" I just can't praise The Mediterranean Chef Cafe enough! Every time I've visited, their hummus has taken me back to my grandmother's kitchen. The flavors are so authentic and fresh; it's become my go-to place for Mediterranean food in Austin. The Nikki Special is a must-try! The staff are also incredibly friendly and accommodating. I even got a complimentary dessert on my last visit! Definitely, a hidden gem worth exploring. " (*Curated Review*)

" I hadn’t heard much about The Mediterranean Chef Cafe until a friend recommended it, and they did not steer me wrong! Each dish I tried was delicious—definitely authentic flavors that transported me back to different parts of the Mediterranean! The hummus is, of course, a highlight. The atmosphere was charming yet casual, perfect for a relaxed meal. A little crowded at peak times but that speaks to how good the food is! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're searching for authentic Mediterranean cuisine, look no further than The Mediterranean Chef Cafe. The care put into the food is observable in every bite. My favorite was the falafel; it was crispy on the outside and soft inside, simply the best! The service was fantastic; the staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home. It has a quaint atmosphere that adds to the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic dining experience! I was blown away by the authenticity of the Mediterranean Chef Cafe. The dish that stood out to me the most was the Nikki Special; it was deliciously spiced and served generously. You really feel the love and care put into making every meal. The ambiance was welcoming, but it felt a bit crowded at times due to its popularity. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food in a homey setting, look no further! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the falafel wrap and the portion was huge! The flavors were delightful, and you could tell everything was fresh. The staff made excellent recommendations and were genuinely attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere has a cute, homey feel. Great spot for a quick lunch if you're around the area!

" The Mediterranean Chef Cafe is a delightful little place with an inviting atmosphere. I ordered the gyros and they were cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, definitely worth the money! The only downside was the wait time as it gets busy during lunch, but it is well worth it for the amazing food. Their hummus is unmatched; I can't recommend it enough! Will be returning with friends next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather disappointing experience at The Mediterranean Chef Cafe. While the food was decent, it didn’t match up to my expectations, especially after reading all the rave reviews. The atmosphere was a bit cramped, and I didn’t feel comfortably welcomed by the staff. I tasted both the hummus and falafel wrap, both of which were underwhelming in flavor for my liking. More care is needed in the preparation of their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
