“Mediterranean kebabs that make you forget you're eating at Gate 115.”
Reviewers explicitly compare it favorably to McDonald's next door and call it 'the best quality food you'll find at the airport.'
Food court setup with efficient ordering, fast turnaround for pre-flight dining.
Mediterranean chicken kebabs mentioned specifically as a standout, along with 'authentic and fresh' prep.
Multiple reviewers name-check friendly staff (Habibi, Marabell) — unusual for airport food to inspire that kind of call-out.
“Luna Grill is the airport outpost that somehow delivers better Mediterranean food than most sit-down restaurants on land.”
While Kebab Craft lets you build your own plate counter-service style and Mitch's deals in whatever the boats hauled in, Luna Grill operates under a constraint most restaurants never face: making airport food that doesn't taste like airport food. Tucked inside the terminal food court at Gate 115, this is where the low-bar expectations of pre-flight dining get quietly shattered by chicken kebabs that reviewers swear are the best airport meal they've ever had.
The setup is fast-casual—order at the counter, grab your tray, eat before your boarding group gets called. But the execution doesn't cut corners. Those chicken kebabs come off the grill with actual char, not warming-tray pallor. The fries hit the sweet spot between crispy and not-from-a-bag that's rare even at full-service spots. Everything arrives looking like it was plated for Instagram, which is a flex when you're competing with a McDonald's next door.
Staff here—particularly Habibi and Marabell, who regulars call out by name—seem genuinely invested in the ritual of making travelers feel human again. That matters more than you'd think when you're sprinting through security or killing time during a delay. The portions skew smaller than you'd get at a neighborhood Mediterranean spot, but the quality holds. Skip the fast-food fallbacks and grab the kebabs, the fries, and whatever time you've got left before boarding.
