option for sides or some sort of condiment served with the falafel bites. I havent had a chance to try their rice bowls yet but they look really good and I plan on checking them out on my next trip.

Had lunch here with the family. The manager, Sharif was super nice, explained the entire menu to us, and even went out of his way to let us know know we could customize anything for the kids, as they can be picky. I had the "Original Palestine", which was fantastic. The chicken was super fresh, and the flavor was great. I also tried some of the "Summer in Dubai", which was also very good, especially if you like a little heat. I would recommend getting one of the sandwiches on the French bread, which I thought was better than the pita bread, but everything was good.

This place is absolutely delicious. I was first introduced to Medina Bowl several years ago and hate that it's taken me this long to give them a review. While you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, my two favorites are the C'zar salad and the Medina bowl. Since I was running errands most of the day, I skipped breakfast and lunch, so needless to say I was quite ravenous. I opted on getting a Medina bowl with regular chicken, and subbed the regular tahini for pesto tahini. All of the bowls come with seasoned basmati rice, your choice of meat, and other various toppings depending on the bowl. The first bite is always the best as you get the surge of flavors with the tzatziki sauce, rice and meat. Speaking of meat, it's easily some of the best seasoned meat I've ever had. While I can't speak for the spicy, the regular hits just right. I got mine to go, which only took about 5 mins to prepare. If you're looking to dine-in, there's plenty of spots by the door and the tables they have near where you'd order. As previously mentioned, I've had both the c'zar salad and Medina bowl, so I think next time I'll branch out and try something new.
