Edit: Found a hair in the watery, white sauce. The hummus tastes super weird like it has cheese in it almost. Definitely missing salt and lemon and seems like it is made with an oil that is not olive oil. I came here after seeing great reviews. I got gyro and chicken shawarma plates. The chicken shawarma is pink, almost like tandoori chicken that completely lacks flavor. The gyro is burnt and very salty. The plate is predominately rice which tastes how I imagine creek water would with two watery, flavorless sauces, soggy cucumber salad, and a little meat. All of this for $18 per plate… The restaurant -if you can call it that - seems to be fashioned out of the storeroom of the adjoining corner store/vape shop. The premises are very dirty. The power outlets lack proper covers, tiles falling off the walls, etc. I don’t know how this place has such good ratings.

From the looks of the inside it did not seem very clean and was off-putting. Seems really in need of cleaning and repairs. The food was not great. I’m normally a big fan of Mediterranean. I think they may have some potential to improve but I wouldn’t go back again based on this experience.

Hayati Mediterranean Grill goes crazy. Hole in the wall joint serving it up proper. The gyros slap hard and you’re not finding a better bang for your buck anywhere. Shawarma plates? Premo every time. This spot just hits.
