King Mediterrano® was founded in 2014 with two brothers Sarkis and Ara. They had a simple vision: to create a unique restaurant brand that was never done before. A restaurant that offered something unique and extraordinary. After brainstorming for ideas, the founders came up with a menu that will offer variety of food and drink selections, huge portion sizes, flavors with a fusion twist, all topped off with top notch service and at very affordable price. That’s how King Mediterrano® was born. Soon after, our sister Nora has joined our team in the early days to deliver and implement exceptional customer service.
At King Mediterrano®, we believe that our customers are the Kings. Our objective is to treat each and every customer with utmost professionalism. Our motto tells everything about who we are and what we stand for: feast like a king! Do not forget to come hungry because we have something special to share with you all the time.
