\n19-year-old entrepreneur and law student brings fast-growing Greek concept with fresh Mediterranean flavors to his hometown.<\/p>\n

\"TheBakersfield, CA\u00a0 (RestaurantNews.com<\/a>)\u00a0 Local fans of the freshly made cuisine of The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill<\/a>\u00ae will now have two choices in Bakersfield where they can indulge. The highly successful name in fast-casual dining has opened a new location at 9815 Panama Lane in the Old River Ranch shopping center with another coming to 3915 Rosedale Highway in Rosedale Crossing this week.<\/p>\n

The two locations are owned by Bakersfield native, Gurshaan Sidhu, a 19-year-old entrepreneur and law student who saw both a business opportunity and a way to share some of his favorite meals based on classic Greek cuisine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud to bring The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill to Bakersfield and introduce our community to food that I genuinely love,\u201d said Sidhu. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to build something meaningful in the city where I grew up, and this concept checks every box. It offers fresh, healthier options without sacrificing flavor, and I think people are going to be excited to have something new and different.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill is known for its diverse menu rooted in the Mediterranean diet, offering customizable options such as rice bowls, fresh salads, and pita wraps with a variety of proteins including gyro meat and salmon. Signature items include made-to-order Feta Fries, house-made dips, and desserts like baklava ice cream and rice pudding.<\/p>\n

Beyond dine-in service, the new Bakersfield locations offer Mediterranean-style catering for corporate events, community gatherings, and family celebrations, with build-your-own gyro stations, souvlaki skewers, traditional sides, and desserts, all designed to deliver a full Greek dining experience.<\/p>\n

The two new locations provide convenient options for guests across the community, offering flexibility for a range of occasions. Panama Lane, which seats 45 guests in a 2,200-square-foot space, is located near residential neighborhoods that\u2019s home to many families. Meanwhile, the Rosedale Crossing venue, with 55 seats in 2,500 square feet, is in a more industrial locale and is very popular as a business lunch spot for meetings and social gatherings. Together, the locations expand the brand\u2019s reach while making it easier for guests to enjoy accessibility to fresh Mediterranean food throughout Bakersfield.<\/p>\n
