Phoenician Garden Mediterranean Bar and Grill

I have had this restaurant on my list to try as I haven’t been able to find what I am looking for when it comes to Mediterranean food in Fresno. As most customers stated, as soon as I entered, I felt welcomed. The decor is very nice as well as the staff I encountered. My waiter was Samuel who was extremely prompt. I explained to him about my experiences thus far hence me not wanting to waste money on things I love only to be disappointed. He listened, unlike some waiters and waitresses, and helped me with options and provided some suggestions. I had their Long Island Iced Tea (poured by Samuel himself) which tasted as it should - like iced tea! He definitely knows how to pour as I can only count on one hand the number of Long Islands where the alcohol is masked … but the alcohol is felt. It was my boyfriend first time with Mediterranean cuisine so I ordered a small hummus to start (recommended by Samuel as I didn’t see the small one on the menu). He was so creamy … and the presentation was remarkable. Once my boyfriend arrived, he ordered the Spicy Chicken based on pictures I showed him on Yelp. Me, I wanted everything! However I ended up with the gyro wrap with a side of roasted potatoes. I must say, probably the best roasted potatoes I’ve had because I love garlic … and it was the perfect amount. The garlic sauce is excellent as well. Creamy and garlicky. I tasted my boyfriend’s Spicy Chicken and it was delicious! This creamy and spicy dish is as something I didn’t expect. I do not like rice pilaf, but I am a huge fan of theirs. Delicate and flavorful. Samuel did not rush us nor any of the other staff. Some restaurants rush you out as if there a time limit. Dessert … I had to bring something back for my mother. I already had my heart set on the lemon cake based on Yelp images, but Samuel advised the cheesecake is superb as well as the famous cake. He did not lie. The best lemon cake I’ve ever had and my mom loved her cheesecake. The only sad thing was when I called back later to find out if they sell the cake whole … I will be back to try the shawarmas and falafels for sure! Thanks for giving me a place to find what I am looking for .. finally!
