Mediterranean Grill House Mountain View: Your Summer 2026 Halal Dining Guide — Father’s Day, Shoreline & Graduation
Some restaurants open and close with the trends. Mediterranean Grill House on 650 Castro Street in Mountain View has been here since 1973 — over 50 years of feeding the South Bay with authentic halal Mediterranean food. Hasan Ibrahim, who started this business in Chicago in 1973, set a standard that his sons continue today: top-quality food, fresh all-natural ingredients, and the kind of personal hospitality where the owner knows your name.
Summer 2026 brings three compelling reasons to visit. Father’s Day is June 15. Shoreline Amphitheatre concert season is in full swing — and we’re open until 4:30 AM Thursday through Saturday for post-show dining. And the Class of 2026 is graduating, which means graduation catering bookings are open.
A 50+ Year Track Record on Castro Street
There’s a reason Mediterranean Grill House has outlasted every trend and chain restaurant that’s come through Mountain View’s Castro Street corridor. Owner Hasan Ibrahim’s philosophy — “I serve the same food to my customers that I would gladly serve to my own family” — isn’t a marketing line. He visits tables during lunch and dinner to make sure every meal is right.
The result is a restaurant with a reputation built over decades, not a review cycle. If you eat halal on the Peninsula and you haven’t been, this is the summer to change that.
Summer Menu Highlights
Chicken Shawarma — The most iconic dish on the menu. Tender chicken, seasoned and roasted, served in wrap or platter form. Full guide →
Dolma Plate — Stuffed grape leaves, one of the most distinctive items on our menu and a dish most Mountain View restaurants don’t even attempt.
Kofta Kebab Platter — Ground seasoned beef on skewers, grilled over an open flame. Rich, herbaceous, and the kind of dish that makes every other kebab you’ve had seem rushed.
Hummus — Made in-house. Simple, perfect, and the foundation of any Mediterranean meal.
Shawarma Wraps — Available in chicken or beef. The classic handheld for anyone who wants a full Mediterranean experience without a plate.
Father’s Day at Mediterranean Grill House — Sunday, June 15, 2026
Father’s Day at a restaurant that’s been open since 1973 is a different experience. This is a family business, run by a father and his sons — the kind of place that understands what Father’s Day means. Our recommendation: Kofta Kebab Platter as a centerpiece, Chicken Shawarma on the side, Hummus and pita to start, and a cup of Sanaa Yemeni Coffee to finish. Father’s Day details →
Shoreline Amphitheatre Season — Open Until 4:30 AM
Shoreline Amphitheatre’s summer concert season runs through June, July, and August — and Mediterranean Grill House is one of the only quality halal restaurants in Mountain View open late enough to serve you after the show. Thursday through Saturday, we’re open until 4:30 AM.
If you’re attending a concert at Shoreline, Mediterranean Grill House is a 10-minute drive for post-show Chicken Shawarma, Kofta Kebab, and Sanaa Coffee. Late-night Shoreline dining details →
Graduation Catering — NASA Ames, Google Campus & Home Events
Our corporate catering program serves NASA Ames and Googleplex teams with individual halal Box Lunches and massive kebab platters for meetings.

Sana’a Coffee — Yemeni Spiced Coffee on Castro Street
After your meal — or any afternoon on Castro Street — Sana’a Coffee at Mediterranean Grill House is the right stop. Traditional Yemeni spiced coffee: earthy, aromatic, and unlike any coffee you’ll find at a chain café. Available daily. Full Sana’a Coffee guide →
