Mediterranean Plus specialized in various Mediterranean cuisines, including Greek and Middle Eastern dishes. Its menu contained a number of vegetarian selections, and many entrees were served with homemade hummus and toasted pita.
The restaurant closed in September 2008 after a decision by the restaurant's landlord to sell the building. Khalil stated he would take some time off but expressed his desire to eventually reopen the restaurant in a different location.
