Great service and food, went after dinner for a snack and cocktails it was fairly empty, place is beautiful and clean. Loved the whiskey options. The food I had was delicious, I'm local and always in the area I'll be back

The Diplomat as I was craving for Mediterranean food. But ToGo for 10 adults. Called them and X2O Cafe also in Monrovia; however, I have to say that I was so much more impressed with The Diplomat because the person who took my initial call and Manager, Joey were so nice and helpful. They were very patient and accommodating making suggestions. Joey even mentioned that we didn't need to over order and scale it back, which surprised me as most business wouldn't do that as the more you order the more they make. This alone convinced me enough to go with them. Plus the reviews were really good, which of course helped to seal the deal. Here's what we ordered: 8 beef kebobs, 8 chicken kebobs, Rice pilaf enough for 10, 2 humus. Joey gave us extras (meat, veggies, humus, pita) which we weren't even expecting. He knows how to run a business that will have customers coming back for more. I highly recommend you to try this place.

3 months agoWe had a wonderful lunch here, we sat outside and it was very comfortable. We had two appetizers , Brussel sprouts and fried cauliflower, and both were very good. I had a chicken kabob and the meat was jucey and delicious. The cocktail was nice and had real rose pedals in it. There is a great selection of beer and cocktails.

3 months agoThis is a nice place to eat on a weekday lunch. That's when I was there. Not too busy and good atmosphere. The service was friendly and nice. I had a bowl of the vegetable soup and a Greek salad with filet mignon. The filet was so tender and delicious. It's been a long time since I had such a tender piece of meat. They have a great selection of whisky too although I didn't have any drinks. Great place for a nice lunch. I plan on going back.

11 months agoConvenient location and there are many public parking spots around. Pricing is average. Food is pretty good. I ordered Chicken Shawarma fries plate. There were 4 of us, so food didn’t take too long to come out. When we needed a box to go, my friend had to go ask because it was hard to wave down the waitress. It was very loud inside because one party was laughing super loud. So just be aware the place is really echoey. Not good for trying to have conversations.

9 months agoAmazing food and service! My first time here and I loved everything! Our waiter was nice and attentive. There’s outdoor seating and it was a nice quiet evening. Perfect for a date night or night with with family or friends. The food was delicious. Tasty drinks and the portions are perfect for sharing. If you’re looking for a Mediterranean restaurant I highly recommend coming here!

7 months agoThe food is incredibly delicious here. Be warned though all of the portions could quite easily feed two people. We wanted a few of the dips and they were huge portions. All in all we had a fantastic meal and would definitely come again. Lots of vegetarian options which is a bonus.
