Mediterranean Restaurants near Emeryville

“So glad I came here. Plenty of parking at Safeway. Walked directly across the street into the alley to find this hole in the wall gem. Was immediately given a lentil soup and water as soon as I sat down. Ordered a steak burrito which was massive. All delicious food. Low key vibes. Not busy at all. Cash only. ATM available in the restaurant. Nice people working there.Parking: Park at Safeway and walk across the street.“

“The Banks Club in Emeryville is the spot! Soul, funk tunes fill the air all day, and the DJ sets on weekends are just dope. Karaoke nights? Always a blast. They pour generously too. I've had countless great times here. It's like the Cheers of Emeryville - you're gonna love it. 100% recommend!“

“Jayna offers an array of Mediterranean eats, similar to what you'd find at Nick the Greek. However, the food is 10x better! Not too salty, the Beef and Lamb gyro was extremely savory with flavor, it did not feel like the food was from the freezer. Got the combo and was MORE than enough food for a late lunch early dinner. May not need to eat later and if i do, I'll have leftovers. Definitely check them out if you want a more flavorful, fast-ish Mediterrean food experience.Huge shout out to Ali for his great service and welcoming smile!“

“The food us well worth the money that you spend in there. Sandwiches are delicious, burgers are great and they have delicious variety of salads. I believe they have something for everyone on the menu. I go to the one in Emeryville on Powell Street in the building 2000.“

“I lived in the Middle East and what Mezze and Mooore offers is of the same high standard as the best restaurants in Beirut.“

“I could'nt've (<- check out my contraction) been more happy at dinner. The food was great, the owners and employees were kind, and it wasn't too loud.We ate around the menu that day, it's not a massive menu, but everything on the list can fend for itself. For starters we tried their crazy-crazy eggs with shrimp and some special sauce. I wasn't familiar with it but it was good. We also got this big folded over thing called Brik. It reminded me of some Moroccan treats that are a lot smaller, but this was more of an appetizer with potatoes and capers. It was really good!We ended up getting Lamb Tajine and Branzino for our main courses. I have to say, the Branzino was probably a little over-salted for most people, but it was right down my alley. I've never enjoyed a fish more. The Lamb was equally delicious, with the dark color and perfect seasoning.Dessert..... Let me tell you about dessert. First, the cream looked delicious, then we knocked it over by accident onto my Baklava, then we ate both and smiled like the Grinch did (ear to ear). What an amazing place.The place is a little cramped, but it wasn't something that we were bothered by, it's the city. Even when the waiter shuffled in between the tables it wasn't like his butt cheeks were relaxing in your soup. It was just enough space. The place had light music in the background and a nice bar, it was a really nice place.“

“The ambiance of the space was delightful, characterized by high ceilings and generously sized tables that provided ample comfort and space to savor our meal. Offering both indoor and outdoor dining options, the outdoor area featured a portion shielded by plastic, ensuring protection from the elements. Additionally, a second-floor dining room overlooking the main indoor area seemed reserved for private functions. The cuisine impressed with its excellence and visually appealing presentation. Service was both friendly and attentive, and portion sizes were fitting for a fine dining experience. An added charm was the outdoor movie screenings against the establishment's wall, which lent its name. Highly recommended.“

“What a great local spot to have that is something so different than other spots.I ordered Ciblir - 7/5 one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, wife tired the Burrata and Fatoush salad 4/5. We also split a Simit with feta olives and honey 5/5 .Delicious, satisfying and doesn’t weigh you down.“

“What a lovely place! From the beautiful space with high ceilings and natural light to the delicious food, we had such a wonderful experience dining here. We had a Wednesday night reservation at 6:30pm and upon arrive the main dining room was fairly empty. With that being said, it gave us time to appreciate the space and all of the beautiful details. While I was wrapped up mostly in great conversations throughout out meal, everything we ate was so tasty! From our beautiful and vibrant amuse bouche to our final bites of dessert, not only did we leave full but also satisfied. Among my favorite bites ordered: Wood Fired Flower Bread, Crunchy Shrimps and the Manti dumplngs were among my favorite starters. As for the entrees, I could have done without the Wheatberry Risotto, but the Branzino and Lamb Chops are standout dishes I would definitely order again without hesitation! I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but as a group we ordered the Turkish Donuts which I had a taste of. The dessert was rich and decadent (and not overly sweet!) I'd recommend Taksim to just about anyone for a range of occasions and dietary accommodations. They have a little bit for everyone and with their excellent service and high quality of food, it's hard to go wrong!“
