A quaint Bohemian designed cafe in the middle of State Street. The service is quick and you are greeted with a smile. We ordered the Chicken Shwarma plate served with a delectable yellow rice, hummus, a traditional Greek style salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and topped with Feta. We also tried a bowl of the Lentil soup served with rice. It's affordable food and seasoned well. The personal choices such as the dressing for the salad had too much vinegar or the preparation of the chicken was not as seasoned and served in thick slices more as a roasted chicken were insignificant because the food is truly home cooked and delectable. The best dish, that warm bowl of whole lentil soup made with a blend of spices over rice was comforting on a cold chilly day. This restaurant is a hidden gem in the busy State Street row of restaurants and shops. t's restaurants like these who continue to serve their version of home-cooked food that is welcoming and very much appreciated.

Heard so much about Mediterranean Cafe and finally decided to try it and LOVED IT!! State street has a hidden gem. You all need to stop what you are doing and head to Med Cafe today. Mediterranean Cafe has been serving the Madison community for more than 20 years. It’s a casual and cozy restaurant serving Algerian food. The food here is delicious, has an authentic taste, and served quickly. You will go back here again after you have tried it once. We tried the chicken shawarma plate and chicken sandwich. The shawarma plate is served with rice, salad, hummus, and pita. The portion size is huge and I really thought I wouldn’t finish it. Once I started eating, I couldn’t stop and my plate was empty before you know it. The chicken and salad was so flavorful . The rice that accompanied it was also so well prepared. The chicken sandwich was also huge and so delicious. I cannot wait to go back there and try other things off their menu. Thank you to the person at the ordering station who recommended the shawarma plate to me, so so good!

Got the chicken shawarma plate for $13. Everything was good except that they had really big chicken pieces they could have done it with bite sized pieces. The chicken had almost no marination so it tasted bland. Salad was good. But Feta cheese on the salad didn't quite fit for the essence the dish had overall. It was a nice experience though as the dine in Ambience was great.
