The Take
Order the grilled chicken rice or romaine bowl loaded with veggies, feta, dill sauce and pita on the side. Rachel's Mediterranean Grill earns a 34 Slop Score for solid fresh ingredients undermined by chain mediocrity.
Health-conscious locals buy in to signal clean eating and support a regional NY spot, but the unconfirmed dressings and basic seating reveal the cope behind the fresh-all-natural pitch.
The Verdict
Stick to the based grilled chicken bowl with extra veggies and house sauce on the side for max flavor and balance. Skip the baklava desserts and unbalanced heavy rice orders.
This is a decent local option for fresh Mediterranean vibes but nothing special enough to chase. Slop Score 34.
