Food was great. The only complaint I had was the tables are pretty tall compared to the chairs. Makes you feel like you are sitting at the kids table at Thanksgiving. The sausage in the jambalaya pasta was really, really, good. The shrimp was somewhat overcooked but it could be because the plate was so hot it probably continued cooking when it was served. My partner had the Greek feast and enjoyed it all. She said the chicken shawarma was the best part. We have always kind of ignored this place because their menu is so varied and we thought that with so many choices, nothing was going to be very good. I am glad we have it a chance because both our dishes were excellent! The server was also very pleasant and w will definitely be back soon!

I had an online order and only realized an item was missing after getting back to my hotel. They had a replacement item waiting for me when I returned with a desert on the house. The food is amazing. The best clam chowder I have had outside Ft. Bragg

We were able to walk up, no reservations and get a table for 7! Such service, excellent food and they even were flexible to give us separate checks! So great, two of us returned the next night and on the 3rd night I ordered a pizza to go.

9/17/25 Experience the Mediterranean here in Pacific Grove. Delicate balanced flavorful dishes accompanied by soft Mediterranean music. The staff always friendly and great service, been coming here now for the last 2 years and everything I have ordered excellent balanced in flavors not too strong of one ingredient or another, they're Clam Chowder silky and smooth the best anywhere in the San Francisco area. Today I had their churros salad The Mediterranean comes alive.

I like this restaurant. We found it on the Google Maps by reviews. Very authentic place in downtown of Pacific Grove (small city in the ocean), not far from the beach and Lovers Point Park. Lovely service, tasty dishes, variety of food from different countries. So anyone can find something here. I ate Jordanian Hummus and Award Winning the Best Clam Chowder. Like it. The owner is very nice Jordanian and his wife is Ukrainian. Lovely people. He is so nice with guests. He offered us a complimentary dessert and real Turkish coffee which was soooo delicious 😋 Thanks for such a warm welcome! I definitely recommend to visit it. 🫶🫶🫶

We were walking around downtown looking for a nice place for dinner. We were looking at the menu display outside when the host came up to us and asks if we wanted a table and we said sure! He sat us down and the restaurant was quite lively, it was very cozy, romantic, and the people were very nice. There were families, friends, and a lot of couples. We ordered the award winning clam chowder, the cheesey bread, seafood pasta, and chicken pesto pasta. The menu is quite extensive so there is something for everyone. I also ordered the mint tea which was so incredibly delicious. The clam chowder was hearty, thick, and wonderful. The cheesey bread was a big portion and came with marinara sauce. The seafood pasta was creamy and had a lot of seafood. The pesto chicken pasta was good as well. We were so full by the end of dinner. I would come here again for the vibes and the food.

Exceptional Service. Delicious food! A Saturday night in Pacific Grove, the sun had just set, and after a 10-minute drive from the beach to International Cuisine, we were seated immediately. Mango lemonade- fresh, zingy, balance of lemon and mango. The pomegranate Martini was a fresh twist to the traditional cocktail. The Greek chicken kabobs served with a Greek salad, and rice were perfect. The chicken was seasoned well with salt, pepper and rosemary. The gluten-free fig, pistachio, and cured pork with hot honey pizza were excellent. An amazing blend of flavors served with a white sauce. Dessert- Venetian pistachio mousse! Wow. Drizzled with chocolate and Carmel and served with ripped cream. Finally a Turkish coffee, that kept us up for hours. Bold, savory flavour that took us back to Istanbul.

Fabulous flavors and great service! Definitely a local spot here in Pacific Grove. The place was super busy and they still had dinner out in a very timely manner. Several servers help each table. They work as a team here. The Greek Salad was super fresh. We had the Bolognese, Jambalaya, and cheese bread. Our meals were super flavorful. The place had families with kids eating here, and date night too. Clean bathroom in the building too. This place is wheelchair/walker accessible. There is free parking and easier to get spots in the evenings. We walked there, but there was parking available.

Nice place for dinner and drinks. A bit pricey but great food. We came here to try their clam chowder which was delicious. We also had the Pizza Napoli and Homemade Seafood Ravioli. Both were equally delicious.

Many different nationalities of dishes, I found the Italian pastas have pretty uninspiring flavors, but was still hearty Italian. Service was very good and friendly, ambiance is comfottable and easily conversational. Reasonable pricing.

I liked that this place is small and cozy. There is not a bunch of TVs and there is nice, mellow piano music playing in the background. The service was really good. I loved that everyone working there came up to our table at some point to check on us. Finally, the food was excellent. We had the Greek feast and the beef shawarma, which was really well seasoned. The hummus was a bit underwhelming, but the salad was exceptional and the rice was flavorful. A nice extra was the free pesto flat bread we got when we checked in on Yelp. I recommend this place.

We were told the kitchen is closed 25 mins before closing time. Ok fine. We put in for takeout. After we got ours and were walking out, others, sitting at the table were just getting theirs. So why couldn't we get ours served? Ok whatever... Then we get to our hotel and checked what we got and the portions were ridiculously small for $25 meals. Big mistake going here!

Ordered the Gorgonzola burger but didn’t taste any Gorgonzola in it. The steak wasn’t good quality and the waiter didn’t ask how cooked I wanted it. Fries were clearly not homemade. The raspberry lemonade had an awful chemical taste I didn’t finish it, only sugar in it. And then the waiter put 19% of gratuity on the receipt without even asking us. My partner had the chicken shawarma and liked it.

Ordered the 10" personal pizza size with sausage, artichokes, onions & cheese. The waiter suggested I might like it crispy as I indicated I liked my sausage cooked well. I should have asked for light cheese which is my usual preference. The pizza was much thicker & more spongy than I prefer. My side Greek Salad was good. This would not be my go to spot for pizza. The facility was nicely decorated & I had a great window seat. Staff were attentive.
