Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Rudy's Mediterranean Grill offers "excellent food" with a focus on fresh, flavorful Turkish and Mediterranean dishes. The "ambiance is beautiful," and the service is "friendly and attentive." Standout dishes include the falafel salad and Lamb Adana Yogurt. However, note the 3% credit card charge. A "hidden gem" for a delightful dining experience.

    Rudy himself is one of a kind. I’ve dined twice and he treats me like a lifelong good friend. Rudy IS a huge reason why I visit. The man is an artisan around his grills, and his marinades are like works of art. Prepare yourself for a marvelous dining experience.

    Hummus and Lentil soup were delicious as appetizers. Chicken kabobs and rice were great as were the other entrees ordered. Only down side is that they now charge 3% for credit card use. There might be a sign or notice somewhere, but we did not see it.

    Spinach pie was excellent. Salmon was OK, but the salad was “boring.” Dolmas were good.

    A hidden gem for wonderful Turkish/Mediterranean food and a quiet weekday dinner. We always order the babaganoush and are never disappointed! The falafel salad was probably the best I have ever had - crispy and still moist enough. The spinach and feta pide had lovely fresh cheese, and the salmon was served on. a bed of buttery rice! Everything was excellent.

    The appetizers were definitely the Star. lentil soup and wings. The entree was only mediocre and very expensive for what you got. We had the Rudy’s which included chicken, lamb and beef kabobs…the beef and lamb were fairly tough and each set of meat only had 3 small chunks. I would only come for the lentil soup and wings which were very good.
